In ancient Britannia, the warrior who brought down the king stag was named the defender of the land. Eartha’s brother Balen has been in love with Princess Galiene since they were children. Upon the death of the High King, the tribesmen of the realm vie for the throne, and with it, the hand of the princess.
Balen is desperate to win his lady, but a rival tribesman is equally determined to keep them apart. With her brother, her dearest friend, and the country she loves hanging in the balance, Eartha must do the unthinkable to ensure her brother’s victory in the stag hunt. Sometimes true love needs a helping hand...or for blood to be spilled.
Johnny might be a nerdy gamer, but not even death can stop him from protecting his kid sister. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if he has to do it in the form of a mangy Tom cat.
This short story also includes a sneak peek at Laura DeLuca's full length novel, The Forgotten Pharaoh.
Lenore’s life was
just beginning when one terrible night destroys all her well-laid plans. Scared
and ashamed, she wasn’t searching for love, but Ford offered it anyway. His
constant support not only wins her affection, he heals her bruised heart and together,
they’re ready to fly into a new beginning.
Ten years later, Lenore never imagined anything could
shatter their happily ever after, but taking flight always means there’s a
chance to crash and burn. Lenore fights fiercely for her husband, but some
demons are too powerful. Sometimes, even love isn’t enough to ground you when
you’re waiting to fly.
If you’re a reader who loves discovering new authors and getting a few surprises along the way, the Ivory Chapters Subscription Box is a hidden‑gem that deserves a spot on your radar. It blends books, lifestyle goodies, and a touch of whimsy into a monthly package that feels like a personal gift.
Each month, Ivory Chapters curates a box built around a featured novel, then pairs it with themed goodies that match the vibe of the story. It’s part book discovery, part self‑care, and part “ooh, what’s this?”
Every box includes:
A featured book — A fresh, engaging read from an author you may not have discovered yet.
Bookish lifestyle items — Think, bookmarks, teas, or cozy accessories.
Themed surprises — small treats that tie into the story or season.
This is the kind of box that feels curated with intention, not just stuffed with filler. This month I got to try one of their boxes. Check out my unboxing video:
Unboxing this was so much fun and even the presentation is perfect papers the wrap the book is always beautiful, the themed surprises make reading even more fun. If you’re someone who loves supporting authors, discovering new reads, or just treating yourself to a monthly pick‑me‑up, Ivory Chapters is a great fit. It’s also a perfect gift for the book lover in your life especially the ones who already have too many books (as if that’s a thing).
Abandoned as an infant, Morrigan spent years shuffled around the foster system, never finding a permanent home. People either bullied or avoided her, sensing she was different. She does her best to keep her abilities hidden: the power to move objects with her mind, control fire, and glimpse the future. Believing her dreams of mystical creatures and castles are her imagination, it isn’t until Filtiarn appears, the dark knight of her fantasies and the man tasked with guiding her to the magical land of Tír na NÓg, that she realizes her true identity. Once reunited with her mother and grandmother, will their triad be able to save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil?

Aurnia O’Clery believes in science, facts, and what she can see with her own eyes. And that belief has served her well over the past twenty-seven years. It sealed her off from trusting the airy-fairy tales of enchantment and powerful legends her Irish granddad spun to convince her everything would be all right. Even after her mother’s suicide. After her dad abandoned her.
Growing up on the family’s horse breeding farm she learned life’s lessons the hard way: bad things happen, and the world isn’t fair. Only she secretly wishes it were. Especially when it comes to getting back at the man who took away her last shred of belief in anything good. Just when she thought the world couldn’t hurt her anymore, he manages to rip her heart apart with one final act of cruelty. But in a twist of fate, it appears that someone—or something—hears her prayers for justice and removes him from her life. Permanently.
As strange events continue to unfold, Aurnia is drawn into a mysterious domain where the unseen forces of ancient lore collide with the modern world. She’s forced to grapple with her skepticism and face the reality of a realm far beyond the grasp of science—a world where transcendent spirits play by their own rules.
