Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2022 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Myth and Fantasy Studies From the time of Charles Dickens, the imaginative power of the city of London has frequently inspired writers to their most creative flights of fantasy. Charting a new history of London fantasy writing from the Victorian era to the 21st century, Fairy Tales of London explores a powerful tradition of urban fantasy distinct from the rural tales of writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien. Hadas Elber-Aviram traces this urban tradition from Dickens, through the scientific romances of H.G. Wells, the anti-fantasies of George Orwell and Mervyn Peake to contemporary science fiction and fantasy writers such as Michael Moorcock, Neil Gaiman and China Miéville.

Thrust into a tournament to fight for her life, Etta knows something the royal family does not. If they have her killed, they too lose something they hold dear. Their beloved prince. His life is tied to Etta’s by a power they can’t imagine. If she survives the tournament, she must protect him at all costs, despite his family’s persecution of her people. But as she searches for a way to break the unbreakable magic, she realizes he is not the enemy she wants to believe. The closer she gets to Prince Alexandre, the harder it is to remember who she truly is. A girl whose true identity must remain hidden. A girl with an illegal ability that can lead to her execution.

Book excerpt: A new story in the Fantasy and Fairytales series, this can be read without first reading books 1-5. A prince of two kingdoms, yet belonging to none. Tyson Durand once knew exactly where he fit in life. As the son of the Gaulean queen and brother to the Belaen ruler, his loyalty was always divided. Except when it came to her. Amalie Leroy was his home - until she pushed him out of her life. When Tyson's mother summons him to Gaule, she sends him on a mission for the crown: find the outlaw terrorizing the kingdom. He never imagined his search for the criminal would bring him face to face with everything he'd lost. When he learns the truth of the mysterious hooded figure, how far will he go to save a woman who deceived him? Like father, like daughter. Amalie Leroy could never escape the legacy of her traitorous father. But maybe they weren't as different as they seemed. She once had everything she thought she wanted, but it wasn't enough - not when her people suffered under the thumb of the crown. So, she gave it up. She let her prince go, choosing the life of an outlaw over him. And now he's coming for her. No, not as the boy who loved her, but as an agent of the crown to hunt her down. Only, he doesn't know the truth of their past. Amalie thought pushing Tyson away meant he could never destroy her. She was wrong. Inspired by Robin Hood, this is the archer as you've never seen her before.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town in the far north in this “incredibly fun journey through fae lands and dark magic” (NPR), the start of a heartwarming and enchanting new fantasy series. “A darkly gorgeous fantasy that sparkles with snow and magic.”—Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, PopSugar Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her. But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart. Book One of the Emily Wilde Series
