Surfacing
Bronwyn Green
A year after Tabby Nolan’s sister vanished from the
Lake Michigan shore with her boyfriend, Liam, Tabby visits the spot where
the two were last seen– and finds herself pulled into the crumbling world
of Avalon.
Since his disappearance, Liam has been trapped in the
mythical land, with no link to the world he knew. Now, their shared
memories of Tabby’s missing sister are all they can cling to as
Avalon dies around them.
But Tabby doesn’t want to be a replacement for her
sister, and her growing attachment to Liam feels like a betrayal. As
Avalon fades around them, Liam and Tabby must rely on each other– or be
lost with the ancient kingdom forever.

hopeless and worthless, she’s ready to start her life over—alone.
When Anna meets an enigmatic stranger claiming to be
the legendary wizard Merlin, she is forced to question the very reality
she’s struggled to accept. With the mythic figures from her
dreams intruding on her waking life, Anna learns that she’s been reborn to
fight an ancient evil alongside King Arthur and his Knights of the Round
Table.
Caught in an ages old conflict, Anna is the key to
stopping a dark magic that will destroy the world—and Merlin wants to make

A Choice Fit For A Queen
Jenny Trout
writing as Abigail Barnette
For perpetual overachiever Madison Lane, a summer
studying Arthurian mythology in the Welsh countryside with professor
Thomas Evans is a dream come true, and the adventure of a lifetime.
Of course, the enormous crush Madison developed on the
professor after a semester of his lectures at U of M has absolutely
nothing to do with her desire to learn more about the enduring legend of
Camelot. At least, that’s what she’s telling her parents.
When Madison meets fellow student Rhys Crewe, sparks
fly, throwing her plans for wild fling with Professor Evans completely out
of whack—as do her unexpectedly complicated feelings for Thomas. With
tales of Arthur and Lancelot haunting her every waking moment, Madison has
to make the most difficult choice of her life.
Surfacing – Excerpt
Mustering up the small amount of strength I had left, I
wrenched away from her and ran into the woods. Branches slapped at my face, and
brambles scratched my bare legs while small, sharp rocks dug into the bottoms
of my feet. I had no idea if Nimue was following me or not, but I wasn’t going
to shorten my lead by turning around and looking. What I really needed was
somewhere to hide. If this was like the rest of the islands around here, there
would be a cave to hole up in or maybe some decent rock formations to use for
shelter.
Unfortunately, this looked like nothing but trees. I saw a
few other paths as I ran, but I couldn’t make myself choose one. Instead, I
just moved heedlessly through the woods, dodging branches as best I could and
hoping Nimue wasn’t behind me.
I couldn’t believe I hadn’t come across any other people—or
even campsites. These islands were never crowded, but they were popular with
the camping and hiking types. I wondered if this island had a ranger station on
it. At the very least, there would be a satellite phone there and hopefully an
actual ranger. I wanted to call out for help, but if I’d lost Nimue, I didn’t
want to give away my location.
Thinking I heard a noise behind me, I put on a burst of
speed. At the very last second, I turned right, heading back toward the shore.
I thought I remembered seeing rock formations that would make a good hiding
spot. I ran into a clearing and skidded to a complete stop. There was a
shirtless guy with an ax. A ripped, at least from the back, shirtless guy with
an ax. I’d been so focused on getting away from the creepy castle and what
might be inside that I’d forgotten I’d heard someone chopping wood, and I
managed to run right into him.
I opened my mouth to call out to him, but worry that he was
one of the people Nimue had mentioned niggled at me, and I shut it. In those
few short seconds, paranoia won out, and I desperately hoped I hadn’t made
enough noise for him to hear me. Carefully, I began backing out of the
clearing, but he turned. And I froze. He stared at me, eyes widening and mouth
open. The ax fell from his hand and hit the forest floor with a dull thud that
seemed to echo in my chest. My gaze crept upward from his slack hand to his
corded forearm, over his tightly muscled stomach and chest to his face. There
was something disturbingly familiar about him. My heart stumbled as I realized
what it was. With the heavy stubble covering his cheeks and chin, he looked
like a slightly older version of Liam.
He took a step toward me, and I tensed, getting ready to
run.
“Tabby?”
I looked at him again. Really looked at him,
this time. As he drew closer, I could make out impossibly green eyes—the soft
green of new leaves. There was only one person I knew who had eyes like that.
