    About this ebook

    Fairytales can be fierce…

    Raven is a hedge witch with a problem. Her homicidal sister is plotting against her and she has a ghost with a fork phobia living in her shoe closet. When the chance comes to crash a christening at the castle, she enlists the aid of her trusty cat familiar, Nona, to help her cast the spell for the perfect dress. But when a blessing turns into a curse, can she find the right charm to fix it?

     

    He might be the Prince Charming she's looking for…

    Marcus of Pendleton is a cat shifter in search of his brother. When a lead at the Warty Frog takes him on an adventure filled with wild magic and well… zombies... can the prince find the fair witch and the answer he seeks? Or will the castle walls keep him entombed forever within the enchanted briar?
