Beauty Meets Beast in San Francisco Accepting employment as a governess after hard times hit her family, medieval scholar Rosalind Hawkins is surprised when she learns that her mysterious employer has no children, no wife, and she is not to meet with him face to face. Instead, her duties are to read to him, through a speaking tube, from ancient manuscripts in obscure, nearly-forgotten dialects. A requirement for the job was skill in translating medieval French, and she now understands the reason for that requirement, and assumes her unseen employers interest in the descriptions of medieval spells and sorcery is that of an eccentric antiquary. What she does not realize is that his interest is anything but academic. He has a terrible secret and is desperately searching for something that can reverse the effects of the misfired spell which created his predicament.

The fate of Golgren's burgeoning empire hinges on finding a mysterious artifact in this second Ogre Titans novel set after the Minotaur Wars trilogy At last the Grand Khan of all his people, the half-breed ogre Golgren now has great power—and great enemies. As the Knights of Neraka encroach on one border and the minotaur empire crosses another, the rise of a new, unlikely rival among his own kind augurs the death stroke to all his ambitions—and perhaps his very life. Now Golgren must abandon everything to embark on a quest he can trust to no other. The Fire Rose is a mysterious artifact that could prove the salvation—or destruction—of his growing empire. But Safrag, the new master of the Ogre Titans, is just as eager to claim the precious artifact and promote his own might . . .

Fire Rose, the princess of the red rose elves, is quite different from what you would imagine an elf princess to be: she eats a little too much and doesn't fly very well – but she is full of energy and good ideas. The rose elves live in the flowers of rose bushes in the middle of a large garden. One day, Fire Rose discovers a yellow rose bush at the other end of the meadow. Here she meets Princess Honey Rose and the yellow rose elves. The Fire and Honey Rose elves quickly become friends. Together they go on a treasure hunt. New games are invented. A rainy Midsummer night's party can still be a success. But above all, Fire Rose has to deal with the hostile rose elf Bloomelia.

Zora, the fortune teller, doesn't know what to do when she finds a fire-breathing baby with a curly green tail on the doorstep.
