Grimhilde

Grimhilde: A dark fantasy retelling of magic, betrayal, and a queen's redemption

The Evil Queen fell. Broken on the rocks below, she should have died, but death never came.

Dragged from the cliffs by black-winged vultures, Grimhilde awakens to find her beauty twisted into talons and feathers. Prisoner aboard a flying ship bound for Colchis-the harpies' realm of shadows-she faces a choice: bow to their cruel queen or be destroyed.

Grimhilde chooses defiance.

To overthrow the tyrant, she must survive brutal trials, master powers she never wanted, and rally the oppressed harpies who see her as their only hope. But her victory is short-lived. Betrayal sends her into the frozen prison of the Ice King, where even gods fear to tread.

When Hermes-the swift-footed trickster-arrives to save her, he doesn't expect to lose his heart to the woman the world calls a monster. But Grimhilde's redemption will take more than a god's love. It will take courage, sacrifice, and a fight to reclaim not just her kingdom... but her humanity.

This isn't Snow White's story.
This is the one that came after-the tale of the villainess who refused to die.
