About this listen
“Implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness, and a good working knowledge of fairy tales.”—Katherine Arden, bestselling author of the Winternight trilogy, on A Spindle Splintered
Follow professional fairy-tale fixer Zinnia Gray as she helps women get the endings they deserve! First, Sleeping Beauty in A Spindle Splintered, fractured and reimagined. And then, Snow White's Evil Queen in A Mirror Mended!
In A Spindle Splintered, it's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday. When she was young, an industrial accident left her with a rare condition and no one who has it has lived to twenty-two.
Her best friend is intent on making Zin's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, she finds herself cast into another world, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.
Then, in A Mirror Mended, Zinnia discovers there’s more than one person trapped in a story they didn’t choose. Snow White's Evil Queen has found out how her story ends and she's desperate for a rewrite. Will Zinnia accept the queen's poisonous request for a rewrite and save them both from the hot iron shoes that wait for them? Or will she try another path?

“A vivid, subversive, and feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, where implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness, and a good working knowledge of fairy tales.”—Katherine Arden, bestselling author of the Winternight trilogy, on A Spindle Splintered
“It's funny, sharp, queer, and deeply loves its source material...This novella pushes against the hopelessness of inevitability; it dares us to believe in sympathetic magic; it tells us we're connected through story. It might dent your heart a little, but it's good fun.”—NPR, on A Spindle Splintered
“A lively, engaging fairy-tale retelling perfect for devouring in a single sitting.”—Kirkus Reviews, on A Mirror Mended
