Plot

While admiring a bright red rose blooming during a white winter, Queen Eleanor of the Kingdom pricks her finger on the thorns. Three drops of blood fall on the snow and arouse in her the desire for a daughter with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, hair as black as a raven's wings and a heart as strong as a rose. A short time later she gives birth to Snow White but she falls ill and dies many years later. After her death, Snow White's father, King Magnus, and her army fight an invading army of glass soldiers. King Magnus finds a prisoner named Ravenna, is enchanted by her beauty, and marries her.

But Ravenna is a powerful witch who used the army of false glass to charm her way into the kingdom. On their wedding night, she confesses that there was a king much like Magnus who used her, hurt her, and then discarded her. She kills Magnus before conquering the kingdom. Snow White's childhood friend, William, and her father, Duke Hammond, run away from her but fail to save her, and she is locked in a tower for years.

The kingdom and its people deteriorate under the rule of Queen Ravenna, who periodically drains the youth from the kingdom's young women to maintain a spell cast on her as a child by her mother, which allows her to maintain her youthful beauty. When her stepdaughter Snow White comes of age, she learns from her Magic Mirror that Snow White is destined to destroy her unless she consumes the girl's heart, which will make her immortal. Ravenna orders her brother Finn to bring the princess to her, but Snow White escapes into the Dark Forest, where Ravenna has no power. Ravenna makes a deal with Eric the Huntsman, a widower and drunkard, to capture Snow White, promising in exchange to bring her wife back to life. But when Finn reveals that Ravenna doesn't actually have the power to resurrect the dead, the Huntsman helps Snow White escape. The Duke and William discover that Snow White is alive and William leaves the castle to find her, joining Finn's group as an archer.
