The six faces of The Prince with Six Faces. Art by J.E. Holmes ©2024

Anna’s second for-adults fantasy novel, this one featuring a gay relationship with a multi-gendered hero (our prince)! We’re very proud of this one. It is a quick read, has lots of representation, and just enough spice.

The Prince with Six Faces

When a mysterious visitor comes to call, Prince Maximillian finds himself the recipient of an unusual curse. Exiled by his mother the Queen until it is broken, Max sets out for the city of Clockbridge in hopes of finding answers.

Instead, he fumbles his way into trouble with the ruling Guild and into the arms of one of its enforcers.

Cormac leads a busy life— a woodworker, a barman, and a Guild heavy—but he’s never met anyone who changes shape every dawn. As he works to help Max and protect him from the Guild that controls Cormac’s life, Max captures more than just his interest.

As Max and Cormac fall deeper in love and into intrigue, questions arise that draw Max back home. Was his exile truly his mother’s own decision? Can he reach her and repair their strained relationship?

And is his curse truly a curse after all?

Fortune’s Gambit

Cressida and Miles have escaped from Cinderbloom Academy. Determined to bring its Headmaster to justice for his cruel experiments on students like them, they must spirit his laboratory notebook across the continent to the international Tribunal. If they don’t, the Headmaster’s twisted vision for a better world is just beginning.

As they make their way into Belovia, they endure wave after wave of assault by fellow students. They navigate old hurts, awkward family reunions withintense political ramifications, and questions about the future—all while fighting for their lives— to hold to account the teacher who stole their futures and humanity.

But as they do, Cressida has strange dreams of a devilish entity claiming to be connected to her by the Headmaster’s ritual. Its words cause her to question everything she knows, from history to magic, even to the question she has yet to answer: what is she now?

And is it even possible to be made whole after what the Headmaster has done?
