Girl in the Red Hood: A Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood
Not all the shadows that shift in the forest choose a life of darkness. Sometimes it is chosen for them.
After moving to a village deep in a sunless forest, Liesel is bitten by a wolf and marked for a terrifying destiny. Befriended by a mysterious boy in the woods soon after, however, Liesel finds herself falling in love with the one person in the world who might save her from that awful end... or doom her to it. Faced with terrifying odds, Liesel must decide to accept her fate for those she loves or fight for the freedom to choose her own way.
Silent Mermaid: A Retelling of The Little Mermaid
How does a silent mermaid win a war of song? How does she break the siren song of another holding her beloved captive?
After being touched by the sun at birth, Princess Arianna has grown up imprisoned between two worlds, neither fully mermaid nor fully human. But when she loses her family and her kingdom in a war between man and merfolk, she is forced to flee into the arms of her family's enemies. Her only hope of protection lies in the penniless prince that she once saved and his two boisterous nieces.
Prince Michael is at his wit's end. With his people starving and his treasury nearly empty, the familiar girl from the past that falls piteously at his feet cannot be afforded his attention. He has only the resources and time for the barest of good deeds to pay back that which she gave him. But the more Michael begins to hear the girl beneath her silence, the more he realizes she just might be the distraction he cannot survive without.
All the while, darkness is beginning to poison the ocean, and an evil foreseen by neither Arianna nor Michael threatens the very existence of both peoples. If they wish to restore their kingdoms, Arianna and Michael will need to reconsider their alliances, their beliefs, and an ancient prophecy that's been all but forgotten. Most importantly, they must decide whether or not they can move past their personal pain and trust one another. Because if they can't, everything and everyone they love will fall.
Cinders, Stars, and Glass Slippers: A Retelling of Cinderella
What if the prince didn't throw the ball to meet his true love? What if he was trying to save her life instead?
Since the murder of her gifted mother, Elaina has been sheltered on her father’s ship. But when Elaina’s secret is compromised, she must return to land and live under the king’s protection, much to her objection.
Ashland's crown prince, Nicholas, has never been without. He is, however, facing a possible civil war and a deadly foe who preys on his gifted citizens. So when he meets Elaina, Nicholas delights in insisting she share her military expertise gained on her father’s ship. He gets more than he bargains for, though, when he finds that he might be falling for the one girl who refuses to fall for his charms.
Just as Elaina and Nicholas begin to realize they might need each other after all, a dark turn of events finds Elaina exiled and forced into servitude, a civil war declared, and the murderer bloodthirstier than ever. Can Nicholas and Elaina defeat the dark forces that have poisoned their kingdom… and find their own happy ending as well?
