The Eighth Dwarf is a twisted, humorous, and wickedly entertaining retelling of a dark fairy tale where there are fatal consequences for ambition, no one is innocent, and a happily-ever-after comes with a death toll.
Everyone is familiar with Snow White’s story. What about the story of the dwarf who helped make her stepmother queen?
Tiberius is no hero. Rather a curmudgeonly blacksmith with lofty aspirations, a tongue sharper than his chisel, and no tolerance for his seven roommates’ chirpy, sing-song lifestyles. Hi ho, hell no.
So when a witch offers him power, wealth, and a chance to live like a king in return for crafting an unbreakable coffin? He’s in. No questions asked.
(He probably should have asked at least one or two.)
Suddenly he’s the unwitting participant in the queen’s murder. Nothing works out as planned, and now he’s stuck with royal secrets and a vindictive sorcerer whose dark magic could end him if he makes one wrong move. Tiberius merely wants to keep his head, the queen won’t remain dead, and the king demands answers.

Praise for Eighth Dwarf
Kobo reviewer Amy: “This is my first book by R.A. Goli and I cannot wait for more as this is said to be a prequel. This is not a Snow White retelling this is a part of the tale you have yet to be told. “
Amazon reviewer Deb: “I loved this story! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is a retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but has references to several others woven into Tiberius’s story.
This is a story of discontent and greed with danger and court intrigue. Tiberius sold his soul for a life he thought he deserved and wasn’t a very likeable character until he finally stood up to the new Queen’s demands. It was nice to see that he had a limit to what he was willing to do. Highly recommend this dark fairytale.”
