'This book is Mortal Instruments meets Hunger Games with the romance of Twilight and incredible fight scenes to rival John Wick. This first installment of a young adult urban fiction bursts into action as Imogen Truman- a meek teenager discovers she's immortal and is unleashed in a hidden world where demons and mystical creatures roam, with the sole purpose of destroying earth. A magical pendant gifted to her from her parents shines a bright blue, warning of nearby Paignon beasts. But raging blue flames signify the death of her fellow Arcs. With every kill she becomes stronger. But, not even her 500-year-old mentor can contain her. The more powerful she becomes, the more attractive the Paignon King Von Strickenstein, finds her. After falling in love with Rupert De Guais, Imogen questions the world of Arcs and longs to be a normal teenager. Puzzled by her ever-increasing abilities, she sets out to rid the world of the Paignon King. But her actions leave her vulnerable and Strickenstein takes something far more valuable from her than life. Will she be able to save herself and Rupert? Her final transformation leaves many questions unanswered. Red Blood on White Snow is a metaphor for death and carnage that a pure and innocent teenager bares witness to. A compelling coming of age, urban fantasy story with teenage social themes entwined in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts. DON'T WAIT TO BE SAVED!'
