Once upon a time, in a land known as Nuvinia, there were two statements that all inhabitants knew to be fact. First, the two kingdoms of Nuvinia, Dral and Proghund, despised one another and would spend eternity at odds. Two, one should practice extreme caution when at sea, because the waters were infested with seductive sirens who would happily sing you to your grave. For a young siren named Vivian, there were also two statements that had always been accepted as fact. One, she must not reach the age of eighteen before mating with and drowning a human man, or else be cast out from her pod to fend for herself. And two, she could not kill someone, even a human, for it would tear her apart. But she has to try. Just twenty-eight days before her birthday, Vivian sets out to find her victim. A quick turn of events results in her being taken aboard first a ship captained by a handsome Dralian pirate and then the boat of the dashing Proghundese prince himself. In the days that follow, Vivian explores the human world and its inhabitants instead of searching for a victim as her family believes she is doing-and the more that she does, the more she resents what she must do in order to stay with them. As she becomes friends with the prince and the pirate, Vivian discovers that her true destiny is to follow her heart rather than please others. And if she's lucky, Vivian may even stop a deadly war during her journey to find where she truly belongs. AWESOME cover by @elphadora!!

"As soon as you believe you are a monster is when you become one." After many years of war, the kingdom of Edria is finally in an era of peace--peace obtained by one thing and one thing only. A deal. King Regol has made a deal with the devil, or rather, a beast. A monster. Or so he claims. When he uses the deal for his own advantage, he threatens a girl named Zara, who has had everything but her family taken away. Zara is ordered to kill the beast Regol made a deal with, unbenownst to her that the deal even exists. When her attempt fails, she is left with two choices: to never go back home, or to learn from the beast so she can take back what is hers. She faces dangers on the castle grounds she thought were only stories; magic, creatures that kill a person in a single puff of air, and lastly, the beast, who can barely control the darkness that has buried itself in him for years. The longer she is on the castle grounds, however, the more she realizes everything is more than it seems... ...and that she has a power she could only dream about. **** A retelling of Beauty and the Beast Wonderful cover by @nicegirlsreadbooks Highest rank: #1 in Fantasy #4 in Adventure

With Anabella presumed to be dead or dying, the realm has forgotten her and turned to the newest distraction - the long awaited wedding between Iora's eldest princess and Trävore's most esteemed knight, famous for bravely accompanying the White Witch during her fateful journey. Human and fairy kings and queens alike believe their people to be safe from evil once again, but Edlyn knows better. Anabella is out there somewhere, weakened but still wicked, and patiently awaiting her chance to return. Edlyn's claim to the throne is threatened by her existence, and her friends and family may still be in danger. Her grandfather has yet to be found. Her journey is far from over, but Edlyn wants nothing more but to be finished with it all, to be taken back to the time before her life was wrecked by Anabella. Her relationship with Peter is shakier than ever, Alec has been distancing himself, and Celeste is too heartbroken to be of any help to Edlyn. She still has a long way to go, but will Edlyn be strong enough to defeat the world's most powerful witch, even when all of her relationships have been severed? Awesome cover made by @elphadora ☺️
