Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous (Standard Edition)
STARDEW VALLEY meets STUDIO GHIBLI in a charming cozy fantasy about healing, redemption, and the subtle magic of simple living. Perfect for fans of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea and The Spellshop. Welcome home, weary traveler.
When Oaklin Nettlewood accidentally joined an evil world-ending cult, mind control magic forced them to do unspeakable things. Years later, the realm's heroes have finally saved the day, defeated the villain, and shattered the last remnants of the spell...leaving destruction in their wake. And so, with a spell-damaged memory and whole bushel of trauma, Oaklin escapes to a small farm on the edge of Mossley's Rest and swears an oath: After all the things they were forced to do with their magic, they will never use it again. Ever.
The no-nonsense ghost granny who lives in Oaklin's house has other ideas. As she coaxes Oaklin out of their shell and back into the world, they find companionship (a grumpy horse and a very good dog), friendship (a local bard and magical baker who should just kiss already), and tentative romance (a paladin-librarian who makes Oaklin's heart come alive for the first time in ages.) Magic even seems possible again--though strictly for foraging magical mushrooms and protecting the farm from bugs.
Healing comes in gentle waves, and Oaklin doesn't have to do it alone. So what does it mean when an inquisitor comes to town to hunt former cultists just as Oaklin begins to think that maybe, just maybe, they deserve a happy ending after all?

He honors the pioneering work of the past and details the developments that are hallmarks of the field's present. Dr. Edward Bach discovered the first 38 flower essences in his work to alleviate the root cause of disease, which he found to be a split between one's personality and soul. In advancing this work, David Dalton details how to make and use additional flower essences, beyond Bach's original 38, including how to store them to maintain their potency. He gives methods for determining the action of the flower essences he has used for specific situations, including plant attunement, reading the elemental energy of each plant, and observing flower structure as it relates to the chakra system. Sharing his in-depth interview process, Dalton explains how to review a client's past and present stresses, traumas, emotions, behavior patterns, and physical imbalances to create a full clinical picture and determine which essences to use. He shows how to select and combine flower essences based on the client's need for support and grounding and their readiness to process past experiences. He then shows how to target thoughts and behaviors for change, how to move stuck emotions, how the body processes stress and trauma, and how to release trauma and triggering shadows with flower essences. Elevating Dr. Bach's work for modern needs, this book brings flower essence healing forward into an advanced system for a healthier life. -

Traverse
A forgotten massacre. A patient who believes he's lost in time. A truth more terrifying than nightmares.
Cyrus "Cy" Warren, a postgraduate administrator at Drayman Mental Hospital, has long dismissed his terrifying visions of an alien world as trauma-induced nightmares. But when Wilcox Jennings, a patient claiming to be a 19th-century butler from Bellecliff, a notorious mansion perched ominously at a cliff's edge, arrives vividly describing the same alien realm from Cy's dreams, Cy must question everything he believes.
Now a luxury hotel, Bellecliff was the site of a grisly massacre during the same era Wilcox claims as his own. As Cy is swept deeper into conspiracy and terror, the line between nightmare and reality blurs. Something sinister connects Bellecliff's blood-soaked past to Cy's visions, something unspeakable and fiercely guarded by forces determined to keep it hidden.
Blending horror and science fiction, Traverse is a gripping debut from author E.J. Meyers. It is a chilling exploration of terror beyond imagination.

In the summer of 1964, fourteen-year-old Maralee Truett faces the hardest season of her life-on the land she loves and in a family strained by unspoken pain.
Life on her family's Eastern North Carolina tobacco farm is far from easy. Her father, haunted by WWII, grows more volatile by the day. Her mother retreats into silence, and her brother rebels against family expectations. Maralee, caught in the middle, quietly tends to the animals, her talent overlooked, her voice often unheard.
As the summer unfolds, she finds an unlikely friendship in Josie Billings, a bold Black girl who challenges how Maralee sees the world. And when sparks fly with the new boy in town, Maralee begins to see herself differently.
But when a crisis with her father forces her to act impulsively, Maralee sets off an alarming chain of events that changes everything. In the aftermath, she must wrestle with guilt, loyalty, and the question of whether she can be more than just the girl who keeps the peace.
Heart of the Green Leaf is a moving coming-of-age story about resilience, tackling mental illness, racism, and the legacy of trauma with grace and grit. Written for teens and adults alike, it explores what it means to grow strong-even when the roots are tangled.
