AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion story to ICE LIKE FIRE, the sequel to SNOW LIKE ASHES. I say "companion" as it parallels the beginning events of ICE LIKE FIRE -- and as such, you will find a few minor spoilers for ICE LIKE FIRE. If you are the sort of reader who screeches in horror at the thought of a spoiler of any kind, LOOK AWAY NOW. But if you are the sort of reader who flips through the pages of a book, perusing lines here and there before you've quite finished it yet...well, read on, dear rebel reader. Read on. *** SUMMARY: "She was part of Summer, and Summer was part of her, and this land wouldn't abandon her too." Ceridwen Preben, princess of Summer, has spent her life plotting against her brother, Simon, the Summerian king. Simon has embraced the ruling family's reputation for using their conduit to keep their subjects in a state of bliss, and has spent his reign slowly driving Summer into ruin, filling everyone with carelessness and letting them turn a blind eye to Summer's rampant -- and deadly -- slave trade. But Ceridwen refuses to let her kingdom disintegrate, and with the help of her fellow rebel-in-arms, Lekan, she hopes to undo Simon's lethal dealings. But when Ceridwen uncovers Simon's deadliest plot yet, she starts to realize just how deep magic runs -- and that even though her kingdom is one of sunlight, with light, there always comes shadows. *** The first part of this story will appear on Tuesday, September 8. Parts will continue to be uploaded every Tues/Thurs through October 8. Look for ICE LIKE FIRE, out October 13 from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins!

**Featured on DARK FANTASY and ADULT FICTION reading lists** WARNING: EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING THIS STORY IS HIGHLY INADVISABLE. Once Upon A Time, Good Omens, Monty Python, and Arrested Development had a back-alley three-way and birthed a fairytale. Gerald wasn't supposed to be stuck living seven centuries in the future. He definitely wasn't supposed to be "mentoring" The Dark Lord's progeny in the hopes that she would decide to save the world rather than destroy it. In fact, he wasn't even supposed to be named Gerald (the name of every other male in his family for three hundred years), because everyone assumed a weak-chinned, balding, forgettable man, who was just a magician, could never be who Geraldo The Foreshadower prophesied. But that's what assuming gets you, and here he was saddled with a fate he never asked for, in a time he didn't know, surrounded by people he didn't want to like, and he was out of Firewine AGAIN! The Dark Heir is a darkly satirical tale of assumptions, anti-heroes, and apocalypses, where the road to hell is actually a themed water-park slide covered in slightly less urine than a real one. It drops literary and film references faster than an NYC socialite drops names, and promises endless laughs - including, but not limited to, sad chuckles, guffaws, uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate moments, brays, barks, cackles, snorts, cachinnations, and the occasional howl (though that may be the Welsh Werewolves showing up unannounced). Consider yourself warned... Reviews: "Completely and adorably bonkers," says @floranocturna "Hilarious in every way. Even when I cringed, I laughed," says @LadySapphire2018 Winner of The Trident Awards

When an accident ends her life prematurely, Aubrey finds herself plunged into a whole new world. A world of blood, of battles, and of beasts. Forced from her quiet life, Aubrey must learn to fight with courage, honour, and loyalty to survive. She must become Atlantian or die trying.

Discover the history, hidden traditions, and everyday magic of one of the Wizarding World's best‑kept secrets: Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this companion work, I explore how Ilvermorny came to be, what life is really like on its mist‑covered mountain, and how each house - Horned Serpent, Pukwudgie, Thunderbird, and Wampus - shapes the students who call it home. From sorting ceremonies and classes to late‑night common room conversations and rivalries in the corridors, this book offers a closer look at the culture, customs, and character of North America's greatest magical school. New to this edition are some of Ilvermorny's most enduring ghost stories and legends, written by me. These tales of restless spirits, ancient curses, and haunted hallways are woven into the school's history, adding fresh layers of lore for readers who want to see beyond what's written in official records. This book is designed as an informational companion to my other works, Secrets Of The Gordian Knot and Emaline Goode: The Raven of Ilvermorny. Together, they expand the mythology of Ilvermorny, shining a light on the students, staff, secrets, and stories that rarely make it into textbooks. If you're curious about Ilvermorny, its houses, its legends, or the wider Voyageurs Era of the Wizarding World, this is the place to start. And if you have any questions, theories, or ideas about the school or its lore, feel free to ask - I love talking about Ilvermorny. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Ilvermorny. Both belong to J.K. Rowling. The canon world and concepts are hers; I am simply expanding on them with my own original stories and interpretations. My beliefs do not reflect hers.
