The Silent Prince
C. J. Brightley
“Words can’t properly express how much I enjoyed this. I especially loved the attention to detail that went into the culture shock Kai faced. I don’t think I’ve ever read a Little Mermaid retelling that was this thorough, and it really set it apart. Seeing the world through Kai’s eyes made me see so many things that I’ve taken for granted.
Everything about the story was perfection. The characters, the story progression…but Kai. UGH. His character was a thing of beauty. Hilariously (and endearingly) arrogant and confident—I couldn’t help but laugh at his dialogue (which no one understood)—his personality was just SO good! And his gradual change felt so natural. We all know how the Little Mermaid ends, but throughout the book, I couldn’t help but worry: Which version will it be based on??? The one where she dies, or lives happily ever after?? Ladies and gents, I was INVESTED. With his heart in his eyes, how could you not fall in love with him?” – Jillian

The Frost and the Flame
C. J. Brightley
“A reimagining of Pride and Prejudice unlike any I’ve ever seen. I never thought I’d enjoy spending so much time following someone as rigid and cold as Willowvale, but here I am, a hardcore Willowvale fan, on the edge of my seat to see if he saves the fiery Fair maiden and wins her heart. The Frost and the Flame is full of sparkling prose and vibrant characters, all against the backdrops of tense politics and quiet afternoon teas.” – Constance

When a fairy king grants a human wish, there’s more at stake than dreams.
Claire Delaney has a good life, despite her adolescent angst. But she wants more. In a moment of frustration, she wishes to be “the hero.”
What she actually wants is to be the center of attention, but what she gets is a terrifying Fae king demanding that she rescue an imprisoned fairy, facing fantastical dangers and hardships she could not have imagined.
Yet the dreams–and the rescue–are only the beginning of her journey. She is at the center of the king’s audacious gamble to end the war that has raged in Faerie for half a century.
