They say love conquers all… but can the conquered ever love the conqueror? Twenty-five years ago, there was life. Twenty-five years ago, there was peace when the descendants of the dryads and naiads kept all life in balance. Until one fateful night when the Oderbergs invaded, executed the royal house of Domonov and took Domovnia for their own, ruling with an iron fist and an edict of fear. Roslyn Pleveli, like most of the orphans of that night, wants revenge and an end to the persecution of her kind. Yet, even if the Domovnian’s use of magic was permitted, she wouldn’t be much help, able to command only a few lowly weeds. But everything changes when she saves the life of an injured young man in the forest not knowing it was the prince of the Oderbergs himself. Ordered to see to the rest of his treatment, Roslyn is snatched from her home and all that she loves by his soldiers. Now, in the Oderberg stronghold, she has the chance to change things. With the royal family within her grasp all she has to do to free her people is kill them… but can she do it, or will something more powerful than revenge heal the wounds of the past? The Briar Crown was recently awarded a semi-finalist's medal in the SPFBO 9 competition.

A sacrifice that ends with a soul barely held together with magic and a prayer, and a head full of doubt that he is good enough to be Noira's chosen consort. What kind of evil can find its way through the cracks still left in Victor's self-worth? "I cannot let him go." Noira has her fair share of problems to deal with after wiping out and resurrecting all of humanity. The greatest of those problems is the horde of demons Azazel brought with him from Hell that cannot be allowed to go back. In a desperate act, Noira absorbs the horde--and all of their contamination--into her own body to trap as prisoners. Now, she can't connect with her new consort Victor, or anyone else for that matter, or risk letting the horde cross over to a new host. Will the Angel of Death be able to contain the horde of demons long enough to find a permanent host? Who will she doom to keep the mortal world safe?

The Story: In a world where magic pulses through veins like blood, power is measured by the secrets one keeps—and Haron Val Toric has many to hide. In the kingdom of Respar, the rules are clear: male spellcasters build and protect, while women heal and nurture. Yet Haron, the realm's most skilled necromancer, has never been one to conform. When a noblewoman is discovered gruesomely murdered, Haron takes it upon herself to investigate, uncovering a conspiracy that threatens to tear Respar’s fragile peace apart. Each revelation from the dead drags her deeper into a tangled web of long-buried secrets—secrets better left untouched. Crown Prince Irin Gailish enlists Haron’s formidable powers to solve the mysterious death of his father. Captivated by her sharp intellect and her refusal to bow to courtly pretensions, Irin finds himself torn between his duty to the kingdom and an attraction that could bring ruin. As their fates intertwine, so do the dark schemes of those who wish to see them both undone. But Haron's greatest deception is the one hidden beneath her careful exterior. She is far more than she appears—more dangerous, more powerful, and more hunted. May the Old Gods have mercy on any soul who rips away her mask, for there are fangs hidden beneath it. Content info: open door romance, gory fight scenes, profanity, alcohol consumption, corpse resurrections, and a sassy bisexual FMC who doesn't play by strict gender roles and actively rebels against the patriarchy (not a content warning, we need more of those)

Maud Twangle, a Professional Witch, lives in a world full of magic and mystery with her best friend, Henrietta, who is a Magical Moon Spider. Henrietta lives under Maud’s floppy and rather bedraggled felt pointed ‘going out’ Witches’ hat, which was not to be confused with Maud’s floppy and rather bedraggled, felt pointed ‘gardening’ Witches’ hat, of course. Whilst going about her daily magical life, full of trips to the city by Owl (she much prefers to travel that way, rather than by Dragon) for Tea Symposiums, Maud stumbles headlong into three mysteries which she vows, upon the said floppy and rather bedraggled, felt pointed ‘going out’ Witches’ hat, to solve all of them. The Three Mysteries: 1. Witches & Wizards of the First Order are dying and it’s changing the magical world. 2. A child has appeared in Maud’s cottage, where has she come from and why? 3. What is wrong with the Tea of Dume and why does Maud instinctively fear it? With a swish of magic, a smattering of luck, and an ingenious brain, Maud endeavours to solve all these mysteries. However, what will happen to the magical world and its varied inhabitants, if she fails? ‘Tis a horror too terrible to contemplate, without a copious amount of tea, of course.
