Ashes: A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time... a girl in a red cloak is sent by her mother on an errand. Two brothers leave their mother's hut to seek their fortune and find a sugar house. A shepherd boy finds a giant creature while rounding up his missing sheep. A baby boy is predicted to only die from one of three causes: a dog, a snake, or a bear. An undead creature comes face-to-face with a man who has never known fear. A green-eyed nobleman, born after his mother loses a jade ring, disappears from his family once every few months. A dying queen names her infant daughter Albinia for the white snow outside her window.

And more. These fairy tales, both familiar and obscure are retold through the frame narrative of Snow White, Albinia as she's called, and the Seven Dwarves, or kobolds.
