  When you’re stuck with the name Beauty, people expect a lot from you—like beauty and grace 
  and courage and a sense of style. But what if you have none of these things? What if all you like to do 
  is read books and search for odd objects that other people drop? Oh, and you have a perfect older 
  sister who really should have had your name instead of you. 
   
  And when you’re a prince, you’re supposed to be athletic and commanding and brave and tall. But 
  what if you are none of those things? What if all you like to do is play the bagpipes (badly), study the 
  stars, and try to figure out how to make worms live forever? Oh, and you also have a perfect older 
  brother who is a lot more princely than you’ll ever be. 
   
  But when Beauty’s life turns completely upside down and she is forced to head out into the world, she 
  has to figure out just who she wants to be. And when Prince Riley suddenly grows fur, and nails as sharp as 
  sticks, he has to learn that appearances can be deceiving. Before Beauty and Riley can save each other, 
  they have to save themselves. 
   
  So journey back to the time when fairy tales were real, and discover the story of Beauty and the 
  Beast like you’ve never heard it before.

  In A CALL OF TITANS, fifteen years of peace in the Ring are shattered when mysterious breaches appear in the magical Shield, allowing monsters to penetrate the kingdom's defenses. As Thor journeys north to investigate the disturbances, his young warrior son Guwayne struggles with living up to his father's legendary status—until a surprise attack on the kingdom forces him to prove his worth.
  
  But dark forces are at work within the Ring itself, as a cabal of nobles who have long plotted against the royal family seize their opportunity. With Thor facing unexpected dangers in the north, Gwendolyn must make impossible choices to protect her family and the realm she loves. 
  
  As threats converge from all directions, the royal family finds itself separated, with the future of the kingdom hanging in the balance—and each of them forced to face their greatest challenges alone.
  
  With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal.
