To some, it might appear Wren Amberton has it all. A best friend. A pigeon. An excellent book about crust-aceans. Unfortunately, her younger sister has what seems to matter most—beauty. Lurking in Eillie’s perfect shadow, it’s impossible for Wren to dampen the burning envy in her flat chest.
When a friendship is formed with a distant cousin and his deteriorating wife, Wren discovers a way to take the power of Providence into her own hands. Through science or witchcraft and a hairy pudding, Wren gets her chance at the life she's always wanted.
But the life of a beauty might not be all it promised to be, and Wren must now learn how to truly be seen in the shadow of her own pretty face.
Megnolia knows she should stay hidden among the giant pines of her forest. As one of the last of the great shapeshifting Raparean elves, she should be searching for the lost Imperald Crystal, the heart of the forest. But the skies always call.
When a book is placed in her hands, Meg leaves the safety of her forest to discover what mysteries the markings reveal. Befriended by a human family, Meg soon feels divided between her desire to save her ailing mother and the pull to relieve the human suffering under a harsh king. Mother’s rules dictate Meg keep the humans from entering their forest. But can she prevent them from entering her heart?
Born in the rock and dust of Darkwater Quarry, Ayra is resigned to a life in the debtor camp like the generations before her. But when the charming Prince Gibsen arrives offering to escort her and her younger brother to a wealthy relative in the northern country of Tiseden, Ayra gets a chance to see what had only existed in her dreams.
Trading the safety of Darkwater for the unknown, Ayra embarks on a journey that reveals things on the outside are not always what they seem. Thrust into the sole companionship of a rogue soldier, she seeks to uncover her family’s secret—a secret that will either save the country she struggles to belong in or make her a pawn in the hands of a man who would destroy it.
