Curse-Maker: The Tale of Gwiddon Crow
What if the only way to save yourself was to beg help from the person whose life you have destroyed?
Gwiddon Crow is a young, vicious Curse-Maker who haunts the Winterly Wood of Albain, free from all laws, unchained from the suffering of her past. Her master, Gwiddon Baba Yaga, calls upon Crow to cast a curse upon the tiny kingdom of Astrum, and destroy the great seal which protects it from Baba Yaga's ally, Mordred the Draid. But the curse goes terribly wrong. Now, Crow is trapped in Astrum, alone with its resentful, blind prince--and the unbroken Seal is slowly draining her life. She must find a way to free herself from her own spell...
But the only way to do that may lie with the prince whose kingdom she has destroyed.
The Ignominious Mister Tipp
Lucinda Holliday--an educated lady with fiery red hair and an aloof disposition--must bargain help from the striking-but-volatile American, Mr. Tipp: a disgraced detective turned opium addict...
For he is the only man on earth who can possibly solve the mystery of her father's senseless murder.
Plunge into the romance and danger of 1870's London as this incompatible pair tangle with the cold case that destroyed both their lives, all while being haunted and hunted by the most elusive and insidious murderer in the world.
Scales: A Fresh Telling of Beauty and the Beast
If a princess transformed into a beast, could a man see through that fearsome ugliness enough to love her?
The poisonous jealousy of a sister gives birth to curse of vengeance. The body of a princess is warped and twisted into the form of a scaly, snake-like monster, and her mind is lost in shadow. A misfit minstrel, with a voice like sunshine, may be her only hope for salvation--but only if he survives their first encounter. A thrilling and unexpected reversal of the timeless romance of “Beauty and the Beast” launches Alydia Rackham's epic fairy tale series. If you enjoy magic, mystery, and the power of true love, you will relish this tale.
Genre: Young Adult Fiction
