Myth says the Guardians ended the Sorcery War by draining all sorcerers of their powers, or killing them. The Guardians then vanished without a trace – and so did magic. But the myths are wrong. Magic wielders lived on in hiding. Now Sorcerer King Nartzeer is recruiting them, in a world that hates and fears their power.��Terrorised by Nartzeer’s pre-emptive strike, Ruarnon’s Guardian-descent-claiming allies set sail to annihilate Nartzeer. Ruarnon hopes to free their family from Nartzeer’s clutches first, but Ruarnon’s uncle won’t abandon the army he commands to slavery.��Linh is killing two birds with one stone, using her role as Ruarnon’s envoy to potential allies to track down sorcerers to open her magic gateway home. She learns that Nartzeer is rallying a sorcery army while his neighbours mobilise against him, and sorcerers whose awesome power Nartzeer’s ideology undermines, the dreaded God Kings are stirring.��With sorcerers on all fronts marching towards mutually assured destruction, Linh and Ruarnon race to reach Nartzeer with the truth of magical ancestry and allegiance, hoping to unite people who are not so different before they utterly destroy each other.

BOOKBUB – The Other Side of Together by Emily Cox and Nicole Allen
An evocative story of first love, possibility, and rewriting our destinies, this YA romance captures the ache of Laura Nowlin with a romantic innocence reminiscent of Jenny Han.
Marcus is destined for big things. He’s a star soccer player, a straight-A student, and gorgeous beyond the hopes of most girls. Especially since they’re off limits. Because of his detective dad’s painful past with women, Marcus made a bet with him to avoid girls until after high school. So far, so good.
Mei Li’s world is anything but bright. She’s a pawn in a dangerous game to keep her and her family in America but dreams of a very different life. However, dreams turn to fear when she discovers the guy she’s supposed to trust with her heart is more disturbed than she could ever imagine.
Even though Mei Li and Marcus live around the corner from each other in San Francisco’s Chinatown, the only thing they have in common is a trolley stop. Until the day they step through the same shop door and into a new possibility.
What starts as secret notes and texts quickly becomes a desperate attempt to be together. But together is impossible. Opposing futures, a tangle of dark connections, and one big secret come between them, forcing them to risk their safety for love or leave the possibility of together behind forever.

We’re Emily Cox and Nicole Allen, and our book The Other Side of Together will be released in January 2024 by Monster Ivy Publishing. We’ve been co-writing “Clean Steam” YA novels for twelve years and have been picked up, dropped, hopeful, and discouraged but always fearless.

Emily Cox is a fast-walking cloud watching, big thinker who believes in aliens, has superior hearing, a mostly-titanium face, and a rhyming maiden and married name (Box-Cox). She lives in Utah in a house of all boys and two fluffy writing assistants. She had a hard time choosing only one dream job so she has three: counselor, teen social/emotional wellness coach, and author. She loves to plan all kinds of trips then take them, read multiple books at a time, and explore new places, cultures, and ideas.  The inside of her head is the craziest place she’s ever dared explore.

Nicole Allen is a crime podcast junkie, travel enthusiast, and Diet Coke addict who not-so-secretly hopes heaven looks exactly like Disneyland’s Main Street U.S.A. She fills her head with and likes to share useless, random facts and news headlines, has crazy-vivid dreams almost nightly, believes in karma, but is skeptical about dinosaurs (sorry paleontologists). When she’s not writing novels, she loves acting in and watching live theater, is president of a local theater company and runs a youth theater group. She resides in Utah with her supportive rockstar husband (and webmaster), three amazing kids, and two adorable cats.

