Aventurine jest młodą smoczycą mieszkającą w g�rach ze swoją rodziną. Najbardziej na świecie chciałaby polować na ludzi, ale nie może jeszcze tego robić i bardzo się nudzi. Postanawia więc uciec, by zająć się wreszcie tym, o czym marzy. Coś jednak idzie nie tak... Za sprawą cudownie pachnącej zaczarowanej czekolady, kt�rą warzy w kociołku tajemniczy mag, sama zamienia się w... człowieka. A to dopiero początek jej niesamowitych przyg�d!?Zabawna, wzruszająca i smakowicie czekoladowa!?

"I was twelve years of age when I chopped off my hair, dressed as a boy, and set off to save my family from impending ruin. I made it almost to the end of my front garden..." Magic may be the greatest scandal in Regency England. But that's not going to stop Kat Stephenson when there are highwaymen to foil, sinister aristocrats to defeat...and true loves to capture for her two older sisters.

Cordelia and her triplets Rosalind and Giles have lived safely in the castle at the centre of the forest all their lives, protected by the spells their mother has woven. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is when she turns into a dragonfly or a blackbird and can fly beyond the great stone walls. But then one day the outside world comes to them. Two rival dukes and their soldiers have come for the triplets - because whoever is the eldest is the heir to the throne. But their mother knows that since the Raven Crown was broken, no one has been able to rule the kingdom of Corvenne and live, and she will not give up any of her children to that death sentence. When she refuses to reveal which child is the eldest, she is taken prisoner, and Cordelia and her brother and sister find themselves on the run in a dangerous new world. And as they set out across Corvenne to rescue their mother, Cordelia begins to see that there is a deep magic at work, driving her towards a destiny that could tear her family apart, take away her freedom forever or, just maybe, heal a kingdom devastated by a war that has raged for generations.

In a Gaslamp-lit world filled with hags and ogres, three magical queens unite to defend their realms from invasion, leading to unexpected romantic entanglements. Queen Saskia, a feared sorceress, has just seized the throne from her evil uncle and is determined to protect her people from the encroaching empire. Her focus is on her magical experiments, leaving her chaotic library in disarray. When a mysterious dark wizard appears, she impulsively hires him as her librarian. Dubbed "Fabian," he is sweet and nerdy, with peculiar requests—like what a fountain pen is—but he proves to be effective. As he writes her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch ignites her senses, Saskia is unaware that this "wizard" is actually an Imperial archduke in disguise, lacking any magical skills. With dangerous secrets pursuing him and a growing affection for the wicked sorceress, he faces threats from both her adversaries and allies. When his true identity is revealed, their love hangs in the balance—will it be their salvation or their doom?

When a grumpy inventor meets her outrageous new neighbor in the big black castle down the road, more than one type of spark will fly! Mia Brandt knows better than to ever again allow her true powers to be discovered. Ever since her last neighbors burned down her workshop in a night of terror and flame, she's been determined to stay solitary, safe, and - to all outside appearances - perfectly respectable... But Leander Fabian, whose sinister castle looms over her cozy new cottage, has far more dangerous ideas in mind. When he persuades Mia into a reluctant alliance, she finds herself swept into an exhilarating world of midnight balls, interfering countesses, illicit opera house expeditions, necromantic duels, and a whole unnatural community of fellow magic-workers and outcasts, all of whom are facing a threat more ominous than any she's confronted before. Luckily, Mia has unnatural powers of her own - but even her unique skills may not be enough to protect her new found family and help her resist the wickedly provoking neighbor who's seen through all of her shields from the beginning. This novel-length collection includes all four stories and novellas originally published on Stephanie Burgis's Patreon in 2020-2021: Good Neighbors, Deadly Courtesies, Fine Deceptions, and Fierce Company.
