In 1995 Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on a rare family vacation, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard a cruise ship into the Pacific Ocean. When a shiver of sharks appears in the water, everyone fears for the worst. But instead, Noa is gingerly delivered to his mother in the jaws of a shark, marking his story as the stuff of legends. Nainoa’s family, struggling amidst the collapse of the sugarcane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favor from ancient Hawaiian gods - a belief that appears validated after he exhibits puzzling new abilities.

Get up close and personal with an amazing creature that has invaded our lexicon as well as our restaurants. It breathes with tubes, it has no head or brain, it feeds through a filter, and it is the source of dozens of familiar proverbs ("happy as a clam!"). Clams, it turns out, have been worshipped (by the Moche people of ancient Peru), used as money (by the Algonquin Indians), and consumed by people for thousands of years.

After Princess Alicia finds a magic fish-bone, compliments of her fairy godmother, she eventually uses it to improve financial conditions for her father the king, queen, and her 18 brothers and sisters. This classic bedtime story for kids was written by Charles Dickens in 1867, although Mr. Dickens credits the tale to a Miss Alice Rainbird (aged seven), as it gives a very heartwarming glimpse into a Victorian world which can only be seen through the eyes of an innocent child.

Everyone jokes that the local big-box Swedish furniture store is a maze. They don't know that the bedroom department is literally built on top of a shifting Fae Labyrinth. I just wanted a bookshelf. I took a wrong turn at the meatballs, walked through a display wardrobe, and ended up in the Deep Fae Realm. Now I’m lost in an endless corridor of flat-pack boxes and confusing arrows, hunted by shadow beasts. My only hope of survival? Grael, the Fairy-Fae Guardian of the Maze. Grael is seven feet of winged, muscle-bound terrifying. He’s also hopelessly lost. He’s been wandering these ...

I was broke, desperate, and gullible enough to let my neighbor recruit me into selling "Enchanted Wellness Oils." I thought it was a scam. I didn't know the "Lavender Calm" was actually a potent Fae love potion. And I definitely didn't know I’d accidentally sell a bottle to a disguised Summer Court Prince. Lior is rich, powerful, and—thanks to a manufacturing error—completely obsessed with me. He didn't just leave a five-star review. He showed up at my studio apartment in a limo, demanding to join my "coven." He thinks my sales pitch is a spell. He thinks my downline is a royal court....

Felix Bright has spent two centuries making toys at the North Pole, and the last twelve years trying to figure out who he is without that identity. Working as a coffee shop barista wasn't supposed to lead to anything permanent—until a cursed, ...

I just wanted a quiet corner to ugly-cry. Instead, a dusty old book ate me. Now I’m flat on my back in a fancy throne room, staring up at the kind of fae lord who should come with a warning. Aedrin: tall, smirking, magic curling around him, and eyes that say he’s already undressing me. Apparently, I’m “the Reader” he’s spent centuries summoning. Flattering. Except I have no idea how to get home, and he keeps calling me my little human in a voice that makes me melt. He says he needs my help to restore his power, but every touch and wicked smile feels less like a quest—and more ...

A grumpy fae with a fatal allergy to sweets. A baker who can’t stop tempting him. After my life implodes, all I want is quiet—just me, my aunt’s bakery, and endless buttercream. Then Cieran walks in: all storm-grey eyes, razor-sharp cheekbones, and a growl that sends shivers down my spine. He glares at my pastries like they’re his mortal enemy, orders black coffee—no sugar, ever—and everyone whispers he’s not human. Sweets are poison to the fae, they say. But one night, he gives in. One bite of cake—and the sound he makes is pure sin. Now he keeps coming back, staying late, ...

Auren shows up with designer luggage, a crown-shaped dent in his hair, and absolutely no idea how to function like a normal human. He can’t work the washing machine, burns water trying to boil it, and keeps accidentally summoning flower petals every time he sneezes. Oh, and he’s apparently some kind of fairy prince “undercover” in the mortal world. Sharing an apartment with him is a nightmare. A gorgeous, sparkly, maddening ...

It’s a perfect fish-out-of-water story: LA influencer meets cozy small town. My life is a brand, and I’m one viral campaign away from saving my family’s struggling Vermont farm.

I’m a simple guy. I like my beer cold, my truck loud, and my weekends quiet. I definitely did not order a fairy godmother. I was under the hood of my pickup, covered in grease and swearing at a rusted bolt, when poof. Pink smoke everywhere. And standing in the middle of my driveway is a guy who looks like he raided a Spirit Halloween clearance bin. His name is Aurelian. He’s got shimmering wings, a wand that looks suspiciously like a chopstick, and he insists he’s here to save me from my "wretched existence" so I can go to the Ball. I assume the guys at the construction site sent him ...
