Beguiled, by Jody Hedlund, tells the fairy tale of Snow White with a new twist. In this re-telling, Princess Pearl is not running away from her wicked stepmother, but rather from her own mother. When Queen Margery sends her daughter on a hunting expedition, Pearl escapes sure death and and flees to the Isle of Outcasts!
The island is filled with people not accepted by polite society; however, these individuals become dear friends to Pearl. Prince Mikkel of Scania is also on the Isle, as he is attempting to fulfill his testing to possibly become the next King of Scania. To complete his testing, Mikkel's focus must be on the thought: To Look on the Heart!
When Mikkel is captured by Pearl's tribe, before he knows it, he finds himself married to Pearl. Now Mikkel has more to focus on than just his testing. His wife, Pearl, still needs protection from her mother, who is still seeking her death!
You will see God work on both Pearl and Mikkel's hearts by the time you reach the final page!
