Enter a world of classic fairytales, with a humorous gaslamp fantasy twist. Where Beauty might be an airship pirate bent on revenge, and the Beast might be cursed with a Jekyll & Hyde-like secret. Where the Snow Queen might be an heiress with a heart of ice – and a diabolical machine to create her own Frozen domain. Where Snow White might have alchemical magic of her own to battle the Wicked Queen – in a traveling circus that lost its enchantment years ago.
Alchemy Ever After is a series of pulpy, fun escapist fantasy romps. Each book has a central romance with a different couple. Each book is a standalone, although characters appear in other books. The heroes are flawed, but good-hearted (and get their happily ever after). The villains are bad (and get their comeuppance).
