Quand Blanche-Neige, Cendrillon et la Belle au Bois Dormant se transforment en espionnes de sa Majesté... ... ça ne rigole pas dans le royaume! Leur mission: sauver le prince Armand, kidnappé par la demi-sœur de Cendrillon. Les trois meilleurs agents de la reine sont sur le coup: • TALIA (alias la Belle au Bois Dormant), experte en arts martiaux et bénie des fées; • BLANCHE (alias Blanche-Neige), habile en miroir magique et douée en flirt de survie; • DANIÈLE (alias Cendrillon), princesse et agent débutante, mais amoureuse de son prince. Le trio ne reculera devant aucun obstacle pour que le conte finisse comme il se doit, avec un prince, une princesse et des héritiers. Quitte à demander un coup de main aux nains, qui sont parfois bien contents de pouvoir échapper à la mine.

When Isaac Vainio helped to reveal magic to the world, he dreamed of a utopian future, a new millennium of magical prosperity, but things aren't going as he planned.

Human civilization didn't just fall; it was pushed. The Krakau arrived on Earth in 2104, and by 2105, humanity had devolved into feral monsters. This was an accident, and a century later, the Krakau returned to attempt a fix. Four months have passed since Marion 'Mops' Adamopoulos uncovered the truth behind that accident. During this time, she and her team of hygiene specialists hijacked the EMCS Pufferfish to thwart a bioterrorism attack on the Krakau homeworld. Now, Mops is on a quest to find proof of what truly transpired on Earth. The Krakau are preoccupied with protecting their secrets while battling the escalating aggression of the xenocidal Prodryans. Mops' mission shifts when she discovers a secret Krakau lab on Earth, where a group led by Fleet Admiral Belle-Bonne Sage is developing a new weapon that could either defeat the Prodryans or plunge the galaxy into chaos. To uncover the truth, Mops and her rogue cleaning crew must confront their greatest fear: returning to an Earth overrun by feral apes, wild dogs, and savage humans. The planet has been neglected for a century and a half, and what Mops discovers in the ruins of humanity could change everything—if she survives long enough to share it. Perhaps humanity isn't as lost as the galaxy believes.

Michigan librarian Isaac, stripped of his power, teams up with fire-spider Smudge, dryad warrior Lena, and psychiatrist Nidhi in order to stop a banished queen who has returned in the body of a young girl.

Marion "Mops" Adamopoulos, head of a spaceship's Health and Sanitation crew, guides her team through a zombie infestation and their discovery that the human history they took for granted isn't quite the whole story.

Wars may end. But vengeance is forever. Roudette's story was a simple one. A red cape. A wolf. A hunter. Her mother told her she would be safe, so long as she kept to the path. But sometimes the path leads to dark places. Roudette is the hunter now, an assassin known throughout the world as the Lady of the Red Hood. Her mission will take her to the country of Arathea and an ancient fairy threat. At the heart of the conflict between humans and fairies stands the woman Roudette has been hired to kill, the only human ever to have fought the Lady of the Red Hood and survived-the princess known as Sleeping Beauty.
