Featured Fantasy: Shadows of the Fallen (A Trespass of Angels Book 1) by A.L. Knorr

Their relationship? Complicated.
Their chemistry? Irresistible.
Their enemies? Biblical.


Petra is the only one of her kind—a telekinetic supernatural with a tragic past, questionable judgment, and the subtlety of a thrown grenade. After spending three years wiping an evil corporation off the map (long story, lots of fire), she and Jesse can finally be free. Then a demon shows up to say, You’re one of us.

So naturally, Petra ghosts. Not because she doesn’t love Jesse. But if she’s tied to something ancient, monstrous, and cosmically wrong, she’ll do whatever it takes to keep it from touching him. Even if that means breaking his heart.

Jesse, meanwhile, does what any genius hacker with abandonment issues would do: ignore common sense and dig through encrypted hell to find her. When a sleek biotech company offers him a job, it looks like the perfect distraction—easy hours, clean code, and no one asking about the girl who left ash and silence in her wake.

But Petra isn’t done being hunted.

As she uncovers her connection to the ancient Watchers—angelic rebels from Heaven—Jesse gets pulled deeper into a web of corporate secrets, divine conspiracies, and an apocalypse that may already be in motion—and Petra’s not just caught in the middle, she is the point.

This isn’t a story about falling for an angel. It’s about surviving one.

A fast-paced supernatural thriller with urban fantasy roots, a gritty romance where ‘I love you’ comes out as ‘don’t die’, and a heroine weaponized by divine design—whether she likes it or not. If you liked Shadowhunters, but wished it had less romance drama and more ancient conspiracies—you’ll love Shadows of the Fallen.

A siren on the run. A ship full of strangers. A storm that knows her name.

Gina is running from a life she can’t explain—and a truth she can’t face. Under false pretences and with no plan beyond the horizon, she boards a historic sailing ship hoping to vanish into salt and sky. But when she meets someone who sees more than he should, and a storm that feels more like a reckoning than an accident, Gina realizes the sea has plans of its own.

For one boy, she’s unforgettable. For the sea, she’s unfinished business.

Cobalt is a haunting prequel about identity, escape, and the beginning of a legacy far bigger than one mermaid.

Return to the siren realm of A.L. Knorr with Pretty Little Mermaids, which expands the lore and worlds established in Born of Water, Mermaid’s Return and The Siren’s Curse, but is set before the events of the latter.

She’s a siren by blood. A science nerd by choice. And she’s about to pick a fight with the ocean itself.

To most mermaids, the Salt is sacred—an ancient tide that claims your memory, your humanity, and controls your mating cycle. But Eadie Jackson isn’t like most mermaids. She’s the youngest of triplets, allergic to destiny, and still angry that the sea took her mother.

She wants a normal senior year: survive her bully, ace her science fair, and maybe get Seth Foster to look at her like she’s not just weird-Jackson-girl number three. But when Eadie discovers a mermaid trapped in salt-flush—her memory wiped, her identity gone—she realizes the Salt isn’t just cruel. It’s a cage.

Now the ocean wants Eadie too. And it’s not used to hearing no.

Can the “weakest” Jackson sister outwit ancient magic without losing herself—or the only normal life she’s ever wanted?

Aquamarine is a fierce and funny YA mermaid fantasy packed with high school chaos, slow-burn romance, and a heroine who refuses to sink.

One earns a coveted place among royalty. Another is imprisoned by her betrothed, while the third is exiled until he can prove his worth. Can these three fae prevent a war?

Dreaming of escaping her simple country life and tired of keeping her winged familiars a secret, half-fae Jessica finds herself swept into a breathtaking world of an elite retinue of fae performers known as the Calyx. As she learns to master her abilities, Jess is expected to entertain at glittering balls in the richest kingdom in Ivryndi, alongside far more experienced and beautiful flora fae. She is sworn to secrecy as she discovers the source of their wealth–the perfumes that royals travel from far-flung and exotic kingdoms to possess. As her exciting new life—and magic—blossoms, Jess learns that her mother has been keeping a secret of her own, one that changes everything.

Rejection has left fae courtier Laec wallowing in wine and disdainful of what he sees in the mirror. When Queen Elphame offers him a foreign commission, he jumps at the chance for a fresh start, but when he meets a beautiful and mysterious stranger on the road, he soon learns that healing his heart may inflame the very trouble his queen sent him to prevent.

Beautiful and eligible Çifta believes in the importance of duty. Wishing to please her father, she agrees to marry a powerful unseelie prince. But when she discovers his cold heart and attempts to break the engagement, she suddenly finds herself in chains. Alone and trapped in a damp fortress, she cannot see a way out.


When a visit to another realm sparks a dark turn of events, it sets these three fae on a collision course. Will they wilt under pressure or become a thorny threat to evil?

Welcome to the continent of Ivryndi, where flora and fauna magic reign, and an unseelie prince with a mysterious power threatens it all. If you love stories steeped in the beauty of nature, slow-burn romance, and endearing characters (including a whole cast of insects and mammals) you’ll never forget, enter the dreamy otherworld of A Blossom at Midnight. At over 500 pages, this title delivers an epic-length fantasy experience by an award-winning author.
