Blurb:

Twenty-three-year-old Briar Pryce has earned a little rest and relaxation. She’s rescued her best friend from being transformed into a cat and stopped a war in the Poisoned Apple, New York City’s hidden neighborhood of counterfeit curses and fairy tale trickery. All Briar wants is to have a carb-filled brunch, gossip over a couple of mead-mosas, and maybe figure out if she’s actually in a love triangle with her high-school crush and her strait-laced business partner.

But relaxing is hard when the city starts screaming.

Some malevolent curse has invaded the dreams of the sleeping princesses across the Apple, spreading nightmares and violence throughout the city. What’s worse, a militant new faction of knights has used the chaos to grab power and trap Briar’s community in its authoritarian grip. If Briar’s going to be able to free the princesses and stop these fairy tale fascists, she’s going to have to solve a deeper mystery: the origins of her own uncontrollable, emotion-altering powers. Briar and her friends will journey from the depths of the enchanted Afterwoods to the penthouses of the Upper East Side to stop the knights, wake the princesses, and save the Poisoned Apple.

And hopefully still fit in that brunch.

Blurb:

Briar Pryce has the power to change the emotions of others by handing

them a rose. It is a talent that has done surprisingly little for her,

besides landing her a dead-end enchantment delivery job and killing any

chance she had with her childhood-crush-turned-roommate. Worst of all,

her ability might be responsible for getting her best friend transformed

into a cat via a cursed muffin basket. Needless to say, Briar is nowhere

near happily-ever-after. But that’s just life as a twentysomething in

the Poisoned Apple, New York City’s lost borough of fairy-tale wonder

and rent-controlled magic.

When Briar reluctantly agrees to help find a princess’s kidnapped

boyfriend in exchange for reversing the curse on her friend, she gets

the heroic quest she never really wanted. Unfortunately, the life of a

noble heroine is not all it’s cracked up­­ to be – the hours blow, and

Briar suspects that the Royal family employing her might be evil,

Republican, or both. To complete the suckage, a killer smoke magician is

stalking Briar as she searches both the Poisoned Apple and Manhattan for

the missing boy. As tensions between the Poisoned Apple royalty ignite

and civil war looms, Briar must figure out how to write her own happy

ending--or she’ll just be ending.
