In this tragic tale of love and loss, the untold story of the Wicked Queen is revealed in a bold new format. The tale of the young princess and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known–the Queen was jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen’s attempt on the sweet, naive girl’s life.

But what caused the Queen to become so, well, wicked? Perhaps the Queen hated her stepdaughter for her resemblance to the King’s first wife. Perhaps she resented the girl for her beauty. Could the Queen simply have been born that cruel? Or does it have to do with a mysterious mirror, gifted to her upon her wedding and swirling with dark magic?

And who is the man in the mirror? Is he the reason for the Queen’s downfall?
