Covers: The Singer Tales by Deborah Grace White
Another series catching up on reveals on my end, The Singer Tales by Deborah Grace White.
“Song of Ebony”
In a city trapped in the treetops, one princess’s song will change everything
Crown Princess Bianca has always been unusual, from her snow-white hair to the strange way her words dance. But just like every other Selvanan, she’s restricted to the trees, unable to set foot on the deadly soil. That is, until her stepmother betrays her on the eve of her coronation, sending Bianca to the ground to die. Except the jungle floor is not what Bianca expected—from supposedly mythical elves to magic gone wild, it seems there’s much she didn’t know about both her kingdom and herself.
Prince Farrin never intended to get trapped in Selvana forever. He only came to find a cure for his brother’s terrible affliction. But after two years, he’s no closer to his goal. And his continued survival depends on his ability to navigate both the treacherous Selvanan jungle and the ways of the bargain-loving miniature elves.
When he crosses paths with an exiled princess, his course takes an abrupt change. It’s not just because he’s rattled by his all-consuming determination to keep the princess safe. More Selvanans than Bianca will pay with their lives if the pair can’t find a way to outwit her enemies and harness the power of Bianca’s voice.
Song of Ebony is the first installment in The Singer Tales, a series of interconnected standalone novels set on the continent of Providore, where magic is harnessed by singers.

“Song of the Sea”
Sometimes the death of your greatest dream is only the beginning…
Princess Estelle has never been happy in her father’s underwater empire, although she’s ready to do her duty—marry at fifteen and pass her three hundred years in service to family and empire. But when she’s finally allowed to ascend to the surface and catches sight of a handsome human prince, a different—and altogether dangerous—dream starts to grow in her heart.
Demetrius is a merman with one ambition—to earn a place in the emperor’s royal guard. Emotion plays no role in his duty, and Princess Estelle is not strictly under his care. So why does it make him so uncomfortable to see her pain, and why does he allow himself to get caught up in her desperate bargain to win the human prince?
Only, once on land, Estelle finds that neither her plans nor her heart are as much in her control as she thought. Prince Farrin’s dramatic disappearance should shatter her world. Instead, it’s the beginning of a whole new life—one that’s both simpler and happier than the opulence of her underwater palace. But when the prince returns, it’s time to pay the price for her happiness. The bargain she made now threatens to consume both land and sea—and even with Demetrius’s help, the cost of saving her world may be too terrible to be paid.

“Song of Winds”
Can a marriage without trust produce love strong enough to save not only two hearts, but an entire kingdom?
Adrienne’s family has little of value other than her ability to harness magic. They’ve finally saved enough to send her away to study, and all she wants is to use her songcraft to lift their fortunes. What she didn’t count on was her selfish, profligate father reappearing just in time to ruin everything.
Prince Herleif is the rightful king of Frossenland, but his throne is out of reach given everyone believes him dead. That, and he spends his days as a giant bear. He hasn’t lost hope—all he has to do is wait out his curse without slipping up and bringing disaster on his kingdom. Marriage would be too dangerous to contemplate, for more reasons than one. Until he witnesses a scene in a tavern that’s too barbaric to ignore. How could he fail to intervene on behalf of the girl whose father is all but selling her?
Neither Adrienne nor Herleif predicted their marriage. And only Herleif knows the true extent of the danger they’re risking. Even as unexpected feelings begin to grow, how can Adrienne trust a husband who offers her nothing but secrets? When she gives in to fear, she unleashes devastation not only on Herleif, but on Frossenland. Now she must harness her shaky songcraft before it’s too late. Because she’s the only one with the power to save her husband and her kingdom.

“Song of Moonrise”
Princess Rosa wants to be royal about as much as Prince Emmett wants to be a mindless wolf
Rosa never wanted to become a princess through her mother’s marriage to Teren’s king. She especially doesn’t want the pressure to marry according to her new station. She’d rather be running wild on her grandmother’s property in the Forest of Ilgal. Neither the rumors of giant wolves nor the growing danger from the forest’s thickening magic especially trouble her.
Prince Emmett of Medulle is intimately familiar with the dangers of the forest’s magic. His disastrous attempt to alleviate it has already led to four years of fear and shame. And now the wolf in his mind is taking not only his body, but his life. His parents think his limited time should be spent marrying and producing an heir, but romance is the last thing on Emmett’s mind. Who would marry a wolf?
Besides, the vivacious princess and the serious prince don’t even like each other. Of course not. Their only point of alliance is their shared desire to resolve the crisis of the magic in Ilgal. Unfortunately, powerful forces are working against that goal. And as the magic of the forest grows, so does the magic holding Emmett in its grip. Time is running dangerously short for them to find out what’s really at work in the forest…before the wolf consumes not only Emmett, but Rosa as well.

