Unmasqued by Deigan Marie
As the daughter of a noble family, Elinor Deveraux plays the part of the privileged young woman she is with elegance and poise. None would ever suspect her of guarding a secret that would label her as an outcast among high society. But when her family hires the handsome baker who humiliated her in public, the masque of perfection she holds onto starts to slip. A retelling of the beloved tale The Ugly Duckling, Unmasqued is a touching tale about embracing who the Maker created you to be.

Twelve Stars to Light the Night by Dawn E. Dagger
“Safe as stone in sunlight,
Secure as the stars in the sky at night…”
A blessing turned into a curse. Princess Eloise wants only to save her ill sister, but she must do so under the cover of night, or else she will turn to stone. She fears she will fail, and that the twelve sisters will be doomed to the darkness forever, bound by the enchantment of their father.

Likka and the Tengu by S. M. Shigemitsu
A princess fleeing for her life finds refuge with seven winged strangers in a remote mountain sanctuary; a witch obsessed with immortality hunts for the girl's living heart; a dying lord in an enchanted palace; and a mysterious prince manipulates events unseen. Set in a fantastical version of feudal Japan, where yokai and magic shape the world, this is Snow White reimagined.
