everyone, they love—and this time, it comes from within.

Princess Snow is missing.
Her
home planet is filled with violence and corruption at the hands of King
Matthias and his wife as they attempt to punish her captors. The king
will stop at nothing to get his beloved daughter back—but that’s
assuming she wants to return at all.
Essie has grown used to
being cold. Temperatures on the planet Thanda are always sub-zero, and
she fills her days with coding and repairs for the seven loyal drones
that run the local mines.
When a mysterious young man named Dane
crash-lands near her home, Essie agrees to help the pilot repair his
ship. But soon she realizes that Dane’s arrival was far from accidental,
and she’s pulled into the heart of a war she’s risked everything to
avoid. With the galaxy’s future—and her own—in jeopardy, Essie must
choose who to trust in a fiery fight for survival.

What would happen if an
author went back to the darker themes of the original fairy tales for
his plots, and then crossed the Disney princesses with "Charlie's
Angels?" Hines delivers a new take on what happened to Cinderella and
her prince after the wedding. Original.
You know how
all those old fairy tales take you through lots of scary adventures till
you finally reach that inevitable line: "And they lived happily ever
after..." Guess what? It's not true. Life in never-never land isn't all
sweetness and light. Cinderella - whose real name is Danielle Whiteshore
(nee Danielle de Glas) - does marry Prince Armand. And (if you can
ignore the pigeon incident) their wedding is a dream-come-true.
But
not long after the "happily ever after," Danielle is attacked by her
stepsister Charlotte, who suddenly has all sorts of magic to call upon.
And though Talia - otherwise known as Sleeping Beauty - comes to the
rescue (she's a martial arts master, and all those fairy blessings make
her almost unbeatable), Charlotte gets away.
That's when Danielle
discovers a number of disturbing facts: Armand has been kidnapped and
taken to the realm of the Fairies; Danielle is pregnant with his child;
and the Queen has her very own Secret Service that consists of Talia and
Snow (White, of course). Snow is an expert at mirror magic and
heavy-duty flirting.
Can three princesses track down Armand and
extract both the prince and themselves from the clutches of some of
fantasyland's most nefarious villains?
