Book excerpt: Sixteen-year-old Rilla Marseas has a gift that would guarantee her a spot in the annual Showcase, a competition to select the emperor's next concubines. All the girls in her village would find it the highest honor for the chance to compete. Five winners enter his harem, and the losing participants secure a reputable lifetime position as a palace servant. Rilla's magical healing voice would make her a top contender if she chose to reveal it, but she has other ambitions. She longs to become a healer. When a palace scout coerces her into revealing her power, she's thrown into the competition, and all her dreams come to an abrupt end. If she wants to win the Showcase, she'll need to learn the secrets of seduction under the tutelage of an experienced concubine and navigate palace politics. Other obstacles in her way include the jealous empress and two dozen contestants who want her to fail. But Rilla soon discovers that the emperor and empress keep girls with magical powers as caged pets, and if they find out she can use her voice to reverse old age and cure all ailments, she will become their caged nightingale. With the help of her allies, the handsome, brooding Prince Carrick, and his mysterious bodyguard, Rilla must find a way to escape, or she will lose her freedom forever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2020 LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE A lush, glittering short story collection exploring female obsession and desire by an award-winning author Roxane Gay calls "a consummate storyteller." From Kentucky to the California desert, these forty-two short stories -- ranging from the 80's and 90's to present day -- expose the hearts of girls and women in moments of obsessive desire and fantasy, wildness and bad behavior, brokenness and fearlessness, and more. On a hot July night, teenage girls sneak out of the house to meet their boyfriends by the train tracks. Members of a cult form an unsettling chorus as they proclaim their adoration for the same man. A woman luxuriates in a fantasy getaway to escape her past. A love story begins over cabbages in a grocery store, and a laundress's life is consumed by her obsession with a baseball star. After the death of a sister, two high school friends kiss all night and binge-watch Winona Ryder movies. Leesa Cross-Smith's sensuous stories -- some long, some gone in a flash, some told over text and emails -- drench readers in nostalgia for summer nights and sultry days. They recall the intense friendships of teenage girls and the innate bonds between mothers, the first heady rush of desire, and the pure exhilaration of womanhood, all while holding up the wild souls of women so they can catch the light.

Nothing can stop the demon tide… Newly exposed as the Black Witch of Prophecy, Elloren Gardner Grey is on the run, not knowing if she’ll find friends or foes. With her fastmate, Lukas Grey, either dead or in the hands of High Mage Marcus Vogel, Elloren knows the only chance of turning the tide of the coming war is to seek allies who will listen long enough not to kill her on sight. In the Eastern Realm, Water Fae Tierney Calix and Elloren’s brother Trystan have joined the Wyvernguard to prepare for Vogel’s attack. But Trystan is fighting on two fronts, as the most despised and least trusted member of the guard. And Tierney’s bond with Erthia’s most powerful river has exposed a danger even more terrifying than the looming war. The Black Witch is back, and the Prophecy is at hand. It’s time to fight. But Vogel has one more earth-shattering revelation for them all.
