After a decade of war, the kingdoms of Avendell and Istellia have finally agreed to peace. As nobles and magic wielders from both countries arrive at remote Castle Avendell for a historic all-night masquerade to celebrate, King Costis summons an unlikely group to his chambers: the crown prince, his Istellian bride-to-be, his personal guard, a wild beast tamer, and the palace’s questionable new healer. But before Costis can reveal why he has gathered them, the castle goes dark.

When the lights come back, the king is dead—murdered with the princess’s knife, in a weak spot only his guard knew of, and with venom from one of the beast tamer’s monsters lacing the blade.

With no clear killer—and everyone a suspect—they make a risky pact: Tell no one until the treaty is signed. But when a winter storm seals everyone inside and someone aware of the king's untimely death begins to pick off guests one by one, the six suspects must work together to discover who killed the king before one of them is next.

When Snow White is never kissed, she awakens in her glass coffin twenty years later to a very different world. The forest has been ravaged by the Blight, the animals have mutated, and the dwarves are now poachers. Snow must survive the deadly forest and kill the Evil Queen’s daughter to reverse the damage…but she’s falling in love with her instead. 

An allegory for the consequence of climate change and the precarious balance of nature, The Wildest Things is a sapphic feminist fairytale that reimagines Snow White as a warrior for the soul of her kingdom on a mission to correct the wrongs done to the wild, no matter what darkness lies ahead. Fans of Hannah Whitten’s For the Wolf and Erin A. Craig’s House of Salt and Sorrows will devour this gritty retelling.
