    "Another breath-taking series by Christina Bauer! Beholder takes a new twist on Necromancers and Casters and it is absolutely fantastic." -- Angelic Book ReviewsMedieval mages, slow-burn love and heart-pounding action! The first two books of the popular Beholder series are now in one collection. Like GAME OF THRONES? You’ll love BEHOLDER...CURSED (Book 1)Most days, Elea couldn’t care less about being a witch, even if she does have special powers over spirit and bone. Why bother with incantations when you’re a farm girl? Elea only uses her Necromancer magic to speed up chores and scare off suitors.Everything changes when the evil Necromancer Tsar curses Elea. Now, she only has five years left before she burns as a ghost, tortured for all eternity. They say there’s nothing she can do, but Elea disagrees. Embracing her Necromancer ability, Elea trains as a magical assassin. Her goal? Kill the Tsar before his curse kills her. After years of preparation, Elea’s finally ready to strike.That’s when everything goes horribly wrong.A handsome warlock named Rowan steps up to help. Elea wants him as an ally, but she can’t ignore the mixed-up feelings that come with every one of Rowan’s crooked smiles. An assassination mission is no time to fall in love, but Elea’s heart may have other ideas…CONCEALED (Book 2)As a Grand Mistress Necromancer, Elea’s a witch who commands the ultimate power over spirit and bone. It’s magic that she’ll need in order to stop the Vicomte Gaspard from killing her Sisters by draining their magic along with their life force.To find and free her fellow witches, Elea must venture into some of the most dangerous places in the realm. What starts off as a rescue quest could easily turn into a suicide mission. And with the handsome warlock Rowan along to help, Elea may be risking more than her life.

  • Queen Guinevere: other stories from the court of King Arthur

    Mary Hoffman, Christina Balit

    Hardcover (Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Oct. 19, 2015)
    "When the messenger rode across our narrow bridge, I was looking out of a window. My blood seemed to stop its journey around my body when I saw the livery of Uther Pendragon. That's the second sight. All the women in our family have it to some extent..." In this dramatic retelling, based on Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, Britain's legendary King Arthur and the tales surrounding him are viewed from the perspective of eight women. Determined and resourceful, they drive the Camelot story through love, hate, intrigue, enchantment and tragedy as, one by one, their voices come swirling out of the mists of time to tell their stories.

  • Wolves & Roses: Book 1 in the Fairy Tales of the Magicorum

    Christina Bauer

    Paperback (Monster House Books, Oct. 31, 2017)
    Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose has a problem. She's descended from one of the three magical races―shifters, fairies, or witches. That makes her one of the Magicorum, and Magicorum always follow a fairy tale life template. In Bryar's case, that template should be Sleeping Beauty.Should being the key word.Trouble is, Bryar is nowhere near the sleeping beauty life template. Not even close. She doesn't like birds or woodland creatures. She can't sing. And she certainly can't stand Prince Philpot, the so-called "His Highness of Hedge Funds" that her aunties want her to marry. Even worse, Bryar's having recurring dreams of a bad boy hottie and is obsessed with finding papyri from ancient Egypt. What's up with that? All Bryar wants is to attend a regular high school with normal humans and forget all about shifters, fairies, witches, and the curse that Colonel Mallory the Magnificent placed on her. And she might be able to do just that--if only she can just keep her head down until her eighteenth birthday when the spell that's ruined her life goes buh-bye.But that plan gets turned upside down when Bryar Rose meets Knox, the bad boy who's literally from her dreams. Knox is a powerful werewolf, and his presence in her life changes everything, and not just because he makes her knees turn into Jell-O. If Bryar can't figure out who―or what―she really is, it might cost both her and Knox their lives... as well as jeopardize the very nature of magic itself.Fairy Tales of the Magicorum 1 - Wolves and Roses2 - Moonlight and Midtown3 - Shifters and Glyphs4 - Slippers and Thieves5 - Bandits and Ball GownsMore from Christina Bauer:- Angelbound (YA Dark Fantasy)- Beholder (YA Dark Fantasy) - Dimension Drift (YA Urban Fantasy)
