She’s everything Ruth’s not; obstinate, disconnected, and incredibly certain of her path in life—that is, to end it. Everybody knows that the psychiatric hospital is no place to find love, and neither women are certain of their permanence, but that doesn’t stop Ruth and Noah from diving in. What has been unraveled can’t always be woven back together, but through trial and error, Ruth and Noah try to craft something new from the wreckage they found themselves in. But with a complicated cocktail of medicine, social workers, other patients, and trauma history, finding your place in yourself and in the world is never as easy as it seems.

Paperback Price:
Seven years ago, a Paladin married a Necromancer. It didn’t seem like a big deal back then, seeing as the world was ending. For better or worse, humanity survived. The extraplanar enemy was repelled, and the rifts in the Multiverse were patched up. In the ruins of the realm’s devastation, humanity recovered and rebuilt. Stuck in an uneasy marriage, Kassander and Silver couldn’t be less enthusiastic about the prospect. Perhaps it’s for the best that a noble house is slaughtered in what looks like a wine-soaked demonic ritual. At least solving crimes gives Kass and Silver something to do. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the multiverse and its deities – and, most importantly, their already fragile marriage. A dark fantasy mystery-romance. Paladin and Necromancer is a dark fantasy adventure packed with friendship and romance. You'll love Paladin and Necromancer if you're looking for: - DnD-inspired Fantasy - Dark themes - A tragic-comic tone - Disabled, non-binary, and neurodivergent characters in a Fantasy setting - A mature take on a complex relationship *Praise for "Paladin and Necromancer":* "The world building was amazing. There was so much history and detail yet you never feel like you're too deep in the weeds. There are tense moments where you fear for your favourite characters, and it's lovely that every character's motivations can be justified. No one is "good" or "evil" but each can condemn one another's actions for different reasons. Fantastic!" - Angelique Iles, author of Kentree's Stolen Souls. "I loved the world-building in this imaginative story where magic is key to survival, and the many rifts left behind in the war are a constant threat to new invasions. (...) The ending is immensely satisfying. A highly recommended read." - Debra Purdy Kong, author of The Opposite of Dark. "First and foremost, this a story about its characters. Through them, it provides a romantic story that is both dark and humorous, filled with characters who feel like real people." - W.A. Stanley, Reviewer for WAS.

The gods are disappearing. After he renounced his oath as Paladin, Kass thought he might finally get to go on a vacation. Tough luck. As usual, the world cares little about what he wants. For the sake of his former squires, trapped in a web of conspiracies, Kass walks back into the world of the divine. Lost in the remnants of a life he left behind, he knows how to quell the guilt and anxiety that threaten to pull him under. But will he have the strength to do it? Kass's journey continues in this epic fantasy romance-mystery that explores the limits of love and loyalty. ________________________________________________________________________ Adventures never end when they're supposed to. Silver escaped the clutches of her husband's god, but one day, she'll have to return. Her world is filled with everything she ever wanted, but none of it feels permanent. As she grapples with her new responsibilities as head of the mage guild, Silver once again finds herself torn between the needs of the few and the needs of the many. She knows what she must sacrifice to save everyone she loves. But will she have the strength to do it? Silver's journey continues in this epic fantasy romance-mystery that explores the consequences of hubris and freedom. *Praise for "Paladin and Necromancer II":* "This book is unlike anything I have read before. The relationship between Kass and Silver is new and fresh, the fight with oneself and with the Gods is without compare. The questions raised by the story echo the unanswered questions in our world. There is magic, danger, travel between universes, gods, and mages. Even in a world so full of fantasy elements, the story is grounded by a group of humans who are ambitious, flawed, and loving. Their pursuit of good for one another might spell disaster for society as a whole, just like our pursuit for individual success often comes at the sacrifice of others. Maybe society is better off- like any philosophical question, the answer depends on how you look at it. Warning: don't try to read this on your lunchbreak, it will be very hard to tear yourself away." - Angelique Iles, author of Kentree's Stolen Souls.

After a hundred years of watching humans make bad decisions, anyone would be sick of their job as peacekeeper. Reihan is no exception. Created to deal with humans who lose control over their manifestation abilities, she is more than ready for a vacation. Worse still, virtually all humans in the Travelling City can manifest. That is, they can shape reality according to every whim of their imagination. Keeping the peace among them would be more than enough to keep Reihan busy, but people like Phillippe manage to make things worse still, both for himself and for everyone around him. To improve his social standing, Phillippe drenched himself in the city’s collective subconscious and strengthened his inborn manifestation powers. Even though he shouldn’t be, he seems fine, crowned as the new star escort in the Brothel of Transformative Curiosities. Reihan has seen this story play out before. But Phillippe is far too charming, far too kind, and far too inconsolable for her to simply look away. The Travelling City is a dark fantasy mystery packed with romance and even more existential dread; set in a whimsical, bizarre and ever-changing world. You'll love the Travelling City if you're looking for: - Character-driven fantasy books - A queer approach to gender - Dark themes - A painfully beautiful world - A Grumpy and Sunshine romance dynamic - A magic system that reflects the characters' psychology - Ambiguous but ultimately lovable characters - Moral and existential philosophy *Praise for "The Travelling City":* "This is one of the most creative and imaginative worlds I've experienced in some time." - K.T. Munson, Author of Unfathomable Chance. "I read a lot of fantasy books, which sit within a variety of subgenres, yet it's rare that I read a book as fantastical as The Travelling City. This novel is packed full of whimsy and psychedelia, through which the author has crafted an entirely unique vision." - W.A. Stanley, Reviewer for WAS. "The idea of a floating city created by people's thoughts is both fascinating and terrifying (...) Adrienne Miller weaves an intricate tale of created people who are more human than some of the humans they serve. " - B.J. Sikes, author of The Archimedean Heart. "Wielding a psychedelic array of bizarre imagery and space-distorting magic, The Travelling City boasts a truly fantastical setting for readers to dive in to. In a world where humans can manifest new realities for themselves, Adrienne Miller tests the limits of how weird and unfamiliar she can make her debut world, and it's in this uniqueness that the book finds its shine [...] the indie space is blessed to have another author trying new things." - Epic Indie.

He Hears Death tells the morbid tale of an embalmer who can no longer hear the world as it is, but as Death does. Cursed with the ability to hear the voices of the deceased who linger in his quiet hometown, The Fool finds himself struggling to hold onto his sanity. Reeling from the murder of his Lover four years prior, he spends his days fixing up the dead and the nights sewing up his own damaged soul amidst the anxiety and loneliness in his life. His only safe haven is his apartment - the place where his Lover's spirit still lingers - but the trek home each night is a dangerous one indeed... A violent, malicious entity stalks the halls of the high-rise, and every time The Fool steps through his doorway he risks it being his last. Wrestling with his future, his desire for reunion, and his spiraling anxiety, The Fool's story is one of grief, loneliness, and lost love. His near-obsessive romance with the literal ghost of his past grows ever stronger as his inability to move on throttles his will to live until all hell breaks loose. When an unforeseen crisis hits the neighboring city, The Fool finds himself trapped within the confines of The Tower, forcing him to face not only the hell-bent monstrosity in the hall and Death's presence in the shadows, but the finality of life as he knew it.
