Imogen Zezinger did not get swept up in a tornado. She did not fly out of a window or climb through a wardrobe... or fall down a rabbit hole. She simply took a wrong turn. When a confusing drive through the Italian countryside leads Zez into a land called Tol Tava, she knows that her adventure has begun. The world she has stumbled across is filled with the beauty of an everlasting night, hills that stretch towards the heavens, prisons buried beneath the earth, and an overgrown manor of serpents. She is taken into the home of the Viper, a beautiful woman who proclaims that Zez is the answer to a bitter blood feud. So, Zez shrugs and accepts this strange new destiny. In a bright yellow Fiat, with an alluring queen of snakes, Imogen Zezinger takes off through the hills of Tol Tava. A fantastic journey stretches before her and she may play hero, learn that things are never what they seem, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime. (This story is loosely based on Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.) Cover by @anonymousmlpfan

″You don't have a soulmark. You're safe.″ ″Safe?″ Israel's lips curve into a kind of grin that makes me really rethink using this word to describe him. But before I can change my mind, he shakes my hand. ″All right, it's a deal.″ He winks. ″You've got yourself a boyfriend.″ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ Sam's soulmate is in love with her best friend, so she dates his worst enemy. It made sense at the time.

Sin and symphony. That's all a necromancer needs. Octavia is a woman of many hats -- a maestro, an educator, a wanderer and an accomplished liar, and she wears all of them at once if need be. Masquerading as a music teacher, she travels the world on a mission to rid it of the netherborne -- a scourge from beyond the grave. When her travels take her to the tiny island of Hedalda, she finds a town on its knees, under the heel of the netherborne, and a people who believe necromancers are the worst thing to happen to humanity. Wit and a song, necromancy through music, was all she ever needed. But this time it isn't enough. The scourge looms larger with each song Octavia plays, and to save Hedalda she must navigate a web of deceit, look beyond sin and symphony, all while keeping her true identity a secret. Awesome cover was made by @scmimi

The Goblin's Trilogy #2 Nearly six years have passed since the goblin king and queen overthrew Queen Mab, took ownership of the Unseelie court and turned their kingdom into an empire. Life could not be any better for the goblin king and his human bride. Knut has recovered well from his ordeal and has taken up the mantle of the emperor with his usual unbridled enthusiasm. Matilda has settled into the life of an empress and mother both surprisingly happily. Their twins, Fritjof and Floki, just learned to stab things properly, their youngest, Odd, is learning to speak more than just growl and Matilda's currently expecting her fourth child. For the first time in her entire life, Matilda truly feels content. However, when she is betrayed in the worst possible way by a trusted friend and she suffers an unbearable tragedy, Matilda's thirst for more is awoken like a slumbering beast. Her grief will turn her into a monster. A monster that will stop at nothing to protect the goblin's throne and bring suffering to all those that would dare try to claim it. Special thanks to @thisrosewillneverdie for the stunning covers and banner she made!
