Lumina and the Goblin King
It is unwise to steal from goblins... In order to save a dying silver kitten, a kind-hearted sprite makes a desperate decision. It is a choice that will change her life forever. Because all debts come due eventually, and a debt to the Goblin King is no small thing. Caught up in an age-old enmity, can Lumina find a way to make good what she owes and still keep all she holds dear? Will the price of her choice be more than she can pay? No matter the answer, some things are worth the cost, whatever it might be. At its heart, Lumina and the Goblin King is a fairytale - complete with goblins, fairies, elementals and the like - plus one opinionated silver cat. There is no obscene language or mature scenes; although there are some mild thematic elements.

As if I didn’t have enough on my plate, there’s also a weird, recent increase in human suicides that definitely feels like it’s linked to something magical. ...

Filled with fascinating historical details and cameos by Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and E. J. Bellocq, Madam is a fantastic romp through The Big Easy and the irresistible story of a woman who rose to power long before the era of equal rights.
