We are so thrilled to share our September Young Adult hint, Mirror World! 🫀🩸
An atmospheric, haunting, romantasy inspired by Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, set in Regency-era England about two sisters fighting to hold on to their manor while deadly monsters prowl along its perimeters—perfect for fans of House of Salt and Sorrows and Anatomy: A Love Story.

Her life as daughter of the Manor Lord of Sussex is better than most. Unlike the commoners, she is immune to the toxic fog that encroached on England generations earlier. She will never become a Phantom—one of the monstrous creatures that stalk her province’s borders—and as long as the fires burn to hold them back, her safety is ensured. She wants for nothing, yet she will never inherit her family’s Manor. She must marry smartly or live at the kindness of her elder sister.

Everything is turned on its head, though, when her father dies suddenly. Torn from her New London society life of ball gowns and parties, she must travel back to her childhood home, the estate of Norland House, and what she finds there is bewildering. Once strong and capable, her sister is withdrawn and frightened—and with good cause. A recent string of attacks along the province’s borders has turned their formerly bucolic countryside into a terrifying and unpredictable landscape. The fog is closing in and the fires aren’t holding, which makes the sisters vulnerable in more ways than one. Because the Phantoms are far from the only monsters in her world, and the other eleven Manor Lords are always watching for weakness.

Revealing her and her sister’s current state to the rest of the Manors is out of the question, but when her sister goes missing, it’s clear that she needs help. Only, who can she trust when everyone seems to be scheming, and when all she holds true feels like it’s slipping right out of her grasp?

On sale now through September 14th (or until we sell out), this chilling gothic tale is the retelling of Jane Austen we have been waiting for. Boxes are expected to ship at the end of September.

worth the wait

I ordered the box in February and didn't receive it till April but it was definitely worth the wait the gifts were all so adorable and the book was to die for. my only problem was of course the wait but I understand that the author took awhile to send the books and the fact that when my box arrived it was insanely damaged, luckily nothing inside was damaged and it was all good so props to you guys for your good packing skills
