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.

"Mine..." he repeated softly, drawing his head back to stare at her. Dazed by his beauty, she could only stare back. Feiyan flinched as he brought his face even closer. The ruby red eyes above her were framed with heavy white lashes, and they bore into her, drinking in her features. Her stomach flipped as his gaze filled with a deep longing, but she could also see an inexplicable sadness. Without realizing what she was doing, she reached towards him, giving in to the sudden desire to comfort him. "Mine..." he whispered in a voice silky with delight and satisfaction. "Mine!" Crushing her into his embrace, the demon proceeded to devour every inch of her... *** Feiyan is born the twin sister of the Crown Prince of Moutan, but she is rejected when the royal astrologer determines that her fate is tied to a greater demon. Instead of killing her, the King has her raised by his trusted advisor. Feiyan gradually learns to live in the Crown Prince's shadow, but her narrow existence begins to change when she meets Pul, the page of a visiting prince from the neighbouring kingdom of Shobu, who has his own secrets. Although they have a rough start, the two become friends. However, when the Shoban prince is assassinated, Shobu's armies unleash demons onto the land, starting a war that Moutan cannot hope to win. As punishment for the death of their prince, Shobu demands an annual human tribute to feed an even greater evil that they have been concealing in their capital. Eight years after Moutan's defeat, the Crown Prince is selected as part of the human tribute, but Feiyan takes his place. No longer a child, Feiyan refuses to back away from the destiny that awaits her in Shobu's great underground maze, the Migong. Inspired by Theseus and the Minotaur, this is Book 1 of the Migong series. Cover by Rowein. Copyright © TL_Nonoke 2022. All Rights Reserved. Highest Ranking: #2 Asianfantasy
