Goodreads Synopsis:
A romantic retelling of a classic fairy tale about a beautiful herbalist and a lovestruck prince.
Shirayuki is an herbalist famous for her naturally bright-red hair, and the prince of Tanbarun wants her all to himself! The prince from the neighboring kingdom, Zen, rescues her from her plight, and thus begins their love story.
When a banquet invitation arrives from Prince Raj in Tanbarun, Izana tests Zen and Shirayuki’s budding relationship by forcing Shirayuki to accept. But before the young lovers can cope with their impending time apart, a new threat arrives in Clarines—and he’s got our red-haired heroine in his sights!

Review:
Shirayuki and Zen get two pieces of surprising news in this volume.
One includes a new character searching for her, and it's hard to tell
at this point if it's good or bad news coming for her. I kind of
think it could take the story somewhere fun.
The main part of the volume focuses on the other news, though, and
that involves Shirayuki's hometown and the prince she ran away from.
Zen doesn't quite like it, but Shirayuki agrees to go to a banquet in
his kingdom, though she hopes to improve herself and her
relationships by going.
This is an interesting plot, and seeing Shirayuki and Raj interact is
actually quite fun. Raj is worried about Zen threatening him, but
he's also a contrast to him. He's grown quite a lot since we first
met him, and I'm glad we're getting to see that progress here.
Similarly, it seems like we're finally starting to see some humanity
in Izana in this volume, and I'm curious by his character. On the
other hand, while we're getting some ominous hints regarding Obi,
it's hard to tell whether anything big is going to happen any time
soon with him.
This series is slowly growing on me. There were a few moments in this
volume that were just fun to read, plus we're getting some
interesting character development. I'm enjoying it.
