Girls Made of Snow and Glass

Mina believes her glass heart makes her incapable of love. Becoming queen appears to offer the security she has never known, even if it also means becoming a stepmother. Years later, Princess Lynet learns that her resemblance to her dead mother is no accident: magic shaped her from snow to recreate someone else's image. Lynet admires Mina, but her father's plans place them in competition for power. Meanwhile, a connection with a young surgeon offers Lynet another way to imagine her future. Reworking the expectations surrounding Snow White, this fantasy centres the relationship between stepmother and daughter, asking whether two women cast as rivals can escape roles designed to leave only one of them standing.
