"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.

Sinful Cinderella (Dark Fairy Tale Queens - Book 1) by AnitaValle

I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to. The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple. They're about to find out.

The Prospect's Dance (Book 1, Land of Sweets) by KatieVLovett

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!

Ballet by dancingbunny14

Just a little bit about ballet. This story follows my life and my meager ballet career. It's a bit random and some info about ballet from my perspective. If you would like for me to write a part about something in particular, just comment and I will. Enjoy! Thanks to @girl_who_reads for designing my cover, it's so awesome!! ~Mia

Evening Tales: Dark Academia Short Stories by LGraceWrites

Dark academia/royal core short stories each with links to the playlists that inspired them! He swept me out to the dance floor, placing his hand on the small of my back. I positioned my arm on his shoulder, reluctantly placing my other hand in his. The small skin-to-skin contact made my hand burn up and I felt like fleeing. The music began and we started to twirl around the ballroom. "My father wants you dead, you know." I reminded him. "Is that why you have come tonight?" He chuckled, "killing me will take much more than you, cruel beauty." "I wouldn't underestimate me. You know what happened before." "I certainly remember how it ended." He smirked, and I spun, slamming my heel into his foot, resulting in a stifled grunt. "So cruel." "I won't be so sloppy this time." "No, you won't." He said coolly, "But you aren't the only one with an agenda tonight." -A Dance With Your Enemy (full story inside!)
