Fairest One: A Snow White Retelling

by Kayla Eshbaugh

Overview

Welcome to the ancient land of Terra, where curses run rampant throughout all the kingdoms and where the royalty desperately attempt to break their curses and claim their own happily ever afters.

Princess Scarlet of Torren is the fairest one in all the land-only she doesn't want to be. While some may believe a curse for being beautiful isn't much of a curse at all, Scarlet knows differently. It's more sinister than anyone realizes. Scarlet grows up hiding from nobles at court to prevent them from falling victim to her curse. Defying as many royal rules as possible, Scarlet is known not only for her beauty but as a messy and odd princess. When she meets an aspiring knight, she makes him vow to never fall in love with her beauty. With his friendship, she feels like she has everything she needs-that is, until she loses it all.

Sir Ronin Dallard doesn't know when it happened, but he is in love with Princess Scarlet of Torren. His vow he made as a child to never fall in love with her beauty-he can rest assured knowing it isn't her beauty he is in love with. As the bridal tournament is called, Princess Scarlet must choose a knight to wear her token. Ronin wants to be the one to win the tournament for her. He is determined to convince Scarlet that his love is for her, not the curse.

When outside forces pull them apart, and the kingdom is under attack from the inside, will Ronin and Scarlet find a way to save Torren from a false queen? A false queen who will do all in her power to use Scarlet's curse to take over not only her kingdom but all the kingdoms in the land. Can beauty save a kingdom? Or will it destroy them all?

About the Author

Kayla Eshbaugh was born in Redondo Beach, California but was raised in a small city in Northern California called Roseville. Being the daughter of an English teacher and creative writer, creativity and writing are in her blood.

She has been writing since she was young, and she has dozens of notebooks and paper to prove it. In high school, she decided to do her senior research paper on the publishing process and decided to study English in college with the goal of publishing her own books one day.

She has often been told that her own real-life love story sounds a lot like a romance novel. At the age of sixteen, her future husband told her that they would get married someday, and–spoiler alert–they did! Because of her personal experience, she is a firm believer that you can find true and lasting love while still in your teens, which is why she loves writing in the young adult genre.

Kayla currently resides with her husband of fourteen years and their two sons in Pasadena, California. She often shares story ideas with her two sons around the dinner table, writes scene ideas on her phone, types away at her next book in her office, and watches true crime documentaries with her husband, even though she is often afraid of the dark, afterwards. She also reads novels during any spare time she has, even if it is late at night after her kids go to sleep. She loves the beach and gets her best ideas for stories while she is at the beach or when she is camping in her favorite spots.

She loves happily-ever-afters, along with a bit of magic, which is the reason that in her stories, you can be assured to find both!
