Martha Oak Adventures is an urban fantasy book series with morally gray women, dark fairytale retellings, fast-paced plots, brutal action, and snarky banter.
Meet The Morally Gray Witch:
Martha Oak and her raven, Ra-Ra, live in Munich, trying to avoid trouble. Unfortunately, trouble always finds her. She tries to be a better witch and helps others now. One impulsive decision later, she is forced to work for a cruel goddess and faced to deal with her painful and bloody past.
Being a citizen of the hidden fairytale and myth society means that she often encounters other characters from myths, legends, and folklore (mainly German or European ones) who need her help or want to kill her.
It is a 50/50 chance – or more like a 20/80 with Martha.
Meet The Fearless Cop:
Rosenrot is an ex-fairytale princess who became the feared director of the fairytale police because of her sharp intelligence, fearlessness, and strict, but empathetic leadership. She would do anything for the ones she loves and taking on responsibility is like breathing for her.
One of her biggest headache though is Martha Oak, the annoying witch with her illegal activities. Until one day, she needs to team-up with her to get some mermaid pearls and ever since her life hasn’t been the same.
