Beauty in the Tower
A Combined Retelling of Sleeping Beauty & Rapunzel
-
Alora can’t remember a time when she wasn’t imprisoned in a tower. When a cryptic old wizard breaks her out, she learns overwhelming truths about her identity and destiny: she’s a princess, prophesied to bring about the downfall of an evil sorceress, and cursed to sleep until true love’s kiss wakes her.
Prince Aldric spends years searching for both his missing family and his lost betrothed. When a wounded Princess Alora collapses in his arms, he’s determined to help her break her curse and capture the sorceress who tore his family apart.
With Aldric’s help, Alora learns to harness a power she barely understands as her fated sleep looms ever closer. Will it be enough to defeat the powerful sorceress who cursed her, or will Alora and Aldric’s happily ever after be over before it can even begin? -

Lake of the Wild Swans
A Combined Retelling of Swan Lake & the Wild Swans
-
Princess Odette doesn’t expect dancing in the arms of the handsome and flirtatious Prince Lander to incite the jealous Lord Rothbart to kidnap and curse her and her seven brothers. Held captive far from home as a swan by day, princess by night, Odette evades Rothbart’s nightly proposals. She will do anything to return her brothers’ humanity—even knit with nettles. The way to break her own curse, however, remains a mystery.
Lander yearns to find the missing princess who captured his heart. After three years of fruitless searching, he fears he will never see his love again.
When Lander finally stumbles upon her prison, he will do whatever it takes to save Odette from the vile sorcerer and her seemingly unbreakable curse. Yet Rothbart has plans of his own. Can Lander break Odette’s curse in time, or will Rothbart keep her forever? -

A Combined Retelling of Cinderella & Snow White
-
To preserve her life, Princess Ella flees her stepmother’s treachery. Disguised as a peasant girl, she unexpectedly finds refuge in a cottage with seven dwarves. But the longer she hides from her true place as Fallon’s new queen, the deeper her evil stepmother’s claws dig into her beloved realm.
Prince Oberon’s plans to marry Ella are derailed when he and his siblings are cursed as swans, and then completely ruined when he hears of her passing. Returning to life as crown prince after the curse breaks proves more complicated than he anticipates—especially when everyone expects him to marry. Yet how can he marry when the one girl he loves is dead?
When Ella’s stepmother finds her, she is in more danger than ever before—a danger that only true love can fix. Will Oberon be able to save her in time, and will she find the courage to take her rightful place as Fallon’s queen before her stepmother destroys her? -

The Arrow & the Sword
A Combined Retelling of King Arthur & Robin Hood
-
Lady Gwynnivere would rather fight like a knight than embroider, much to her father’s chagrin. After years of training with her brother and their childhood friend, Gwynn is as fierce as they come. Yet danger from an unexpected foe encroaches, forcing her to flee for her life.
Sir Arthur and his fellow knights are tasked with Robin Hood’s capture. But when their mission goes vastly awry, Arthur’s only hope for justice is to retrieve Excalibur, end Prince John’s tyranny, and become the one true king.
Far more than despot princes, exorbitant taxes, and vigilante outlaws plague Avalon; long hidden secrets from the past threaten the realm. Can Arthur pull the sword from the stone to save Avalon? Will it be enough to save Gwynn? -

Dancing with Gold
A Combined Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses & Rumpelstiltskin
-
Princess Jadia and her sisters are trapped under a curse—one that shreds their dancing slippers and binds their words so they can’t tell anyone about it. As a result, no one else knows of the danger lurking beneath their feet.
After spending three years as a swan, the last thing Prince Orion needs to deal with is another curse. The king of Ronen begs him to solve the mystery behind the princesses’ ruined dancing slippers, and his offer of Jadia’s hand as a reward only discourages Orion further. Why compete for a hand he doesn’t want?
Orion and Jadia have known each other all their lives—and disliked each other almost as long. And yet, their parents think they’re the key to an alliance against the evil plaguing the Realms. An intricate dance entwines the reluctant pair ever closer despite their querulous history. Could losing their hearts be exactly what all of Caelia needs? -

A Combined Retelling of Thumbelina & the Ugly Duckling

Lady Edelyn dreams of having meaningful relationships where she is seen and valued, but because of the strange premonitions that overwhelm her, she hides from the cruelty of her peers instead. When the worst of her foes attack her, the last person she expects comes to her rescue: her brothers’ best friend, Prince Stefan—a man she usually avoids.
When Prince Stefan saves Lady Edelyn from her tormentors, he suddenly realizes she is no longer the little girl he remembers. With that unexpected awakening, he yearns to pursue her with the same intensity as his instinctual rescue. She, however, is hesitant to trust him—or anyone.
Just as Edelyn finally opens her heart to Stefan, two villainous lords kidnap her in their grasp for power. Desperate to find each other again, Stefan and Edelyn are determined to do whatever it takes to reach their happily ever after. Will Edelyn gain the confidence she needs to escape, and will Stefan be able to find her before he loses her forever?
