From #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a beautiful hardcover bind-up of the first two novellas in the Fairy Tale Retellings series, Mountains Made of Glass and Apples Dipped in Gold, with exclusive new art.

Once upon a time, there were seven brothers...

Mountains Made of Glass
All Gesela's life, her home village of Elk has been cursed. And it isn't a single curse—it is one after another, each to be broken by a villager. When it is Gesela's turn to save her town, she kills a toad who turns out to be an Elven prince. As punishment, the prince's brothers banish Gesela to live with their seventh brother, the one they call the beast. But rather than hold her captive, the beast offers Gesela a deal. If she can guess his true name in seven days, she can go free. Gesela agrees, but there is a hidden catch—she must speak his name with love in order to free him, too.

Apples Dipped in Gold
Orphaned at a young age, Samara has been left under the care of her horrible brothers for many years. When a handsome prince offers for her hand in marriage, she hopes her new kingdom will be her salvation, but on her way, her carriage is ambushed by Lore, the wicked Prince of Nightshade. Samara believes that Lore is punishing her for her crimes against his kind, but the truth is that the Elven Prince has pined after Samara for seven long years. His power over poisons rivals none, but Samara is a new kind of toxin in his blood. Can the Prince of Nightshade find a remedy, or will he succumb to her love?
