About . . .

Runaway Lyrics

What one sister has, she must share with the other . . .

Snow loves music. She has spent her entire life learning, new instruments and memorizing new pieces, only to while away her life in a country manor with only her mother and twin sister as company. If only she could get out on her own and play in front of a real audience.

Rose loves magic. The things she can do with music would amaze her twin sister, but whenever she shows her, Snow quickly forgets as if the event had never happened. If only Rose could get out on her own and work some real magic.

When an airship crashes near their home, Snow’s magical abilities awaken. Together the sisters must learn to use their magic, rescue a pair of cursed princes, and discover their own secrets. Discover the magic of music in this retelling of Snow White and Rose Red.

Spotlight on Snow Songsmith

Snow Songsmith could easily be the main character of Runaway Lyrics. She goes through the biggest character growth as she loses faith in herself and then finds it again.

Snow has studied music her whole life. She can sight-read, memorize and has mastered most instruments. So it really bothers her that Mother refuses to let her study at the national music conservatory. What was all that study for, if not to use her gift?

Actually, Snow is pretty gifted at anything she tries to learn. She isn’t an engineer, but she seems to know how things go together. Whenever their mechanical butler, Roburt, breaks down, it’s Snow that knows how to fix him.

Later, Snow learns she has magical abilities. Even stranger, Rose, her twin sister, has these same abilities, and seems to have known about magic the whole time.

Over the course of the book, Snow learns her powers are out of control and dangerous. Rose uses her powers for good and to aid in their quest. Snow’s powers only seem capable of destruction and death.

Can Snow learn how to control the magic and not let it control her?
