A Curse of Thorns and Slumber

One kiss could awaken a kingdom… or doom it to eternal
darkness.

A Curse of Thorns and Slumber: 

A Sleeping Beauty
Retelling

Legends Reborn Book 2

by Marie-Hélène Lebeault

Genre: Clean Romantasy Fairytale Retelling

A cursed prince. A dangerous dream world. A girl who
holds the key to their salvation.

One kiss could awaken a kingdom… or doom it to eternal
darkness.

When a reluctant thief with the power to control thorns is
forced to break an ancient curse, she must risk entering the dangerous
Dreamplane to save a cursed prince—but some magic comes with a price too deadly
to pay.

In the kingdom of Solstraea, where the skies are gray and
thorns rule the land, a centuries-old curse has imprisoned Prince Kael in an
eternal sleep. Only one person can break the spell—Liora Thornhand, a thief
with a rare, dangerous gift she never wanted.

Captured and offered a deal she cannot refuse, Liora must
venture into the deadly Dreamplane to find Kael’s heart, hidden deep within a
magical rose. But as she battles nightmare creatures and faces her own dark
past, she learns that waking the prince might cost her more than just her
freedom—it might cost her life.

In a world filled with twisted thorns, cursed roses, and
dangerous shadows, Liora will have to decide: will she risk everything to save
a kingdom she doesn’t belong to, or will she let it fall into eternal darkness?

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Brigid
Kemmerer
, “A Curse of Thorns and Slumber” is a spellbinding mix
of dark fantasy, romance, and a daring quest through a world where magic is as
treacherous as it is beautiful.

A Curse of Thorns and Slumber is the second book in
the Legends Reborn series. It is a no-spice fantasy romance
adventure. Books can be read in any order.

A Curse of Snow and Ash: 

A Snow White Retelling

Legends Reborn Book 1

She holds the power of fire and ice—now, she must decide
which one will rule.

Valira, the forgotten princess of the Ash Court, has lived
her life hidden from both her past and her dangerous magic. When she is thrust
into a world of ice and fire, hunted by two rival courts, she must unlock her
powers to stop a war—and perhaps find herself along the way.

In a world where fire and ice have been at war for
centuries, Valira, an exiled princess with no memory of her past, is hunted for
the power she doesn’t understand. Born from a forbidden union between the
Courts of Snow and Ash, Valira wields both fire and ice, a magic that could
save or destroy the realm.

When a cold-hearted assassin from the Snow Court, Prince
Caelan, is sent to kill her, their fates become entwined. As they race against
time to uncover the truth about her origins and the curse that threatens the
kingdoms, Valira must learn to control her volatile powers before the war
consumes them both.

Enemies lurk in every shadow, and trust is as fragile as
ice. But amid the chaos, a dangerous bond forms between Valira and Caelan—one
that could melt the coldest hearts or spark a fire that consumes them both.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Brigid Kemmerer, A
Curse of Snow and Ash is a breathtaking blend of elemental magic, fierce
romance, and high-stakes fantasy.

A Curse of Snow of Ash is the first book in the Legends Reborn series. It is a

NIGHT OF THE HAWK

NIGHT OF THE HAWK
Lauren Martin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Poetry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Ifá. Nature. Illness. Love. Loss. Misogyny. Aging. Africa. Our wounded planet. In this sweeping yet intensely personal collection, Lauren Martin tells the untold stories of the marginalized, the abused, the ill, the disabled—the different. Inspired by her life’s experiences, including the isolation she has suffered as a result both of living with chronic illness and having devoted herself to a religion outside the mainstream, these poems explore with raw vulnerability and unflinching honesty what it is to live apart—even as one yearns for connection.

