For once, the dark does not scare me. I surge ahead, weaving through the buildings with ease. I've lived in this place long enough to know exactly how to find you. Without the loud buzzing of the fluorescents, the air circulating through the vents in this massive structure gives off a deep resonating hum, like a wail of despair rising from deep underground. The place is nothing but a husk of what it was, the hastened scurrying of little feet as nonexistent as the lies that kept them moving.

Picture this. You're an everyday person, minding your own business and trying to get over the loss of a loved one. One day, you realize that your life's in danger and a bunch of bad people are after you. You try to escape them, only to get captured and find yourself in a place where they beat you up and ask you for the password to a vault you never knew existed. You either give them the password, or watch them erase everyone you cared about. Including, the ones you thought were dead. ---><--- Chloe and her mother Olive, have been living peacefully together for the past eight years since her father's death.

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.

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.
