The Before Series 2
(2026)(A book in the The Before . . . Fairy Tale series)
An omnibus of novels by Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple
Three gothic-styled fairy tale villain romantasy retellings in one book!
Before the Emerald Crown: Those stones were all that remained of my house.That and ash.
In a time nearly ancient, before a brave Scottish princess defied her mother, a young woman has lost everything.
Except for her unexplainable talent for magic.
Actions have repercussions -- Magda knows this better than anyone else -- and with her magic, she will ensure everyone else learns that lesson as well.
Before the Red Cloak: Not all wolves hide under sheep's clothing. We all know what happened to Red Riding Hood.
But what happened before she had her red cloak? Villains aren't born. Sometimes, we create them.
Lies, sometimes, can save us. But Marcel and his followers are not the only dangers in our village, and when Marcel, Lucien, and the wolves converge over me, only one can be left standing. And all I want is my future with Lucien.
Before the Queen of Hearts: Betrayal never smelled so sweet . . . Or hurt a queen so deeply. Margot Hearth is the only daughter of the King of Mournstead Sands, and the sole heir. After a devastating loss and her time comes to take the throne, she learns queens in games have all the power, after all. Finally she has hope that the madness gripping her kingdom will subside once this betrothal is made.
But madness is a tricky thing. Nothing is as it seems. And not everyone is as loyal as Margot, the Queen of Hearts, would believe.
Something different by Michelle Deerwester-Dalrymple. Meet the villains in your favorite fairy tales! A romantic fantasy fairy tale retelling series full of love, a little magic, witches, a strong sense of history, and powerful characters that we fall in love with, only to hate later on. Not steamy or with HEA endings and not cliffhangers, this standalone romantasy book series paints the fairy tale characters in a new light!
Genre: Fantasy
