The Frost Gate
Mirror mirror made of gold,
Here's the story you were never told . . .
I've always suspected some sort of mystery surrounding my adoption—I mean, who doesn't remember anything before they were five? But the tall, dark, axe-wielding fae huntsman showing up at my door yelling that I'm a lost princess and the Unseelie Queen is coming to kill me? That I didn't see coming.
It's hard to argue with a pack of evil wolves on your doorstep, so I grab my sword, my cookbook, and my seven chickens (yes, you heard me right), and follow him to Faerie. I'm all for not being eaten by wolves. I'm less excited about the fact that the huntsman seems to think I'm the only one who can defeat the Unseelie Queen and save Faerie. I'm not powerful or magical, even if my baking skills are legendary.
But the longer I stay in Faerie, the more I want to help its people. And the more time I spend with the terrifyingly handsome huntsman, the more I want to convince him that he's who I need by my side while I do. He'd do anything to protect me, but it's my heart he's putting in danger.
Do I have what it takes to go from baking pies to saving kingdoms? Who will take care of the chickens if I fail?
This sweet and cozy retelling of Snow White is a stand-alone novel in the Faerie Tale Romances series.

Cozy Pairings
Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.
Why we chose this: Beauty and the Beast, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Snow White, each retold in a fae world full of curses, Unseelie queens, charming princes, and heroines who are considerably more capable than the original stories suggested. Witches Brew carries the earthy, ancient magic of fairy tales retold in places where the old enchantments are still very much alive, the scent of forests that have been old for a very long time and castles where the curses have been waiting for exactly the right person to arrive. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the grounding warmth of patchouli and violet fill the room like a fae realm at twilight, where the old stories are still being written and the endings are yours to discover.
