Warlock of Muscovy

By: Brien Feathers

Marina is the daughter of Tsar Alexander the Cruel, the most powerful warlock. She’s also a princess of the Court of White Rose. The only problem is that she’s mundane—she has no magic. On her sixteenth birthday Marina fled from her father’s tsardom to the revolutionist side of Muscovy, and five years later she’s doing all right, working as a seamstress in the United Workers’ Factory. Despite the political police, the never-ending witch hunt, and her best friend living as an orange cat, she’s happy. She gets along with her cottage mates and is even seeing a guy... until the city blows up, she’s implied in the sabotage, her guy turns out to be an enemy, her friends are murdered, and an alchemist maniac hunts her down for a blood vendetta. With the Red Army and the Alchemist Federation on her heels, Marina runs back to the Court of White Rose, but when death follows her home she must uncover a prophecy, reconcile with the warlock, and stop an oncoming war. It’s a tall order for a seamstress. The first book in the Sun War Trilogy, this intensely dark tale of magic and mayhem is full of grey characters that blur the line between good and evil. Content warning for strong language, graphic violence, and intimate situations.

Well Hexed - A Dixie Tricks Short

By: Jaime Munn

If you play with grimoires you're asking for trouble... MY WHAT A BIG GRIMOIRE YOU'VE GOT! Never read a page from a demon’s book! Trust me, you can’t stop once you start down that road. Hellbrarians won’t stop you, it’ll be someone like me who comes to collect. Meet Dixie. Make sure you're on her good side.

Lustre

By: Jaime Munn

Witch in haste... Witching for a living is hard. Witching after your werewolf girlfriend opts for ex is harder. Witching as an escape, now that's impossible. Just ask Nilla Hayes. It takes a special kind of very bad day to break the one rule that every witch has. Never—and I mean never, never—work for angels. If breaking up is hard to do, try it while hunting down a dream thief with a mean streak. Add in a very tight deadline courtesy of your unfriendly, neighbourhood supernatural, and even if the job is all expenses paid, it still amounts to a very, very bad day. You can't cash anything from the other side. When you witch in haste...your regrets might make the obituaries.

Bump

By: Jaime Munn

Be Careful Who You Witch For... Ever had that feeling—when you’re completely alone—that you’re being watched? I envy you. I see the watcher in an empty room, and I firmly believe ignorance would be bliss. Nilla Hayes has a problem. It isn’t the pretty werewolf she shouldn’t be attracted to. It isn’t that her best friend is trying to set her up, either. There are things going bump in the night and they all start with a wicked witch. Things would be a lot easier if Nilla could just turn a blind eye, but not all witches are bad. Now it’s war—and no one is safe when witches duel with magic.

Flicker

By: Jaime Munn

No sleep for the witch... Witchcraft comes with its share of thorns, and Asbelia—an almost goddess—is the sharpest of them all. Now, she’s bringing the darkest twists back to town. For Nilla, being a witch isn’t all fun and games. Not with a relentless stalker from the veiled world, where witches are just the appetiser and darker creatures lurk in the shadows. When Asbelia warns her to watch for something shaped like danger, Nilla doesn’t expect to find creepy shadow keys—or for her best friend to come terrifyingly close to a fatal encounter. Nilla Hayes is back! (As are her werewolf girlfriend Sofia, her not cat familiar F.C., her bestie Livia, the queer wolf pack that has her back and holds all her IOUs, and of course her fairy stalker...)

Gloam - A Witchlight Short

By: Jaime Munn

Tell a witch a lie... Nothing starts right after a glimpse of the corpse light. Nilla Hayes is having a bad day. She knows that someone is going to die, she's just not sure yet who that might be. She already knows it's going to be a tough Friday, but she's not prepared for what happens when she witches for a stranger. "Strong MC background, moves right along from the first sentence, and great supporting characters throughout."

The Forgotten Flame

By: Rea Alexandris

A kingdom on the edge of war. A girl marked by fire. A love that could destroy them both. Kaelara Veylin was never meant to wield magic. In a land where power is forbidden, she should have lived and died as a blacksmith’s daughter. But when a single spark ignites a rebellion, she is thrust into a world of dark intrigue, royal deception, and ancient magic that refuses to stay buried. Her abilities make her a target—hunted by the Iron Guard, sought after by those who would use her flame as a weapon. With war brewing and her power growing dangerously unstable, Kaelara finds herself torn between paths: A rebellion that sees her as their savior. A kingdom that would see her burned. And a forbidden connection with Dain Arvath—a Prince bound by duty, but drawn to her fire. As her flames burn brighter and the gods whisper of her destiny, Kaelara must decide: Will she become a force of salvation… or the spark that turns Aeryndor to ash? Perfect for fans of: Romantic Fantasy with Action & Adventure Slow-Burn, Enemies-to-Lovers Romance Epic Magic, Rebellion, and Betrayal Fallen Gods, Forbidden Power, and a Heroine Who Refuses to Kneel Not Your Typical Romantasy This is not a fast-paced, spice-filled romantasy—this is an immersive, slow-burning fantasy with lyrical prose, lush worldbuilding, and an intricate, emotional journey.

The Shattered Crown

By: Rea Alexandris

A kingdom torn apart. A power she can’t control. A love that will either save her… or ruin her. Kaelara Veylin never asked to be the last Flamebearer. Burdened by ancient magic, a fractured rebellion, and a prophecy that may destroy her, she is forced to rise—or watch Aeryndor crumble into ashes. Dark forces from the Iron Guard and the forbidden depths of the Shadowplane threaten to consume the realm.

Unwaveringly loyal to the cause—and to her. Their chemistry is undeniable, but desire is dangerous in a world where trust can be a weapon. He challenges her, tempts her, and makes her burn in ways she never expected—but can they survive the war closing in around them?

The Veil of Shadows

By: Rea Alexandris

A cursed flame. A seductive god. And a destiny that could destroy her—or make her divine. Kaelara Veylin was never meant to be a hero—or a weapon. But when a Veil-bound chalice fractures her magic, it awakens something ancient. Dangerous. All-consuming. A god of shadow. Possessive. Manipulative. Obsessively drawn to her. He doesn’t beg for her loyalty—he claims it. Body, power, soul. And those she loves? He sees them only as obstacles in his path to her. Because Kaelara is torn—between the one who anchored her, and the one who haunts her thoughts. Between the boy who would die for her… and the god who refuses to let anyone else touch what he considers his. And as her fire begins to fracture—tinged now with shadows—so does the line between desire and ruin. Now the realms are crumbling. The gods are waking. And Kaelara must decide who she is willing to become: the savior of her people, or the vessel of something ancient and vengeful. Because in the end? He will tear realms apart to have her. And she may burn everything to let him. This book is for readers who crave: Dark romantasy with emotionally complex, morally gray characters Possessive gods, obsessive slow burns, and fated love twisted by shadow Tension-laced enemies-to-lovers with power-play dynamics Torn-between-loves, love triangle tension, and dangerous devotion A fierce female protagonist with unstable magic and a kingdom to save Forbidden magic, rebellion, and gods that do not stay buried The Veil of Shadows is Book 3 out of 5 in The Chronicles of Aeryndor, a sweeping fantasy romance series of betrayal, destiny, and forbidden power. This isn’t a love triangle. It’s a war for her soul.
