Synopses

Cinderella Is Dead

Sophia knows the story by heart, because every girl must recite it daily from childhood until the night she is sent to the royal ball for choosing. Everyone understands there is only one chance. For those not chosen by a man at the ball, their lives are forfeit.

This Poison Heart

Briseis has had power over plants for as long as she can remember: flowers bloom in her footsteps and leaves turn to face her. She and her adoptive mothers have spent her life trying to keep it hidden. When she inherits an old house from her birth mother, she finally has the space and privacy to test her abilities.

This Wicked Fate

Briseis’s mother is dead, but there may be a way to bring her back by finding the last piece of the deadly Absyrtus Heart. To locate it, Bri must seek out blood relatives she has never known, learn about their secret powers and take her place in an ancient lineage.

She is not the only one searching for the Heart, and enemies will pursue their own ruthless plans. With the support of a sisterhood of ancient magic, Bri must try to harness her power to protect the people she loves most.

Sleep Like Death

Princess Eve has been raised with one purpose: to destroy the Knight, an evil sorcerer who terrorises Queen’s Bridge with wicked magic. Many of her subjects have been devastated by his trickery. Eve’s own magic, the ability to conjure weapons from nature, makes her a worthy adversary.
