The Gilded Mirror by K E Barden

Once Upon a Time meets Grimms dark fairytales in this tale about vengeance, curses and love.

Eveline Rafter has a gift. Not only can she hit every target with her twin golden knives, but she can find lost things.

When Princess Snowfall of Bellatorre goes missing, Eveline is hired by the mysterious Huntsman to find her. With enough medallions to ransom a king, she knows she can't resist.

But when she's thrust into a power game with old and terrifying magic, Eveline can't ignore the brewing unrest, or the shadows, or the secrets fighting to break free. When her dark past begins to catch up with her, Eveline begins to question the one thing she trusted most: Herself.

Confused by her desires for the Huntsman, Eveline tries to navigate her curse, her fate and her friendships. But with a bloodthirsty Queen out to eat their hearts, Eveline and her companions soon find that not all stories have a happily ever after.

Set against the dark forests of old fairy tales, in a kingdom ruled by an evil queen who consumes hearts for their youth and power, The Gilded Mirror is a YA dark retelling of the original Grimm's fairytales.
