The town of Belltou rarely meets conflict or disruption thanks to the efforts of the Belltou Vanguard, an organisation of self appointed warriors to defend the town from threats. However, that is changed when Artemis Vesper, the newest member of the vanguard, ignores the decades old warning of her ancestors and opens a strange box. This act unleashes a curse upon Artemis; she must forever be followed by the demon Azrael, who will consistently attempt to coach her into committing horrible deeds. Regretful of her actions, Artemis decides to leave her home and locate a way to undo the curse and seal Azrael away once again. Artemis forms an unlikely band of fellow travellers along the way; she must cooperate with Azrael, Turlon, Ursula, Stephen, Lilith, Takahaki, MJ, Emerson, Eliza, Tohru and Elyan to achieve her goal.
Unbeknownst to the group, they will become involved in many life threatening situations and meet friend and foe during their quest towards the mysterious city of sand.

The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed. She was born an anomaly, the one Verlockan citizen without those grotesque features the curse brings; her skin is smooth and white as milk, keeping her immune from the curse's claws. When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.

*Watty's 2018 Longlist* Her world is divided into two realms: the poor and the magical. To be chosen and sent into Istoria to live out a fairytale character's life is the highest honor. For Blyss Bannon, a young woman with enough problems of her own, being sent to Istoria means a miserable life and a bloody death. With one month to find a way to erase her predetermined destiny, Blyss sets out into the mysterious Istoria and finds herself in a fight for survival against the lurking evil surrounding her. Along the way, she enlists the help of two off-beat fairytale creatures and a charming young man with a few uncanny secrets of his own. With each passing day, Blyss struggles to decide whether she should accept her fate or stand firm in what she knows to be true. The clock is ticking down for her to prove to herself, and to the adamant world around her, that evil will not prevail and that goodness is always stronger.
