Book Description
In her middle years, the mining dwarf Ember is well set in her ways. Her position as the master blacksmith of Eldur Hollow is a surety that has never been challenged. However, after Ember sees a green light cross the sky, she swings her hammer in her forge and sets the whole burrow ablaze, destroying all she has worked decades to create. Unbeknownst to any in Ambergrove outside the forbidden lands, the Age of Magic has begun. Kaenye, the god of fire, is Ember’s only hope at learning how to control her newfound magic and return to the life she’s always known. With nothing but meager supplies and a command to find a woman in a red dress in Port Albatross, Ember leaves her home behind and ventures into a world that distrusts her and the destruction that unwittingly comes at her hands. Ember is a maker, but harnessing her magic and convincing those she meets—and herself—that fire magic is not something to fear is a task for a giant, not a mining dwarf. As Ember relearns how to live, she also learns that magic has a purpose, and she is not the only one who needs to learn how to harness her fire. This mining dwarf has her heart set on returning to the forge, but as long as there is an ember, the fire will burn—and the life within the flame is not always what we expect.

Book Description
Will they be able to discover what true love is really like, or will the war tearing countries apart rip that opportunity from their grasp before they can venture forward in faith? Ember and Virginia are sisters living with their family in southwestern Montana with dreams that go far beyond the small farming town and its inhabitants. Ember Hirschel has little interest in men of any kind since her last attempted relationship ended in shambles--that is, until she meets the charming Lieutenant LaHaye, who quickly steals her heart and leaves her wondering what a future would be like with him by her side. But life in 1941 is not easy, especially for a young couple whose lives could easily be torn apart by the war raging on between nations. When disaster strikes and leaves Ember with little to cling to, will her faith and trust in God bring her and the people she cares about into a safety net of happiness and peace? Though she loves her job as a nurse in her small hometown, Virginia Hirschel longs for excitement and maybe even a handsome young beau to bring some adventure to her rather dull life. When her qualifications as a nurse are called into question, Virginia begins to wonder if she was ever meant to care for the sick and dying. And when a handsome young soldier makes it clear he wishes to court her, Virginia couldn't imagine a more tempting prospect. But maybe Virginia's plan for her life isn't the same as God's plan for her future. Accepting and acknowledging that reality are two different things. And when faced with a crisis in her new relationship, will Virginia choose to persevere in faith or let go of the dreams she once thought impossible?

In 1876, Tilly, a recently married young English woman, is reeling with shock and guilt after her tempestuous marriage ends in horrific circumstances on the remote Channel Islands. Determined to get as far from England as she can, she takes on a new identity and a job on Ember Island in Moreton Bay, Australia, where she becomes the governess to a prison superintendent's young daughter, Nell. Tilly fights her attraction to the superintendent, Sterling Holt, and befriends one the few female inmates, Hettie Thorpe, and a dangerous relationship develops. She doesn't know that Nell is watching her every move and writing it all down, hiding tiny journals all over Starwater, her rambling manor home.

Her poet boyfriend has recently broken up with her, and a reporter who is digging into her past insists on speaking to Nina about her great-grandmother, Nell.

Book Description
Nobody leaves Queen. On the tidally locked planet, a vulva and an authority problem are the only immigration requirements. Emigration is banned. Ember spends her days cruising Queen’s endless sand dunes, hunting sand pirates and wallowing in memories of her dead wife. After an ambush, Ember is dragged to the pirate camp and learns her wife’s biggest secret—before her death, she’d joined the pirates, built an illegal spaceship, and plotted to leave the planet. Ember, Nadia, and the sand pirates must take back the planet and expose the corrupt New Earth mining. Taming giant beetles, wrestling stinkhorn fungi, and enlisting Queen’s rabbit population in a high-stakes aerial battle are just part of the hijinks that will determine Queen’s fate as a galactic player, as well as the futures of all its conscripted inhabitants. The newly minted outlaws must also grapple with Queen’s narrow concept of “womanhood” and where trans and intersex people belong in its future.
