From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher, Hemlock & Silver is a dark reimagining of Snow White steeped in poison, intrigue and treason of the most magical kind.

'A new favourite! Masterful storytelling with creepy magic, and a fantastic cat!'
- Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop

Featuring custom endpapers illustrated by the author!

Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.

Not to die, but to save - seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.

But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja's unorthodox methods can save her.

Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow - but nothing seems to work. Nothing, that is, until she finds a secret world hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.

Or it might be the thing that kills them all . . .

'A wonderfully offbeat fantasy . . . as delightful as it is impressive'
- Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries
