The Curse of the Midnight King Cover Reveal

I have something a little different today– the gorgeous cover of The Curse of the Midnight King is finally ready to share. I first heard about this book on Twitter, and I’ve been excited about it ever since. I love fairytale mashups, and I’ve never seen these two put together before. One of the fairytales gets retold a lot, but the other I’ve only seen a couple of times, and it’s one of my favorites. The Curse of the Midnight King will be released by IlluminateYA in November 2021 and it looks like such a great book! Read on for the description and then check out the gorgeous cover.

Enebish has been deceived by everyone she once considered a friend. On the run across the tundra, her only allies are her best friend Serik and a band of ill-tempered shepherds.

About These Feathered Flames

When twin heirs are born in Tourin, their fates are decided at a young age. While Izaveta remained at court to learn the skills she’d need as the future queen, Asya was taken away to train with her aunt, the mysterious Firebird, who ensured magic remained balanced in the realm.

As the princesses come to understand everything … Continue reading →

About Kate in Waiting

Contrary to popular belief, best friends Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker are not codependent. Carpooling to and from theater rehearsals? Environmentally sound and efficient. Consulting each other on every single life decision? Basic good judgment. Pining for the same guys from afar? Shared crushes are more fun anyway.

But when Kate and Andy’s latest long-distance crush shows up at their school, everything goes off script. Matt Olsson is talented and sweet, and Kate likes him. She really likes him. The only problem? So does Anderson.
