Poisoned Heart: A Retelling of Snow White

The Emerald Realm, Book 1

By: Abigail Manning

Narrated by: Andy Garcia-Ruse

Princess Arabella is truly the fairest in all the land, and she knows it. With her pretty face, elaborate ball gowns, and glorious castle, she truly lives the perfect royal life. That is, until she is forced out of her home by a mysterious assassin.

With only the clothes on her back and the tiara on her head, Arabella flees from her castle in the dead of winter. As a last resort for shelter, Arabella takes up work in a laundry mill with seven other women. The once adored princess is now subjected to sleeping in piles of dirty laundry, but at least she is hidden. Well, she hopes so….

In the midst of her deadly game of hide-and-seek, she discovers that her kingdom is endangered by her absence. With the help of a dashing captain, a quirky noble, and her seven new companions, she must protect both her life and her kingdom. Will Arabella learn what true beauty is as she navigates her new life as a nameless commoner? While evil builds and secrets unfold, there may be more than her heart that’s poisoned.

10/10! 5⭐️

I didn’t love the accents but I’m also not used to it. :) but the story 10/10, characters 10/10, this was first book from Abigail manning and I’m excited for the next!

Refreshing

I found myself looking for the similarities b/w this book and Snow White. It’s a very creative Re-telling that is enjoyable throughout.

Definitely Recommend!

Well read and well written! This book will keep you engaged in the story and you won’t want to put it down. I’ve never been into romance books before, but this might have converted me. Definitely recommend.

At Last!

I've been waiting for Abigail to release on Audible! I've already read the book but hearing the story again has been really fun.

Fantastic story from a new author

This is a fun and exciting twist on an old story. From the narrator, to the characters, to the story itself, I found myself unable to stop listening once I started. The main character is mischievous and clever yet young and foolhardy and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t figure out where the story was taking her next. If you are wanting a funny, new, and entertaining fantasy, then this should be your next listen.
