Description
Zinnia Gray, professional fairy-tale fixer and lapsed Sleeping Beauty is over rescuing snoring princesses. Once youve rescued a dozen damsels and burned fifty spindles, once youve gotten drunk with twenty good fairies and made out with one too many members of the royal family, you start to wish some of these girls would just get a grip and try solving their own narrative issues.
Just when Zinnias beginning to think she can’t handle one more princess, she glances into a mirror and sees another face looking back at her: the shockingly gorgeous face of evil, asking for her help. Because theres more than one person trapped in a story they didnt choose. Snow White’s Evil Queen has found out how her story ends from what might be Zinnias own book of fairy tales and she’s desperate for a better ending. She wants Zinnia to help her and she needs to do it before its too late for everyone. Will Zinnia accept the Queen’s poisonous request, and save them both from the hot iron shoes that wait for them, or will she try another path?