But Night of the Hawk is no lament; it is powerful, reverential, sometimes humorous, often defiant—“Oh heat me and fill me / I rise above lines”—and full of wisdom. Visceral and stirring, the poems in this collection touch on vastly disparate subjects but are ultimately unified in a singular quest: to inspire those who read them toward kindness, compassion, and questioning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

A SEA OF KISSES

One kiss to
Make me stay
Two to
Start the day
Three and
I’m on my way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Lauren Martin is a psychotherapist, poet, and a devoted Ìyânífá. Born in Boston and spending many years in New York and Paris, she currently lives in Oakland, California. Lauren studied psychology, photography and poetry at Sarah Lawrence College. She spent years writing without submitting her work due to a long shamanic journey, which led her to both Ifá, and to the writing of several books (including this collection of poems.) The upcoming publication of Night of the Hawk (SheWrites Press, 2024), reflects a deeply personal experience of illness, isolation and true shamanism.

Q & A With … Lauren Martin

Tell us about you as a person.
I am a psychotherapist, an award-winning poet and devoted Ìyânífá. I currently live in Oakland, California. I studied poetry at Sarah Lawrence College. Publication of my writing was delayed by a long, arduous shamanic journey.

If you could hang out with one famous person for one day, who would it be and why?
Definitely, Bowie. He did everything his own way and even eulogized his own death. He will always remain the first example I saw of the way shamanism fuses with artistry and creates gold.

What’s the story behind your latest book?
I was writing without submitting for years. In 2015, I was injured in a back procedure and developed a CSF leak. This has been a life altering injury, and I was bedridden. I was writing throughout, and my sister suggested I begin to submit this book.

What advice do you have for other writers who want to get the word out about their latest book?
I am terrible at self-promotion — worsened by my injury. I think speaking to other people and being graciously hosted by blogs like this is a great opportunity for getting the word out but also for meeting other people committed to words and art. It’s pretty inspiring.

List 5 things on your bucket list.
My goals are driven by my injury which took a shaman who nomadically travelled and made me bedridden.
-swim with my mother before she dies
-hike up Hawk Hill
-see the Grand Canyon
-get some other books published
-feel peace in the fact that my life’s ripple had a positive impact and I helped people

Any final thoughts?
I am a true medium. I dream my work and commune with the dead so my poems often arrive at night or in ritual, fully formed.

The Dream Rider Saga

Will Dreycott is a superhero. In his dreams…and in yours.

The Hollow Boys

The Dream Rider Saga Book 1

by Douglas Smith

Genre: YA Urban Fantasy

WINNER OF THE 2023 AURORA AWARD FOR BEST YA NOVEL
WINNER OF THE 2023 JURIED IAP AWARD FOR BEST YA NOVEL

“Thrilling YA fantasy” —BookLife (Editor’s Pick)
“A must-read story for YA fantasy fans.” —Blueink Review (Starred
review)
“Inventive, engaging, and boundless fun.” —The Ottawa Review of Books

Vanishing street kids. An ancient evil. The end of the world.
Our only hope? A hero who can’t leave home.

At seventeen, Will Dreycott is a superhero…in his dreams. And in yours.

Eight years ago, Will’s parents, shady dealers in ancient artifacts,
disappeared on a jungle expedition. Will, the sole survivor, returned home with
no memory of what happened, bringing a gift…and a curse.

The gift? Will can walk in our dreams. At night in Dream, Will hunts for
criminals—and his parents. During the day, his Dream Rider comic,
about a superhero no one knows is real, has made Will rich.

The curse? Severe agoraphobia. Will can’t go outside. So he makes his home a
skyscraper with everything he needs in life—everything but the freedom to walk
the streets of his city.

Case, an orphan Will’s age, survives on those streets with her younger brother,
Fader. Survives because she too has a gift. She hears voices warning her of
danger. And Fader? Well, he fades.

When street kids start vanishing, the Dream Rider joins the hunt. Will’s search
becomes personal when Case breaks into his tower to escape her own abduction.
Fader isn’t so lucky.

As Will and Case search for Fader and the missing kids, an unlikely romance
grows between the boy with everything and the girl with nothing except the
freedom Will longs for.

But as they push deeper into the mystery, they confront an ancient power
feeding on these forgotten kids to restore itself. And once restored, no one in
the world will be safe.

To defeat this creature, Will must do the impossible.

