Description

Are you afraid of the bogeyman?

Eighteen-year-old Sparrow can’t remember a time when she wasn’t. And neither can her mother—or the trolls, imps, gnomes, and faeries who all live in the Glade and call it home. Though Sparrow’s weak heart keeps her wheelchair bound, she and her mother have dedicated their lives to protecting the Glade, especially from the worst bogeyman of them all: the skin-stealing, poison-ingesting witch called Black Annis.

But one night, Sparrow makes a terrible mistake, and everything she once held dear is taken from her. The Glade is no longer a sanctuary, and the only way Sparrow can save her mother and her friends is to journey out into a monster-ridden world that wasn’t made for her or her wheelchair. Joined by her half-goblin friend, Rush, Sparrow will have to confront her fears before the ones they love are lost forever.

A Daughter of the Trolls will appeal to fans of European folklore and the darker Grimm Brothers’ fairytales. This is a spine-tingling young adult fantasy adventure about evil witches, monsters, and the imperfect heroes who face them all. You’ll join Sparrow and her faerie friends on a life-changing journey where they face not only their outer demons, but their inner ones as well.

A Goblin of the Glade Blurb:

Ten years have passed, but neither Primrose nor her sisters, Poppy and Posy, can shake the belladonna-soaked trauma of their childhood. Though the triplets have grown and are no longer captive, the memory of Black Annis’s iron talons and needle teeth still lingers.

While Posy finds reprieve in studying with the Elder Mother and Poppy drowns her mental wounds in song and service, Primrose copes by traveling wherever the wind takes her. Much like her beloved half-brother Rush used to, she finds solace in seeking new havens. However, news of Sparrow’s dying mother draws Primrose home again, and she resolves to stay in the glade to spend one last Christmastide with the only woman she’s ever called mother.

That is, until a shadowy Pooka appears with a message tangled in Fate’s red thread: a prophecy from the fabled Numina that threatens to upend the family all over again.

With only the suspicious, dark Pooka as their guide, the triplets must follow the Numina’s destined trail to a perilous mountain haunted by trickster spirits. But when their dubious quest delivers them into the claws of the infamous witch Baba Yaga, the goblin sisters are forced to face their childhood nightmares or let the world, and those they love, be forever consumed by darkness.

A Goblin of the Glade, the second book in McKenzie Catron’s “A Numina Parable” series, returns to all the beloved characters of the first book, and then some. Embark on a journey filled with sisterly love and unique companionship in this new high-stakes fantasy adventure reminiscent of Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and European folklore.

A child of the changeling Blurb:

Only three witches remain, and they are desperate to survive.

A decade has passed since The Numina were released from The Between. And despite all efforts, the lands are not only crawling with mutated bogies, but also a mysterious, witch-borne illness called the Stygian Brume. If these problems were not enough, an unexpected darkness enters the glade, one that tears Sparrow and Rush’s family apart. Now, confronted with unspeakable loss, their eldest children are forced to retrace not only the steps of their parents before them, but their aunts as well. 

Join the changeling trio, Swan, Kestrel, and Starling, as they revisit old ghosts and open older wounds by unraveling a new prophecy—one that could predict the worst betrayal—all in the hopes of saving their family and ridding the world of the last witches once and for all.

A haunting journey. A race against time. A prophecy fulfilled. 

A Child of the Changeling, the third book in McKenzie Catron’s A Numina Parable series, brings back all your favorite characters from the first two books, and more. Dive into a perilous, autumn quest that features disability, mental health, and chronic illness representation, heartfelt and heart-wrenching sibling relationships, monsters, and magic. This new, all-or-nothing fantasy adventure is reminiscent of the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and European folklore.
