Bibbidi-bobbidi-blood. Everyone knows that a fairy godmother helped
Cinderella get to the ball where she met the prince. No one knows
that the fairy godmother’s motives for helping Cinderella might
not have been as charming as they seem. Until now … For
centuries, the enchanted members of the Entente used their magic to
keep the Thirteen Queendoms in harmony. Until the day that Queen
Magrit outlawed magic, executed the Entente, and plunged the
queendoms into war. Only one Entente survives. Alone and magicless,
Farrow dreams of nothing but revenge. And the best way to reach the
queen is through her son, Prince Mather, who is nearing the age
when he will need a bride. But the closer Farrow gets to the
prince, the more she finds herself drawn to him. To reclaim her
magic and destroy the queen, Farrow will have to question
what—and more importantly, who—she’s willing to sacrifice.
Set in a lush, dangerous world woven with fairy tale mythology, New
York Times bestselling author Danielle Paige launches a brand new
Fairy Godmother origin story full of intrigue, magic, and romance.

Icarus and Velvet is a YA Fantasy written by award winning novelist
Kate Wiseman. 'We increased the bounty on angels today,' my father
said. He was shielding his eyes as he squinted up through the
ground window at the red, dying sun. 'Five thousand pecs for a
healthy woman or child...' Humanity has splintered. Over millennia,
the Avians of the Clifflands have learned to fly with wings of sky
metal. The Subterraneans venture to the surface only to farm in
vast glass domes. Between them lies the boundless and savage
Wilderness. Suspicion and hostility between their cities shadow
every aspect of life in this post-apocalyptic world. Icarus is a
Seraphim, rare and destined for greatness. When he is sent on a
deadly mission to far-off Subterranean Newtopia, his people's hopes
weigh on him as heavily as the wings on his back, or the bounty he
must capture. Velvet is an outcast, shunned throughout Newtopia and
protected only by her domineering father's influence. Unwilling to
bend to the patriarchal tyranny of the Elders, she dreams of
freedom. Meanwhile, shadowy forces are plotting to overturn the
long-simmering stalemate, unleashing conflict that will usher in a
new and even darker world order. Threatened with a war that will
end their people forever, Icarus and Velvet must struggle to
survive. Flung together by fate, they must forge an alliance - or
die. -- Kate Wiseman

book. Brought to life through Christian Birmingham's stunning
illustrations, this is a magical winter story for all the family.
When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are sent to stay with a kind
professor who lives in the country, they can hardly imagine the
extraordinary adventure that awaits them. It all begins when the
children explore the professor's rambling old house. When they come
across a room with an old wardrobe in the corner, Lucy opens the
door and gets inside. To her amazement, she suddenly finds herself
standing in a wood, with snowflakes falling through the air. Lucy
has found Narnia, a magical land of fauns and centaurs, nymphs and
talking animals and the magnificent lion, Aslan. They are joined by
the beautiful but evil White Witch, who has held the country in
eternal winter for a hundred years. Christian Birmingham's
exquisite illustrations bring the world of Narnia alive and provide
the perfect setting for the carefully abridged story. It is a
classic in its own right and a magical doorway to all the stories
within the Narnia Chronicles.
