COVER REVEAL!!!!

We're so excited to reveal the cover of Awakened, Roseanna M White's first fantasy book!

Awakened releases in June 2025 and is available for preorder now through our WhiteCrown and READ stores.

Intrigued? Here's a bit more about it:

🌊 👑 🌊 👑

Where sea and land meet, two worlds clash in a fury of waves and wind.
Arden Bleu has always known that her stepsister, Jade, was destined for great things. In a world where beauty follows magic, she has no doubt that their upcoming Awakening ceremony will reveal that gorgeous, kind, compelling Jade is far more than a mere mortal. But when Jade is kidnapped by a mysterious sect of mer on the eve of the newly-returned king’s ball, Arden will do anything to save her sister. Even face down the man she’s always dreaded meeting because of the power he holds over her family, the man to whom her father swore loyalty long before she was born. The Sea King.

Seidon, the Sea King of Daryatla, has grown only more powerful as the centuries have gone by, but lifetime after lifetime have failed to give him what he most yearns for: a family. He knows that it will take a woman of extraordinary power to match him enough to create a child, and no such woman seems to exist…until he feels her magic calling to his one day in the water. And when Arden Bleu, daughter of his most trusted official, arrives to tell him about her missing stepsister, he knows this Jade, with a new magic so coveted that the Mer would risk war with his kingdom to steal her away, may be the one he’s waited centuries for. But how can he and the determined Arden ever hope to find one young woman trapped beneath the waves? Perhaps the Great Golden Sea Hawk who has guarded the sisters all their lives holds the key.

In a world on the brink of war between the mer and the land-dwellers, friendship, faith, and love demand the ultimate sacrifice as both kingdoms seek to unlock the prophesied magic waiting to spring forth: the magic of wind and sky. To the mer, it would mean the freedom to return to the land. To Seidon’s court, it would mean safety from every storm. But how can any human hand wield the wind?

“A fallen woman long steeped in shame, Rebekah finds herself caught between two men and their opposing worlds during the rages of the American Revolution: the Patriot spy who looks beyond her scandalous state as she saves his life during a secret mission for the Continental Army; and her British lieutenant for whom she still harbors sweet memories of first love and the painful separation that caused her fall from grace. As the flames of war rise and General Washington’s armies advance against the British, Rebekah must either take a chance on a love that tantalizes her with a promise of new life and the forgiveness she still believes impossible; or
cling to the familiar if not desolate existence she feels she deserves, even as it carves deeper into her soul. This redemptive story inspired by the woman Rahab in the Bible’s Book of Joshua will touch the hearts of any who feel they are beyond God’s saving grace, with the assurance that His Mercy always makes a way where there is no way.”

“The Scarlet Ribbon is a heart-tugging historical romance skillfully written about the American Revolution with a thought-provoking wink at Rahab’s life in Jericho. I was so quickly invested in the main characters—Rebekah (the pr******te) and Ben (a Patriot spy)—that I couldn’t read fast enough! Though no giant walls fall down, this captivating story reminded me that God's amazing grace can rescue anyone who believes in Him.”

And, of course, we can't forget our latest Christmas release, Christmas in the Castle Library by Ann Swindell.

As reviewer, Laura, so beautifully put it:

"Christmas in the Castle Library was an absolute delight! The story is a perfect start to the Christmas season and a brand new series by Ann Swindell. The characters are realistic and will charm their way into your heart as you journey with them through trials and triumphs in their quest for faith and answers. The kingdom of Lethersby is quite charming as well! I enjoyed every minute I spent there and stayed up too late reading for several nights!"

📚📚📚

Ellie Sawyer has always felt more comfortable with books than people, which explains why she’s now a PhD history student, neck-deep in research, and trying to complete her doctoral dissertation in time to graduate. But the final books she needs are half a world away, in the tiny European country of Lethersby—and the only time she can access the highly secretive Royal Castle Library is over the Christmas holidays.

Ellie is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery that has eluded Lethersby scholars for over one hundred years by figuring out what happened to their long-lost queen, a young royal who disappeared into the night shortly after the outbreak of WWI. And with the help of Mark, the handsome castle staff member who shares her love of history, she just might be able to unravel the queen’s story. But Mark is keeping his own secret from her, and what they discover together could change everything for Ellie—and the entire kingdom.

