Mirror mirror made of gold,
Here’s the story you were never told . . .

I’ve always suspected some sort of mystery surrounding my adoption—I mean, who doesn’t remember anything before they were five? But the tall, dark, axe-wielding fae huntsman showing up at my door yelling that I’m a lost princess and the Unseelie Queen is coming to kill me? That I didn’t see coming.

It’s hard to argue with a pack of evil wolves on your doorstep, so I grab my sword, my cookbook, and my seven chickens (yes, you heard me right), and follow him to Faerie. I’m all for not being eaten by wolves. I’m less excited about the fact that the huntsman seems to think I’m the only one who can defeat the Unseelie Queen and save Faerie. I’m not powerful or magical, even if my baking skills are legendary.

But the longer I stay in Faerie, the more I want to help its people. And the more time I spend with the terrifyingly handsome huntsman, the more I want to convince him that he’s who I need by my side while I do. He’d do anything to protect me, but it’s my heart he’s putting in danger.

Do I have what it takes to go from baking pies to saving kingdoms? Who will take care of the chickens if I fail?

**This sweet and cozy retelling of Snow White is a stand-alone novel in the Faerie Tale Romances series. If you like a little cottagecore slice-of-life with your fantasy romance, read The Frost Gate today!**

A bond she didn’t choose.
A love she can’t escape.
A creature so powerful it bends the limits of time…

Smart, sassy, and sanguine, Des Mildue is a traveling sellsword in Rescalin, a dry and dusty kingdom full of rogues, opportunists, and thieves. She keeps her nose clean, brazens it out with a blade when she can’t, and keeps others at arm’s length where they can’t mess up her plans.

That is, until a sword fight gone wrong leaves her tied by blood to the first dragon hatched in centuries. Suddenly, Des has to contend with a new voice in her head: haughty, willful Esquidamelion. Des wants to leave Squid by the roadside, but the blood bond has other ideas.

With half the world on their tail – including Liv, her beautiful, faithless ex who Des is definitely over – Des must search for answers for why so many are willing to kill, maim and torture to get their hands on Squid. But she’s beginning to suspect her blood bond has tied her not only to a dragon, but to a fight for Rescalin’s future…

…and no one else even knows it’s at risk.

If you like the kind of story that grabs you by the shirtfront and hauls you through mystery, magic, adventure and betrayal, with a side of sapphic romance, pick up The Blood-Born Dragon, first in a new trilogy from debut author J.C. Rycroft.

A 52-year-old hunter, the younger dragon who loves her, and a teenage hunter-in-training, all in a cottage in a magical garden (to say nothing of the three elves, eight witches, a sisterly dragon, and the cat sent by a goddess) . . .

Diana Barksdale has been a hunter for the Diana Council for most of her life, working as an avatar for the Roman goddess Diana by finding and eliminating those magical creatures who are causing harm. Known only as Barksdale (because what else do you do in a group with hundreds of women, all named Diana?), she’s sacrificed any personal life to serve the goddess’s will. But now she’s been sent on a far more terrifying mission–training a 14-year-old girl.

Harrison David has been in love with Barksdale ever since he woke up to find her spear at his throat. As a dragon, loving only one person makes him a bit of an outcast, but, now that his mother the dragon queen has sent him to live with Barksdale and help her train a new Diana, none of that matters. What does is that there’s a threat growing in their beautiful new home, one his dragon senses detect only too well–and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves and their young trainee.

Artemis (Miz) Montero’s hope is simply to get through each day unscathed. As a foster child, she’s used to ending up in questionable situations. But a house in a huge public garden where an old woman tells her she’s going to become an avatar for a Roman goddess? That’s not just questionable. That’s crazy!

Still, the three of them will need to work together to create a new kind of follower for the goddess. Because there’s something wrong with the Diana Council, and, if they don’t fix it, they may all be dead. Joined by more magical teenagers than Barksdale can shake her bow and arrow at, they’ll have to find a way to heal the land and make several goddesses happy, or they may not live to fight another day.

The Eternal Hunt is a perfect introduction to the More in Heaven and Earth universe. Continuing readers will delight in visits from dozens of old friends, while new readers can easily enjoy the loads of quirky humor, romance, and suspense of this unusual contemporary fantasy with plenty of mythological twists.

On a Katherine Gilbert wackiness scale of 1-to-10 sarcastic talking cats*, this one is a 7.

*Warning: Not all stories contain talking cats. Wackiness may take other forms.

The More in Heaven and Earth series is all set in the same magical universe filled with angels, witches, werewolves, demons, vampires, ghosts, and many other supernatural creatures. These intriguing tales can be read in any order or as stand-alones and will introduce the reader to a variety of fascinating characters throughout the many unique locales of this exciting world.
