In this retelling of the classic German fairytale Hansel & Gretel, Keuser has melded magic, clockpunk, and romance to create a story that expands on the themes of the original version while adapting it into a romance between two emotionally powerful women.

But there is one person she can’t leave behind—the woman she’s come to love.Gretel has slaved in silent indignation for her mother’s business from the day she learned how to darn a sock, but when her mother suddenly remarries and plans to hand her off to the village’s local mob boss, she can’t remain obedient anymore. She won’t marry anyone but Hazel. Together, they flee in the night. When a search party closes in, they risk everything and plunge into an enchanted wood, where the dangers only multiply. Neither knows if they’ll survive the witch who’s stolen a fairy’s powers or a clockwork beast that could devour them whole.

The most divergent of Keuser’s retellings, Snow on the Sea explores a version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves that subverts the traditional tale. This retelling explores the story from a completely different angle and features characters from book one of the series. Heather Marchant is dying. Not fast enough, it would seem, for her aunt. When she wakes up to find an undertaker measuring her for her coffin, she knows she must flee or lose what little time she has left. Finding passage to another land is easy. Getting the powders she needs to treat the lung ailment that killed her mother is less so.

A prince running from a kingdom of ice and snow, Xinjuan Sendi has nurtured a reputation in the foreign land she now calls home.
