In a land where being the fairest maiden is a curse . . .

A princess rejected and hunted by her mother, and a prince who lives as a shunned outcast.

Princess Pearl flees for her life after her mother, Queen Margery, tries to have her killed during a hunting expedition. Pearl finds refuge on the Isle of Outcasts among criminals and misfits, disguising her face with a veil so no one recognizes her. She lives for the day when she can return to Warwick and rescue her sister, Ruby, from the queen’s clutches.

Amidst his royal testing on the Isle of Outcasts, Prince Mikkel of Scania has kept his identity a secret. Captured by a warring band of outcasts and condemned to die, he finds himself making friends with an intriguing but feisty young veiled woman. Intending to win her trust and gain her help to escape, he soon finds himself coerced to wed her.

Mikkel reluctantly agrees to the union to save his life, and Pearl hopes the marriage will provide protection for her and Ruby. But the queen is more determined to kill her daughter than either Pearl or Mikkel realizes and has a sinister reason neither expects—one that could rip their new love apart forever.

The real Snow White story.

Jody lives in central Michigan with her husband, five busy children, and five spoiled cats. Although Jody prefers to experience daring and dangerous adventures through her characters rather than in real life, she's learned that a calm existence is simply not meant to be (at least in this phase of her life!). When she's not penning another of her page-turning stories, she loves to spend her time reading, especially when it also involves consuming coffee and chocolate.

4.0 out of 5 stars An action packed take on Snow White
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020

Jody Hedlund always captivates me with her YA fantasy novels and Beguiled was no exception! Princess Pearl and Prince Mikkel give a fresh face to the tale of Snow White and this story had everything I could ask for: a fairy tale retelling, a marriage of convenience and a lake monster. Pearl sought refuge among the outcasts of society after her mother tried to have her killed. Despite the danger, she knows she must return to Warwick soon to rescue her sister. Mikkel simply wants to finish his testing and prove he is the right king for the kingdom of Scania. He just can’t figure out the lesson he’s meant to learn.

Pearl and Mikkel’s story picks up where Gabriella and Vilmar’s left off with and promises to carry through into Besotted. I am so looking forward to the converging of the three storylines and the final confrontation with Queen Margery. I wholeheartedly recommend Hedlund’s Fairest Maidens series! If you enjoy fairy tale retellings and medieval romance or are a fan of Mellanie Cellier or Melanie Dickerson, this is the series for you.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021

I loved this book! There are some similarities to Snow White, but I wouldn’t say it’s exactly a retelling because there were plenty of differences. It was fun to see what I recognized from Snow White and what was different!

This book has a great theme of looking beyond appearances, whether someone is blemished or beautiful, to a person’s heart. Pearl wears a veil because she doesn’t want to be recognized as the princess while she lives in hiding on the Isle of Outcasts, and everyone assumes she is disfigured. I really liked seeing Mikkel realize how many assumptions he used to make about people based solely on their appearance. I think that’s easy for all of us to do, even unintentionally, and this book was a great reminder to look more at people’s characters as you get to know them.

While this story doesn’t exactly end on a cliffhanger, I’m definitely looking forward to reading the third book based off that ending!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great second book in trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020

The second book in the series is just as good as the first. Prince Mikkel is doing his testing on the isle of outcasts and meets a mysterious woman hiding a secret that could cost her her life. And Mikkel has to learn to look beyond mere appearance. Meanwhile, evil Queen Margery continues to plot a way to make gold with her white stone. Must be read in order because otherwise things won’t make sense and things are mentioned from the first book which would be spoilers. Well written fairy tale that is a retelling in the barest sense so that it is unpredictable and imaginative.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful book with a timely message
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020

I was delighted with this book and author. This book is quite timely as the characters learn that there is much more to a person than what we see on the outside. In our nation we often judge a person by what we can see but the lesson of this book is that we are often foregoing blessings when we don't take the time to get to really know the other person first. I definitely recommend this book and author. I am looking forward to reading the final installment of this series next month!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Remakes
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021

Although I enjoyed this book, I don’t typically read this style. However, the beginning was interesting. I would have enjoyed it more if not attached to fairytales. I think it could stand alone, especially with name changes. The book doesn’t come to a complete conclusion at the end. Evidently, this is 1 of a 3+ set that weave themselves together somewhat, not much in this one though. The book ends on a good note but not completed like most books do. Will I go back & read the 1st or 3rd? Right now I lean against the 3rd. Too much fairytale stuff. The 1st might be worth it if more similar to the 2nd. Overall, a good book. I didn’t struggle to finish it like my last 2. If you like fairytale makeovers then this is a good read.

“The true Snow White story” I love how this book has a whole other series that goes after this one, it’s a pretty good book all of these books I couldn’t put it down, well I actually read it on my phone but great anyways since when ever I had even a few minutes of time I would easily read it from my phone. Make sure you read “the lost princesses” after reading these.
