poison

As Sophie gasped for breath on the forest floor, she was terrified but not surprised. She had heard the rumors and the whispers. They said she was too weak and foolish to rule, that she was just a failed princess. And a disastrous future queen. And Sophie believed them. In this world, poisoned apples don't put you into a magical sleep, they infect your mind with the cruelest things said about you. That's what keeps girls like Sophie from becoming so powerful... And yet, Sophie didn't die. She was saved by seven mysterious Engineers who managed to create a temporary heart for her. Not perfect, but it did have one advantage—it wasn't tainted by fear. Now Sophie had a chance to track down the source of the poisoned apples, to find the person who stole her heart, and to reclaim it. To prove that even the darkest magic can't extinguish the fire burning inside every girl.
