  The queen is on a rampage. Captured by an evil sorcerer and changed into a swan, her only daughter has disappeared. Determined to rescue his betrothed, Prince Siegfried disguises himself as a commoner and blunders into the Dark Forest with little more than a quiver of arrows and a charming smile. 
   
  But instead of finding his betrothed, Prince Siegfried discovers Dilla, a girl with forbidden healing magic. Dilla has too much at stake to be distracted by the handsome stranger in her forest. She is the only witness of the curse that befell Princess Odette. Dilla's magic might be the princess's only hope of becoming human again. But how can Dilla risk using her power to help the daughter of the very queen that drove her into hiding in the first place? 
   
  With the threat of execution circling Dilla's neck, and heartbreak waiting for the prince, she and Siegfried must race against the clock to free Odette. If they can't, no healing magic will be enough to stop their kingdoms from plunging into war. 
   
  With star-crossed romance and pulse-pounding action, The Sorcerer and the Swan is the fairytale retelling you've been waiting for.

  Violet 
   
   
   
  When my mum gets sick, I volunteer to fill in for her and clean some hot jock's penthouse. I've heard all the rumors about him, so the plan is get in, clean some toilet bowls, and get out. After my last experience with a "sports hero," I'm done with that sort of guy. 
   
   
   
  But Lucas Carter is full of surprises. He wants to help me clean and is nothing like the toad the press has made him out to be. Resistance may be futile for some girls, but not me. Then he asks me to help him with the interior design of his new place. I can't say, no. It's going to look great on my resume. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, spending time with Lucas is dangerous. He's so charming and sweet, but I can't let myself forget—once a player, always a player. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  To young trainee Rain Barynd, becoming a Council Guard in bucolic New Haven will secure a positive future that involves neither farming nor any real fighting. Impressing his girlfriend’s skeptical parents and overcoming a handful of bullies among the trainees—along with the inexplicable intensity of his trainer, a decorated warrior from the East—are his greatest challenges. Or so he believes. 
  A rare and ruthless bandit attack marks the beginning of the mayhem that engulfs Rain’s childhood home and sets him on an unimaginable path that includes … his own magic? Talismans that enable travel to other worlds? Griffons and dragons, ancient nemeses thought to be long extinct? Strange metal beasts that spit bellowing fire? And even elves of fairy tale, as real as the dwarves? 
  Amid a besom of chaos and doubt, Rain must work with members of a mysterious ancient order to piece together a growing convergence of clues long prophesied. All while trying to figure out his place in the madness. Only one thing is certain—he is not ready.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.
