Stories are powerful; everyone knows that. They are rife with meaningful imagery and symbolism; they are mirrors that enable folk to see themselves as they truly are. And, while there are no right or wrong ways to interpret those myriad symbols there are ways that are more helpful than harmful. One such symbol is the uninvited guest who has been dubbed "wicked". Yet, she is the very one to help a world run by adolescents oblivious to their destructive way

A forbidden rose and deadly sacrifice. A glittering sword and living melody. A stolen stormestone and detestable pardon. The war in Aslaria, founded in ancient legends, changes the lives of those it touches forever. Fairy tales retold as you have never heard them before. ROSE OF THE OATH: Beauty and the Beast War clouds the horizon and rebels gather under a mysterious leader. Alone, with her two younger sisters, Elissa watches the mountain road desperately for her brother's return. Instead, she receives news of his capture by a strange figure covered in scars and cloaked in wolf skins. With rebels drawing nearer, she sets off to find her brother. To save him. There is no one else who can. Yet she soon finds the rose that granted her warning now holds her captive in safety. Outside the valley, war threatens those she loves most. Though her strange host claims the ancient promises of the Prince's return and victory over the rebels, Elissa knows the blood-drenched truth. She is on her own. Elissa will do anything to keep her family safe, but more than one kind of wolf stalks the Blackwood and danger lurks closer than she could ever imagine. SONG OF THE SWORD: Rapunzel Evrard and Roinette, twins separated at birth, are caught in a battle beyond their own limited powers. With their ability to walk in the melody realm, catching glimpses of the light and darkness underlying Aslaria, comes even more danger. Deadly mistbenders. Writhing walls of blankness. Hateful drumbeats. As a warrior in the Melody, Evrard has seen it all. But his own ability in the melody realm pales in comparison to the Prince's melody, the legendary prowess of past Wingmasters, and even the depth of his sister's song. To rescue Roinette and evade the trap almost certainly set for him by those who want his power, Evrard knows he'll have to be careful. Even if he can find the Wingmaster's sword, there's no assurance he'll be able to defeat a mistbender on his own. In the end, will his and Roinette's efforts matter if the Prince brings an ancient oath to fulfillment, shaking the very foundation of Aslaria? SHADOWS OF THE HERSWEALD: Hansel and Gretel A battered soldier from a defeated army, Haydn knows the only end to the arrival of the Prince's governor is chains, followed by punishment and possible execution. Except he hasn't counted on the Prince himself. Or the pardon which his recent foe has declared to acquit all those who fought against him. A pardon Haydn detests. A pardon that refuses to punish the rebels now threatening his own village. And his sister. Guilt-ridden from his own actions during the war, Haydn knows there are others who have no conscience at all. Others who are using the freedom of the pardon to forward their own desperate schemes. With enemies closing in on all sides, a pardon that refuses punishment, and nightmares of murder and fire haunting his every thought, will Haydn recognize the truth or will his fear condemn everything he loves to destruction? BONUS ROSE OF THE NIGHT: a Rose of the Oath prequel Behind every beast, there is a curse. Behind every curse, there is a promise. Behind every promise, there is a sacrifice. Two hundred years before Beauty was born, blood and tears wove a legend of hope and sorrow. A timeless tale of a forbidden rose and the smooth voice of a masked stranger. A story of rebellion and despair and love. A story of a promise given and of a hope received. The story of the Oathkeeper. With each novella based in an aspect of the fruit of the Spirit, these are fairy tale retellings as you have never heard them before.

A fairy tale retelling with a twist! Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose has a problem. She’s descended from one of the three magical races—shifters, fairies, or witches. That makes her one of the Magicorum, and Magicorum always follow a fairy tale life template. In Bryar’s case, that template should be Sleeping Beauty. Should being the key word. Trouble is, Bryar is nowhere near the sleeping beauty life template. Not even close. She doesn’t like birds or woodland creatures. She can’t sing. And she certainly can’t stand Prince Philpot, the so-called “His Highness of Hedge Funds” that her aunties want her to marry. Even worse, Bryar’s having recurring dreams of a bad boy hottie and is obsessed with finding papyri from ancient Egypt. What’s up with that? All Bryar wants is to attend a regular high school with normal humans and forget all about shifters, fairies, witches, and the curse that Colonel Mallory the Magnificent placed on her. And she might be able to do just that--if only she can just keep her head down until her eighteenth birthday when the spell that’s ruined her life goes buh-bye. But that plan gets turned upside down when Bryar Rose meets Knox, the bad boy who’s literally from her dreams. Knox is a powerful werewolf, and his presence in her life changes everything, and not just because he makes her knees turn into Jell-O. If Bryar can’t figure out who—or what—she really is, it might cost both her and Knox their lives… as well as jeopardize the very nature of magic itself. Perfect for readers who love young adult books with romance, action, adventure, and one-of-a-kind world building. Magicorum characters KNOW they’re stuck in a fairy tale life template… and struggle with the role of fantasy and magic in their future.
