WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

A blacksmith's apprentice with no past, a young witch no one trusts, and a landlord's restless daughter are drawn into a struggle against an ancient evil that seeks not to conquer the living, but to erase every memory, every name. --- The old stories say evil was defeated. The Pit was sealed. The world was saved. The end. But the old stories are no longer enough. When Valant, Meika, and Darya discover a broken stele buried beneath their village, they awaken powers none of them understand-and draw the attention of the Covenant, a secretive order willing to burn towns and break kingdoms to seize the girl they call the Daughter of the Dragon. But the Covenant is not the only danger moving through the world. Something older and more terrifying is stirring, feeding on the lost and the forgotten, devouring names and memories, and leaving only deathless shades behind. A blacksmith's apprentice with no past. A witch's daughter with a forbidden legacy. A restless landlord's child who refuses the life chosen for her. Together, they must cross a land where buried history is rising, old lies are tearing everything apart, and the wrong choices can unmake them. If they fail, the world will not fall into darkness. It will be forgotten.
