In a world where half of the population possesses magic, Morella Andrews is the first of her kind. Her unique abilities force her to rely on the protection and secrecy of her Union and the federal government to stay safe from people who would seek to use her for their own gain. When their safeguards fail and she’s approached with an offer of employment, no one involved expects her to refuse.

Except she does.

The mysterious “local businessman” won’t take no for an answer, though, so when they resort to a kidnapping attempt her only option is to rely on her new handler, Agent Pierson, to keep her safe. Tall, sexy, and incredibly irritating, Morella can’t figure out if he is disgusted or intrigued by her.

Fate forces them together and the Goddess keeps throwing surprises their way – unfounded judgements and trust issues, old connections, new powers, and the potential for explosive chemistry.

Morella may be a necromancer with unprecedented power, but when death eventually comes for her will she be able to overcome her own?

Title: The Measure of Sorrow Stories
Author: J. Ashley-Smith
Genre: Collection / Dark Fantasy / Horror
Release Date: June 6, 2023

Shirley Jackson Award-winning author J. Ashley-Smith’s first collection, The Measure of Sorrow, draws together ten new and previously acclaimed stories of dark speculative fiction. In these pages a black reef holds the secret to an interminable coastal limbo; a father struggles to relate to his estranged children in a post-bushfire wilderness; an artist records her last days in conversation with her unborn child; a brother and sister are abandoned to the manifestations of their uncle’s insanity; a suburban neighborhood succumbs to an indescribable malaise; teenage ravers fall in with an eldritch crowd; a sensitive New Age guy commits a terminal act of passive-aggression; a plane crash opens the door to the Garden of Eden; the new boy in the village falls victim to a fatal ruse; and a husband’s unexpressed grief is embodied in the shadows of a crumbling country barn. Intelligent and emotionally complex, the stories in The Measure of Sorrow elude easy classification, lifting the veil on the wonder and horror of a world just out of true.

Title: The Book of G
Author: Lily Archer
Genre: Fairy Tale Fantasy
Release Date: May 21, 2023

Villains don’t get happily ever afters, do they?

I have a glorious past full of achievement and renown. I mean, I feel like I must, right? The problem is, I can’t remember it. I can’t even remember my own name. I was found in a river, body mangled and face scarred, with nothing to identify me besides a single embroidered letter.

My memory is a murky blur, but I have a quest, one that will give me back everything I’ve lost. The voice in the water told me so. But the voice seemed to miss a few important highlights—namely the woman who challenges me at every twist and turn of my journey. The woman who tells me I’m a villain. The woman who becomes every fervent whisper of my heart, and every last thought in my head.

If I can complete my quest and recover what I’ve lost, she’ll see we’re meant to be. But villains don’t get happily ever afters, do they?

Lily’s Note: Sometimes falling from a great height can lead to a whole new life. This is a full-length standalone fantasy romance. Let your imagination run wild about who G is and just how wide his evil streak can be (hint: massive.)

Celebrating Shantel Tessier’s new book The Sacrifice.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
Holy Cow!

Title: The Sacrifice
Author: Shantel Tessier
Genre: Dark College Romance
Release Date: April 7, 2023

HIS LADY

A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college
for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret
society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with.
But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or
I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived

a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.

But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more

ruthless Lord that my family hated.

Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a
debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before
the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.
Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more
determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me

choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.

Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just
pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate

sacrifice … and even that may not be enough.
