There wasn’t a single dancer in the kingdom of Castia better than Carin, or rather Carin’s red shoes. While her skills might not be her own, Carin certainly didn’t mind since her deception meant the whole court adores her. However, when a mysterious wizard comes to court and takes a particular interest in her shoes, Carin’s position is not quite so secure. She’s not willing to give up all the fame, not for any price in the world, but she just might make a powerful enemy in the process. Trying to keep up the act isn’t easy when the youngest prince starts to show up everywhere she goes as well. With a curious prince on one side and a deranged wizard on the other, how is she going to keep the court from finding out she’s a fraud? Is she willing to sacrifice her life to keep the truth from coming out?

Magic isn’t a solution; it’s a trap. If Aurelia comes across magic, she’s supposed to run in the other direction. Life is no longer so simple. If the tower door opens, and she doesn’t have any gold, her life will be forfeit. No one is going to help her, not even her closest friend. No one, except for the mysterious stranger who appeared on her doorstep and in her tower room. If she takes the deal, she might live, but what will she sacrifice in order to do it? Sandor’s worlds collided when Aurelia was brought before King Eadric. Is he truly so desperate to get out of debt, he’s willing to believe such nonsense as a girl who can spin straw into gold? She’s Sandor’s closest friend. If Aurelia were a witch, he would know it. It’s impossible, or so he thought. Nothing makes sense anymore, but Sandor’s determined to figure it out and save Aurelia from the king. The more he learns, the more he wonders, is the king the real threat, or is there something more dangerous lurking in the shadows?

There is still worth in broken things. With the end of her mourning period approaching, Princess Eirwen of Glaciar knows her time is up. Her aunt, Queen Regent Isolde, is going to strike soon, but Eirwen’s ready—as ready as one can be for their own assassination. As soon as Eirwen is out of the way, there will be nothing left to stop Isolde from taking over Glaciar. With no allies, no plan, and a paltry amount of magic, Eirwen has no idea how she’s going to pull off a coup, but what other choice does she have? As the youngest of seven, Prince Sterling of Idres is used to being overlooked at best and criticized at worst, but none of it bothers him. Nothing ever does. While he is generally uninterested in the world, when Princess Eirwen of Glaciar is mysteriously kidnapped, he takes notice while no one else seems to care. However, when he discovers Snow White, the street performer who just so happens to sound a lot like the missing princess, he’s sufficiently intrigued. What is she doing in Idres, and what does it have to do with him?

The only way to survive is to be brutal. Aerona is a beast whose sole purpose is to protect the only fairies left. She won't let anyone threaten them, so when a hunter tries to take her down and discovers the fairies in the process, Aerona has no choice but to take him captive to protect the secret. While she wants nothing to do with him, when he discovers her human-like form, it’s no longer as easy. How long will she be able to fight her desire to be human again? Chasen owes a debt to a dangerous wizard, and his family will pay the price if he doesn’t deliver. Fortunately, all Chasen has to do is capture the Beast. With an enchanted cloak protecting him, it seems simple enough until things go very wrong. Now he has to figure out how to capture the Beast with no weapons, no plan, and fairies watching his every move. He has to win the Beast’s trust, but he’s never been good at deception and manipulation. With his sister’s life on the line, he can’t fail, but how will he live with himself if he succeeds?

Traitors don’t fall in love with princes, and they don’t live happily ever after. Liora doesn't have much left in life, but someone has to run the stall in the market that sells her stepfamily’s enchanted matches. Liora is willing to do anything for family; it’s not very exciting—until the royal family visits the market and everything changes. Liora is just grateful that Prince Cynrik doesn't remember her. The best thing for her and her stepfamily is to stay far away from the royals. But when Prince Cynrik asks for her help, how can she say no? But if she fails to keep her identity hidden, how far will the royal family go this time? Prince Cynrik has a carefully crafted reputation, and it has never once failed him… up until it causes his brother to threaten him with an arranged marriage. The only way out of it is to prove he's capable of doing something useful; the catch is he has to do it alone. When a freak accident seems to be not-so-accidental, getting help can’t hurt as long as his brother doesn't find out about it. Besides, who would imagine that a prince would need the help of a girl who sold matches to solve a conspiracy? And… just how deep does it go?