Gisela and her brother have been lost in the woods for years…that doesn’t mean they want to be found
Gisela has had one purpose since she was seven—to protect her little brother Haiden. Abandoned by their parents, he’s vulnerable to anyone who would exploit his singing ability. If they stay hidden deep enough, they might also outrun the terrible prophecy the elf princess spoke over Haiden as a child—the one that destroyed everything.
Crown Prince Otto has little experience of the forest, but he’s determined to do a good job of the task his father set him—to save the Forest of Ilgal from the wild magic overwhelming it. Except the deeper into the forest he goes, the more he realizes how little he knows of Ilgal. The elves seem to be at the heart of the mysteries—if only he could reach them in their sequestered forest city.
When Gisela and Otto cross paths, both of their courses are changed forever. Otto finds himself drawn to the reserved forest girl, in spite of the secrets she clearly harbors. And it takes everything Gisela has to remember that however honest he might seem, the prince is the last person she should trust. Especially when dark rumors are growing and singers are disappearing. And worst of all is the fear growing in Gisela—that the chance connection with the prince will force her to choose between protecting her brother and saving her kingdom.

Miss Phoebe Astin and her brothers, Julius and Ambrose, lead an unconventional life working in the family funeral business – The Economic Undertaker. But Phoebe is not just a talented mortician, she is a medium for the spirit world, and often enjoys the company of her clients before they move on to the next world.
When a gentleman lingers behind before passing over to the other side and begs her to investigate his murder, Phoebe contacts her brother’s friend, Detective Harland Stone, to explain her concerns. Fortunately, the detective – who is new in town and making his mark – has an open mind and accepts that Phoebe communicates with the dead, but is fixed on finding the evidence to support her claims.
It is not long before another body, that of a young woman, is found buried under the hearthstone in a small family home and the likely villain is the very same man who Phoebe’s ghost claimed was responsible for his death. Detective Stone is racing against the clock to find the villain and to prevent any further deaths from those that the villain may love or con into marriage.
Meanwhile, Julius Astin is doing his best to avoid the persistent mothers and flirting daughters who manage to find a way to corner him, and his younger brother, Ambrose, has lost his heart to Phoebe’s friend and reporter, Miss Lilly Lewis, who only has eyes for Julius.

Prior to her death, to mark the 20th anniversary, Mrs Tochborn placed an advertisement in the paper requesting information, or for her child, if he was still alive, to come forth. Two men responded – a butcher and an asylum inmate – claiming to be that very child. Unfortunately, illness took Mrs Tochborn’s life before their claims could be tested. But that’s not stopping the claimants from trying for their rightful inheritance.
Phoebe is surprised when Mrs Tochborn appears in spirit form asking Phoebe for help. The deceased lady still has work to do amongst the living and now having crossed over to the other side, Mrs Tochborn knows the truth of what happened to her son.

Cover: “AGŌN” by YANN
Cover reveal for “Agōn” by YAAN.
Now available in print and ebook!
A new and powerful technology resurrects a long-dead warrior from the distant past, triggering a deadly game of corporate politics. As shadowy schemes spiral out of control, the ensuing bedlam upends life on the crowning achievement of corporatist innovation – Iceberg City. In the thick of confusion, fundamental values bend and then break as each player jostles, lies, cheats and kills for profit. But from within the tortured life of ‘utility’ emerges the ancient call towards the self-determination of meaning – a call which harbours inevitable self-destruction.
“Agōn” is a post-modernist dark fantasy set in a science-fiction world where untrammelled human competition culminates in the breakdown of morality. From breakdown comes greater heights of reflection and morose delectation. At the core of its human drama lies the fraught odyssey through the vale of death, guided by the ultimate alienation of the human creature from its moralities. From this pitiless view of creatural existence-as-rebellion emerges the triumph of convolution and competition, a triumph that suspends all emotion in the soup of its tragedy.

