Nine stories come to life in this fantasy anthology imbued with magic and mayhem. Visit faraway lands and local neighborhoods in this collection of fantastic tales. Magic can be found everywhere, if you only know where to look.

Old classics are fractured into exciting new tales in this international collection of magic, mystery, and adventure.Some heroes go searching for their happily ever after: a dragon cocoon hunter explores the dangerous woods for his sleeping beauty; a prince forces a perfect romance on an unsuspecting maiden; and when a girl leaves town, she must quickly decide to trust-or be wary of-a new stranger.Destiny is thrust upon others: a disconnected emperor struggles to retain his title; a frog prince leaves his pond in search of answers; and after Rapunzel is rescued, a new quest is awarded to her savior.Whether it is destiny or choice, all actions have consequences: sibling rivalry pushes one little piggy to extremes and a princess must choose to follow her heart or step up as future queen.Prepare for an adventure as these eight fantastic fairy tales transport you to places beyond your imagination.

The real world and imagination collide in this international collection of paranormal urban fantasies.Some cities are inhabited by lycanthropes: a werewolf-turned-private-eye takes on a kidnapping case that upsets his plans for a simple life; a vegetarian werewolf must join forces with a local pack to save their city; and a twenty-something lycan thinks she's the scariest monster in town until she meets a necromancer.Children are often the center of paranormal activity: a troop of Mountain Gals on a camping trip runs afoul of a witch; a high school outcast pairs up with an angel to guide ghosts to their final rests; a young fae intelligence agent is placed on his first undercover assignment at a high school; and a little girl rattles a zombie-run pub for supernatural clientele when she accidentally begins haunting it.These young urbanites are more than they seem: a kindhearted girl changes her life forever when she offers shelter to an injured hellhound; a runty dragon dwells in the sewers plotting revenge while dreaming of reliable takeout; and an ordinary detective must team up with a young hotshot magician to solve a mysterious disappearance.Step across the paranormal divide with these ten short stories, and you'll never look at your hometown the same way again.

The oldest story can be made new again, changed and altered until it is reimagined and restored.Pride interferes with happily-ever-afters: a proud princess is tested and tests the prince in return; a young thief is caught red-handed and must make amends; and a vain queen struggles to save her stepdaughter.Finding love is not a simple task: a hero searches for the ideal magical bride; an innocent librarian is charmed by a man with a menacing secret; a queen takes a spoiled prince as her sole deckhand; and a well-intentioned princess seeks to make things right with her father.Change causes chaos, for better or worse: a scheming cat seeks to better the lot of his daydreaming master; a cursed pirate captain is given a second chance when he finds a young stowaway; a spoiled teenager suffers the consequences of turning her best friend into a toad; and a thief and a rebel hiding secrets meet at a ball.Follow these characters on their journeys as eleven magical tales are turned on their heads and seen from new perspectives.

New life is given to eleven old stories in this second collection of irresistible fairy tale retellings.Royalty faces magical challenges: a prince uses his powers on a rescue mission and reveals a terrible secret about his people; a king takes drastic measures to save his daughters from a troublesome curse; and a princess befriends an unusual frog.Mythical creatures can be friend or foe: three brothers face a depressed dragon with a legendary treasure; an ancient crow brings a child's wishes to life; and one young girl discovers dragons aren't always the enemy.Heroes come in all shapes and sizes: a miser is in danger of losing everything one cold night; a struggling mirrorsmith meets an invisible recluse; a boy must relive the fairy tale based on his ancestor's life; a child is rejected because of his love of drawing cats; and an evil witch is sealed in a glass coffin.Be transported to new worlds and enjoy fresh twists on old favorites.

Even when we think we're safe, our biggest fears can be revealed, our worst nightmares brought to life.For some, death is inevitable: a suspended detective and killer play a bloody game of cat and mouse; a girl risks her life to save her friends from an urban legend; a doctor's daughter works to uncover the curse on their wayward ship; and an old lady's cats are hungry…very hungry.For others, death would have been an easier fate: a reflection isn't meant to talk, let alone free itself; a priestess must renew her people's magic, but that ritual carries a terrible price; and a famous boy rejects a lovesick girl…and lives to regret it.Through life and death, the only constant is our fear of the unknown: bloody footprints continue to walk around a lighthouse; Grandma's warnings of the Autumn People are finally heard loud and clear; and a girl moves into a new house to find a bloodstained carpet…that no one else can see.Keep the lights on and brace yourself for ten creepy tales of horror and misfortune.

What is the difference between a hero and a villain?A hero should always use their power for good: a detective devotes his life to chasing gifted villains; a girl uses her frost powers to rescue her father; a weary sidekick faces her childhood nemesis; and a young man must protect his loved ones against a tyrannical authority.But having unique gifts means facing tough decisions: a doctor must choose between saving his reputation or his patient; a young woman saves a drowning man and finds herself in danger as a result; a student discovers the consequences of choice; and a wannabe hero takes on a supervillain hoping she'll be invited to the hero's league.And the line between good and evil is oftentimes blurred: a self-made hero crosses that line to save the world; a lovesick henchman blindly follows his master's orders; a mentor attempts to prevent a pupil from being drawn to villainy; a superpowered military team questions their orders despite the inevitable consequences.Follow these men and women as they set out to save themselves, and the world, from the great evils around them.

In this international collection, new life is given to fairy tales, both classic and obscure. Discover unexpected twists on old favorites, and fall in love with new tales and worlds to explore!
