Poison

The third book in the Tales of the Kingdoms series by Sarah Pinborough, Poison, is a vivid interpretation of the story of Snow White, combining elements of a classic fairy tale with a modern vision of the characters' characters, their motives and worldviews.

Queen Lilith has everything a woman could want: power, youth and beauty. But she is unhappy in her marriage to a cruel king. She is tormented by the fact that she lives in the shadow of her stepdaughter. Snow White in this version of the fairy tale is not at all a gentle princess, but a wayward girl who does not want to marry and accepts her own sexuality. She is kind and generous, uninhibited, which does not meet the expectations of society. And she pays a high price for the freedom of her sensuality.
