Fragments: An Evil Queen origin & Snow White retelling

EVIL IS THE CHILD OF TRAGEDY.
As a witch, Glinda finds solace in the forest with her lover and the dwarves, cherishing a life of tranquility.
However, her peace is destroyed when soldiers from a neighboring kingdom invade, killing her beloved and shattering her world.
Consumed by grief and rage, Glinda succumbs to the allure of dark magic. She accepts the enemy king’s offer to return to his castle, swearing vengeance upon all who have wronged her.
Yet, her vengeful resolve falters as fate places an unexpected burden upon her shoulders: the care of Snow White, an innocent infant princess.
Haunted by enemies lurking in the shadows, Glinda grapples with her tumultuous emotions, knowing that one misstep could lead to her demise.
Drawing inspiration from the Grimms fairy tale Snow White, this gut-wrenching origin story of the Evil Queen offers a dark and bittersweet twist, perfect for readers who crave spellbinding fairytale retellings.

After failing to cultivate Thana’s power for his benefit, the king locks her up for fear of the curse of death befalling them all.
When Thana comes of age, the king marries her off to a neighboring kingdom, hoping to incite the neighbor’s doom.
But death listens to no one.

Under The Waves: A grim fairy tale

THE OCEAN IS A TRICKSTER.

Hush and retire ’fore her
Luring tune calls out to you

Like many explorers, young Jacob boards a ship to the New World, hoping to find gold and claim a land of his own.
“The ocean is a trickster, and the moon its shady mistress.” When warned of the ocean’s trickery, Jacob scoffs and pays no heed.
Until he sees a glimpse of a woman in the dark waters.
Jacob blames the bizzarre sight to his tipsiness. After all, sirens are just foolish tales.
But the woman’s ghostly, pupiless eyes are too vivid to be a mere illusion. They call out to him like fire does a moth. As the voyage continues, the woman in the water haunts Jacob night after night.
Is the ocean truly nothing but treachery? Will Jacob make it to the New World safely?