A fantastic read for fans of Beauty and the Beast, the Descendants, Cruel Prince, and GOT. This spellbinding fantasy romance series follows four teens from the adversarial realms of humans, fae, werewolves, and dragon shifters into their inaugural year at the enchanted Bastion Academy.
Lies.
Betrayal.
Treason.
Amelia of Avonlee wants nothing more desperately than to earn the freedom denied to her since birth. Hell-bent on distancing herself from the prince of the warrior wolves, she will stop at nothing to end her betrothal. Even if it takes convincing her feisty cousin, Cora, to aid her in a potentially treasonous quest.
Prince Dane of Carpathia arrives at the Bastion determined to dominate the academy’s competitive arenas and show their longtime rivals what the wolves are really made of. He quickly finds his world turned upside down by one little word. Fate.Desperate times call for desperate measures, and with pressures from the outer realms mounting, a magically binding contract with the Necromancer’s devious daughter, Kessara, might be his only hope. That is if she doesn’t destroy him first.
The stakes couldn’t be higher as the young nobles from the seven kingdoms of dragons, wolves, humans, and fae gather together for the first time. Fragile treaties between the once adversarial realms will be tested, and in this newly formed academy, only one thing is certain; not everyone has come to promote peace.
GOT and LOTR meet Pride and Prejudice as book one of the Kingdom of Seven Sovereigns series follows four noble teens into their inaugural year at the Bastion academy.

Cupids are thought to be jovial creatures, sent to help humans find their perfect love match.

Seraphina is far from the jovial type. Quick to find her temper rather than the serenity her sisters possess, she’s about to be given the test of her eternal life.

Seth Maxwell is a hockey superstar. The best in the world. From the Olympics to the league he plays on, he’s become a household name. But not in a good way. Known for not being a team player and ending up in one scandal after another with starlets, Seth needs a massive makeover.

And we aren’t talking about his looks.

Unfortunately for Seraphina, this isn’t her first encounter with the hockey player. Not that he would remember any of it.

They say the third time is the charm and Seraphina is determined now more than ever before to prove she has what it takes to help a man she’s failed in the past.

Let’s just hope Seth is willing to get off that pedestal he’s placed himself on to see what a good thing Seraphina is helping guide him to.

Forget the mythical bow and arrow, Seraphina is about to pull out all the stops to make Seth’s love connection stick.

In the search for peace, a mercenary becomes a prince…

In the foreign land of Illena, Leo finds himself with the offer of a country at his feet. With his siblings in tow, he spends his days navigating a new world of finery set on pushing his family out. As the ghost of a brother left behind and the thoughts of a girl who refused to escape never cease to haunt him, the weight of a country hangs heavily over his head.

As Lady Death follows close behind, they must distinguish friend from foe…

When a group of criminals take interest in Leo and his siblings, they must decide whether to trust the people who mirror their former lives in Somereil or turn towards the Bloodlines—Illena’s elite—and start anew. Leo is finally able to fall into an easy trust with his new allies, but he soon discovers a truth that tears his family apart and forces him to choose between his head and his heart.

Will he save his family or his people when the world starts to burn?

Just as Leo begins to see a future in Illena, past enemies soon emerge from the darkness with a promise of blood. While he and his family fight for their freedom, it becomes impossible to find a haven to protect the little they have left. When fierce foes tear those Leo cares about from his grip, his mind begins to sink deeper into despair. Will he overcome the odds and be the hero Illena desperately needs, or will he fuel the flames consuming the peace they’d given so much to attain and become the monster they always feared?

Ayla Marie is a Canadian high school student whose love for fantasy started when she was twelve and hasn’t dulled since. She will read any book you put in front of her—textbooks do not count—especially when they have action packed storylines and a romantic subplot that makes you want to read as fast as you can, while wishing it would never end. Though writing, reading, and studying take up most of her time—or all her time according to her younger brother—she always manages to find space in her schedule to play some soccer and hang out with friends and family. Her goofy dog and two cats are her biggest fans, and though she could have done without the constantly interrupting barks and meows, she loves their annoying presence very much.

The Blood Prince is her debut novel, but she plans to write many more, deepening her love for writing and literature with every page.

