Journey to a dark new magical world in The Hexton Chronicles: The Trouble with Magic, the first in Amy Wilson’s gripping new series, illustrated by Eric Deschamps @ericdeschamps.bsky.social. At its heart lies an unsettling truth: the seeds of magic within us don’t always grow into something good…

Ooh, this was a good day for packages. I got two very different ARCs that I'm excited about - the first book in @amywilsonbooks.bsky.social 's new MG fantasy series, The Trouble with Magic, and @ajhackwith.bsky.social 's adult cozy fantasy novel Goblin Market! They both look great. #booksky

The front cover of Amy Wilson's The Trouble with Magic is gold-foiled, with a twisty, winding pattern around a color illustration of two kids - one white boy in a cloak and one brown-skinned girl with glasses holding magical light in her hands.

The back cover of the advance reading copy of The Trouble with Magic reads: The first in a rich and evocative magical fantasy series. Combining beautiful writing with a dark, sparkling adventure story, this book will stay with you long after you finish the last page!
When Fray's hidden magic is revealed, he is forced back to Hexton - the magical town from which his family were banished. With no one to trust and nowhere to turn, Fray must face people who see his very name as a curse, others who believe he might be the solution they've been searching for, and those desperate to get their hands on his mysterious Croxometer - one of the most powerful magical objects to ever exist. And with the very essence of Hexton in danger, can Fray live up to his magical legacy while also finding the place where he belongs?

The paperback advance copy of A.J. Hackwitch's Goblin Market is illustrated with a painting of one green, pointy-eared goblin woman with a wry expression and a taller, blonde woman inknight's armor, both peering out at the viewer through a large, key-shaped door.

The back cover of Goblin Market reads:
A goblin changeling caught between the human and fey worlds must find a way to save her home in this warm and heartfelt fantasy from the author of Toto and the Hell's Library series.
Being a changeling is hard enough, but Toast was older than most changeling children when her goblin parents stole her back from her human family and returned her to the harsh, bustling world of the Goblin Market, where anything from your fondest dream to your strongest talent can be bought—or sold. Nearly a decade later, Toast has grudgingly cobbled together a life there as the Market's guide for mortal visitors. But when the next arrival is her long-lost sister, and the ancient beast whose magic the Market depends on disappears under strange circumstances, everything starts falling apart. Now the Market itself is dying. With the Summer Court of noble fey plotting to claim the weakened Market for themselves, Toast, her friends, and an infuriatingly charming fey knight with an agenda of her own must negotiate their differences to make the trade of a lifetime and win back the Market's future. To do so, Toast will have to decide what home—and the flawed community within—is ultimately worth.

A quick reminder for everyone in the UK (and mainland Europe, too!) that Wooing the Witch Queen's British edition is currently on sale in ebook for 99p! Snap it up: www.panmacmillan.com/authors/step... #romancelandia

An open e-reader shows the gorgeous UK cover of Wooing the Witch Queen in color on its screen. The e-reader is set on a rustic wooden table beside candles and a pine cone and a cup of hot chocolate with marshallows. A bubble reads: 99p!
