    In the world of Magismondo,
    magical powers are rare and in high demand.
    Shape shifters, thought whisperers, aromaticians,
    water drivers, and fire makers are all treasured jewels
    in the royal collections. That is, when they're found.
    
    Arrow knows nothing of all this. She's just a 17-year-old girl,
    who lives with her parents in a forest cabin near the village of
    The Beeches far from the court of the kingdom of Wolverfield.
    
    Nevertheless, Arrow already knows that the tiny spark
    that will sometimes appear in the palm of her hand
    has the power to flare up at the most inconvenient times.
    
    One day, Arrow gets into a fight with her arch nemesis, Fenri,
    and fails to suppress her anger and control her magical powers.
    Soon, rumors of her unruly fire powers reach the royal palace
    and force Arrow to flee The King's soldiers.
    
    Her escape brings her to the capital city of Rimshield,
    where street fights and public disorder are punishable by
    deportation to the Golgutu prison camp beyond the sea.
    
    Now, Arrow must learn to control her temper,
    lest she be forced to spend the rest of her days
    among Wolverfield's most hardened criminals.
    
    Join Arrow on a grand adventure in Magismondo!

    Winner of the Bath Novel Award 2020
    When lonely and socially isolated translator, Gareth, takes up traditional Japanese archery in 1990s Bristol, he learns that to study Kyudo is to reach out, to another culture, another time, other people… But when one of them reaches back, two lives that should never have touched become strangely entangled.
    In wartime Tokyo, Tanaka Mie finds herself wandering the burned-out ruins of her dead parents' fire-bombed home with only hazy recollections of how she survived. Setting out on a hike to a mountain village shrine, away from the charred city, she begins a life to which she is not sure she is entitled, a life which feels like living on the other side of the sky.
    To visit the past or the future, even in imagination, is to change it. But it is also to be changed.
    The Arrow Garden is a delicately-wrought tale of truth, selfhood, and acceptance, which transcends time in its lyrical exploration of what it means to live.

    Safety is not meant for Sadie: After the Forgotten Waters wash her away, she finds her way to shore, travels through a burnt forest, and finds refuge in a small cabin. That is, she finds refuge until the angry Queen of Ashthoreth, determined to destroy Sadie, drags her down through the Valley of Mud. With unexpected help from a trusted friend, Sadie manages to escape, but soon finds herself in front of yet another enemy: Serpythia. In one final act of resistance, Stadie stabs the serpent. Before it perishes, though, it swallows her. She travels through Serpythia’s belly and finds an entire world inside, containing all those who were swallowed over the years and were never able to leave. Is this Sadie’s final journey? Is this where her road comes to an end? Or is there something more to discover, something hidden within the living walls that now contain her?This book is intended for mature audiences and contains disturbing content that may cause the reader to delve into his or her own land of fantasy…just like Sadie. This ebook contains the twenty-second and twenty-third novellas in Nicole Arlyn’s epic dark fantasy series, The Sugarspear Chronicles.
