The Springborn

Nothing is ever impossible. ✨

An 1880’s coal town is no place for a girl with antlers.

Once upon a winter’s day, a childless miner and his wife find baby Sabella in a mysterious basket. When she suddenly grows a pair of silvery gray antlers, they hide her from the world in embarrassment and fear.

Seventeen years later, Sabella’s life is nothing but housework and loneliness—but charming, nineteen-year-old Calder arrives on her doorstep determined to change that. He knows her secret and has plenty of his own. Among them: he’s been her unseen protector for years, he has the wings of a moth, and he’s part of the Springborn: a group of people with extraordinary gifts like theirs.

As Calder strives to win Sabella’s heart and the Springborn welcome her with open arms, disaster strikes. She and Calder must work together to save their exceptional family from an unlikely enemy—and in doing so, discover what it means to be true to themselves, their gifts, and each other.

The Gingerbread Queen

Once upon a time, Gretel defeated the witch of the gingerbread cottage and saved Hansel. Now, she must face what the witch left behind...

Germany, 1825. Thirteen years have passed since Gretel and her brother Hansel started new lives in a small town. She’s changed her name, lived quietly, and tried to forget her terrible past—yet gossiping neighbors accuse her of being the old witch’s protégé. When roguish Hansel stirs up the townsfolk’s wrath, she must return to the gingerbread cottage—a place both she and her enemies fear.

Deep within the forest, the white duck awaits Gretel’s return. He and the enchanted forest have plans to nudge her toward a dark, magical future—whether she likes it or not.

Could it be her fate to become the next cruel witch-queen to reign--and to forfeit any chance of a happily-ever-after with a kind and noble man? And what dangerous secrets does the white duck hide?
