A Stepmother’s Marchen Novel

Labeled an iron widow, spider widow, and witch of Neuwanstein castle, Marchioness Shuri Van Neuwanstein endured relentless criticism from a merciless society. Yet beneath their scorn lay a devoted stepmother who poured her heart into raising children unrelated by blood, transforming them from age-old siblings into her true legacy. When her eldest son Jeremy's wedding approached, she believed her years of sacrifice would finally find meaning.

That belief shattered when she was forbidden from attending. Caught in a catastrophic accident while fleeing the castle, Shuri died believing she had failed.

She woke to her husband's funeral—seven years earlier.

Faced with a second chance at the life that destroyed her, Shuri Van Neuwanstein makes an iron-willed decision: she will not repeat her past suffering. This time, she will rewrite her own story.
