A fast-paced comedy/fantasy adventure starring a sassy female warrior striving to break a curse.
Regaining your youth isn't all it's cracked up to be.
At 23 years old, expert mercenary Willa Lang isn't exactly old to begin with, so she's less than thrilled when an 'undeserved' curse turns her back into a younger version of herself. A MUCH younger version - meaning she now looks like a six-year-old. Willa needs to turn herself back to normal, and quickly. But the woman who cursed her is being a complete witch, insisting that Willa show herself to be kind, generous and unselfish before she'll lift the curse.
Kind generous and unselfish... Go on a quest and help a few people. It can't be that hard, right?
Wrong.
A light-hearted comedic fantasy that will appeal to fans of Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones

Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy.

And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son.

The Blood of Amietta
A loner with a bad attitude and a misplaced princess are forced to work together to free themselves from a hitchstone, a magical jail cell powerful enough to trap an entire town. Mila Wilde had no idea what she was getting herself into when she decided to take a peek inside of a strange metal box. Or maybe she did- she can't remember. Either way, it's a decision that she can't take back. Without her memories, Mila has no choice but to place her trust in Noelani, a spoiled princess from a faraway land. A task easier said than done. Between practicing her newfound magic and figuring out her complicated past, Mila finds that she is quite reluctant to leave the princess's side. Even if that means forgetting about the family she's been trying to locate since she was twelve. Blood is thicker than water. At least that's what her mother taught her- but Mila isn't so sure about that anymore. Not when her mother is against the only thing that has ever made her feel powerful. And the only person that Mila would ever trust with her life. Maybe it's time for a new lesson. Sometimes broken things can't be mended. Mila can feel it in her blood.Complete

While the hook-nosed witch is busy trying to be a new mother, the old witch grows lonely and despondent, and the witch with the awful voice disappears without a trace... Could she be hiding some big secret? One day, the hook-nosed witch hears a strange rumor that the old witch has died at the hands of humans and rushes to her friend's house, where she discovers what appears to be the old witch's body. Meanwhile, the daughter she has so lovingly raised suddenly runs away. Furious, the hook-nosed witch travels to a faraway island in search of the missing child, whereupon she finds the witch with the awful voice sporting a new voice, a new look, and even a whole new personality. 'The Three Witches and the Untold Tale' reveals the stories that were previously absent from the fairy tales we all know and love-that is, the true stories behind the changes the three witches go through in their lives and who, far from being evil beings that go around doing terrible deeds, are incredibly human.
