    Summary

    Two women.
    One builds walls with her fists.
    The other plants gardens in the cracks.

    When a quiet florist and a guarded tattoo artist—more familiar with bruised knuckles than blooming petals—become neighbors, their lives begin to intertwine in small, unexpected ways.

    They don’t fall fast.
    They don’t fall loud.
    But something begins to grow.

    In a city stitched together by old scars and second chances, can two people who’ve spent their lives guarding their hearts... learn to let each other in?

    A slowburn story about softness in hard places, finding home in unexpected hearts, and the kind of love that takes root even in the ruins.

    Summary

    The Blueberry Yoghurt Academy - an academy for cookies of all ages, shapes and sizes. Students hand-picked by talented staff would be sure to get along well… right?

    That was what Pure Vanilla Cookie, a very clever sixteen year old cookie, told himself as he made his way through a crowded hallway.

    Pure Vanilla’s steps were paused after his eyes fell on quite the diverse group; four cookies of different Kingdoms. Could they make place for a fifth..?

    Summary

    To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.

    But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.

    Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.
