Author: Cara Carnes

Cara Carnes writes romance across science-fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and military-adventure settings. Snow and the Shadows begins the Roteran Shadows sequence and transforms Snow White into an intergalactic story about Princess Snow Cavell and seven feared operatives caught between neutrality and a widening conflict. The novel combines fairy-tale recognition with spaceships, magical power, political alliances, and a shared romantic bond. Carnes grew up in small-town Texas and has described travel, photography, and reading as important parts of her creative life. Her extensive bibliography includes the Arsenal series, the Aegis Group books, and other connected stories built around teams facing dangerous assignments and personal loyalties. Snow and the Shadows represents the more overtly fantastical side of that work. It retains the structure of a familiar tale while replacing its forest and dwarfs with a galactic alliance, a princess trained to defend herself, and seven distinct characters whose decisions alter the course of a war.