The third of our Christmas books is The Gift of the Inn by Golden Keyes Parsons.

As reviewer, Nicole, says:

"The Gift of the Inn is one of the most engaging, endearing, and emotional novels I have read in a really long time. This story gripped my heart from page one, and ran me through an emotional roller coaster. Several times, I had to stop my reading and grab my child up and hug her hard, or praise God for my husband’s well being. This book definitely reminded me to be grateful for the protections God has placed upon me and my family."

❤️💚❤️

Despite her best efforts to go through the motions and the good fortune to have a husband stationed stateside rather than in the midst of the brutal combat unfolding in Europe and the Pacific, Christmas Eve is a less than festive time for innkeeper Naomi Lockhart. It’s been especially hard since she, her husband, Quenton, and their daughters restored her parents’ Colorado boarding house and turned it into a charming inn. Residing in the setting of the tragedy and haunted by a heartbreaking and terrible loss, Naomi can’t help but relive the Christmas Eve so many years ago when her infant child disappeared without a trace.

Gracie brushed aside comments about how little she resembled her parents for most of her life without really understanding why they made her feel so odd. A slip of the tongue by her grandmother brings the discovery that the people who raised her are not her birth parents and acts as a catalyst for the start of a search for her real identity. After a whirlwind romance with a young, Europe-bound GI and subsequent elopement in defiance of her affluent, traditional parents, Gracie flees Texas for Colorado, following one of the few clues that she has about her real identity. She finds herself alone and working as a waitress in blizzard-prone Colorado Springs, Colorado at the end of her pregnancy. Snow bound, she struggles to bring her child into the world as she becomes ever more confident that the innkeeper from across the road, who acts as a midwife of necessity, may hold the answers she seeks. Meanwhile, her wounded husband desperately tries to reach her side.

Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, this final novel from beloved writer Golden Keyes Parsons is an engaging story of love, loss and reunion.

Next up for our Christmas reads - one for the younger readers!

The Snowball Fight Professional by Angela Ruth Strong is book 2 in the Fun 4 Hire series and is aimed at the middle grade audience. If you're looking for a fun book to give your kids or grandkids for Christmas, check this one out!

⛄️⛄️⛄️

I, Joey Michaels, am the Snowball Fight Professional.

Basically this means that customers pay me to shoot snowballs at other people. I’m going to use the money I make to buy Grandma a great gift that will impress her with how responsible I am so she will give me a puppy for Christmas. Unless, of course, my cousin Winston has anything to do with it …

Earning the puppy wouldn’t be so hard if I didn’t have the following problems:

1) Winston stealing my employee

2) Winston getting me in trouble every time I do something wrong

3) Winston blaming me for things I don’t even do

If I don’t get the puppy … ugh, Winston will get him. And that’s the opposite of everything I want for Christmas. I mean, it is all about me, right?

Looking for a Christmas read? WhiteFire has several!

First up, Giver of Wonders by our very own Roseanna M White.

This beautifully captivating historical romance is based around the tradition of Saint Nicholas and not only shares how a Christmas tradition began but brings its readers back to the heart of Christmas. A season of Christ, faith, giving, and sacrifice.

❤️💚❤️

A miracle once saved her life ~ will another give her a future?

Cyprus was little more than a child when a fall left her paralyzed…and when the boy known as the wonder-worker healed her. Ever since, she has wondered why the Lord spared her, what he has in store for her. But her pagan father thinks she was spared solely so she could be introduced to the wealthy wonder-worker, Nikolaos.

Nikolaos has never questioned that his call in life is to dedicate himself to the church and to God. Never, that is, until he and his cousin Petros meet the compelling Cyprus Visibullis. For years he struggles with the feelings she inspires…and with the sure knowledge that Petros loves her too.

Petros knows he will never be good enough for Cyprus’s father to consider him as a match for his favorite daughter not as long as Nikolaos is there. But when tragedy strikes the Visibullis family, he will do anything to save his beloved. Unfortunately, his beloved is determined to do anything to save her sisters ~ even at the cost of herself.

As the festival of lights bathes their Greek city in beauty, Cyprus, Petros, and Nikolaos celebrate the miracle of their Savior s birth together one last time. And in remembrance of their Lord’s greatest gift, one of them will make the ultimate sacrifice for the others…and a centuries-long tradition will be born.
