When Rosamunde turned thirteen, she had to pass a test from the Faerie Court in order to gain the powers of a witch. But her simple test just got turned on its head when a mysterious old woman appeared and offered her a choice. Rosa can accept the old woman’s offer of forbidden power—or face deadly monsters. A human girl could never deal with magical dangers on her own, but getting help from anyone else is strictly against the rules of the test. Will Rosa risk her life to gain the magic she’s always wanted? This short story is a prequel to Small Town Witch, book 1 of the Fae of Calaveras trilogy, and can be enjoyed at any point in the series.

The perfect life . . . or the perfect lie. Teen witch Rosamunde thinks she has it all: friends, parties, a happy family, and magic at her fingertips. But something dark lurks underneath the surface. When Rosa uncovers strange spells in her house, the illusion of the perfect life begins to crack, hinting at family secrets she never imagined. With the help of her friends and the handsome kitsune Kai, Rosa peels back the layers of lies. Her search for the truth will take her far from home, into the dangerous Land of Faerie . . . but if the truth threatens her family’s apparent happiness, will she choose to live with the lie or break the enchantment that binds them all?

She wished her mom would disappear. Now her mom’s missing, and all she wants is to find her again. Teen witch Rosamunde broke the spell her mother, Rosmerta, used to control her family and reported the illegal use of magic to the Faerie Court. So her mom became a fugitive from the law, taking Rosa's younger sister Akasha with her. When none of the faeries can track down her mother, Rosa realizes that she'll have to be the one to find her mom. Rosa takes a dangerous risk: getting close to the mysterious exiled Unseelie who helped her mother go into hiding. To gain their trust, she'll have to break the rules. Her faeriekin friends, Ashleigh and Glen, and kitsune boyfriend, Kai, worry that she's getting in too deep. But for the chance to confront her mother and save her sister, Rosa will sacrifice anything . . . maybe even the things that she believes in the most.

How far would you go to save your family? Teen witch Rosamunde has dug herself into even deeper trouble. She risked her own life, and her best friend Ashleigh, to make a deal with the Unseelie anarchists so she could get her kidnapped sister, Akasha, back from her fugitive mother, Rosmerta. With help, she narrowly prevented her mother from opening a forbidden gate between the mortal realm and the Otherworld. Then she let her mother go for reasons that no one else can understand. Now to avoid prosecution for helping the Unseelie, Rosa has to testify in the Faerie Court’s trial of her former friends. But an old friend gives her a new opportunity that has her questioning her loyalties again. If the Seelie and Unseelie factions are both hurting people, could she find another way? But Rosmerta isn’t done messing her daughter’s life—or trying to open a gate that could tip the balance between Seelie and Unseelie. She reveals a dark secret about Akasha that shakes up the entire family. When Akasha discovers her true powers, she doesn’t know where to turn. And when the rules of reality get turned upside-down, and nightmares threaten to take over the small town of Madrone, it’s up to Rosa to fix everything.
