Snow, and No One Innocent

A woman the old tale would have called Snow crosses into a martial world where the apple, the mirror, and the rescue have all lost their mercy. Everyone she meets has already chosen a side, and none of those sides is kind. She can play the gentle exile the story expects, or learn the weapons the people around her respect. / Home will use her face.

She still does not know who profits if she stays sweet, and the next hand extended to her is not trustworthy just because it knows her name.
