Hemlock & Silver

DELUXE EDITION—a gorgeous hardcover edition featuring bright green sprayed edges, a foil stamp on the casing, and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.

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.

Audiobook review. This was my first T Kingfisher novel but it won’t be my last. I absolutely loved this story. It felt like a mix of Snow White and Alice in Wonderland. The world building was well done with very unique creative elements that really enhanced the experience. The characters were fleshed out incredibly well with distinct personalities and motivations that supported the plot’s forward movement. The plot itself was mysterious and engaging. Different from anything I’ve read before in the very best ways. Some parts were a bit on the predictable side but the overall experience was just so good that it doesn’t even matter. I would love to read more stories involving the characters brought to life in this book. Jennifer Pickens’ performance on the audio brought everything together and made it feel like an immersive experience. Complementary copy received and voluntarily reviewed.
