The Selection is a lie. The five girls chosen each year do not vanish into a life of royal luxury, as most believe. Snow knows this because she knows her aunt Lyric—the Witch-Queen of Cresilea—murderess and usurper.
When the Selection comes to the remote village where Snow has hidden since her father’s murder, she puts herself forward, trusting in her scarred face to hide her identity, and enters the castle she fled seven years ago—a place now haunted by unnatural whispers and eerie shadows.
But more is at stake than Snow’s revenge, or even the fates of five girls, and she must learn all she can about Lyric’s magic—and her own—before it’s too late.
Snow White and her sister, Rose Red, grew up as princesses. When their mother died, their father married their aunt Lyric, only to die at her hand at the wedding feast. In the confusion Snow was whisked away by the guard captain, who burned her face to keep her unrecognisable. Her aunt claimed the throne, called her father's death an assassination and annexed a neighbouring country in revenge. Snow and the captain have lived quietly for seven years, hiding from Lyric's men. Snow has always assumed that Rose is dead.
