Sabrina and The Lady
Sabrina was just trying to bring coffee to her best friend. She didn’t think she’d discover magic was real. But there she was, dripping in spilled latte, watching a woman she’d known for years somehow use vines and dirt to create a protective wall around them, blocking the advances of three magical beings. The same beings who were calling her BFF their sister and saying her name was Nin, not Nina. Even more surprising, they were throwing around the title “Princess.”
Sabrina’s in shock. Nin has to confront family expectations and her abusive ex-turned-tyrant. And both must rely on their strength, loyalty, and, oddly enough, all that academic knowledge of John Milton Sabrina has floating around in her head. If the pair can’t get it together, these two friends, and the rest of Fae, may be doomed.
Find out what happens when you mix Milton with fantasy, magic, and a little Kentucky sass.

Magic stirs and a little dog speaks: the kingdom will fall. But will humans listen?
Jake is a fluffy little dog who just happens to be one of the Sculptor’s “wise ones” . . . but nobody’s told him.

The queen senses the danger and pays for her instincts with her life.
Jake knows something is wrong, but what can he do? Beezeldorn is always one step ahead, moving into the castle, earning the king’s confidence, and befriending James. Even Janice is drawn to him.
