The conclusion of the Fortune’s Calling trilogy! The Headmaster seemed untouchable until they got him in front of the magistrates—that is, before his machinations crowned him Regent of the Empire. Now, his status and power higher than ever, with ambitions to match, how can Cressida and the Chocolate Rebellion stand up to him?

Fortune’s Calling

Cressida has escaped school, brought its cruel Headmaster to account for his crimes against her and her classmates, then watched him usurp her Empress. Justice may be elusive, but she isn’t done with him—and he isn’t done with her.

The Chocolate Rebellion has regrouped at Malimar, and as spring thaws Belovia, they begin to plot. The Headmaster, now Regent of the Empire, keeps his interest in Cinderbloom Academy. The members of the Rebellion find themselves at odds with the deposed Empress, who would much prefer they loose the Headmaster’s claws from her empire as quickly as possible. But Cressida and her friends have too many attachments to Cinderbloom to let it go.

However, when events pull them back to Cinderbloom, they find the two questions hopelessly entangled. The Headmaster seems to have invited some old friends to the school to test a theory of his, and the ramifications promise to ripple to the nation and perhaps the world.

Cressida is determined not to let it get that far. With the help of her scrappy group of students past and present and the legendary Adash’aan, she sets out to confront the Headmaster at the dual seats of his power—the school that took too much, and a dying Empire on the verge of something new.

She may have left her school days behind, but the question they asked of her remains: what is she willing to lose to succeed?

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?
