For Such a Time as This: Snow White Reimagined (Fairytales Reimagined)

By Heather L.L. FitzGerald

Queen Vashti the Fair is not only the wife of King Xerxes, she is also--secretly--an enchantress. But thanks to Haman's flirting she now has a new distinction: deposed. While Vashti loses perks like her holographic trousseau, Haman continues to enjoy his position as second in command, much to Vashti's vexation.Mordecai was once a soldier in the king's private guard, but has since carved out a self-sufficient life for himself and niece Esther. Although citizens are required to have an identity chip for governmental transactions, he and Esther live off the grid and out of big-government's greedy reach. Or so he thought.When Mordecai's old nemesis, Haman, turns up demanding Esther's participation in the king's upcoming beauty pageant, Mordecai arranges to have her transported to the Vale of Seven Dragons for protection. But not before Esther's charm makes her a target on Vashti's radar, as Vashti seeks to undermine the outcome of Xerxes' hunt for a new queen.Esther is caught between loyalty to her uncle and fear for her future--whether in the care of dragons or in the palace of the king. Will she be brave enough to embrace her destiny, wherever that may be?
