While Snow White is more sensible than many fairy tale heroines, managing to make a new home for herself with her work ethic and housekeeping skills, she is also very naïve, instantly trusting groups of men in the woods and mysterious old ladies. This was a challenge for me, as I’ve never been a huge fan of this particular fairy tale. Obviously, Rooglewood’s Five Poisoned Apples contest was a big factor, because I had to write a Snow White story. I’m never short of inspiration, just short of time to write things down! What inspired Overpowered ? A lot of different things. Now, without further ado, Kathryn herself on the inspiration of this fantastic historical fantasy!

There may not be much time for Taliyah to find the answers, for war is about to ignite in the hills. What are those strange tracks around the ruined houses? Why is Yotam so calm in the face of battle? Where are the rest of Cypress’ men? And who is the Avenger? But when a battle goes horribly wrong, each man must decide whether he fights for gold, for fame, or for something yet more rare…ĭisguised as a boy, Taliyah finds the outlaw life to be full of more questions than answers.

Endangered by a perilous secret, he soon finds himself among men with secrets of their own-in a place where trusting others may be his most serious mistake… or his best defense.Ĭypress and his band have been mercenaries for a long time. Yotam bin Yerubba’la has left his home, his only guide a cryptic dream. Even losing herself in the mist-haunted hills cannot protect her for long.
