Snow White has spent her life hiding a dangerous secret: her blood carries a rare, intoxicating essence. When her necromancer stepmother orders her death, she flees into the cursed Blackthorn Forest, collapsing from exhaustion and heartache. She awakens in the arms of Prince Valdric Von Nocturne?a vampire whose hunger battles an unexpected instinct to protect her.
Desperate and alone, Snow strikes a pact with Valdric: he will grant her sanctuary in his crumbling gothic castle, and in return, she will let him have what he so clearly hungers for. His coven?seven vampires bound to him, each embodying a deadly sin?watch her arrival with unsettling interest. Snow agrees to stay under one condition: Valdric must help her reclaim her stolen throne.
Valdric and other coven members tutors Snow in the art of deception and courtly power, while the late nights reveal a different kind of education?one that awakens her curiosity and challenges her understanding of desire, loyalty, and transformation. The castle's forbidden wing whispers of ancient temptations, and Snow finds herself drawn deeper into Valdric's world, even as the coven urges him to claim her as one of their own.
When the queen's cursed apple strikes, Snow falls into a deathlike sleep, forcing Valdric to make a choice that will change them both forever.
Together, they confront the necromancer queen in a battle of magic, blood, and vengeance. Snow rises from the conflict not as a fleeing princess, but as a force capable of reshaping the kingdom. With Valdric at her side, she embraces a destiny forged in darkness, passion, and reclaimed power.
Blood & Snow is a dark romantic fantasy reimagining of the classic tale, blending gothic atmosphere, dangerous enchantment, and the intoxicating pull of forbidden love.
Includes mature themes. Intended for adult readers. Includes exclusive artwork.
