"Summer's Revenge" by Emma K. C. Couette

Two kingdoms, two seasons, and a feud as old as the realm itself.

Prince Isanfier and Princess Skiansy of Summer were four years old when their parents were murdered in their sleep. Twelve years have passed since, but the tragedy has not lost its sting, and Isan is determined to avenge them. He suspects the assassin hails from within the icy clutches of Winter, a kingdom that has always wanted to bring Summer to its knees.

When his uncle, King Arkenier, declares war, Isan sees it as the perfect opportunity to give Winter what it deserves, while his sister fears it will plunge the entire realm into chaos. Isan is willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge, but he is unprepared for the challenges he will face along the way.

His quest will test his strength - both mental and physical - as he braves the Edgewood, fights battles on snow covered fields, and learns of a curse that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

How far will Isan's vengeance take him and will he even recognize himself in the mirror when it is all said and done?

 

Summer's Revenge is the first book of a series by Emma K. C. Couette.

For two lowly functionaries, stopping a doomed invasion might seem like a steep hill to climb. But when all you have is your wits and a broken heart, you really don’t have much to lose.

"A Goblin's Mind" by J.D. Dresner

Where Magic Fails, Therapy Prevails

Doctor Harlow is methodical. Composed. A trusted mind in a kingdom full of unstable ones. On a remote island far from the crown, Harlow treats the bizarre, the enchanted, and the profoundly unwell—with tea, therapy, and an ironclad refusal to get emotionally involved.

But when a quiet goblin arrives—haunted by invisible friends and stories that don’t quite add up—something begins to crack.

At first, the sessions seem harmless. Eccentric, even amusing. Then people begin to vanish. Details shift. Memories blur. And the threads that hold reality together begin to fray like cheap spell work.

As the island slips further out of sync, Harlow must confront a terrifying possibility: the patients aren’t the ones unraveling.

~

For readers drawn to fractured fairy tales, crumbling uncertainty and psychological spirals wrapped in fantasy, A Goblin’s Mind is an unhinged descent into magical therapy, delusion, and the fine art of losing one’s grip.

"If you like your worlds a bit odd, your humor a bit dry, and your moments of heart snuck in between the jokes, this is worth picking up." —Literary Titan