A breathtaking historical fantasy placed in a rich setting reminiscent of Tuck Everlasting with whimsical magic like the films of Hayao Miyazaki.

Is magic a gift…

or a curse?

In a quaint early 20th century farm town, young Elbert enjoys his ordinary life with his ordinary family.

Or so he thinks. One day, a burning sensation digs into his chest, gentle breezes chafe his skin, and water stings. Soon, feathers sprout across his body.

He discovers magic in the hills, mighty creatures lurking near the river. And Elbert might be one of them. But only he can decide whether to grow the magic spark within himself or let it snuff out.

This poignant story follows a boy struggling with self doubt and grief, and the ones who give him hope enough to break a curse.

Genre – YA, Supernatural
Page Count – 461
Cover Designer – Caleb Staker, Lenore Stutznegger

Wednesday meets High School Musical in this thrilling magical mystery debut, perfect for readers who enjoy the humor of Holly Smale and the mystical world of Rachel Hawkins. Behind the glistening lights of New Orleans hides a darker underbelly, a mysterious world filled with voodoo, magic, necromancy, and gifted people like sixteen-year-old CeCe LeBlanc.

Drama geek by day. Necromancer detective by night.

ACT ONE: CeCe LeBlanc debuts at drama camp. Goodbye to nights talking to the dead, reliving their murders to seek justice. Hello to scene-stealing performances and playing plastic bags in the wind.

ACT TWO: Enter stage right, hunky love interest Zach Wren, who puts the drama in drama camp. Suddenly CeCe’s questioning her “no cliché camp romance” philosophy. The moment she and Zach touch, the intoxicating energy of his magic pulses through her, and sparks fly. The problem? Zach feels it too, and he’s sworn off all things magic.

INTERMISSION: Behind the curtain lurks an evil magic caster, desperate to steal CeCe’s power, haunting her dreams and threatening those she loves. Add in another death and she’s trading in her plastic bags for body bags.

Time is running out, and the danger closes in. No one is safe until she can crack the case.

ACT THREE: CeCe must catch the killer, save her budding romance, and protect the people she loves. All before the final bow. With co-stars like these, what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing a necromantic, drama loving girl can’t handle.

The shadows come out at night …

As a sheltered eighteen-year-old, who lives in one of the safest communities in America, protected from vampires, witches, shapeshifters and, most importantly, shadowbringers, I should be content, right?

Wrong. I’m bored out of my mind. And I can’t help but wonder what is outside my cage, especially when a group of mysterious new kids show up at our school. One in particular is a gorgeous boy who will help me achieve my dreams … but for his own personal gain.

I am going to get all the answers I ever hoped for, and then some, but the cost is high. Why? Because it turns out that I unknowingly carry my father’s secret within me, and it will literally be the death of me …

If only I could hide in the shadows that I fear.

My Murder Year by Kate Larkindale
Genre – YA, LGQBT
Page Count – 309
Cover Designer – Jay Aheer

Seventeen-year-old Stas Nonu has nothing more to worry about than looking like an oversized pumpkin in the bridesmaid dress her mother picked out for her wedding to her long-time partner, Mama K. Her father’s newfound religious beliefs are annoying and starting to cramp her style, but nothing to be really concerned about. Besides, Zane, the new guy she met at that party is way more interesting. 

When Stas finds her mothers dead body in a pool of blood, and evidence points to her father as the murderer, she realizes how uncomplicated things were before.

Especially when two aunts shes never met fly from her mothers native Russia and start talking about her coming to live with them. Then her fathers brother shows up with his own reasons for why Stas should live with him.

Unable to face the tug of war between her relatives, or the devastating effect its having on her beloved Mama K, Stas turns to Zane for comfort. But their increasing closeness is not enough to allow Stas to escape the reality of her fractured family.

If Stas cant figure out a way to prove Mama K is as much her mother as the woman who gave birth to her, she might find herself banished to Siberia. Or somewhere even worse.

