About this ebook
Noble or ignoble, human or otherwise, everyone knows there is only one person in Ashbury to turn to when things go horribly awry: the self-proclaimed "Lady" Maris Goselin. Handy with a spell or a blade, Maris is known for her wit, her cunning, and her temper-and of course for her loyal bees. Having clawed her way out of poverty to the fringes of respectability, this lady-of-all-trades never shies from a challenge-be it tentacled horror, an arrogant noble, a dark spell threatening to destroy the world, or her superstar minstrel ex with his gorgeous new girlfriend. But nothing that life throws at her could possibly match up to Maris's ultimate adversary: herself.
Readers are in for a wild ride in this cheeky, fast-paced adventure debut, set in the medieval Duchy of Ashbury, where nothing is what it seems and everything is possible.

Mistress of Bees is loud, brash, sometimes shocking, and often moving in ways you won’t expect. I’d recommend it to fans of dark fantasy, lovers of irreverent narrators, and anyone who wants a story that feels alive, buzzing, and just a little dangerous.
