Wish of the Wicked

For centuries, Farrow’s family—the Entente—have been magical advisors to the Queen. Until a new queen, Magrit, takes power, outlaws magic, and executes the Entente. Only Farrow survives, with her magic warped beyond repair. Since that day, Farrow has dreamed of revenge. The one way to reach the queen is through her son, Prince Mather, who is nearing the age when he must select a bride. All it will take is a young woman named Cinderella who dreams of true love. With one night, one chance to reclaim her magic and destroy the queen, Farrow will stop at nothing.

More Than This

Before the summer of 1910 drops its last petal, the lives—and loves—of four young women will change in ways they never could have imagined: Newly engaged Ruby Tremaine is eagerly planning her wedding when a nasty rumor threatens her reputation. Olivia Davenport has committed to the social justice cause and secretly hopes she’ll be reunited with dashing lawyer Washington DeWight. Amy-Rose Shepherd is making her lifelong wish of owning a salon come true. Helen Davenport is determined to get over her own heartbreak and bring the Davenport Carriage Company into the new century.

Sky Flower: Memoirs of a Mohawk Woman at the Edge of Two Worlds

Some tattered papers discovered in the ruins of a cabin in the Adirondack Mountains reveal the life story of an old Native American woman, Sky Flower. She records her life from her early memories as a spoiled child in her tribe. She experiences life in a Dutch colony in New Amsterdam, and in a great manor house in Littleton, England, where she becomes a governess. A romantic interlude results in a broken heart and Sky Flower returns to live along the Hudson River, where she starts an informal school, before retiring to the mountains. Sky Flower experiences both the luxuries and hardships of European life in the 17th century, as well as the societal hypocrisies that come with it.
