The Fairytale Collection ~ SON OF THE DEEP

Once upon a time…

Orpheo never meant to disobey his father or betray his kind, but when he finds the young human woman weeping over the death of her own father, his compassionate heart moves him to comfort her. 

All Rose ever wanted was to make her father proud, but after the mysterious Boy in the Sea eases her through her grief, Rose throws aside her reservations and vows she will find the boy and marry him. 

As Rose despairs of ever finding him, Orpheo sells his voice to the Sea Witch and gives up his family in a desperate bid to fulfill their love and heal a hundred-year rift between their worlds. But restoration cannot be bought through black magic, and when Orpheo becomes human, Rose does not recognize him. 
​
At the end of all hope, only great sacrifice can bring Rose and Orpheo a happily ever after. 

Praise for Son of the Deep​

“A brave young girl suddenly thrust into leadership, a cynical and jealous best friend, a compassionate merman with an angel's voice ... you've never encountered a ‘Little Mermaid’ like this before. K.B. Hoyle has given us a heartfelt fairy-tale retelling whose characters will charm and delight you.” —Gina Dalfonzo, Author of Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis

The Fairytale Collection ~ SON OF BITTER GLASS

The glasshouse was built for Prince Isbrand’s protection. It is good and will keep out the curse. But the glasshouse cannot keep out the Witch.

Eira does not remember her own mother’s death, but she remembers the day Prince Isbrand’s mother died—for Eira loves her best friend as much as any person can love another. On the day Isbrand’s mother was murdered by the Snow Queen, her best friend was cursed—along with all the kingdom of Ravenia—to a slow and icy doom. But Isbrand’s curse is special, and to save him from the fate his mother suffered, his father, the king, imprisons him in a glasshouse and searches far and wide for ways to save his son.

Isbrand has always loved Eira, but now that he lives under the Snow Queen’s curse, he can’t possibly tell her how he feels. She’s already stuck living at his side in the glasshouse where her fate is tied to his own. And the Witch calls to Isbrand, tempting him, even within the safety of the glasshouse. As the curse’s deadline draws near, no plan of the king’s—or Isbrand’s love for Eira—can keep the Snow Queen from stealing him away.

Left desperate and alone, Eira must set off on an impossible journey into the frozen north to save Isbrand. Trekking through a world of old magic, fae tricksters, and creatures out of time, nothing can prepare Eira to face the Witch at the end of her journey. But enduring friendship and true love might save a kingdom destined for destruction.
