Books Included in This Collection:
A Sorceress Comes to Call
A Sorceress Comes to Call unfolds in a world where magic arrives on the back of a conspiratorial traveler and ordinary townsfolk must reckon with unexpected powers. This brisk, witty fantasy blends fairy-tale charm with sharp characterization, letting a charismatic sorceress disrupt expectations and reveal quiet truths about courage, community, and trust. With clever world-building and a plot that moves at a satisfying clip, this tale invites readers to lean in, question what they know, and savor the moment when danger becomes possibility.
A House with Good Bones
On the surface a family story, this novel threads gothic intrigue through the fabric of a close circle and a house that remembers. It balances tenderness with dread, exploring memory, belonging, and the strange warmth of a home that may be more alive than its inhabitants realise. The prose is precise, the atmosphere thick with rain-slicked lanes and creaking corridors, and the emotional payoff lands with quiet, lasting resonance.
Thornhedge
Thornhedge unfolds like a whispered fairy tale with a dangerous edge. A hedge grows where it shouldn't, secrets bloom in the hedgerows, and a protagonist must navigate treacherous bargains and haunting beauty. Expect moody landscapes, sly humor, and a narrative that lures you closer before revealing how much fear and hope can share a single heart.
Clockwork Boys
Clockwork Boys blends steampunk spectacle with dark fantasy. Clockwork machines clatter through city streets as allies must outwit tyrants, uncover conspiracies, and defy gravity with grit and wit. The tone swings from briskly funny to tense and dire, while worldbuilding feels tactile—gears, brass, airships, and a sense that invention carries both promise and peril.
The Wonder Engine
The Wonder Engine continues the inventive energy of its predecessor, delivering a bold blend of gears and guts, danger and wonder. Expect clever engineering, a determined cast, and a plot that presses forward with surprising tenderness. It rewards readers who love a twisty setup, character-driven quests, and a speculative landscape where science and magic braid into something new.
