Jack & The Mechanical Beanstalks
(2016)
A twist on the English classic, Keuser bends the tale of jack and his giants with a heavy infusion of fantasy, magic, and romance. Hints of Frankenstein and babel add depth and dimension to Jack’s tale.
Jack has better things to do than jump at the beck and call of his new king. But when a knight descends on his mother’s farm determined to collect him, there’s no refusing. A trip to the palace and a declination of his king’s offer leaves him with a single choice: cross the channel, brave the dark of the jungle, and deal with the threat to their kingdom… or die.
Mixing metal magic with that of nature, Orla makes a fairy’s bargain to avenge the death of her father. With her titanium cages, a witch’s enchanted beans, and the potential to open a portal into the Other, she’ll stop at nothing to destroy her brother and his new fairy queen.
A man with an axe, a princess with a grudge, and a heat that flows between them could set the jungle on fire… assuming they don’t discover the other’s agenda.