Go outside.

The Crystal Key

The Dream Rider Saga Book 2

Sequel to the AURORA AWARD WINNER and the Juried IAP
AWARD WINNER, The Hollow Boys

“Give me the Crystal Key!”

Will Dreycott is the Dream Rider, the agoraphobic teenage superhero who can
walk in our dreams but never in the streets of his city. Case is his
girlfriend, a survivor of those streets who hears voices that warn her of
danger. Fader is her brother, who is very good at disappearing. Together, they
defeated a body swapper and a witch to save the world (The Hollow Boys).

Now, Case battles guilt over living sheltered in Will’s tower home while her
street friends still struggle. Blaming his affliction for Case’s sadness, Will
searches for a way to live a normal life with the girl he loves—a way to go
outside.

But his efforts draw the attention of dark forces. Sinister figures hunt Will
in Dream. Intruders scour the vast warehouse of antiquities
“acquired” by Will’s missing parents. And a masked swordswoman
attacks Will, demanding “the Crystal Key” before disappearing into
thin air.

Are they all searching for the same thing? Something from Will’s parents’ shady
past? For the swordswoman leaves behind a flowery scent, Will’s only memory
from the lost expedition eight years ago that gave him powers in Dream but cost
him his parents and his freedom.

A trail of dark secrets leads Will, Case, and Fader to a mysterious world.
Trapped between warring cults willing to kill for the Crystal Key, the three
friends must master strange new powers that grow stronger and wilder the closer
they draw to the truth.

This time it’s not just the fate of the world at stake…but the multiverse.

The Lost Expedition

The Dream Rider Saga Book 3

The Thrilling Conclusion to the Multi-Award-Winning
Trilogy

Will is the Dream Rider, the superhero who walks in our dreams but never in the
streets of his own city. Case is his girlfriend, a survivor of those streets
who hears voices warning her of danger. Fader, her brother, is very good
at disappearing.

In The Hollow Boys, they defeated a body swapper and a witch to
save the world. In The Crystal Key, they battled warring cults to
protect an ancient artifact tied to Will’s affliction.

The Chakana. The Crystal Key. But the key to what? To finding answers, they
hope, to the questions that rule their lives.

What caused their strange powers? And Will’s crippling agoraphobia? Can he be
cured? Why did their parents travel to the jungles of Peru eight years ago? Are
they still alive?

Behind every question is the Chakana. What is the mysterious relic? Why will
people kill to possess it? What hold does it have on Will?

As creatures from Inca myths haunt the three friends, another attack on the
Chakana threatens Will’s life. To save him and solve the mystery of the lost
expedition, only one choice remains.

Return to Peru. With the Chakana.

There, they find friends and foes, both old and new. And behind it all, an
unseen enemy moving them like pieces on a chessboard.

To win this deadly game, Will, Case, and Fader must master new powers to defeat
the most dangerous adversary they’ve ever faced—a god.

At stake this time? Every life, every world, every universe. Everything.

Breaker- Hades Abyss 13

Love ignites in a
world where trust is scarce, and the stakes are life or death.

Breaker

Hades Abyss MC 13

by Harley Wylde

Genre: Contemporary
MC Romance

Love ignites in a
world where trust is scarce and the stakes are life or death.

In the shadows
of a world where danger lurks around every corner and loyalty and love can be
the deadliest weapons of all, two souls are drawn together by fate
.

Juniper

 I was only fifteen when I ran away from home.
Or rather, the nightmare I’d ended up in, after my parents died. I’d known
living on the streets wouldn’t be easy, but I also hadn’t planned to nearly
freeze to death in an alley five years later. The biker who found me, nursed me
back to health, and promised to keep me safe was unlike anyone I’d ever met
before. When we found out my uncle would be paroled, there was no doubt he’d
try to find me. After all, he’d think I was the one who turned him in. But
somewhere along the way, I started to fall in love with Breaker. Now I’ll do
anything for him.

