Anja is better with poisons than people. So much so that she occasionally snorts venom for the purposes of research. But when the king’s daughter comes down with a mysterious illness, he enlists Anja as a last resort. With the aid of a disgruntled bodyguard, a talking cat, and a remarkably resilient rooster, Anja must untangle the mystery and save the kingdom from treason not only in this world – but the one lurking behind the mirror. A creepy, funny, and highly original take on Snow White!
