When Ama returns to her mother's village for her grandmother's funeral, she expects grief, old memories, and maybe the awkward warmth of relatives she barely remembers. What she doesn't expect is the silence-the uneasy kind that hangs over the town like fog. It's been ten years since Ama last set foot in Nyamekye, a village whispered to be protected by the old spider god, Kweku Ananse. But the moment she arrives, strange things begin to happen: webs appearing overnight across sacred trees, villagers murmuring about curses, and shadows that seem to move when no one's looking. As Ama delves deeper into her grandmother's past, she unravels secrets buried beneath generations of fear and deceit-secrets that tie her bloodline to Ananse himself. Caught between the world of the living and the realm of spirits, Ama must confront the truth: some webs are spun not to trap prey, but to keep something far darker from escaping. In Ananse's Web, myth meets mystery in a haunting tale of legacy, deception, and the price of uncovering what was meant to stay hidden.

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.
