​
Prince Redley is fifteen and heir to two thrones.
Right now, all he wants is to find his father.
The king has survived an assassination attempt and gone to ground in the far north. The queen has forbidden the journey. So Redley steals a flask of medicine and goes anyway.
What starts as an act of defiance becomes a race through a fracturing kingdom. A fanatical cult is on the rise, targeting immigrants and seizing towns in service of a deeper conspiracy. Redley’s allies are a spy with a drinking problem, a bodyguard running from his past, and a plump orange cat with inexplicably good timing.
He will have to decide what kind of man he wants to be. But first, he must survive.
The Long Road North is Book One in a coming-of-age fantasy duology of found family and political intrigue. No overt magic.

​
Life’s a mess for seventeen-year-old Olivia: she lost her mother, is sent to live with a foster family in England, and now her heartbreak unlocks a dormant Talent, a supernatural ability no one else in the world has. Turns out, that little sleepwalking problem she’s had all her life is a fickle teleportation skill that promptly ejects her into the Alaskan wilderness. Thanks a lot. Much to the dismay of her feminist pride, a grouchy bear puts her in dire need of saving—by a guy. Brilliant.
Nineteen-year-old Jo has secrets he can’t ever share. If he does, he’s dead. Keeping hidden is the only way to free himself from the person forcing him to live in the woods. His rules for survival: stay invisible, stay focused, and for the love of life, do not talk to anyone. Easier said than done when this beautiful, sad girl keeps bouncing back to Alaska, cracking his locked heart wide open.
Drawn deeper into Jo’s secretive spell and the inexplicable bond they share, Olivia investigates why her Talent keeps dragging her back to him, only to suspect he might be connected to the mystery surrounding her missing father who disappeared before she was born. When Jo, desperate to escape the life he’s trapped in to be with the soulmate he never thought he’d find, confronts the person behind his deadly secrets, he’s faced with a Talented mastermind whose blood runs in his veins. Now Olivia must save the boy in the wild from a killer, even when they turn their eyes on her.
In this wildly romantic YA/crossover cozy fantasy, emotions and mystery weave into an unforgettable tale of love and loss, secrets and suspense, and intrigue and magic. Ideal for fans of deep yearning, atmospheric nature settings, and heart-shattering romance.

Folk of the Foundling
by Liv Evans
Blurb -
​
Paloma thought that coming home to the Foundling Inn would mean warm meals, familiar faces, and a chance to grieve her father's passing.
Just when it feels like life might get back to normal, a horde of skeletons bursts through the front door and ruins it all.
But the attack is more than just a random act of violence. The dead are rising, small towns are falling, and their power-hungry regent is too busy preparing for his coronation to do anything about it. Luckily, Paloma's mother and her best friend are no strangers to fighting. Once, they stood alongside their fellow adventurers to stop the regent from seizing control of the realm. Their rebellion might have failed, but their courage did not. After rising from the ashes of their defeat to build the Foundling Inn, a sanctuary for misfits and free spirits, they refuse to let a little something like necromancy tear it down.
Together with old family, new friends, and a talking skillet, Paloma sets out to uncover the cause of the undead threat. Because while the thought of saving the realm may seem a bit too ambitious, protecting their home is non-negotiable.
