Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and her father's life. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common - magic. She'll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen.

In the neighboring kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol's father and older brother are killed by an invading army of magic wielding ogres, the second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his kingdom. To do that, Kol needs magic of his own - and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman - and bring her Lorelai's heart. But Lorelai is nothing like Kol expected - beautiful, fierce, and unstoppable - and despite dark magic,

Lorelai is drawn in by the passionate and troubled king. Fighting to stay one step ahead of the dragon huntsman - who she likes far more than she should-Lorelai does everything in her power to ruin the wicked queen. But Irina isn't going down without a fight, and her final move may cost the princess the one thing she still has left to lose.

Critic reviews

"Redwine uses Snow White as a framework to create her own fantasy filled with complex characters, imaginative and horrible consequences, and sharp twists, all of which give this novel a place among other clever, contemporary romantic fantasies." ( Booklist)

Love the new snow white twist! Narrator was good for the female parts, but should have had a male for the male parts.

the story is great, the narrators great. Just didn't like a specific death in the book around chapter 14. Think it would have been better without it. Especially the ending.

great book, but 1 thing kinda ruined it for me.

You can feel the magic in this performance. The writing alone brings new life to the story of Snow White but it is so much more. Loved it!!!!

A nice new spin on the story of Snow White.In this tale,her huntsman happens to be a kingly,dragon hybrid.The evil queen is as evil as ever and very creative with her plans to rule what she"thinks"is her kingdom.But she can only"take"with force from those unwilling to aid her in her destruction of their home and land,taking a toll on the evil queens magic,draining her.She will go to any lengths though to win what she thinks is rightly hers,but in the end,only the heart of the princess,and the honesty of her magic will prevail leaving the evil queen with nothing.

The Shadow Queen delivered, this book took me a moment to get into- just like any fantasy book ( or maybe it was because I just finished a contemporary romance). But once I got into it I was hooked and by the end I wanted so much more.
Loved the ending 🥰 .

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Overall, this book was pretty average so the time I spent on it wasn't wasted, but wasn't treasured either.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

While it was a retelling, it lack anything new that makes retellings compelling to read.

Just an Average Retelling
