Forsaken Fairy Tales

“Once upon a time, two sisters held the fate of a kingdom in their hands. One chose the light. One chose the shadows. Both were destined to fall.”

Avalora was a land of promise, its rivers golden, its orchards heavy with sweet fruit, its princesses the pride of the realm.

But desperation is a hungry thing. It gnaws at the bones of kings and queens alike.

When famine gripped Avalora in its dying breath, Snow White, the fairest of them all, turned to forbidden magic, and the magic answered. Not with mercy. Not with hope. But with hunger.

She made a promise sealed in blood, a promise meant to save her people. Instead, she damned them.

Now, the Snow White they loved is no more.

Only a beautiful shell remains, weaving lies sweet enough to kill, binding the hearts of the innocent to her will, and feeding on their devotion like wine.

Estrilda, her sister, now wears the crown, but she bears another, heavier burden: the memory of the girl Snow used to be… and the grim duty to stop what she has become.

Her path is paved in ash, betrayal, and the echo of a promise whispered long ago: “No matter what happens, we’ll face it together.”

But in a land where memory lies and loyalty devours, even love can be a weapon. And some betrayals leave scars so deep, even the crown cannot hide them.

Queen Estrilda, the sister left behind, must choose between saving Avalora and saving the last fragile pieces of the girl she once adored.

The forests whisper her name. The mirrors mourn her choices. And with every step toward her sister, Estrilda must wonder:

When the one you love is the darkness… what does that make you?
