A proposito di questo titolo
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Hemlock & Silver, a dark reimagining of “Snow White” steeped in poison, intrigue, and treason of the most magical kind
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. 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.
"Pickens adjusts her approach appropriately for several characters...[Anja's] enthusiasm and wonder are delightfully narrated, and so too is her horror as she learns the truth about the alternate realm and its creatures." — AudioFile
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books
Recensioni della critica
Praise for Hemlock & Silver:
"A new favorite! Hemlock & Silver achieves the extraordinary feat of feeling both classic and unique. Masterful storytelling with an unforgettable heroine, creepy magic, and a fantastic cat! I almost wish I hadn't read it so I could read it again for the first time!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
"Eerie and aching, I've loved everything that Kingfisher has written but this might be my favorite."—Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth
"A darkly enchanting tale of poison and power. Beautifully crafted and utterly spellbinding."—Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night
"Hemlock & Silver is T. Kingfisher at her best—clever, romantic, and a hell of a good time."—Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
"This is T. Kingfisher at her finest. Continuing in her tradition of horror-tinged, fairytale-inspired storytelling, Kingfisher pairs a wonderfully offbeat fantasy narrative with her signature wit, which compares favourably with the likes of Terry Pratchett. It's impossible not to root for our clever, unapologetically bumbling protagonist, Healer Anja. Hemlock & Silver is as delightful as it is impressive."—Heather Fawcett, New York Times bestselling author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies
"Utterly delightful… Kingfisher wows."—Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW

"A wonderful entwining of darkness & whimsy."—Travis Baldree, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Legends & Lattes
"Refreshing. . . . a true comfort read, in which gentleness endures despite outrageous cruelty.”—The Washington Post
