R.C. Lewis launches her fiction career with this electrifying, wildly imaginative debut. Set on the sub-zero planet of Thanda, Stitching Snow is the tale of a missing princess—and of the ruthless king and queen who will do anything to reclaim her. Far from her ice-cold parents, however, Princess Snow warms to new possibilities as she’s pulled into a confrontation of galactic proportions. (Science Fiction/Ages 13 and up) Princess Snow is missing. Her home planet, once known for lush landscapes, is now filled with violence, fear, and corruption at the hands of King Matthias and his new wife as they attempt to punish the princess’s captors. The king will stop at nothing to get his beloved daughter back—but that’s assuming she wants to return at all. Essie has grown used to being cold. Temperatures on the planet Thanda are always sub-zero, and she fills her days with coding and repairs for the seven loyal drones that run the local mines. When a mysterious young man named Dane crash-lands near her home, Essie agrees to help the pilot repair his ship. But soon she realizes that Dane’s arrival was far from accidental, and she’s pulled into the heart of a war she’s risked everything to avoid. In her enthralling debut, R.C. Lewis weaves the tale of a princess on the run from painful secrets (and a poisonous queen). With the galaxy’s future—and her own—in jeopardy, Essie must choose who to trust in a fiery fight for survival.
