Prologue
Have you ever fantasized about having your own coming of age story? Thought about how you would swoop in and get the girl of your dreams? This was Snow’s dream but that’s all it would ever be a dream. Snow is the princess of the Ivory kingdom and as prince her destiny is to marry a suitable man and produce an heir. In her kingdom women were subservient to men and their roles were to bear sons. Snow had always dreamed so much more.
The vision she held of her perfect future entailed her living in a cottage in the deep wood with her own garden where she could sit and paint the scenery. Snow would have a wife of her own and maybe they could even adopt a child. She would shower her child with the love and attentiveness that her parents lacked. They were always a little upset that she wasn’t born a boy. But she had always made the most of it.
