Synopsis

Sometimes actions can be more poisonous than any fruit, especially when dark magick is involved… Arabella Cuthbert lives in a magickal world where females aren’t valued. Her future includes a husband, children, and endless days tending house unless Arabella can prevent it. When the young Spelltwister stumbles across a name in an ancient tome, it leads her to the crotchety proprietress of White’s Antiquities and her malus malum. Esther White reveals a way for Arabella to have everything she’s ever wanted—fill the bad apple with the souls of seven evil men. The task makes Arabella question everything she’s worked for, but has she bitten off more than she can chew from the rotten apple? Is it too late to change things again? All Things Dark & Magickal is a young adult series featuring time travel and retold fairy tales.

Not Your Childhood Tale

All Things Dark & Magickal series is not your childhood story. Book 2, Bitter Fruit, contains women who shouldn’t be mothers under any circumstance. It’s a serious twist on Snow White and the main character is anything but good.

Book Excerpt

Bitter Fruit

And it wasn’t like Mother was about to lift a finger to do anything but find a man. It was her lot in life—to be a woman waiting upon a man to save her.

Only someone lacking in education would allow herself to be subjugated in such a matter. I owed my enlightenment not to Mother but to the great authoress Miss Mary Wollstonecraft. She didn’t want women to have power over men but over themselves. It was a notion that my mother wouldn’t accept. Instead, she continued treating me like a useless waif. Disrespecting what I could do and keeping our family mired in debt and degradation. I was willing to embrace her nescient mind if it kept me from engaging in forced labor. Besides, I had the ability to keep myself warm and fed without any wasted effort.
