AWARD FINALIST • A BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB PICK &“With a graceful, measured elegance&” (New York Times), this lyrical novel reimagines the life of the infamous queen from the ancient epic the Ramayana, giving voice to an extraordinary woman determined to leave her mark in a world where gods and men dictate the shape of things to come.I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions—much good it did me. So begins Kaikeyi&’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on legends of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the devout and the wise. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to how great a marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear. Desperate for some measure of independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With this power, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most favored queen, determined to carve a better world for herself and the women around her. But as the evil from her childhood tales threatens the cosmic order, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. Kaikeyi must decide if resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak—and what legacy she intends to leave behind.

Par Mary McMyne. 2022
Everyone knows the story of Rapunzel in her tower, but do you know the story of the witch who put…
her there? Mary McMyne&’s spellbinding debut reveals the truth behind the fairy tale—the truth they never wanted you to know, as only a witch might tell it."Smart, swift, sure-footed and fleet-winged, The Book of Gothel launches its magic from a most reliable source: the troubled heart. Mary McMyne is a magician."—Gregory Maguire, NYT bestselling author of WickedGermany, 1156. With her strange black eyes and even stranger fainting spells, young Haelewise has never quite fit in. Shunned by her village, her only solace lies in the stories her mother tells of child-stealing witches, of princes in wolf-skins, and of an ancient tower cloaked in mist, where women will find shelter if they are brave enough to seek it. When her mother dies, Haelewise is left unmoored. With nothing left for her in her village, she sets out to find the legendary tower her mother spoke of—a place called Gothel, where she meets a wise woman willing to take Haelewise under her wing. There, she discovers that magic is found not only in the realm of fairy tales. But Haelewise is not the only woman to seek refuge at Gothel. It&’s also a haven for a girl named Rika, who carries with her a secret the church strives to keep hidden. A secret that reveals a dark world of ancient spells and murderous nobles, behind the world Haelewise has always known.Told from the witch's own perspective, The Book of Gothel is a lush, historical retelling filled with dark magic, crumbling towers, mysterious woods, and evil princes. This is the truth no one ever wanted you to know, as only a witch might tell it.The Secret Destiny of Pixie Piper (Pixie Piper Ser. #1)

fall in love to sabotage her rival.Erin Johnson&’s thirteenth birthday unfolds like any other day, from her mom&’s quirky and embarrassing choice of outfit to racing her nemesis, Trevor Jin, to the best seat in class—front row, center. But her gifts this year include something very out of the ordinary: magical powers. Erin discovers her mysterious father is actually the love god Cupid and she&’s inherited his knack for romance. It&’s not the most useful ability for an overachiever with lofty academic and extracurricular goals…or is it?

He&’s never backed down from a challenge before, but if Erin makes him fall in love with her, maybe he'd drop out of the race and let her win. With her magical pedigree, wrapping Trevor around her finger is a snap, and having him around all the time is a small price to pay for victory. But without their cutthroat rivalry bringing out the worst in each other, Erin realizes Trevor may not be as bad as she thought, and suddenly her first foray into love gets a lot more complicated…The Magician's Daughter
Par H. Parry. 2023
"That most rare and precious thing: a brand-new classic, both wholly original and wonderfully nostalgic." —Alix E. Harrow, New York Times…
bestselling authorIn the early 1900s, a young woman is caught between two worlds in H. G. Parry&’s cozy tale of magic, miracles, and an adventure of a lifetime. Off the coast of Ireland sits a legendary island hidden by magic. A place of ruins and ancient trees, sea salt air, and fairy lore, Hy-Brasil is the only home Biddy has ever known. Washed up on its shore as a baby, Biddy lives a quiet life with her guardian, the mercurial magician Rowan. A life she finds increasingly stifling. One night, Rowan fails to return from his mysterious travels. To find him, Biddy must venture into the outside world for the first time. But Rowan has powerful enemies—forces who have hoarded the world&’s magic and have set their sights on the magician&’s many secrets. Biddy may be the key to stopping them. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more she questions everything she&’s ever believed about Rowan, her past, and the nature of magic itself. Praise for The Magician's Daughter "Brilliantly imagined. Parry blends mythic elements with wit and heart." —Lucy Holland &“A charming romp of an old-school coming of age fantasy about family and magic that will take your heart for a wild ride." ―NPRFor more from H.

"A warm-hearted yet fierce fairy tale."―H. G. Parry In the early 1900s, two sisters must navigate the magic and the dangers…
of the Fae in this enchanting and cozy historical fantasy about sisterhood and self-discovery. There is no magic on Prospect Hill—or anywhere else, for that matter. But just on the other side of the veil is the world of the Fae. Generations ago, the first farmers on Prospect Hill learned to bargain small trades to make their lives a little easier—a bit of glass to find something lost, a cup of milk for better layers in the chicken coop. Much of that old wisdom was lost as the riverboats gave way to the rail lines and the farmers took work at mills and factories. Alaine Fairborn&’s family, however, was always superstitious, and she still hums the rhymes to find a lost shoe and to ensure dry weather on her sister&’s wedding day. When Delphine confides her new husband is not the man she thought he was, Alaine will stop at nothing to help her sister escape him. Small bargains buy them time, but a major one is needed. Yet, the price for true freedom may be more than they&’re willing to pay. Praise for The Fairy Bargains of Prospect Hill:"Brimming with folk magic and delightfully sinister hidden worlds. Truly enchanting.&”―Leslye Penelope "A beautifully written tale of feminine power, sisterly devotion, and magic as old as the hills themselves.&”―Louisa Morgan For more from Rowenna Miller, check out:The Unraveled KingdomTorn Fray RuleKnight's Castle (Tales of Magic #2)
