Sky Sommers
Sky mostly writes retold fairytales with dry humour where secrets are peeled back like onions. Sometimes, in her standalones, she likes to make you choose, depending on your disposition (optimist vs pessimist) - coz the path that awaits depends on the decisions we take. She lives in Tallinn, Estonia, travels a lot, but less now that her kid has gone to school.
Besides fairytales, Sky keeps experimenting with different genres: myths&legends; steampunk; post-apocalyptic scifi; quirky fantasy romance and alternative history to name a few that are currently in the works.

My story, Yumiko’s revenge is probably the most gruesome I’ll ever write, but it’s all about the blood-lapping magic boots.

And Ash: Crooked Fates as well.)

Delve Into Magic Kingdom
Book of the Month
"These 5 short, fairy-tale-inspired stories were so much fun to read! They read almost like a complete novel all together, but also worked great as stand-alone stories. I really enjoyed this collection even though I hadn't read any of the related stories in previous books. /.../ it didn't interfere with my enjoyment of these tales."
"Lovely and fun. This was an enjoyable collection of short stories! The behind-the-scenes story makes for a unique fairy tale mashup, complete with the added elements of dragons and feisty characters. Great for when you only have a little time but want a fun read!"
Save Me: Agency of Guardian Angels
Come with me if you want to live. Yeah, when someone says that, you do tend to take them seriously.
After her abusive ex Victor drives himself into a tree, Grace is scarred off men for life. Two years later, she rescues an orange tabby kitten and suddenly, a tall, blond and handsome man—the complete opposite of her ex—becomes a hovering presence.
When the monitors at the Agency of Guardian Angels start recording Grace’s uneventful life, the Watchers know it’s a warning. To save the girl from an impending bullet, Gabriel jumps to the rescue - in cat form.
Will Gabriel be able to find out the identity of the elusive assassin before there is an “again”? Can Grace get over her past to trust a guy who, strangely, is not angling for a date? And why does the existence of that particular orphaned girl make the Tally of Good & Evil go crazy?
Save Me is the main book in the Agency of Guardian Angels series and happens thirteen years before Charm & Mayhem and/or Cinders. Although it features Grace who later becomes the stepmother in Cinders, it can be read as a standalone from both of the author’s other series. The series provides a glimpse into the saves Gabriel undertook for the Agency before he retired and had anything to atone for in Charm & Mayhem.
