Princess Snow and the Empress
WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅An East Asian 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 labelled 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 hunting 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.

Takumi of the Snow Village
In the remote mountain village of Yukimura, life is as harsh as the endless snowfall that blankets the land. Fifteen-year-old Takumi shoulders the burden of his family's survival, caring for his sick mother and four younger siblings while resenting the father who abandoned them after the war. With every passing day, the snow grows heavier, and so does the weight on his shoulders. When whispers of bandits in the mountains reach Yukimura, Takumi takes it upon himself to protect his family and his village. But the threat of violence is only the beginning. As winter deepens, secrets buried in the snow begin to surface-secrets about his father, about the war, and about Takumi's own strength. Facing relentless challenges, Takumi must navigate betrayal, survival, and the fragile bonds of community. In the unforgiving cold, he discovers that courage isn't the absence of fear but the will to stand firm against it. With each step, he's forced to decide: will he crumble under the weight of his responsibilities, or rise as the protector his family and village so desperately need? Takumi of the Snow Village is a heartfelt coming-of-age story of sacrifice, resilience, and the unbreakable ties of family, set against the brutal beauty of a snowbound world.Complete![Need Me | D.N [1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/292955610-256-k15675.jpg)
