Soon after, a cunning sorceress tricked the king into marrying her, and then, seething with jealousy, she plotted to kill Rimonah. But as Rimonah grew to be a fearless horsewoman, her goodness and bravery saved her time and again from her evil stepmother's malicious trickery.

Beautiful and brave, Rimonah of the Flashing Sword is rewarded in this North African version of Snow White.
