The Grace family ran an apothecary in their tiny home village. When their father dies, Artemisia & Loreli Grace take over the family business. But when the Prince of the Khavamoore Kingdom falls in love with her sister & whisks her away to the capital city, Artemisia is left alone in their father's home with her pets and her plants. Unbenounced to their village, Artemisia & Loreli are witches, as their father was. This long-held family secret has been kept well, but suspicion has begun to rise in the village as the locals, outraged over the recent decree of acceptance of magick in the capital, begin to mistrust the apothecary & the strange Grace daughter who haunts it. After months of prodding, Artemisia finally gives into Loreli's suggestion that they move Grace House Apothecary to Westgarde, the famed capital city of Khavamoore. Soon after her move to the city, Artemisia Grace is swept into the world of deceptive royals, soft-handed Captains, and heart-pounding danger that is Westgarde and the secrets within the palace. * cover is from Tara Spruit, @taratjah on instagram *

Magic is supposed to be easy; there's Black, White, and Green Magic, and once a Witch picks a path, that's really all she has to worry about. But for Darlena Agara, things just keep getting harder. She's torn between her best friend's choice of the Black path, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend's choice of the White path, so she tries to stall, waiting for divine inspiration. Darlena isn't expecting the form it takes, though. Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, shows up in her living room and pressures her to choose her path, and Lena does something stupid; she declares that she'll be a Red Witch, something that doesn't exist...or does it? Daughter of Chaos is the first book in the Red Magic series, and I'm happy to share it here with you! Enjoy! If you want to read the rest of the series, book two is called Gods of Chaos, and book three is Triumph of Chaos. Both are available wherever books or eBooks are sold.

”That’s where I will always love you.” Quinlan Day lives for normal. Her normal morning routine, normal friends, and a normal life in the ordinary town of Icehaven, Maine. Anything other than normal could mean something unexpected, unplanned, or unpredictable. Just like when her dad mysteriously disappeared in the middle of a midnight fishing trip when she was young, never to be seen again. So when she meets Peter, a boy whose first name practically spells trouble, her world spins out of control. When Quinn finds her missing dad’s old journal that talks about a faraway land where people never age, things start to change. Shadows in the alleys seem to be watching her every step, and she can’t shake the feeling of constant pursuit. The more she let’s her mind wander, and the more her heart falls for the dark boy she pushes away at all costs, the more danger follows. Will Quinn take charge of the abnormal events that haunt her life like a bad dream? Or will her heart be swallowed by the shadows that lurk in the night? ”You aren’t from around here are you?” I whisper, my breath causing wisps of smoke to rise in the cold night. His back remains to me, blonde hair silhouetted by the moon. His back tenses under the leather jacket. “No,” he says, as if in a daze. “Not even close.”
