"A magical tale, brimming with heart." --Anne Ursu, National Book Award-long-listed author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy Maud has grown up in a house made of gingerbread, wanting nothing more than to be a witch like Mother Agatha. But just like all of Agatha's gingerbread creations--from the magical house to the chocolate mousse squirrel--Maud will turn back into crumbs if anything ever happens to Agatha. This seems unthinkable...until Hansel and Gretel, a pair of witch hunters, push Agatha into the cottage's oven. To save herself and the other creations, Maud will have to go into the dangerous forest of the Shadelands to find the First Witch's spellbook. But with witch hunters on her trail and others interested in the book for their own means, can Maud bring back the only mother she's ever known...or will witch hunters capture her before she can save her gingerbread family?

"These Feathered Flames is a stunning debut as dark, lush, and captivating as the best fairy tales."--Nina Varela, author of the Crier's War duology When twin heirs are born in Tourin, their fates are decided at a young age. While Izaveta remained at court to learn the skills she'd need as the future queen, Asya was taken away to train with her aunt, the mysterious Firebird, who ensured magic remained balanced in the realm. But before Asya's training is completed, the ancient power blooms inside her, which can mean only one thing: the queen is dead, and a new ruler must be crowned. As the princesses come to understand everything their roles entail, they'll discover who they can trust, who they can love--and who killed their mother.
