Dark Fairytales Series — Book Two
A Dark Snow White Romance
"She was his most beautiful acquisition. Then she woke up."
They told her the prince saved her with a kiss. They lied. The man who removed the poisoned apple from her lips was no prince — he was a collector, and she was the most exquisite piece he had ever found.
Mira Voss wakes in a glass room in a stranger's estate with no memory of how she got there and a man standing over her who looks at her like she belongs to him. Because in his mind, she does.
He is cold. Controlled. Impossibly beautiful. He tells her she was dying when he found her, that he saved her, that she is safe.
He does not tell her about the others.
The longer Mira stays, the more she begins to understand the estate's dark symmetry — the locked gallery, the seven silent men who serve him, the way he watches her as though she might shatter if he looks away. She should run. She should be afraid.
Instead, she starts asking questions. And the answers are worse and better than anything she imagined.
Some women are kept in glass. Others learn to make the glass their own.

The Monster Is Real
These heroes are not secretly good men wearing darkness as a mask. Their darkness is genuine. What changes is the heroine's relationship to that truth.
The Heroine Always Chooses
Every book ends with the heroine making a fully informed decision — seduced, captivated, even manipulated along the way — but the final choice is always hers.
The Fairytale Is a Lie
Each retelling asks what the sanitized version was covering up. The real story is always darker, more human, and more honest.
The HEA Earns Its Shadows
The happiness is real. So are the shadows that will always be part of it. You'll finish these books satisfied and unsettled — that's the Blackwood signature.

Mystery Release✦ The Author ✦
"She writes dark romance for readers who want a villain on the page and a key in their hand."
Vivienne Blackwood writes dark romance for readers who want a villain on the page and a key in their hand.
She is drawn to gothic interiors, locked rooms, morally gray men, and the women who refuse to be afraid of either. Her stories are told in close first person, often by women who know exactly what they are doing.
She lives somewhere old, with too many books and a small garden she keeps badly. She believes in content warnings, complicated endings, and writing the scene the reader is afraid she won't.
The Crimson Key and The Glass Coffin — Books One and Two of the Dark Fairytales series — are both available now. Stay close. The locked doors are just beginning.
