Calling all audiobook listeners! We have a giveaway for you!
Author Stephanie Burgis has provided us with 8 download codes for Volume 1 of the Harwood Spellbook which contains the prequel novella, Spellswept, and the first novella in the series, Snowspelled.
The volume has over seven hours of audio content and the download codes will be for Audiobooks.com.
The descriptions for both fantasy romances are below:
Spellswept: A Prequel to the Harwood SpellbookIn the world of the Harwood Spellbook, 19th-century Angland is ruled by a powerful group of women known as the Boudiccate – but in order to become a member of that elite group, any ambitious young politician must satisfy tradition by taking a gentleman mage for her husband.
Amy Standish is a born politician…but Jonathan Harwood is her greatest temptation. On the night of the Harwoods’ Spring Solstice Ball, in an underwater ballroom full of sparkling fey lights and danger, Amy will have to fight the greatest political battle of her life to win a family and a future that she could never have imagined.
It will take an entirely unexpected kind of magic to keep everything from crashing down around her.
Warning: this novella contains forbidden romance, dangerous magic, and political intrigue in an underwater ballroom. What could possibly go wrong?
“A niftily done short romance in a satisfyingly gender-role-reversed world.” – K.J. Charles, author of Spectred Isle
Snowspelled: Volume I of The Harwood SpellbookFour months ago, Cassandra Harwood was the first woman magician in Angland, and she was betrothed to the brilliant, intense love of her life.
Now Cassandra is trapped in a snowbound house party deep in the elven dales, surrounded by bickering gentleman magicians, manipulative lady politicians, her own interfering family members, and, worst of all, her infuriatingly stubborn ex-fiancé, who refuses to understand that she’s given him up for his own good.
But the greatest danger of all lies outside the manor in the falling snow, where a powerful and malevolent elf-lord lurks…and Cassandra lost all of her own magic four months ago.
To save herself, Cassandra will have to discover exactly what inner powers she still possesses – and risk everything to win a new kind of happiness.
“With its unique twist on the Regency Era, SNOWSPELLED is clever, romantic, and filled with magic. Stephanie Burgis is a fresh new voice and I can’t wait to see what she does next. Bring on the sequel!” – Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of the Kate Daniels series and the Hidden Legacy series
Excerpts for both books can be found on Burgis’ website, if you’re curious!

Teleportation! My friends and family are far flung across the world and I would love to be able to see them with a quick teleport.
The ability to read as much as I want without getting tired
Telekinesis. I’d love to be able to move things with my mind.
magically clean house
Levitation/flight, so I can soar over the world in peace.
To heal the sick
to see the future.
I’d love to be able to see the future. Every magical power has its downsides, but since most of my anxieties come from what could happen, I think it would be helpful.
Teleportation would be an easy and inexpensive way to travel in my perfect world.
Ugh! So many good ones to choose from! Probably the ability to stop time. I might be able to get more reading done that way. Although Teleportation would be awesome, because then I could just Jeannie my way to wherever I want!
I always think how I wish I had the option to skip sleep or eating without any negative effects (but still have the ability to do and enjoy it when I wanted to).
The ability to turn a pile of raw ingredients into a delicious meal with a blink.
Teleportation is the only answer. It would change everything. I wish Jumper had been a better movie.
Telepathy. It would make teaching high school students so much easier.
Teleportation. I could live wherever I wanted without worrying about commuting. Also: no more expensive airfare to Asia.
A form of rewind to me to go back in time to correct or adjust something.
I’d love to be able to fly.
Also, I love Stephanie Burgis!!
I have always wanted to be able to teleport. It would save so much time.
Teleportation or telekinesis
Telekinesis, the idea of being able to get the thing I need from across the room without having to move appeals to my laziness 😉
I would love to be able to make anyone I am near recognize and act on their best selves. Then I would have to travel the world meeting as many people as possible….what a chore, eh?
Either teleportation or telekinesis. I have some rocks and dirt in my backyard whose relocation has been an annoyance for a while. Telekinesis would solve this.
Teleportation! Too many friends live far away, so that would be a very useful skill…
Flying and I wouldn’t even care if it had to do it on a broom. 😉
Changing my body shape at will, including hair and such, because it would make being genderfluid so much easier!
I would like to fly ! I have a phobia of heights. I think I could conquer it , I could fly
My answer is always healing powers, with the caveat that I want to be able to affect mental health as well as physical health, including my own, including the ability to healthily mange the feelings of guilty I will inevitably have for not being able to cure the world. 🙂
I’m gonna have to go with the group and say Teleportation. The TARDIS, a portkey, the Floo Network…. whatever it takes.
Flying! I could not only fly over all of the traffic to get where I’m going, but I could also fly up high enough to get to high shelves!
I would love to be able to communicate with animals and to see through their eyes.
Always teleportation for me along with the ability to take 1 other person with me so my husband and I can travel a lot more.
Healing. Handsdown.
I want to be tricky and say the power to mimic another’s powers when I wanted to.
Invisibility or flying. Although teleportation would be pretty cool as well.
Flight. Not for any grand reason, but because I’m super afraid of heights. I think knowing I had an out from heights would help alleviate my phobia.
I think I would choose shapeshifting, a la Nimona.
I would very much like magical healing powers.
Well, my usual answer is teleportation, but shoot, I never even thought about healing powers. Super doctor ftw.
I would love to be able to teleport so I don’t have to take public transport any more!
I have ME/CFS, so I’m going with energy recharge!
