Description

Book 1 of the Shattered Crowns series by Cordelia Cross This is a dark romantasy fairy tale retelling containing explicit scenes, a Why Choose dynamic, and themes of power exchange. THE MIRROR LIED. The Queen doesn't just want to be the fairest; she’ll kill to keep the title. Princess Shay has spent her life mastering the art of invisibility, but silence can no longer save her. Marked for death and hunted by a man who never misses, Shay flees into the deep woods. But she finds no prince charming. Instead, she finds the mines and the six hardened outcasts who rule the dark beneath the earth. These men are not heroes. They are rough, possessive, and starving for a touch they haven’t felt in years. To buy her sanctuary, Shay strikes a devil’s bargain: her submission in exchange for their protection. It was supposed to be a transaction—a cold, calculated surrender to ensure her survival. But as the agreement binds her to Dax, Gage, Bennett, and the others, Shay discovers a dark hunger she never knew she possessed. In the shadows of a mirror, she isn’t just a princess to be protected. She is a prize to be shared, claimed, and corrupted. With the Queen’s magic closing in and Hunter on her trail, Shay must decide who she truly is. Because in a kingdom built on Glass and Sin , the only thing more dangerous than being hunted... is wanting to be caught. Forget the poison apple—in this shattered retelling, the true danger is the temptation to stay. Glass & Sin features an interactive, "choose your own" epilogue. Will you choose the path of redemption, or will you surrender to the darkness? You decide how Snow’s story ends. Cordelia Cross wears all the hats.
