What do you do with an entitled princeling brat? The elvish sorcerer Lord Vasil has ruled over his loyal subjects from his cliffside fortress ever since his parents perished from a suspected poisoning some years ago. Isolated and aloof, Lord Vasil gets his needs met by a carefully curated stable of contractual bedmates. But then Queen Gwyneth, ruler of the fae, offers him an interesting proposition: a betrothal to her wayward son Cedrych to thwart him from a life of scandal in exchange for the much-prized shipping routes to the Northern Realm. Their engagement is but a temporary arrangement until the queen can secure Prince Cedrych a more suitable match. Now, Lord Vasil has an impulsive, spoiled brat of a fiancé who does nothing but disobey his every command. Luckily, the cunning lord has some strategies for bringing a headstrong princeling to heel, and it isn’t long before Cedrych is begging the domineering lord for his particular brand of discipline. But Cedrych is not without his charms, and the protectiveness he shows toward Lord Vasil is as maddening as it is addictive. Refusing to return the vexing prince to the fae queen may be considered an act of war, but even more alarming is the tenderness Cedrych inspires in Lord Vasil’s ice cold heart. For of all the sentiments he may be capable of, love simply isn’t one of them... is it? MY PRINCELING BRAT is a character-driven MM romantasy that ends in an HEA. It features an elvish lord with a penchant for control and a bratty prince who seeks to test the very bounds of his patience. Male pregnancy is a possibility, though not featured in this book. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the interior description of this book. All books in the TALES OF THE ARCANE series are standalones, each featuring a different couple.

In Daretana’s most opulent mansion, a high Imperial officer lies dead—killed, to all appearances, when a tree spontaneously erupted from his body. Even in this canton at the borders of the Empire, where contagions abound and the blood of the Leviathans works strange magical changes, it’s a death at once terrifying and impossible. Called in to investigate this mystery is Ana Dolabra, an investigator whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. At her side is her new assistant, Dinios Kol. Din is an engraver, magically altered to possess a perfect memory. His job is to observe and report, and act as his superior’s eyes and ears--quite literally, in this case, as among Ana’s quirks are her insistence on wearing a blindfold at all times, and her refusal to step outside the walls of her home. Din is most perplexed by Ana’s ravenous appetite for information and her mind’s frenzied leaps—not to mention her cheerful disregard for propriety and the apparent joy she takes in scandalizing her young counterpart. Yet as the case unfolds and Ana makes one startling deduction after the next, he finds it hard to deny that she is, indeed, the Empire’s greatest detective. As the two close in on a mastermind and uncover a scheme that threatens the safety of the Empire itself, Din realizes he’s barely begun to assemble the puzzle that is Ana Dolabra—and wonders how long he’ll be able to keep his own secrets safe from her piercing intellect. Featuring an unforgettable Holmes-and-Watson style pairing, a gloriously labyrinthine plot, and a haunting and wholly original fantasy world, The Tainted Cup brilliantly reinvents the classic mystery tale.

An undeniably fierce, unforgettably funny, unapologetically queer feminist romp through the England of medieval legend. Bestselling and acclaimed authors Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner bring readers along on an epic quest for valor, freedom, and, above all, love. A Knight’s Tale meets the Lady Jane series, with a dash of The Great! Gwen is sick of hiding—hiding the fact that she’s taken over her father’s blacksmithing duties, hiding her attraction to girls, hiding her yearning for glory as a knight. Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle of Avington, queen bee of the castle, has never once considered hiding who she is—until now. She’s been chosen as the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers, to be given to whichever knight can claim her hand. And for the first time in her life, she can’t talk her way out of trouble. When Isobelle discovers Gwen’s knightly ambitions, they hatch a scheme together—Gwen will joust in the tournament, disguised as Sir Gawain. Winning means freedom for Isobelle, and glory for Gwen. Losing means… well, let’s not go there. One thing’s for sure: falling in love was never the plan. But the best laid plans…are often trampled all over by dragons.

Grief is Hiding in this Music is the selected poetry of Dalt Wonk. The unassuming, direct, and enjoyable poems in this collection reflect Dalt Wonk’s life in the French Quarter, where he has lived for over 40 years. The collection begins with a section entitled “Exile,” which includes poems inspired by New Orleans and Paris (where Wonk also lived for a decade). Another section entitled “Nocturnes” features poems originally printed alongside the photo-engravings of renowned photographer Josephine Sacabo. And as lagniappe (the New Orleans word meaning “something extra”), the final section features a new translation of the late, great Vicente Huidobro’s surrealist love poem Altazor, Canto II. “Thank goodness for Dalt Wonk and his watchful eye. His collection of poems suggests an interior life full of meaning and wonderment and desire. He points us all to the poetry within.” — Gwen Thompkins (Journalist and Host of public radio’s Music Inside Out)
