🌲 Forsaken of the Woods (YA Fantasy Horror)
In a town bound by an ancient curse, two teens defy every warning to confront the nightmare clawing its way back into the world.
Damiana D’Feyhar and Tal Highfall have always obeyed one law: never set foot in the forest. But when the council’s own children vanish, fear suffocates the town—and they break the rules.
What they find is no ordinary beast. It’s a roiling fusion of fog and flesh, born from a feyhar’s centuries-old act of envy and grief. Now it hunts with purpose, seeking to erase every clan—human, feyhar, rhinki, krimkin. As the monster stalks, buried history surfaces: the truth about Tomil, the outcast whose ambition forged this abomination, and the battle that nearly shattered the realm.
Armed with forbidden knowledge and each other, Dami and Tal must outwit a predator built from the sins of the past—before the woods claim them like all the rest.
Forsaken of the Woods evokes the folkloric dread of The Bone Houses and the relentless body horror of Wilder Girls, delivering a haunting tale of legacy, grief, and survival.
🌌 Immortal Stream (Science-Fantasy)
On December 21, 2012, the world ended—and it wasn’t a terrible thing.
Benevolent aliens fleeing a dying planet arrived on Earth, offering salvation for sanctuary. Their gifts transformed the planet: clean air, abundant food, and water, hybrid creatures resurrected from extinction, and breathtaking flora. But their greatest achievement? Near-sentient bioships—organic vessels powered by humanoid hearts and linked to human pilots.
Brigit Rice, unemployed and adrift, finds purpose when she meets Kel 2474, a Companion. Kel offers her a second chance: a Talent, a power tailored to her soul, and a new identity. Reborn as Indigo Rose, Brigit becomes a mercenary aboard the aliens’ planet-ship. But Kel’s request for her to investigate the murder of a bioship pilot—whose heart was a close friend—pulled Indigo into a mystery that would change everything. Her link to the bio-heart Solace is unexpected, intimate, and dangerous.
The aliens didn’t come alone. Aedromerry, a seductive and lethal drug, causes irreversible mania—turning humans into violent, uninhibited versions of themselves. The Bureau of Civic Defense (BCD) is Earth’s last line of protection, trained to eliminate Maniacs with deadly force. Indigo joins their ranks, only to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to undo everything the aliens gave.
Some would return Earth to its darkest days. But Indigo remembers the cost—and she’s not afraid to make them pay.
Immortal Stream blends the emotional depth and systemic upheaval of N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth Trilogy with the visceral, organic sci-fi of Kameron Hurley’s The Stars Are Legion, delivering a genre-bending tale of rebirth, rebellion, and alien technology that feels both intimate and epic.
🩸 The Last Storyteller (Grimdark Fantasy)
In a world stripped of technology by a forgotten cataclysm, history survives through the Storytellers—women gifted with the power to weave memory into sound and vision. Chosen by their people, they devote their lives to preserving legacy, birthing new life, and reminding the world of what was.
Four Storytellers—Drusilla Stokes of the North, Maeve Mongan of the West, Takagi Norie of the East, and Jimena Valle from the South—set out under the guidance of a Master Storyteller. The fractured lands welcome them as honored guests by law. But not all places obey the law.
Whispers speak of a story no storyteller knows—one that reveals the fate of an ancient people who wielded immense power and vanished into myth. A woman cast out from the ranks of the Storytellers seeks this tale with ruthless intent. Torture. Captivity. Madness. She will tear the truth from anyone who might possess it.
Storytellers do not train to fight. Others hunted, broke, and discarded them. The only method to halt her requires discovery of the story’s origin. But how do you protect a truth that may never have existed?
The Last Storyteller evokes the lyrical brutality of Anna Smith Spark’s The Court of Broken Knives and the mythic unraveling of R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War, delivering a tale of legacy, vengeance, and the cost of forgotten power.
