Thorn Season (2025)
(Thorn Season, book 1)
Kiera Azar
"With its sizzling romance, dangerous court intrigue and twisting-turning plot, Thorn Season is a dazzling romantasy debut that had me desperate to turn the next page. I'm obsessed!"

A Beautiful Evil (2025)
Bea Fitzgerald
"Heartfelt, hilarious and inherently hopeful, A Beautiful Evil is a stunning reimagining - and reclamation - of the myth of Pandora. I fell in love with this story - the irresistible grumpy-sunshine romance, the piercing social commentary, and the lyrical, poetic prose. It is a powerful reminder that strength lies in our differences, and that hope is eternal. A joy from start to finish. Bea Fitzgerald has done it again!"

Silvercloak (2025)
(Silvercloak Saga, book 1)
L K Steven
"Lush, dangerous, and utterly addictive . . . This world is next level: expansive, textured, rich, real. The attention to detail is staggering; the prose is stunning, vivid, and transporting. Steven is truly an artist with words, and I want to live in the worlds she creates."
