Crown of Beauty and Anarchy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069554208)

She is meant for beauty. He is meant for destiny. The Queen is meant to be an Empress. But who will bear the crown of Whiteshire?

A stirring tale of anarchy, love, and redemption inspired by the classic fairy tale Snow White and the dangerous court of Queen Matilda from the 12th century-perfect for readers of Crimson Bound, Girls made of Snow and Glass, or Snow & Poison, and fans of novels by Melanie Dickerson and Melanie Cellier.

Princess Eira White has only ever wanted to know and feel the love of a mother and the protection of her father. Instead, she's had to endure the harsh hand of her step-mother, Queen Amara, who seems bent on openly despising Eira and sheltering her away from the duties of one day becoming queen of Whiteshire.

Suddenly, Eira is thrust out of her kingdom by her father with only his signet ring and her book of prayers in hand. Left to experience the dangers of life outside the safety of her castle walls, Eira begins to hear rumours of her father's death. Not sure if it's true, Eira grieves both the possibility of her soon-to-be heirdom and the potential lose of her Papa.

When Eira's life is actively threatened, she has to face the decision to fight as the only heir of her kingdom or flee everything she knows. The decision comes at a great cost as Eira is hiding a secret. One that could jeopardize the fate of her Kingdom if she chooses to fight. A secret she was told when she was young and can't remember.

Will Princess Eira be able to remember the secret in time to stop the wicked queen from turning her kingdom into complete anarchy? Or, will she end up dividing her father's kingdom further and failing her family's legacy for good?
