I am Princess Carlen Seepsen and I hate my life. My sisters keep making me act all prim and proper for high society, my father barely realizes I exist, and the high and mighty Edwart (Ahem, Edward) keeps insisting he's a gift to me. Oh, and I almost drowned because my family's ship sank. In a storm. On my sixteenth birthday. Except I didn't. A young man with a perfect chest, sea-green eyes, and a deep, delicious voice just pulled me to shore. I guess that part wasn't so bad. But did he have a fin? But now everything's falling apart. Something's in the ocean. Something, or someone, is sending storms to my kingdom and collapsing our society. And now my father's about to marry me off to (gasp) Edwart to keep me safe. When a sorceress offers me a chance to visit the king of the undersea kingdom, I've got to act. Running away means leaving my kingdom to ruin and worse, spending the next fifty years with a moron noble. But agreeing to the deal might cost me so much more than I ever imagined. Salty is a reverse retelling of The Little Mermaid. It is part of the Reverse Fairytale series, but each book of this series can be read alone and out of order. Other upcoming titles of this series include Ugly and Worthless, which are retellings of Cinderella and Aladdin and have been published before in the corresponding Kingdom of Fairytales boxsets.

It's not easy being the ugly stepsister. Not even when the daughter of your dead stepfather, Syndie, is worked to the bone and you're "lucky." Because I, Ellia, am anything but. Mother hounds me constantly to lose weight. Look nice. Impress the men. And now, I am to woo Prince Calvin, who is holding a ball to find a new bride. And Mother won't listen when I warn her that beautiful and demure Syndie has magic and is plotting our deaths. And once married, Prince Calvin will become a tyrant. To save myself and the kingdom, I must join with a handsome, defecting guard, Jasper. Even if he'll find me ugly. Even if he has secrets of his own. Because the only way to eliminate Calvin is get him and Syndie together before the stroke of midnight. That's when a cursed slipper will reveal their true natures before the kingdom. They deserve each other. But do I deserve Jasper, and will the truth doom me or set me free?

"You're a thief. Dishonorable. Good for nothing." Though my mother never says those words out loud, I know who I am: Alani, a girl dressed as a boy, stealing from the rich of our sultanate. A girl who refuses to marry. A girl who will keep her independence even if I die from it. And now, I just might. I've stolen from the most savage noble family in the city and they're out for blood. And my only chance at redemption is by going on a quest with a mystery aunt to retrieve a rare lamp for the royal family. Only she's not really my aunt. And this lamp holds a secret. The spirit inside has an agenda that will force me to become more than I imagined and maybe, just maybe, shove me into the arms of the prince. But even now, life is no fairy tale. Someone else wants this lamp...and for me to die. Can I survive and keep a wall around my heart?
