An agent’s guide to Stargazer by Natasha DeHere. An Adult Urban Fantasy Stand Alone with Series Potential In the midst of a centuries-long war, elven Princess Ellery is stripped of her crown and sent on a rite of passage to earn it back within one year and one day. This is the perfect opportunity for her to see the human world. With her former crownguard and a book on human behavior as her guide, Ellery sets off. The only thing she didn't account for was the chaos that is the New York City subway system. Ellery’s situation goes from bad to worse when she discovers someone has sealed the portals. All of them. Sick of living hidden on Earth under constant threat from human discovery, The Cult of the Sevenstar seek to collapse the barrier that separates the two worlds permanently. Lost in an unfamiliar world, Ellery must put her trust in an alluring vampire and the ghost of a unicorn to help find her way back home. Themes: The Corrupting Influence of Power, Ancestral Grief, Fate vs. Free Will, Self-Discovery, Identity and Trauma, The Futility of War, Human Hubris vs. Nature’s Power, Sacrifice and Breaking Cycles Snippet: I raise this rally cry for all fellow non-humans around the world. It is time those of Gaean blood stopped passively allowing our human oppressors to defile our heritage. For too long we have lived in fear. We must not allow our magic to atrophy further. We shall bring back true magic to Terra. We will use force if necessary. Look for the signs. Await further instructions.

A collage of mainly black and green images, featuring skulls, candles, dogs, books, flowers, cottages, forests, and ghosts. There are some graphics on it that show dog paw prints, a teacup, and a moon. The text reads: Houndstooth Hollow: When Artemisia inherits a manor from the mother she never met, she expects newfound wealth and a lovely home in the countryside — not a crumbling gothic manor overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer. In order to pay back her debts and save her new home, she must brave the debutante world to secure a fortune and reluctantly enlist the help of the necromancer, whose dark magic represents everything she’s tried so hard to leave behind. A collage of mostly black and green images, featuring old manor houses, crumbling greenhouses, lots of dogs, and quaint cozy cottages in the sunlight. There are some graphics, such as dog paw prints, a moth, a dog face, and stars. The text reads that this is for fans of gothic cottagecore, afternoon tea & midnight rituals, sentient manor, occult academia magic system, necromancy, forced proximity (haunted house), floriography, haunt the rich, cemetery picnics, and haunting as metaphor. There are also comp titles listed: Belladonna, Half a Soul, The Spellshop, Sorcery of Thorns, The Haunting of Hill House, Crimson Peak, The Addams Family, Tim Burton, India Holton, whimsical macabre, and books where the dogs don’t die.

A flower-seller inherits a countryside manor — overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer.

To keep her new home, she must restore the house & work with the necromancer to expel the ghosts… before she becomes a haunting, too.
