Once upon a time, there were two sisters. Snow was outgoing and passionate. Rose was responsible and quiet. When their father disappears in the woods, their country estate has to be sold. The sisters and their grieving mother move to a cottage in the woods, the same woods that stole their father. Only the trees know that Snow and Rose are destined to fight the dark magic that has slowly taken hold of their home. The story that unfolds includes a boy mushroom farmer, a band of bandits, a grouchy dwarf, an unusual library, and a fierce but gentle bear. Inspired by the classic fairy tale "Snow-White and Rose-Red," Emily Winfield Martin builds a fascinating world in the woods and grounds the fantasy with the relationship of the two sisters.
