A book cover for Bodies of Magic by Freya Markse. A deep blue building with a quadrangle, spires and cloisters fills the lower half of the cover with the title text in gold across it. Behind that, the upper background is grey and stormy with a prominent twisting white design that could be a bare tree rising up from the main tower OR an anatomical diagram of the lungs. Centered above the lung-tree are the words DO NO HARM in stark white. Honestly: a complete banger of a cover. Doesn't it make you want to preorder? Yes, yes it does.
BODIES OF MAGIC, out Sept 2026: Grey's Anatomy meets A Deadly Education, a mystery set during the final exam week of a magical medical school. (Or: five queer nerds solve a murder and have some feelings.)
Cover design by Jamie Stafford-Hill.

Housing the Heroine in βCinder Houseβ | BookTrib.

This essay about Cinder House is definitely the most vulnerable, personal thing I've ever written; it took me over a year to get to the point where I wanted to tell this particular story. Thanks to @booktrib.bsky.social for giving it a home! π π₯

A book cover for an eerie fairytale, with absolutely rad art by Cristina Bencina. From a roiling bed of orange and yellow stylised flames arises a narrow grey-blue house, which as it rises into a star-speckled night sky becomes the shape of a woman. This woman-house is gazing in profile into the distance, with her hands touching a necklace of railings. A small figure appears backlit in one of the few windows, down in the 'skirt' of the house. Large pale green letters give the title CINDER HOUSE, and at the very top of the image it says USA Today Bestselling Author, Freya Marske.
Coming in October 2025: CINDER HOUSE, a queer Gothic retelling of Cinderella in which our titular character is a very frustrated ghost! π₯ Fire, skeletons, fairies, intense epistolary friendships, and lots of feelings about ballet.
