"A Princess to your kingdom before A Principal to your stage."

Mai, Princess Royal and first of twelve daughters has only two priorities. 
Her family and her dance - and sadly her dance can never come before her family. 

Because of this, despite her talent, Mai has never had the chance to preform to her fullest. 
Until the winter celebrations arise and the great artists come to town. 
Among them is The Black Rabbit, a trickster and enchanter who offers her the chance to take the stage without risking her position.

He just has one small request for her in return.

She just has to dance for someone.

When Snow Falls by no_kidding

The kingdom Dulcia has fallen. Dark creatures have invaded the palace, inslaving all those who work there. The royal family--the only ones able to stop the creatures--have vanished into oblivion. No one has seen or heard from them since the fall. There are rumors. Rumors that they escaped the castle, rumors that they are assembling an army to fight the creatures known as Muraes. Only one thing is for certain. No one knows where they went, nor do they know if they will come back. ________________________________________ Every year, Clair's family goes to the king of Arium's palace for of the most lavish Christmas party imaginable. They meet family, old friends, new acquaininces--anyone they possibly can. Clair never enjoys the huge parties. She prefers to be by herself, drawing or dancing. Until, one year, everything changes. Presented with the most beautiful gift she could possibly imagine, Clair is filled with joy. She clings to her wooden doll with her life, never letting go. When she wakes up one night and it is gone, she panics, searching for it. Only to find a hideous creature. When she is rescued by the same doll she loved, Clair is suddenly swept up into a world of magic, lost kingdoms, and lost royalty. But she is also in the world ruled by darkness. ________________________________________ "When snow falls, the kingdom dies. Light will leave, Dark will rise. It can only be stopped by treasure as pure as gold, as light as air, but strong and bold. Only then will the leader rise, out from ashes and hidden from prying eyes." ***** 2018 Wattys Shortlist 2018 Wattys Longlist Featured story Awesome cover by @elphadora ***** Loosely based on The Nutcracker (both book and ballet)

The world thinks it knows the Nutcracker Ballet's tale. A battle with a malevolent rat-fatally wounded so a girl and her magical nutcracker can whisk themselves off to the Land of Sweets. But I am that Rat. I didn't die. And the truth is much darker than it seems. The utopian society which is the Land of Sweets cannot survive without kidnapping talented dancers from the mortal world. They are our Prospects. Once I rebelled against the practice. Now I am one of the Queen's minions myself. I have no choice but to do her bidding. If I refuse, the Queen will take away the one thing that matters to me. My plan is to choose unsuitable Prospects-ones the Queen will reject and send home. I thought I had succeeded with Claire Sutton. Now I'm not so sure. She keeps surprising me. The most surprising thing of all? I don't want her to leave. ************ Enter into a land of sugar, spice, and things not-so-nice with The Prospect's Dance, the first in the Land of Sweets series!
