Wedding impeccably researched history to prose and themes reminiscent of classic hard-boiled writers, The Curse-Maker is a thrilling and suspenseful journey into a dark corner of Roman Britain you've never seen before. When Roman physician Arcturus and his stunning wife, Gwyna, arrive at Bath for a holiday, a dead body is floating in the sacred spring. It turns out that the murdered man is a curse-maker whose invocations actually come true, and as murder follows murder, it looks like there's now a curse on Arcturus. This is an exciting and exotic story of a spa town where people go to heal...only to wind up dead. And it takes the doctor-investigator on a dark road -- into Roman cemeteries, silver mines, and underground water tunnels -- to comprehend the twisted mind of a killer bent on revenge.

“In this slow-simmering but rewarding retelling, first-novelist Bunce presents an innovative interpretation of Rumpelstiltskin.” —Horn Book Winner of the William C. Morris Award for a Young Adult Debut An ALA Best Book for Young Adults A Smithsonian Notable Book An Oprah’s Book Club Kids’ Reading List Teen Selection The gold thread promises Charlotte Miller a chance to save her family’s beloved woolen mill. It promises a future for her sister, jobs for her townsfolk, security against her grasping uncle—maybe even true love. To get the thread, Charlotte must strike a bargain with its maker, the mysterious Jack Spinner. But the gleam of gold conjures a shadowy past—secrets ensnaring generations of Millers. And Charlotte’s mill, her family, her love—what do those matter to a stranger who can spin straw into gold? This is an award-winning and wholly original retelling of “Rumplestiltskin.” “Set in a rural valley in the late 1700s, this reworking of the ‘Rumplestiltskin’ story includes ghosts, witchcraft, elements of Georgian society, and much earlier folk magic in the guise of a novel of manners.” —School Library Journal “A Curse Dark as Gold beats the hell out of any fantasy novel I’ve read this year. Her heroine/narrator is immensely appealing; the atmosphere of a world on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution is completely believable; and the suspense of the story builds so craftily that I started taking notes on just how she does it.” —Peter S. Beagle, World Fantasy Award-winning author “An intelligent, original, and interesting new take on an old fairy tale, and a marvelous debut novel.” —Teen Book Review

Not even a sly fox shifter can run from Fate. Soraya Rostami is tracking a Black Witch responsible for a curse that killed many, and her current lead is tied to her Fated Mate: the Portland Ghost. Black Witches took much from Soraya in the past, including her father, and it was all possible because of a Fated Mate’s betrayal. Most shifters think Fated Mates fix everything, but Soraya knows better. The fact her Fated Mate is involved in this investigation can’t be a good thing. An untrained witch is caught in another’s trap. Evelyn, the Portland Ghost, uses her ability to melt into shadows to hide. She was abandoned by the person she trusted most, and now she’s unable to open her heart to anyone–even though she wants to. Evelyn has made a home for runaways and steals from the rich to provide for them. Recently, however, Evelyn has been doing jobs for an enigmatic client who pays more. Rather than thieving, she’s been planting jewelry that feels… odd. A string of curses lead to an ancient evil that will destroy Portland, and the only way to stop it is if Soraya and Evelyn can work together and mend their hearts along the way. — Vixen x Thief is a sapphic (FF) Fated Mates urban fantasy with some spice. If you like your romance built on top of a world of magic and a healthy helping of mystery and action, you’re in the right place. Intended for readers 18+. — ABOUT THE SERIES Fate has been compromised. Soulmates are supposed to meet when and how Fate commands. However, the world of Trinity is broken. Some Soulmates are still on course, but others have been cut off. The Matchmaker Witch’s mission is to bring as many lost Soulmates together as possible and therefore fix Fate before the world is destroyed. While By the Matchmaker Witch is a series, each book works as a standalone and will have either an HFN or HEA. However, some subplots may be ongoing. It would be best to read this series in order to avoid any spoilers.
