In A Spindle Splintered, it's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday. When she was young, an industrial accident left her with a rare condition, and no one who has it has lived to twenty-two.

Her best friend is intent on making Zin's last birthday special with a full Sleeping Beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, she finds herself cast into another world, with another Sleeping Beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.

Then, in A Mirror Mended, Zinnia discovers there's more than one person trapped in a story they didn't choose. Snow White's Evil Queen has found out how her story ends and she's desperate for a rewrite. Will Zinnia accept the Queen's poisonous request for a rewrite and save them both from the hot iron shoes that wait for them? Or will she try another path?
