Merrigan wasn't really an evil queen. Her royal siblings referred to her as the brat, and she lived down to it.However, she was married to an evil king. When he lost a fight with a magic apple tree and got himself killed, she did whatever she could to hold onto the kingdom. Including lying to a powerful seer.Big mistake.Merrigan was cursed: turned into an old woman, she was doomed to wander until she learned to care about others. With the aid of a magic book named Bib, she encountered a mermaid trying to regain her tail, a soldier with a magic tinderbox, a merchant obsessed with finding magical cloth, a warehouse full of orphans, and a princess allergic to peas.Forbidden to retrace her steps, she moved from kingdom to kingdom, and totally by accident helped others find their happily-ever-after.

Dragons! Are they good or bad? Do they help humanity or devour them? Depending on the author and the story, you'll find both. In fact, you'll find both within the covers of this book! Jasmine is a human child who loves all the creatures of the forest, but the one thing she loves more than anything else is a rescued dragon egg, the one thing that is forbidden in her village. But perhaps with enough love, her dragon will be different. Won't breaking the rules be worth it if her dragon can protect them all? Fragmar is a wise old dragon who wants very much to be left alone with her books and scrolls. But the ambitions and insanity of the human race call to her for solutions to their dilemmas over and over as the centuries of her life unfurl. Where will it all end? The Hideaway is a cozy little getaway in upstate New York where the wealthy can take their trysts without being seen. At least that's what Alice has been told. But when she finds her husband's car, its interior covered in blood, the plot becomes darker, and much more sinister. Confri Audascus has psionic Talent, which makes her a good candidate for the project with the Defender's crew. Only a Talent can establish communication with the Castitaran dragons, known as numenjax. But when the communication short-circuits Confri and knocks her out cold, she thinks her part in the project is over. Until the numenjax come up with a much more creative plan! The Two Olde Dragons are pleased to introduce The Bard, James K. Bowers, with his epic dragon poems, "Dragonbane" and "Ice Dragon" to open and close the collection.

Ess Fremont already hated her boarding school before discovering the headmistress was trying to steal her inheritance. With her archeologist grandparents presumed dead in South America's turmoil, and her older brother missing, she struck out for freedom. Guided by her grandparents' maxim to always help where she was able, and aided by their inventions, Ess made her mark. First step: reveal a Resurrectionist plot to the Secret Service before the Southerners could re-start the Civil War. Disguised as a boy, Ess headed West. Sharp eyes, scientific principles, and engineering knowledge put her in the right place at the right time to do the right thing. Powerful allies included President Lincoln, the Secret Service, circus performers, train inspectors, and Pinkerton agents. Not bad for a girl between her fourteenth and seventeenth birthdays. If she could only find her missing brother and uncover the secrets their grandparents kept from them...
