My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.

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 bookwormish girl. A spoiled, troubled heir. A love that looks beneath the surface. After the tragic death of her mother and the loss of her father's job, Isabelle and her family move to a rural town in Kansas to start a new life and have a new hope for the future. Isabelle, a bibliophile, longs for a good read and suddenly stumbles upon a mysterious fairytale book in a secret nook of the local library. That's when everything changes... When her father gets into some hospitality trouble with a bitter, rich (yet handsome) young man Isabelle has no choice but to offer herself as a maidservant to help her family. Now, Isabelle must adjust to a whole new world as a servant in a large mansion with many colorful servants and easily tempered (yet handsome), "beastly" Master Alexander Bettman, a troubled young man who is more than meets the eye. Will Isabelle be able to endure her new surroundings? What is the true reason behind the Master's bitterness, and is it possible for a man like him to come to Christ after so much pain? Based off the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast, this is a story of how the power of kindness and God's word can bring the most beautiful kind of healing even in the most "beastly" circumstances.
