โฆ Synopsis
A princess without legitimacy. A conqueror without a heart. One chance to save the people she cares about.
No one cares about Princess Elizabeth. Her surly fellow nobles question her claim to the crown. Without a real apple to be found, she may only eat candy fruits that rot her teeth. And her parents offer her only saccharine pep talks.
The mysterious Goblin Market calls out to her and she is faced with an unwholesome bargain with its dark Goblin Queen.
The Nutcracker King is coming, accompanied by his tin soldier army. Elizabeth doesn't know the limits of the tyrant's ambitions for her kingdom - and maybe herself - but she knows she'll do anything to protect her people, her claim to the throne and her father's very life.
If you like dark -- and even depraved -- fairy tale retellings, then you'll love the latest installment in Eustacia Tan's Coming from Darkness series.
