A Matter of Circumstance and Celludrones
Claire Robyns
Lady Lily d’Bulier is prim, proper, and prefers avoiding life-threatening situations at all costs. Unfortunately for her she lives in a time of dirigibles and demons. Everything changes when Lord Adair tracks her down in London and they set off on an adventure in this Steampunk novel.
The Tattered BannerDuncan M. Hamilton
In a world where magic is outlawed, ability with a sword is prized above all else. Plucked from a life of privation, Soren is given a coveted place at Ostenheim’s Academy of Swordsmanship, an opportunity beyond belief. Soren becomes an unwitting pawn in a game of intrigue and treachery that could cost him not just his dreams, but also his life.
First FrostLiz DeJesus
For generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts, a collection dedicated to the Grimm fairy tales and to the rare items the family has acquired: Cinderella’s glass slipper, Snow White’s poisoned apple, the evil queen’s magic mirror, Sleeping Beauty’s enchanted spinning wheel…
Seventeen-year-old Bianca Frost wants none of it. She knows the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic doesn’t really exist…or does it?
