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.

Snow's dream has come true: she's left the confines of the Jade Palace and is now living a freer life on the Northern Steppes with her childhood sweetheart, Erden. However, she's been having vivid nightmares of a white-clad warrior fighting celestial soldiers, before being captured and punished severely. She has many questions about her hidden identity as a half-fox demon, but no one can give her any answers. All she knows is that she's the daughter of a celestial fox, and that a snowy white fox turns up whenever she's in trouble. She thought she could keep that part of herself a secret forever, until one day, while out near a forest plagued by wolves, she inadvertently turned into. . . a white fox. Can she return to her human form? Will Erden accept her if he knew she was a fox demon all along? Will she ever uncover the identity of the mysterious warrior who haunts her dreams? More action packed than the first book, with a healthy dose of romance, humor and angst, this is Snow's journey as she learns more about herself, and finds a guardian and mentor in an old friend whose fate is tied to her in ways she never anticipated, and whose love for her knows no bounds.

In a world scarred by war, a young boy is found on the battlefield. Taken in by a powerful magician and hidden within the walls of a renowned magic academy, Devion is promised a peaceful life-far from the horrors of the past. But when an unknown power awakens within him-one no one can explain or control-Devion becomes the key to a buried truth that could save, or doom, the three kingdoms.

For 17-year-old Nyx Madden, stealing shadows is second nature. This rare power allows her to control the person whose shadow she holds. And, since she's been on her own for the past five years, it's her only chance at survival. But Nyx's life in the shadows is jeopardized when she is visited by Victor, the enigmatic leader of the criminal underworld. Somehow, he discovered that she is the faceless Shadow Thief, Itoria's most wanted criminal. If he reveals her identity, she'll be hanged. Victor strikes a deal with Nyx. He'll give her more gold than she knows what to do with in exchange for the shadow of Itoria's Silver Prince, thus nicknamed for his fickle nature and careless wealth. Nyx readily agrees, as this may be the last shadow she ever has to steal. And, considering the Silver Prince's rotten reputation, Itoria can only improve with him out of the way. In order to take the prince's shadow, Nyx must uncover his greatest fear and confront him with it. She infiltrates the castle, where she discovers that nothing in Itoria is as it seems, including the prince himself. Stuck under his dying father's thumb, the Silver Prince has little freedom-but his selfish, callow nature might be hiding a golden heart. With her identity hanging in the balance, Nyx finds the fate of the entire kingdom in her hands-and her own heart in the hands of the Silver Prince.
