Mia Warner is a girl that wanted to experience normalcy. That is kind of hard when she has four older siblings and four younger ones while being the middle child of it all. Her parents told them that they are getting an award for their accomplishments for helping the community and heading toward the ceremony held in a resort called Cheshire Hills. The problem is her oldest brother's girlfriend, Amanda Jones, who is her bully. Amanda is coming, but Mia couldn't tell anyone since she knew that Amanda's family is rich. But when she came across a flier that showed a carnival, it was almost like lightning struck her as she showed it to her family, and they saw the most amazing things that made Mia's eyes widen in wonder and curiosity that she saw in her dreams. But like all dreams, some must fade away. Will she choose to follow the mysterious ringleader that leads her carnival, or will she stay with her family to face the struggles of reality?

What if every story you'd ever heard was true? Jack killed the giants. Red slayed the wolf. Rapunzel fled the tower. But the greatest one of all, had yet to be told. Once upon a time, the magical Kingdom of Avalon was left to wither and die after the Snow Queen encased it in ice. Its former citizens are now refugees. Which is why crown prince Alex and his protectors are stuck in... Arizona. Tala Makiling has lived her life as an outsider. Her family curse, the one that's doomed her to be a spellbreaker, someone who destroys magic, hasn't won her too many friends. Except Alex, who trusts her and her family to keep his royal identity a secret. And then one night, a famous creature of legend, the Firebird, appears in their tiny town, reigniting hope for their abandoned homeland.

In Victorian London, the fates of physician Simon Bell and apothecary Gaelan Erceldoune entwine when Simon gives his wife an elixir created by Gaelan from an ancient manuscript. Meant to cure her cancer, it kills her. Suicidal, Simon swallows the remainder--only to find he cannot die. Five years later, hearing rumors of a Bedlam inmate with regenerative powers like his own, Simon is shocked to discover it's Gaelan. The two men conceal their immortality, but the only hope of reversing their condition rests with Gaelan's missing manuscript. When modern-day pharmaceutical company Transdiff Genomics unearths diaries describing the torture of Bedlam inmates, the company's scientists suspect a link between Gaelan and an unnamed inmate. Gaelan and Transdiff Genomics geneticist Anne Shawe are powerfully drawn to each other, and her family connection to his manuscript leads to a stunning revelation. Will it bring ruin or redemption?
