Seasons of Magic: Flurries & Phantoms Series
()
About this series
On the frozen frontier of Europa, the mysteries are as thick as the ice.
Areina never quite fit in with her peers, and her glowing skin and mysterious past certainly don't help. When an icequake breaks crucial equipment on her research station, her adopted father must retrieve backups from the now derelict Station Beta—the very place Areina was rescued from fifteen years earlier in an incident cloaked with questions and classified documents. Then, the scavenging team loses contact with home, presenting Areina with the terrifying possibility of life alone… and a unique opportunity to learn what happened all those years ago.
Faced with a life missing the only person who ever truly accepted her, Areina makes a choice: leave the safety of home and find Terrance's missing team and the truth about her past. But her biggest bully, Bryce, insists on tagging along, and strange things start happening to her, things that should be humanly impossible. And then Bryce reveals a past connecting them more than she'd ever thought possible.
As they approach Station Beta and the answers to both their questions, can they move past their history to forge a real friendship? Or will the wilds of Europa—and the truth—destroy it before it really begins?
This science fantasy retelling of the ugly duckling is part of the Seasons of Magic standalone novella series. If you love space and the stars, mysterious pasts, and unlikely friendships, you will love Selina J. Eckert's stellar tale.

Sometimes the frozen heart doesn't melt… Mermaid princess Iclyn finally inherited her magic and hopes it will bring a closer relationship with her distant stepmother. But those hopes melt away when the king departs on a diplomatic mission, leaving her alone with Queen Hali—and under the queen's influence. Hali takes the opportunity to enchant Iclyn with illegal dark sorcery, sending her to her death. But instead of killing her, the would-be assassin delivers her safely away from the city and out into the ocean, alone. With only a map to a potential safe haven, thought to be nothing more than a myth, Iclyn must find her way without the comfort and protection she had always known and learn how to use her newly born magic. But the queen's plans are bigger than Iclyn, and if Iclyn can't stop her, not only her life will be forfeit. The life of the king—and perhaps all of Iclyn's people—will fall under the queen's cold rule. This coming-of-age retelling of Snow White was a finalist in the Rooglewood Press Five Poison Apples contest and is part of the Seasons of Magic standalone novellas series. If you love mermaids and the ocean, found family, and powerful women, you will love Selina J. Eckert's enchanting tale.
