Now I have heard loads about Stuff Your Kindle Day on TikTok. I had tried out previous days but found them to be quite disappointing. On Jan 1st, there was a fantasy edition and I RANNNNN. Let’s look at what I got!

Plot: Trying to carve a new career for herself at ‘The City Herald’ newspaper, journalist Ana Davenport is tasked with writing a trivial article about the local witches who live in the countryside. As she reluctantly takes the job, convinced her career is doomed to failure, she instead finds herself embarking on a thrilling quest with the charming occult historian, Ezra Sullivan. The recent discovery of a mysterious witch box, found at the excavation of an ancient monument and burial ground, launches the pair on a journey of revelation, exposing the mysteries of the box, solving its hidden secrets, and uncovering magical relics. Suddenly, Ana’s article has taken a ground-breaking new spin, but there is betrayal and danger ahead. Together, they soon find there is much more than meets the eye with their discovery, and when people who are connected to them and the excavation are brutally murdered, they must race to finish what they started before they become the murderers next victims.

Plot: Crimson Smoke’s first conscious memory is of their appearance in the woods outside of town on a backwater island. Their only friend, the reclusive half-Jotunn investigator known as the Emerald Flame, plans to catch a thief in what he assumes will be a simple case. But when a government agent turns up dead, the pair soon find themselves on the hunt for much more dangerous prey. As the clues in the dead man’s bed lead them deeper into the heart of the island, Crimson discovers there is more than one mystery to unravel. According to Emerald, Crimson is a being made of little more than light and magic, but the genderfluid “sidekick” believes they are much more than that. They make a bet: if Crimson can solve the mystery of the secretive village hidden in the highlands, Emerald will finally admit that Crimson is a person in their own right. With each new clue, however, Crimson learns more about their creator’s tormented past and the history of the village itself. Emerald is keeping dark secrets of his own, and Crimson may have more in common with the murderer than either of them would have believed.

Plot: Aiden Shaw has sailed the known world and fought every monster known to man, but now, he just wants some peace. Unfortunately, tensions are brewing with England, and he is being forced to return to the one place he swore he would never go again: The Red Forest. His wife, Evelyn, is a druid who can bend nature to her whim, but her lack of training makes her fear her powers. This compels her to rely on dark magic to survive. When the King of England captures their children, the two set out through the Moorlands to rescue them. They must depend on others, live off the land, and above all, learn to forgive themselves and trust each other once again.

Plot: A Breton princess at the peak of the French Renaissance, Lilac lives like a prisoner in her parents’ castle after a wicked secret is revealed on the eve of her tenth birthday soirée. Years later, her coronation ceremony looms, and between the riotous townsfolk and scheming nobleman bent on snatching the throne, Lilac prepares for the worst… Until a mysterious letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto, detailing a curious offer to cure her darkness forever. Lilac begrudgingly trades her coronet for a cloak and ventures into the forest Brocéliande in pursuit of the impious enchantress at the edge of town. With only the protection of an inherited dagger and the unsolicited help of a sardonic stranger who inserts himself in her quest, she must traverse Brocèliande and return in time to claim her rightful place as monarch.

Plot: At the center of a forbidden ruin, an artifact of black stone is unearthed. Archaeologist Ru Delara, vilified by the scientific community for believing in magic, is summoned to investigate. But when she arrives, she finds herself inexorably drawn to the artifact, even though it could harbor untold destructive power. Unable to resist its pull, Ru reaches out to touch the stone…  Waking in the dark, naked and alone, Ru sees that everything and everyone within a mile radius has been vaporized. Only she and the artifact remain intact. When a windswept stranger called Fen finds her in this vulnerable state, she has no choice but to accept his help. Determined to discover the artifact’s true nature, Ru and Fen travel to the Cornelian Tower, the scientific heart of the kingdom. But conspiracy brews in the capital city, and it’s clear that Ru isn’t the only person with a vested interest in the artifact. Drawn into a conflict they hardly understand, all while contending with a profound and consuming mutual attraction, Ru and Fen must unravel the secrets of the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands… before its darkness engulfs them all.

Plot: Twelve years ago, Cassandra left Verastarr, the land she had grown to love. Shortly after, she watched the Vanaiyer realm fall to the Nordak. The Vanquishing tore apart the five regions, brought about by Seefers—creatures born of corrupt magic—and the banishment of powers. Shadows are creeping in closer than ever. Entrapped in a mist of time, Cassandra finds herself back in Verastarr. The region is different. Darker. Sinister. Is it the presence of wolvyn Commander, Prince Sébastien Capetian, or something more ominous? Don’t play with the big, bad wolf, unless you want to get bitten. Monsters prowl under the darkness of night, but the dangers hiding in broad daylight are even more treacherous. In a time where those with ancient magic are hunted, can Cassandra trust those around her? A destiny fabricated of secrets and lies. As truths are revealed, Cassandra is forced to take a stab at destiny before she falls prey to the terrors of the Nordak. But it would mean giving up the present … and her future. Is the sacrifice worth the inevitable outcome?

Plot: Maleath Snow is on the run. The King is dead, and the Evil Queen is not at all pleased. When the King met his end, Snow’s conviction never wavered, for the times are dark and justice must be stolen. Now the Evil Queen must die too. To reclaim the White Throne, Snow will need the help of The Seven, a posse of mercenary Mages with a secret hideout in the woods. Her search will lead her to meet Ashton Thorne, Prince and heir of the kingdom of Thorn Hall. Together, Snow, Ash, and The Seven will embark on a dangerous adventure to defeat the Evil Queen. As the last flame of hope is extinguished, darkness calls for desperate measures to be taken. Will Snow’s claim to the White Throne prevail?