Criminals don't get second chances. Not ones like her. Piper does what the Red Enchanter tells her to do even if it involves breaking out prisoners, causing storms, or kidnapping children with her enchanted fife. Her own morals don’t matter anymore. She only has two years left until she’s done doing his dirty work—if she doesn't get caught. After a chance encounter, Prince Valens starts to show up everywhere she goes, far too curious for her comfort. If she’s arrested, then every horrible thing she’s done over the last few years will have been for nothing, but how long can she avoid the conscience Prince Valens stirs in her mind—or worse her heart? Prince Valens has never stood still a day in his life, so when he’s given the chance to investigate a string of unexplained disasters and amnesia cases, he doesn’t hesitate. It also doesn’t hurt when he keeps running into a mysterious girl in a red coat, until he starts to wonder why she’s connected to all of these cases. Valens has always loved the chase, but he never realized how easy it was to fall instead. Every encounter with Piper leaves him breathless and reeling. As much as he wants to help her, he can’t let her get away with her crimes, but… what if she’s the key to something so much bigger?

Good men can't love cruel women. Lady Gisele lost everything when her father was convicted of treason. She was supposed to become a princess, have the court dance to the songs she sang, and trapped in the webs of gossip she spun. Now all the years she’d spent amassing that power was for nothing. When she’s presented with the chance to get everything she ever wanted, she’ll take it—even when it’s a life-threatening undercover mission in the Esmean Empire. Even when it involves the most infuriating man she’s ever met. She’s desperate enough to risk her life, but is she desperate enough to lose her heart? Taking his cousin’s identity to uncover a supposedly empire-shattering secret didn’t sound so bad to Lord Hakim, until he ended up stuck with the most insufferable woman he’s ever met. Now he has to pretend to be married to her while also keeping her from realizing that he’s not just her fake husband but also the lord of the estate they’re staying at. While they chase a secret that could change the world, Hakim has to wrestle with more than one unfortunate truth along the way. Maybe Gisele isn’t what he first thought she was, and that without her, does he even stand a chance at surviving at all?

She’ll die if she touches a rose. He turns everything he touches into gold. Together, they just might be able to save both of their countries. Lady Ro was supposed to be the luckiest girl in the empire, betrothed to the crown prince despite her curse. That was until the man who tried to kidnap her reveals her entire life is a lie, but even the truth doesn’t make sense. If she’s the heir to a throne, why had she been cursed by an ally? Ro doesn’t know who she is anymore, but she’ll take the only man who has been honest with her and go looking for answers. After discovering years of lies and manipulation, she’s determined not to let anyone use her again. But with a rebellion on one end of the empire and an invasion on the other, does Ro have any choice but to be their puppet? Midas was sent to capture the crown prince’s betrothed and hold her hostage to give his country a chance against the empire’s invasion. He didn’t expect she’d be a princess that was supposed to be dead with a rebellion brewing in her name. He knows better than anyone what it’s like to be cursed. While he has no hope of finding answers, Ro does. He just can’t let himself fall in love with her. With a golden touch, closeness is a tragedy. Can he be Ro’s right-hand man without condemning them both?

She went to sleep knowing she would never wake up. He will do anything to save her. Rosalia knew she had condemned herself to death. She accepted that, but what she hadn’t anticipated was to be stuck in this in between, able to see the room around her and unable to leave it. But then the sister she had written off as a lost cause shows up… How can Rosalia keep her scheduled death on track when she’s a ghost? Midas’ worst nightmares came true when Rosalia sacrificed herself. Her final request was he break the curse to end the war and ensure her people’s freedom. While she’s asleep, there’s still work he has to do as her right-hand man. While he’s focused on trying to save a people who only ever saw him as a sacrifice, he doesn’t dare hope he’ll find answers on how to break his curse and give him a way to save Rosalia… does he? But if Midas can’t save Rosalia without killing her… maybe Aerona can. Only someone who truly loves Rosalia can break the curse… But after everything Aerona has been through, everything she’s done to the people she was supposed to love, is she even capable of it anymore? There’s only one thing more dangerous than Rosalia’s curse holding the empire hostage: The hope it can be can broken in any way that doesn’t end with a gold statue left in its wake.

An exiled witch. A desperate knight. A scheme for revenge on all who wronged her. The last thing Morgana had expected to show up on her lake’s shore was her brother’s most loyal companion, Lancelot. Especially looking for a wizard that has been dead for a year. He finds her instead. Although, when she discovers why he was looking for a magical solution, a plan begins to form. Her brother is dying, and it isn’t by her hand. That simply cannot be allowed. Lancelot came looking for a miracle. If pretending she has it means she can have revenge on Arthur, it’s almost too easy. Or… it was supposed to be easy until she accidentally saves him instead. Having her brother’s trust means she just might be able to salvage her scheme… even with the added complication of Lancelot being assigned to watch her every move. Can she get her revenge without losing a heart she didn’t think she had anymore?
