A Kingdom In Ruin (Kingdoms of the Fae Book 1) by Ashley Driggers
In a far-off Kingdom of the human realms, a young princess awaits her twentieth Birthday Ball. Terran Everheart is soon met with a powerful ruler over the Kingdom of Darkness, which is in the lands of the High Fae. Her birthday soon becomes a desperate fight to save her family and kingdom from being destroyed completely. The fae lord gives her an ultimatum…To come with him to the Court of Darkness or feed her family to his personal monster.

The Weight I Carry by My'kael Phillips
The Weight I Carry is a tender picture book about a young boy learning to understand the emotions and memories he holds inside. Through gentle storytelling and evocative art, it invites children to explore feelings like grief, love, and hope—and reassures them that they don’t have to carry it all by themselves. Perfect for family read-alouds, classrooms, and libraries, this story opens the door to meaningful conversations about healing, connection, and the ways we honor what matters most.