đź’» The Good Guys (Contemporary Fantasy)
The World is full of heroes and villains—but the most famous city is Mile High, named by Harlan Miles, the first superhero, and founder of the legendary Infinity Squadron. There’s a saying: you’re nobody if you’re not in the IS.
Session, a computer genius with a dream, aspires to be a superhero apprentice—never a sidekick. She’s older than most recruits, but she’s got the skills heroes need critically (even if they don’t know it). When she asks Majestic, the IS’s leader, to take her on, he humiliates her in front of millions.
Crushed but defiant, Session considers switching sides—until she’s offered a chance to apprentice with Lady Chrysalis, a mystical hero who sees her potential. Through Chrysalis, Session meets a new crew: Scarlet Wing and her apprentice Sparrow, the bonded duo Burn and Mimic, and Masquerade, master of disguise. They’re not IS, but they’re the Good Guys.
Then the rules break. In The World, you don’t mess with family, war vets, kids, or soccer moms. Someone is ignoring all. As villains escalate their attacks, Session and her new allies must rise together to stop a conspiracy that threatens everything heroes stand for.
The Good Guys blends the ensemble charm of Renegades by Marissa Meyer with the grounded grit of The Extraordinaries by TJ Klune, delivering a fresh, funny, and heartfelt take on what it means to be heroic.
🌒 Night Walker (Urban Fantasy)
Gabriella Reese lives in a world where creatures of day and night coexist under a fragile peace. Humans and ferals—those who’ve claimed their monstrous nature—have kept the bloodshed at bay for centuries. Gabby never cared who was what … until she saw a wyrm in the woods, and her best friend turned up murdered in a savage manner. All signs point to a feral.
Then comes Asp, a shadowy woman with a proposition: join the Night Walkers, an elite underground force tasked with protecting the world from supernatural threats. A virus infects ferals, driving them to madness and violence, and Gabby and her new allies scatter across the globe. They operate in secret, under the highest levels of government.
Her team includes Henrietta Jones, a feral with a dangerous secret; Tao Wen, a logistical magician with a mind like a war room; and Evie Nicholson, a sundry magician whose talents defy categorization. Together, they hunt for Patient Zero, hoping to trace the virus’s origin—natural or engineered—and stop the unraveling of peace.
However, betrayals are rising, plus the old customs erode; perhaps even the Night Walkers won’t suffice. If they fail, history will repeat—and feral blood will flood the streets once more.
Night Walker blends the covert tension of The Rook by Daniel O’Malley with the ensemble grit of The Dresden Files, delivering a high-stakes, globe-spanning mystery where magic, monsters, and morality collide.
🌼 The Girl of Morning Glory (MG Contemporary Fantasy)
When a whisper gives you life, even the tiniest soul can master it—and defy death.
“I am awake.”
A nameless doll blinks to life atop a tidy home-office desk, where dust motes drift in sunbeams, dual monitors hum with cold light, and towering bookshelves brim with glossy tomes. She marvels at every detail—until Graymalkin, a sleek gray cat with a dry wit, appears and declares, “All things live truer when they have names.” Thus, the doll becomes Morning Glory, apprentice to feline guardian and guide.
In a single remarkable day, Glory bargains with the spider Aranea to rescue a trapped bee named Mifeng, then consults her picture device to understand spiders’ vital place in the world. Each discovery cements her fragile spark of life—but as night falls, she drifts into sleep unsure if she’ll awaken again.
Dawn brings not Graymalkin’s reassuring purr but two solemn cats—Osiris and Bastet—who reveal that Death has claimed her mentor. Grief ignites fierce resolve in Morning Glory’s heart. Armed only with the names she’s learned, cryptic visions whispered by Graymalkin, and boundless curiosity, she must cross thresholds both familiar and unknown. From the cavernous desk surface to the perilous Outdoors, Glory’s quest to understand Death—and to rescue the one who named her—will teach her the true power and price of every word.
The Girl of Morning Glory blends the heartache and hope of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane with the nature-steeped wonder of The Wild Robot, inviting readers ages 8–12 to believe in the magic hidden in every name.
