Of Fire and Ash
“Ceridwen’s repeated volatile actions and battle crescendos may threaten to overrun this kingdom, yet the Fireborn Epic’s first book also benefits from two side trails.”

Shadow
“Kara Swanson’s page-turner soars while wonderfully concluding this creative retelling of the classic Peter Pan.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 14, 2022

Prodigy Prince
“In Prodigy Prince, Natasha Sapienza builds a complex and rich fantasy world that explores friendship and sacrifice through allegory.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 7, 2022

Recorder
“Cathy McCrumb handles heavy subjects with a light touch, keeping the novel from grimness. Recorder is a creative and engaging novel that will appeal to a broad audience.”
