Welcome to the first day of the tour for Broken Mirrors, a collection of stories featuring retellings of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairytale, “The Snow Queen”! To kick off the tour, let’s take a look at Snowfield Palace, a blend of “The Snow Queen” with Jane Austen’s novel Mansfield Park…

The Austen Fairy Tale #4
Ginny doesn’t belong in Snowfield Palace, but she has nowhere else to go. An old promise between her mother and Lady Bethim keeps her off the streets when she’s left alone in the world, and she’s eternally grateful for the home – and the friendship of Kaimund, Lady Bethim’s son. She makes herself useful however possible and life is quiet. Until the far-too-charming Prince Hans and his sister Maia visit and send her world spinning. A shattered mirror is nothing to laugh about, and a new, dark magic could destroy everything.
