Hemlock and Silver

by T. Kingfisher
Hemlock and Silver by T. Kingfisher
Unrated

From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Hemlock & Silver, a dark reimagining of “Snow White” steeped in poison, intrigue, and treason of the most magical kind.

Healer Anja knows little of politics but much of poisons. When she is summoned to treat the mysterious illness afflicting the king’s daughter, she finds herself against the clock, desperate to track down the source of the poison killing Princess Snow. But the chance discovery of a strange alternate world inside a magic mirror leads Anja to darker discoveries, including what really happened to Snow’s dead sister, Rose, and why their mother seemingly went mad and cut out her heart.

Aided by a taciturn bodyguard, a narcissistic cat, and a late Renaissance understanding of the scientific method, Anja must navigate the mysteries of the mirror world before the dark queen that dwells within rises to threaten them all.

T. Kingfisher

T. Kingfisher, the pen name of award-winning author Ursula Vernon, is a master of blending whimsical fantasy with dark humor. Known for her unique storytelling style, T. Kingfisher writes tales that delve deep into the realms of fantasy, horror, and adventure, often with an unexpected twist of wit and sharp character-driven narratives.

Vernon’s work under the T. Kingfisher name is distinct from her children's books, bringing a more mature tone while maintaining the same vivid world-building and engaging characters that have earned her a dedicated following. Readers are often drawn to the author's ability to create worlds that are both dark and delightful, where the supernatural and the absurd blend seamlessly. Her characters, whether they are battling eldritch creatures or facing life’s mundane challenges, resonate with readers because of their flaws, humor, and resilience.

As Ursula Vernon, she has also gained recognition for her children's books, including the Hugo Award-winning Digger graphic novel series, proving her versatility as an author who can captivate readers of all ages. But as T. Kingfisher, she finds her true niche in crafting fantastical stories that challenge expectations, making her an unforgettable voice in the fantasy genre.
