Publisher Description
An unlikely duo. A wicked witch. Whatever it takes to find their way home.
Once upon a time...
Rhona is certain her stepmother wants to kill her and her sisters, and she'll stop at nothing to do it. Leaving them in the woods alone, drugging their food and drink...is nothing safe?
Bitter at his brother's betrothal, Grieve is banished to Rum Island as a squire to Rhona's father. Grieve thought he had enough trouble with Rhona's stepmother and the threat of war with Alba, until a witch takes Grieve and Rhona prisoner.
Can Rhona and Grieve survive long enough to find their happily ever after?

Customer Reviews
Good read
Very good quick read. It blends the traditional story of Hansel and Gretel with medieval culture to make a unique, fun, story. I received an arc and am voluntarily reviewing it.
Who saves who?
Overall rating: 4.6
This is the most unique retelling of the Hansel and Gretel fairytale. I actually enjoyed the references to the three little pigs that appeared in this book. The ability to tie together the characters from different books is greatly appealing. Of course there is no cliffhanger but I do enjoy the tie ins that appear at the conclusion which gives you something to look forward to. Enjoyed the gender role dilemmas that these characters experienced. Highly entertaining, a definite recommend!
