About Julie Leong

The Isle of Lonely Monsters: When villagers in the Crownless Kingdom find themselves beset by wicked creatures, they hire Meixin the monster hunter and her trusty hound to rid them of the beasts. What they don’t know is this: Meixin rescues as many monsters as she kills—some of them are just misunderstood—and brings them home to a hidden island sanctuary where they can live in peace. And where Meixin, too, can hide away from prying eyes and keep her biggest secret, the one that explains why she understands all too well what it is to be called a monster. Faran the Green is an upstart sorcerer with something to prove.

The Keeper of Magical Things October 16, 2025

Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful—to the Guild of Mages that took her in as a novice, to the little brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help. Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn’t proven much use to anyone. When Certainty has the chance to earn her magehood via a seemingly straightforward assignment, she takes it. Nevermind that she’ll have to work with Mage Aurelia, the brilliant, unfairly attractive overachiever who’s managed to alienate everyone around her.

The Teller of Small Fortunes November 5, 2024

Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells "small" fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences… Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child.
