Synopsis
“Romy, a socially anxious retriever, is the newest resident of the quiet ghost town. New job? Check. New friends? Check. Forgotten memories and unusual supernatural phenomena? Also… check.
Upon arriving in Slumber, Romy quickly realizes that there are more questions surrounding her move than she initially thought. She can’t remember why she came there or how she got there. Things that seemed to make sense at first stop making sense altogether. Many of the residents seem accustomed to life in Slumber, but Romy can’t shake the feeling that there’s more to the strange desert town than first meets the eye.
The mysteries continue to pile up, and with the help of her new friends, Romy sets out to seek the truth while navigating her social anxiety in a quest to discover what brought them there… and how to find their way back home.”

Synopsis
“Magic makes the world go ’round, but no one in Charlie’s world knows precisely where magic comes from. This isn’t her problem. She’s the adopted daughter of a woodcarver and is training to be a librarian. It’ll be a quiet life, but that’s fine with Charlie as magic is summoned through conflict and she would like to avoid that, thank you very much!
Then her birth father shows up to take her from her village and bring her to the King’s court.
Prince Leopold is gifted in the noble arts of diplomacy and combat, but he’s never met anyone like Charlie. Falling in love with her wouldn’t be an issue, except he’s already engaged, and his fiancée is the daughter of a very powerful evil witch. Charlie, panicking, decides to break the news to Princess Robin…but then she finds love at first sight, too.
Now how will they resolve this awkward situation? WELP, now it looks like it is Charlie’s problem.”