Breaker

I’ve been with
the Hades Abyss since I was a teenager. Back then I went by Teller Reed, until
I earned my patch. These people are my family. I never thought I’d be willing
to break all the rules and defy the club president. Then I found Juniper nearly
dead in an alley. I’ve always believed in Fate, and I have no doubt I was led
to her for a reason. Now she’s mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes to hold onto
her… even if it means getting my hands dirty. If her uncle thinks he can come
and take her from me, he’d better reconsider… because if he even tries, I’m
putting him six feet under.

As nights grow
darker and stakes escalate, will their bond be enough to withstand the ultimate
test
?

WARNING: Breaker
is a slow-burn steamy romance recommended for readers 18+ due to adult
situations, language, and violence. It can be read as a stand-alone but may be
enjoyed more if the series is read in order. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and
no cliffhanger!

Slowly, giving her time to pull away, I
lifted my other hand to cradle her face, my fingers sliding into the
silk of her hair. She let out a shaky breath, her eyelids fluttering
closed for a moment before she met my gaze once more.

“Breaker…” My name was a whisper
on her lips, a plea and a prayer all at once.

“It’s just us, Juni. Call me
Teller. If anyone has that right, it’s you.”

“Teller,” she said softly, her
cheeks flushing.

I leaned in, resting my forehead
against hers, our breath mingling in the scant space between us. I
wanted to kiss her, to taste the sweetness of her mouth and show her
just how much she meant to me. But I knew it was too soon. She was
too fragile, too unsure.

So I contented myself with holding her
close, offering her the strength and comfort of my presence. And when
she finally pulled back, a tentative smile curving her lips, I knew
I’d made the right choice.

“Thank you,” she murmured, her hand
coming up to cover mine where it still rested against her cheek.

I smiled back, my thumb brushing over
her skin in a gentle caress. “Anytime, sweetheart. “

We stayed like that for a long moment,
lost in each other’s eyes, the rest of the world falling away. And
as I looked at Juniper, seeing the hope and the trust shining in her
gaze, I knew that whatever this was between us, it was just the
beginning.

Dare to dream. Dare to believe. Dare to embrace your
legacy.

Orphan Pascal and his friends Paloma and Pierrot dive into
the mystery of children disappearing in the enchanting land of The Vale.

The Harlequin’s Legacy

Book 1

by Andrés Rosas Hott

Genre: YA Fantasy

Dare to dream. Dare to believe. Dare to embrace your
legacy.

In the enchanting land of The Vale, the grand city of Pivot
stands as a beacon of innovation where scientific progress clashes with the
now-dwindling beliefs in magic that the place once held.

Just outside of Pivot, 17-year-old Pascal has spent his life
at The Skystead Home for Orphaned Children. Life outside the orphanage seems
ceaselessly interesting, and shielded from the rest of the world, he wants
nothing more than to explore. Already puzzled by unanswered questions about his
past, Pascal’s concern deepens as he learns about a grim mystery of local
children’s disappearances.

In pursuit of finding his place in life, Pascal is joined by
Paloma—a street-savvy girl and former gang leader with a tragic past—and
Pierrot—a silent, enigmatic companion. Together, the unlikely trio begins to
sneak out of the orphanage to experience the one place that still embraces
magic: the welcoming carnival.

As secrets begin to unravel, the truth unveils hidden powers
within each of these three young adventurers. Their friendships are challenged
as they overcome demons, both inside and outside themselves. Yet, each step
brings them closer to the truth: a sinister plot that threatens the very fabric
of their world.

Before they know it, the fate of the missing children has
become inextricably intertwined with their own.

The Harlequin’s Legacy is a gripping tale
of adventure, friendship, and self-discovery. Pascal, Paloma, and Pierrot trust
in their inner courage and resilience to reach their true potential despite
trials and tribulations. This story encourages everyone to dare to dream, to
believe in themselves, and embrace the legacy that awaits them.

Adventure, magic, and self-discovery await! Are
you ready to join Pascal and his friends as they uncover hidden secrets and
embrace a timeless legacy? Witness the journey firsthand—grab your copy
