Featured Fantasy: Reaper’s Assistant (Reapers of Rosethorne City Book 1) by Miri Cosette

NEW RELEASE
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia

Chaining myself to a broody reaper while colluding with a demon sounds like a death wish. But hey, I’ve been dead before.

You’d think being an assistant to the most notorious reaper in the city would have its perks. After all, what lowly human like myself wouldn’t appreciate a little borrowed magic?

Here’s the kick. I didn’t sign up for this.

Correction: I don’t remember signing up for this.

See, I died. And, according to my contract, agreed to return to the land of the living in exchange for a memory wipe and a lifetime of servitude to Apollo Grim, head reaper and insufferable prick.

Now, my best friend has been accused of murder. I know she’s innocent, but tensions are high and powerful people are looking for a scapegoat. To prove her innocence and find the true murderer, I have no choice but to team up with Detective Slater Brimstone, Rosethorne City’s most ruthless demon.

If Apollo ever finds out I’m working with Slater, our contract will be considered void and he’ll finish what he started. And this time, there’ll be no coming back from the dead.

Reaper’s Assistant is a fun, fast-paced urban fantasy with plenty of twists and a dash of slow burn romance. Please note this book contains PG-13 content such as adult language and mature themes. This book ends on a cliffhanger.

“This one deserves more than 5 stars.”
“[B]rings you such phenomenal dragons that your jaw will be on the floor.”
“I might have just read my favourite high fantasy book of 2023.”
“Just came off a high after Fourth Wing and Bound and Broken series. In a funk until I found your Realm Breaker series.”


The Realm-Building Enterprise is open to all. On the continent of Elondria, anyone may become the next legendary dragon rider by building the greatest towns, cities, and even kingdoms.

Skálda Branwright dreams of leaving the Longcold and becoming the first Dragonlord to build an official realm. Only no dragon egg has ever hatched for her.

But when a wild hatchling falls to her from the skies, begging for rescue, she must decide whether to relinquish her dreams and become the worst criminal of all – a rogue rider. One with the potential to restore mankind’s sovereignty from the brutal dominion of elves.

The Realm-Building Enterprise was meant to unite all races, until it became a means for elves to control the continent.

But this is no ordinary dragon. By the time Skálda realizes what she holds in her hands, it is much too late.

Stealing this hatchling will mean breaking Elondria’s twenty realms, beginning with the one she calls home…

A Realm-Breaker is coming.

He stole her heart for the Queen
But now he wants it for himself
Will he sacrifice everything
To unlock the magic of her heart?


A notorious assassin for the Queen of Hearts, Rabb Silverhope has never had trouble making women fall for him so he could steal their hearts for the Queen.

Until he captures Allie’s.

But that’s not her real name.

A blank slate, “Allie” doesn’t remember who she is. She doesn’t know how she arrived in the mystical Land of Wünder. She doesn’t know how to return to her world. Except that she must.

Allie’s blank heart is the special on the Queen’s menu.

But curiouser still, it appears to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of Rabb’s own veiled past.

Can Allie stay immune to Rabb’s charms long enough to find her way home? Can Rabb resist her temptation or will he sacrifice her heart for his own?

Aether is life, love, death, rebirth. But above all else, it is power.

To save the man I love, I have to destroy him.

For years, Dex deceived me. Now I am the deceiver. He was right; I am more powerful with a demon by my side. Only it can never be him. And that terrifies me.

Trapped in the Netherworld, I must find a way to accept Baladon as my mate. Even though I loathe the idea of bonding with him, it’s the only way to save everyone I love. As I learn to navigate this ruthless new world, more of Dex’s lies are revealed. Yet, it’s hard to judge him when I’m a liar too, especially when truth and lies can be so easily twisted.

Staying alive in the Demon King’s court has to be my main focus, especially when Baladon’s agenda remains a mystery. It soon becomes clear that I can’t trust anyone. Coming here alone was the worst decision I’ve ever made, but if I run the consequences won’t just affect me. They will wipe out everyone—in both worlds.

Saving the Aether’s Heart might be my destiny, but it isn’t my only goal. Surviving is.

I am the Angel of Aether. I will not be enslaved by anyone, especially the Demon King.

Devin doesn’t want to get married, but he wants to be a frog even less.

Knight-errant Devin takes a shortcut through the woods, only to be captured by fairy forces. The fairy queen has run out of breathing males to fight for her hand, and Devin, while not ideal fairy stock, is breathing—for now. Telling a vain fairy queen you’d rather not be her one true love is a ticket to life on a lilypad, so the knight agrees to face three challenges to win Queen Agalea’s hand. When a clever servant girl offers to help him navigate the trials in order to stop the constant bloodshed of the courtship ritual, Devin jumps at the chance.

Cat-Elf Sevaine’s only goal in life is to stop Agalea from killing off every male she gets her hands on. When cocky but quick-on-his-feet Devin stumbles into her world, she may finally have a champion who can beat Agalea’s cruel games—if she can resist falling in love with him herself. With Sevaine’s help, Devin balances “flirting” with his “beloved” and overcoming tasks specifically designed to kill him.

But even if he defeats Agalea’s challenges, will happily ever after be possible if he’s fallen for his new partner in survival?

Win the game, change your fate. Lose the game, lose your life.When Alice Liddell runs away on the night of her engagement party and stumbles into a shadowy pub on a forgotten street, she thinks her life is ruined. Her parents are furious, her reputation is destroyed, and her fall from society will be printed in all of London’s gossip columns. Then a mysterious stranger gives her an unexpected solution to all of her problems: A yearly game inviting mortals into the land of Faerie to play the queen’s infamous Game of Hearts. To win is to gain a wish of your heart but to lose means sacrificing your freedom.

Alice quickly realizes the game is far more intricate and deadly than she was led to believe and teams up with the rebellious and irreverent cat-shifter Ches. Together they must outwit the other players by solving the obscure riddles given as clues and get out of the queen’s enchanted hedge maze unscathed. It also means staying far away from Maddox, the queen’s champion player and Alice’s fiercest competition. He’s determined to win at all costs, but Alice suspects his motives may not be his own.

The deeper Alice goes inside the world of cunning fae, bloodthirsty beasts, and vengeful queens, the more she fears that winning means betraying those closest to her. And in this Game of Hearts, Alice needs to guard hers.

This 1920’s Alice in Wonderland reimagining is the second book in the Otherworlds Trilogy and is perfect for fans of fairytale retellings with dark twists, atmospheric settings, and slow burn romance that’s swoony, not spicy.