Death consumes all, but even it spit out Camden Callahan.
In the years since his father’s betrayal, 19-year-old pirate, Cam, has done the unimaginable to keep his true identity a secret. When a desperate gamble gets his crew slaughtered and his captain kidnapped, Cam wakes from the ashes of their ship, gifted with newfound powers and a fresh start in life.
But with the fate of his captain—the only one who knows Cam’s past—uncertain, he must infiltrate an island run by an overzealous doctor, and his deadly followers, before the captain spills Cam’s truth to the world, ripping away his last chance at freedom.
Even beneath the tropical sun, shadows thrive as dark deals are struck, forcing Cam to confront old foes—both within and without—as time runs out.
On this island, wearing his old name may be the only way Cam can keep himself, his captain, and his new allies alive. Doing so, though, would mean choosing to face death—and his father—a second time.

Rose Trewin went in search of a ruin and found a clan instead; people she didn’t know were alive.

She must travel to the strange southern land to hunt him. To kill him. To be an assassin once again.

King Micah Ellsworth’s country is at a tipping point. He returned from the south after fighting the trespassers that attacked his people and he expected a hero’s welcome. He finds, instead, a rising religious group is dividing his people and fighting against those with magic. King Micah is without a queen and with his country facing a famine in the spring and hate in the streets, he must fight to stop the brewing unrest.

Rose and the king both must sacrifice to save their people.
They just don’t realize how much they have to lose.

BOOKBUB – Coming Soon

Growing up on the proverbial “wrong side of the tracks” gave me a long list of bullies and a short list of friends. I spent most of my childhood days thinking of creative ways to escape the dirty pit that was Palmer, Georgia, until a new kid showed up on the first day of fifth grade and gave me every reason to stay.

But as my rotten luck would have it, he disappeared two years later without a word, leaving me with a million unanswered questions and an irreparable hole in my thirteen year-old heart.

Fast forward to five years post-betrayal, and I’ve gone from Palmer trailer park to Atlanta mansion, secondhand clothes to straight off the runway, and bullies now kiss the ground beneath my Gucci-covered feet.

Reigning supreme at my new prestigious high school, I was counting down the days until graduation when the keeper of all my secrets walked back into my life and threatened to knock this queen right off her throne. What he doesn’t know is that I’ll gladly retire my crown. All he has to do is promise me forever.

Not hers, her mother’s.

With no father named on baby Harry’s birth certificate and their mother sinking into despair, Claire finds herself knee deep in diapers, streams of baby barf, and mountains of laundry. Not only does Harry rob Claire of her freedom, but also her future when her mother uses her college funds for day care.

Claire’s uncle offers to replenish the funds on the condition Harry is given up for adoption. With a troubled and unstable mother, Claire must take control and choose: trade Harry for money and return to her former life, or fight for him.

The damars’ human handlers are lost Aussie Linh’s chance to confirm that her gateway home —and sorcerers able (and hopefully willing) to operate it— lie in the dangerous West.

When Linh sets sail to confront the handlers, she learns that magic is very much still wielded on Umarinaris. That some of the Sorcery War’s deadliest weapons survived. And that Nartzeer somehow knows all of this, and has his own plans for those weapons.

But is Nartzeer the villain everyone in the East believes? What do his fleets truly seek in the Eastern Seas? And why have the damars become so formidable that they threaten to sink Ruarnon’s ship and overrun all of Ruarnon’s potential allies?

During the eighth grade, she was forced to leave school to work and provide for her younger brothers. At the age of nineteen, she moved to Texas and began her careers in the restaurant and real estate businesses. During her life, she was diagnosed with seven different cancers and fought against melanoma for 25 years. A Native American seer and shaman, she had a passion for art, poetry, and stories. She wrote at her ranch near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, hoping that Red With Native Blood would help reservation students embrace their heritage. Marjorie died of pneumonia on July 12, 2004.
