The Eighth Dwarf by R.A. Goli, a dark Snow White prequel where the would-be queen harbors lethal secrets, and one dwarf dares to challenge Fate.
A twisted fairytale of ambition, betrayal, and dark magic.
Everyone is familiar with Snow White's story. What about the story of the dwarf who helped make her stepmother queen?
Tiberius is no hero. Rather, a curmudgeonly blacksmith with lofty aspirations, a tongue sharper than his chisel, and no tolerance for his seven roommates' chirpy, sing-song lifestyles. Hi ho, hell no.
So when a witch offers him power, wealth, and a chance to live like a king in return for crafting an unbreakable coffin? He’s in. No questions asked. (He probably should have asked at least one or two.)
The catch? Now he’s the unwitting participant in the queen’s murder. Nothing works out as planned, and now he’s stuck with royal secrets and a vindictive sorcerer whose dark magic could end him if he makes one wrong move. Tiberius merely attempts to keep his head; the queen won't remain dead, and the king demands answers.
The Eighth Dwarf is a twisted, humorous, and wickedly entertaining retelling of a dark fairy tale where there are fatal consequences for ambition, no one is innocent, and a happily-ever-after comes with a death toll.
Perfect for fans of The Witcher, Once Upon A Time, and Game of Thrones.
