A royal huntsman. An illegitimate daughter. And one heart-delivered on a silver platter. Max has one goal: to become the royal huntsman, just like his father before him. With his mother's noble ties and his father's influence, the path should be simple. Yet he'd rather spend his mornings trading banter with his favorite palace servant-Snow White. Orphaned, quick-witted, and gifted with the ability to sense emotions at a glance, Snow keeps her distance from Max's heart. Protecting their friendship is safer than risking what lies beneath it. But when the king is found dead, everything unravels. Snow's bloodline-and her dangerous fae gift-make her the perfect scapegoat. The queen wants her silenced. The court wants her gone. And Max? He's caught between duty, blood, and the girl he refuses to betray. Saving the kingdom might demand betrayal. Saving Snow might cost him everything. Because when the queen commands a heart, the huntsman must choose whose to deliver. If you love slow-burn tension, forbidden romance, banter, and heart-wrenching fairy tale twists, you'll adore The Poisoned Prince-a best-friends-to-lovers Snow White retelling in the Once Upon a Prince series of clean, romantic fairy tales.
