Sign up for an ARC of The Rose and the Serpent

A grave robber with a heart. A girl without a soul. Secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Death isn’t always the end, especially in the shadowed streets of York. Cassius Watkins has made his peace with the dead, unearthing their bodies for profit and keeping whatever treasures he finds. But when Cash pries open a tomb and finds Edie Buxton-Whyte alive inside, he’s thrust into a world where death is just the beginning.

Offered a place at the prestigious All Souls College thanks to his act of heroism, Cash soon hears whispers of a secret society hidden within the cloistered halls. As unsettling visions of Edie haunt his dreams and anonymous threats are slipped under his door, Cash is drawn deeper into a fight he never knew existed. A battle between the monsters that slither in the shadows and the forces working against them.

As darkness closes in and the danger turns out to be closer to home than they ever imagined, Cash and Edie must tread carefully. But the deeper they dig and the more they uncover, the more Cash begins to wonder if Edie is still the girl he risked everything to save…or something else entirely.

The Rose and the Serpent is a YA gothic, dark academia fantasy brimming with dark secrets, forbidden knowledge, and a love that defies even death itself. Perfect for fans of One Dark Window, A Study in Drowning, and Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Chronicles.

Last call for Enchanted Flames ARCs!

Hey friends, there’s less than a month until Enchanted Flames is out in the world! We’re so excited to share this awesome collection of fire fantasy stories with you all.

The ARC sign up sheet is still open for applications, so if you enjoyed our past collections, Enchanted Waters and Enchanted Forests, or you’d just really love to read an early review copy of ten fire-magic and mythical creature focused fantasy stories, then click the cover below to apply!

My story is called The Wyvern and the Woodwitch, and follows an apothecary in the Salamander Kingdom (part of my Fair Realm world) as she tries to find the cure to a deadly sickness that has spread across the realm and infected the young Prince. With the help of a curious wyvern, she journeys into the heart of the mountains to find the rare plant she needs to create the cure, but when she crosses paths with an arrogant woodcutter, can she complete her task without getting her fingers burned-or her heart broken?

If you’re not already a member of our fan group on Facebook, come and join us for all the latest behind the scenes info on our stories, and updates on how much our anthologies have raised for our chosen charities (almost $2,000 so far!).

We can’t wait to share these stories with you on 18 June and donate all profits to the World Land Trust’s Wildfire Appeal!
