Along with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness. Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the fourteenth assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And there . . . much to everyone's surprise . . . she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is! "This delightful fairy tale is sure to please young romantics . . . Neither Kaye's princess nor her book should be considered ordinary." (School Library Journal)

Not all stories have happy endings... But then again, not all stories end at death, either. When a God is inept, he creates wars. When a man is adept, he is hunted. When forced to choose between the two, death is inescapable. This is the question Vis faces on the eve of her wedding; die now, or run forever... Not just in this life, but in the next, and again still... For eternity. In either option, there is only one silver lining... And he’s ready to run. In true surreal form, The Seven Lives Of Silver Linings is an immersive weaving of symbolism and imagery, set across 900 years of scattered secrets. Fully illustrated in bold, brilliant color by artist and author Surrealismac, '7LOSL' is a unique take on esoteric prose, dazzled with fantasy and romance at each turn. "A beautifully entangled web of thought provoking design, epic deception, and powerful love." -Kate S., Artist "An enthralling display of love's turbulent journey, of two worlds coming together no matter what the cost." -Renee D., Philosopher "If you see my husband, let me know... but if you do see him, you've got the wrong guy."

These 30 true stories of take-charge princesses from around the world and throughout history offer a different kind of bedtime story . . . Pop history meets a funny, feminist point-of-view in these illustrated tales of “royal terrors who make modern gossip queens seem as demure as Snow White” (New York Post). You think you know her story. You’ve read the Brothers Grimm, you’ve watched the Disney cartoons, and you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But real princesses didn’t always get happy endings—and had very little in common with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, or Ariel. Featuring illustrations by Wicked cover artist, Douglas Smith, Princesses Behaving Badly tells the true stories of famous (Marie Antoinette; Lucrezia Borgia)—and some not-so-famous—princesses throughout history and around the world, including: • Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe, a Nazi spy. • Empress Elisabeth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who slept wearing a mask of raw veal. • Princess Olga of Kiev, who slaughtered her way to sainthood. • Princess Lakshmibai, who waged war on the battlefield with her toddler strapped to her back. Some were villains, some were heroes, some were just plain crazy. But none of these princesses felt constrained to our notions of “lady-like” behavior.
