Snow White and Sleeping Beauty

By Kathleen Murphey

When Snow White flees into the dangerous woods to escape the bloodlust of her murderous queen, she has no idea how much her life will change. Her flight ends when she stumbles upon a cottage deep in the heart of the woods, never suspecting the door to love and freedom will soon open to her.

Aurora -- nicknamed Sleeping Beauty -- has escaped marriage to the man she's betrothed to, with the help of her aunts. Having only the aunts for company, she soon starts feeling lonely, and longs for company her own age.

When the two girls meet and fall in love, will their tender relationship bloom and last, or will it fade under the constant threat of the queen's dark magic? If they make a final stand against the queen, will they live to tell their tale?
