These Fairy-Tale Princesses aren’t for the kids!

The Princess and the Pea has a drinking problem but she’s deadly with a six-gun, Cinderella has a flaming sword and a rodent infestation, and Rapunzel has cut off her hair to make a lethal whip and has a very foul mouth.

The Wicked Queen has almost won. Only Snow White’s kingdom still stands. She has gathered together Princesses from all the defeated kingdoms to form the Princess Company. These Princesses have thrown off their fine clothes (well, not Cinderella) and strapped on their armor. They form the last line of defense for millions.

Now our three heroines set off on a mission deep into enemy territory to rescue Beauty (no longer asleep) and obtain a secret weapon that could turn the tide of the war!

Dr. Jack Brenner, academic, pastor and loving husband, was convinced he’d been abducted by aliens. Now, an encounter from his past is coming back to haunt him.

The beings he encountered certainly looked alien enough. What starts out for Brenner as a lucid dream soon turns to a gruesome nightmare, as he learns from extra-terrestrials that forces of evil are brewing below the surface…

No thought is safe from prying minds in this new world order.

Who then — or what — were they?

And what was the secret they would manipulate all time and space to find?

Aria Grace has always been a rebel.

Well… maybe more like a silent rebel. Okay, maybe that’s not really a thing. Still, she’s totally a rebel in her head. Until she meets gorgeous Wisdom and lets the rebel in her out to play.

Then her world shatters, leaving Aria’s mind spinning and her heart aching. Maybe it was only a dream. A beautiful, fleeting dream. So fleeting, that if she blinked, she could fool herself into thinking it never happened. That he never happened.

But Aria knows better. Wisdom was real. He had to be… right? Soon, Aria finds herself on the run, her life in danger, with no idea who she can trust. Wishing with all her heart she could just go back to dreaming.

Aria Grace is confused, grieving, and scared.

Not to mention royally ticked. Just who is this Jameson guy, and what was her sister into? And what does her sister’s boyfriend Reed know?

She feels like her life has blown up in her face, and even her best friend holds secrets. When Jameson drops another bombshell on her, she’s caught up in emotional turmoil just before they are thrust into an unexpected rescue mission.

Before she can blink, she and an unlikely gang are fleeing for the mountains, into the mysterious territory of the Untouched. All Aria can do now is pray for God to equip her for what comes next. Whatever that may be.

To Riona, life was simple. She and her mother lived on the outskirts of a village in the secluded Rhal-Dages Mountains of Bjergen. They grew, or hunted what they could, and traded for the rest. Her best friend for the twenty years of her life, Damien, and his family were there for her without question. At least until a mysterious figure reveals something within her, setting in motion events that sweep Riona into a conflict decades in the making.
After another figure’s unexplained visit, Riona is required to accept that the abilities she has had for so long, and tried to hide, come from magic. But since Moriel destroyed the legendary Ryders and their powerful dragons twenty-one years prior, magic was something to be feared by the people. Magic was dangerous, and those using it were sought out and killed.

Lorth of Ostarin is an assassin trained by a wizard unknown to his kind. He is paid very well to employ both the primeval darkness of a hunter and the ordered light of a mage, an uneasy combination he doesn’t question until he returns home after a long assignment and trips into a snakepit of war, politics and the violation of all he holds dear. Lawless and adept, he picks no sides and takes no prisoners. When his wolfish ways get him imprisoned for crimes he didn’t commit, he discovers the deeper source of his ability and falls in love with a priestess who frees him to his fate. But the rift in his heart widens under the forces of love, loyalty and the occupation of his realm by a warlord who honors neither hunters nor wizards. To reclaim his homeland, Lorth must bow his head to death itself, a sacrifice that will transform him into the most powerful hunter the land has ever known.
