In Shattered 21: Schneewittchen, the ageless tale of Snow White unravels in the shadows of a modern world, where beauty is both a prison and a dream. A young woman, bound by the whispered lie that only perfection is loved, faces a mirror that holds not just her reflection, but her deepest fears.

Trapped 21: Aschenputtel is a world where grief clings like a shadow and love is a forgotten language, a young woman navigates the cold silence of her home, where family is nothing more than an echo of what should have been.

Finally, Awake 21: Den lille havfrue is a lyrical and poignant reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid, set against the quiet rhythms of a modern world. A young girl, born with a condition that weakens her legs, watches her sister run freely and dreams of a life beyond her reach.

Shattered, Trapped & Awake is a poignant exploration of the personal and universal battles we all face-a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of reinvention.

A must-read for anyone who has ever felt confined by their past or longed for a new beginning, this collection will leave readers reflecting on the power of self-discovery and the beauty of awakening to one’s true self.
