They called her Egg Girl.
They forgot her name.
But the forest remembers.
On the edge of a village that fears her, Asha Winter survives in silence. She sells eggs, buries her grief, and avoids the woods that whisper too loudly. Until the day the prince knocks on her door, takes what was not his to take, and leaves her shattered.
But this is not the story they will tell about her.
This is the one she takes back.
Swept into a world of forgotten magic and ancestral fire, Asha is reborn, not with a kiss, but in blood and bone. The forest calls her name. The dead pass her memories. And the flames begin to rise.
What follows is not a fairytale.
It is a reckoning.
Dark, feminist, and fiercely poetic, Apple in Her Mouth is a reimagining of Snow White unlike any you've read, haunted by trauma, steeped in myth, and lit with a fire that does not forgive.
This novel contains mature themes including sexual violence, emotional trauma, and generational grief. Intended for adult readers seeking empowerment, not escapism.
