About this listen

From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher, Hemlock & Silver is a dark reimagining of Snow White steeped in poison, intrigue and treason of the most magical kind.

Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.

Not to die, but to save - seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.

But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja's unorthodox methods can save her.

Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.

Or it might be the thing that kills them all.

'A new favourite! Masterful storytelling with creepy magic, and a fantastic cat!'
Sarah Beth Durst

'A wonderfully offbeat fantasy . . . as delightful as it is impressive'

Wonderful atmosphere. Skilful narration. Charming main character, I loved her social awkwardness and academic energy.

Excellent narration and story. Not your cliche fantasy. Loved it.

This was a neat story about a poisons expert trying to get to the bottom of Princess Snow’s poisoning. It borrows enough from the fairytale to have recognisable touch points, but it’s more original story than retelling. It takes some of the story elements and blends them with some medieval medical theories and some portal fantasy conventions.

Enjoyed this a lot
