Há dez anos, a vingativa Rainha Ravenna assassinou o rei na mesma noite em que se casara com ele. No entanto, dominar o reino tornou-se um sofrimento para a Rainha. Para salvar seus poderes, ela deve devorar um coração puro, e Branca de Neve é a única pessoa com esse coração. A fim de capturá-la, Ravenna recorre ao Caçador, o único homem que já se aventurou pela Floresta Sombria e sobreviveu. Branca de Neve será morta pelo Caçador? Ou será treinada por ele e se tornará a melhor guerreira que o reino já conheceu?

Une réécriture haletante du célèbre conte des frères Grimm, qui en révèle toute la modernité. Dix années se sont écoulées depuis l’assassinat du roi par la reine Ravenna, splendide et vengeresse, le soir même de leurs noces. Ces dix années de mainmise sur le royaume dévasté commencent à peser sur la maléfique souveraine. Pour empêcher sa magie de disparaître et sa beauté de s’évanouir, elle doit se nourrir d’un cœur pur. Le cœur de celle qu’elle garde prisonnière dans ses geôles, la fille du roi. Blanche-Neige réussit à s’enfuir et trouve refuge dans la Forêt des Ténèbres. La reine choisit d’envoyer dans ce lieu enchanté, peuplé d’une flore magique et d’une faune dangereuse, le seul homme qui en soit sorti vivant : Eric, un chasseur torturé. Cet homme, pour qui la vie ne recèle plus aucun espoir, accepte de ramener la jeune fille. Mais face à sa proie, il hésite. La tuera-t-il ? Ou l’aidera-t-il à devenir le plus grand guerrier que le royaume ait connu ?

A breathtaking new vision of a legendary tale. Snow White is the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman who was dispatched to kill her.

Although The Alamo fell in the early morning of March 6, 1836, the death of the Alamo defenders has come to symbolize courage and sacrifice for the cause of liberty. The memories of James Bowie, Davy Crockett, and William B. Travis are as powerful today as when the Texan Army routed Santa Anna to the cry "Remember the Alamo!" This book is more than a tribute to those who fell defending the mission. It is a thoroughly researched, vividly illustrated, objective description of the circumstances building up to and leading from that stand. By using contemporary writings, this history describes the political and military organizations of both sides, the weapons and equipment available to them, and the enduringly famous personalities involved, creating a vivid picture of this dramatic battle and the period in which it was fought.