Covers: “Facade”, “Decoy”, and “Vanish” by Camille Peters
Since I am so behind on releases and cover reveals, I’m going to pack three of one series in all at once.
Introducing the first three covers of Camille Peter’s latest series, The Royal Chronicles.
Facade
Princess Evelyn has spent her entire life striving to be the proper princess expected of her…only to suddenly discover that she’s not a princess at all, merely a decoy unknowingly masquerading as the heir to the enchanted throne.
With her identity stripped away and her future uncertain, Evelyn struggles to find her purpose and discovers it in a most unexpected source when she stumbles upon whispers that the true princess’s betrothed is plotting to use his upcoming marriage to steal her kingdom’s rare and precious magic. Desperate to prove that her life has meaning other than being an unwitting decoy, Evelyn comes up with a plan to marry the prince before he learns that she’s a fake in order to protect the kingdom she still cares for.
Prince Ryland has his own reasons for agreeing to the hasty union, for the magic in the princess’s royal bloodline is his last chance to save his kingdom from ruin. However, his careful schemes don’t exactly go according to plan when his unconventional wife proves thoroughly uncooperative and seems to be hiding secrets of her own.
As the two navigate the façades, deceit, and dangers threatening them, the lines between enemies and lovers soon begin to blur…yet their growing love comes at a price. In her effort to protect her kingdom, Evelyn might have just put herself and all her people in grave danger.
Decoy
Blair is a prisoner sentenced to die, but on the morning of her execution, she’s spared the noose by an unusual opportunity: pose as a decoy for the princess and learn which member of the court is the secret assassin after Her Highness’s life. If she uncovers the truth before they strike, she’ll receive a full pardon. But if she doesn’t, she’ll be forced to discover the threat at the cost of her life.
Despite the chance to avoid the gallows, Blair has no interest in helping the royal family…until she realizes that this will be an opportunity to complete the mission she was condemned to die for. But the task proves far more difficult than she anticipated when she finds herself entangled with a handsome and charming man—son of a prestigious dukedom by day, heir to the most infamous assassin house by night.
Luke’s involvement with the intriguing princess is solely for the sake of his own mission, and despite the dangers of getting involved, Blair finds herself captivated by the infuriating lord beyond investigating him as her main suspect. Yet target and enemy quickly find themselves drawn to one another by more than the intrigue surrounding them. With the secrets they both keep, falling in love is far too risky…especially with an unknown assailant and a mysterious curse lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike.
Vanish
Book Three
Now Available for Pre-Order
Coming June 2024
A disappearing curse is slowly consuming the Kingdom of Brimoire, causing everything that falls into its path to vanish…including Princess Lisette while en route to a diplomatic visit to meet her fiancé, Crown Prince Lucian, heir to the doomed throne.
But although Lisette has been tainted with the curse, she hasn’t fully succumbed…though an unfortunate side effect is that she’s now been rendered entirely invisible. With her shy nature her fate initially seems fortuitous, especially as it’s helped her escape her unwanted union…though even an arranged marriage is preferable to disappearing.
While her invisibility allows Lisette to uncover some of Brimoire’s darkest secrets, it does make it rather difficult to fall in love—the fabled cure that may be the last hope for the kingdom on the brink of extinction. On her quest Lisette will not only learn more about herself, her husband-to-be, and what it means to be truly seen…but she’ll discover that the true love she once thought elusive might have been in front of her the entire time.
But how can a fading princess earn the heart of a prince who doesn’t even know she’s there, and all before her limited time runs out and she vanishes forever?

Nor can she believe in the apparent interest of the charming Zeke. No one has ever chosen her over her beautiful sister.
But leaving her new home isn’t an option. Plagued by questions from her isolated childhood, Cadence needs answers, and the Guild might hold them. But as the revelations grow, Cadence must find a way to conceal the truth from her new companions before the sisters’ secrets turn everyone against them.
And as word of Airlie’s power spreads, new danger emerges. Across the kingdom’s border, a threat is growing among the ruins of their former neighbor—enemies who will do anything to get their hands on the sisters and the seeds they contain. No longer able to shelter behind Airlie, Cadence must make a choice. Will she embrace her power—whatever it might be—or pursue a different path?
