Northern Lights, Southern Stars (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781948464635)

Her heart might be broken, but her spirit won't be crushed.

Known as the dark-skinned princess from the Southern Colonies-formerly the kingdom of Marula-Ebony is no stranger to hardship and loneliness.

Forced into royal servitude after the death of her father, Ebony resolved to keep her head held high despite her sorrow-no matter how much vitriol she endured from her stepmother, Varyes, Queen of Pommier.

As the Queen's son, Prince Rion, helps to piece her broken heart back together with his love and kindness, Ebony begins to hope she will one day find a new home for herself. But when Queen Varyes loses the Southern Colonies to its warring neighbors, she strikes out for vengeance-and Ebony is her first target.

Can Ebony escape the savage wrath of her stepmother-even if her freedom means losing Prince Rion forever?

Northern Lights, Southern Skies is a standalone fantasy fairy tale retelling of Snow White from award-winning, genre-hopping author C. S. Johnson.
