Summary

I want him to hurt. To bleed. I want him to snap, just like he snapped me.

Once upon a time, my world was small and sheltered. Everything changed the moment I stepped over my Safety Line, barrelling towards a coupling with a man I hardly know.

He wants me. All of me.

Dunked in a charged political pit, I must secure the ships needed to quell the spill of murderous beasts still flooding the continent. But one wrong move could spur the war I’ve worked so hard to avoid.

I’ll wear the dress and the cupla and the shoes. I’ll do it all with a smile on my face. Because everyone's watching.

He’s watching—hunting a fissure in my frosty shield, trying to scrape back the layers and see my ugly insides. He’s unyielding. Unguarded. Changed. Why is he looking now when I’ve got everything to hide?

Secrets sprout, truths bloom, and more than one of us will snap.

Crowned in the crippling weight of my mistakes, I must atone. Even if it costs me my life.

Fear was my overlord. Now, it’s my prisoner.

To Snap a Silver Stem is the explosive sequel of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom, a dark Rapunzel reimagining full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst.

I have no words for how much I adore this series. It’s dark, brutal (check your TW’s)—but beautiful and poignant. Can’t wait for book 3!

Absolutely breathtaking.

The continual whining of the “heroine” who is given everything but is never satisfied because it’s all about her. Disappointing. Too much reliance on unnecessary lyrical description that often doesn’t connect to real story progress.

Another whinny selfish female

More world building, more answers…more frustrating FMC—a Sarah A Parker special…even still, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will immediately be diving into book 3.

Narration is adequate considering it’s duel.

Some said this book wasn’t as good, but they’re wrong!! This was a fantastic second instalment.

Absolutely loved this book!! The characters and story is just riveting, cannot get enough. The performance by Chelsea Stephens and Troy Duran is one of my favourites! Highly recommend.

Fantastic!!
