NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES - This gripping novel examines the life of one of Disney's cruelest villains: the Evil Queen. Queen. She should be happy, but something about the mirror she was holding filled her with a horrid sense of dread that she could not account for... For anyone who's seen Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, you'll know that the Evil Queen is one wicked woman! After all, it's not everyone who wants to cut out their teenage step-daughter's heart and have it delivered back in a locked keepsake box (and even if this sort of thing is a common urge, we don't know many people who have acted upon it.)Now, for the first time, we'll examine the life of the Evil Queen and find out just what it is that makes her so nasty. Here's a hint: the creepy-looking figure in the magic mirror is not just some random spooky visage―and he just might have something to do with the Evil Queen's wicked ways!
