Know your enemy if you want to survive . . .
The only way for Khya to get her brother back alive is to kill Varan—the immortal ruler who can't be killed. But not even Varan knew what he was doing when he perverted magic and humanity to become immortal.
Khya's leading her group of friends and rebels into the mountains that hold Varan's secrets, but if risking all their lives is going to be worth it, she has to give up everything else—breaking the spell that holds her brother captive and jeopardizing her deepening relationship with Tessen, the boy who has been by turns her rival and refuge since her brother disappeared.
Immortality itself might be her only answer, but if that's where Khya has to go, she can't ask Tessen or her friends to follow.
In Khya's world, every breath is a battle.
On the isolated desert island of Shiara, dying young is inevitable. Only the clan of Sagen sy Itagami can offer protection against enemies and elements. That is why the safety of the clan comes before one's self, and why Khya is a warrior above all else. But when obeying orders could cost her brother his life, her once safe home becomes a deadly trap.
The council she hoped to join has betrayed her, and their secrets, hundreds of years deep, reach around a world she's never seen. Only Tessen, her lifelong rival and the boy who challenges her at every turn, is willing to help her.
To save her brother's life and her island home, her only choice is to trust someone she once considered an enemy, turn against her clan—a betrayal and a death sentence—and go on the run.
Step into your witchy power or be swallowed by the curse- the choice is yours.
A queer, feminist spin on Stephen King's The Mist, this ode to female-rage is a perfect pick for fans of She Is a Haunting, and a reminder that if "boys will be boys", girls will fight back.
For high school senior Nell and her friends, a vacation house on a private Florida island sounds like the makings of a dream spring break. But Nell brings secrets with her-secrets that fuse with the island's tragic history, trapping them all with a curse that surrounds the island in a toxic, vengeful mist and the surrounding waters with an unseen, devouring beast.
Getting out alive means risking her friendships, her sanity, and even her own life. In order to save herself and her friends, Nell will have to face memories she'd rather leave behind, reveal the horrific truth behind the encounter that changed her life one year ago, and face the shadow that's haunted her since childhood.
Easier said than done.
But when Nell's friends reveal that they each brought secrets of their own, a solution even more dangerous than the curse begins to take shape.
Reading like a YA feminist spin on Stephen King's The Mist, So Witches We Became is a diverse, queer horror about female friendship, the emotional aftermath of surviving assault, and how to find power in the shadows of your past.
An ancient prophecy.
A destiny of flame.
A war to end two worlds . . .
A dark prophecy binds Cora's fate to the fae realm-a world that would have been her doom if she hadn't escaped with her life. Now she's determined to put destiny behind her and focus on her world, her kingdom, and her much-anticipated wedding.
But when dragons emerge from the veil between worlds, threatening her land with deadly flame, she must return to the fae and make allies of those who had once condemned her to die.
Yet dragons and fae are the least of her foes. Her greatest enemy marches on her kingdom, and he won't stop until he controls fae magic. Fate and fire collide, but Cora isn't alone. She, Teryn, Mareleau, and Larylis each have a role to play in protecting two realms from an ancient king who can walk between worlds.
When the dust clears and the ashes settle, will the embers of hope remain?
A mysterious crystal.
A legacy of shadows.
The prophecy unfolds . . .
Cora never dreamed of returning to her old life, but with her kingdom at stake and her brother's life on the line, she has no choice but to reclaim her former title. Yet with new changes come new dangers, this time in the form of scheming royals with cruel politics. If she can play their games, she just might keep her crown. But can she say the same for her heart?
Prince Teryn has already betrayed Cora's trust, first with a lie, then with a kiss. Now all he wants is her forgiveness. If he's lucky, maybe he'll win her affection too. But just when he manages to convey his deepest feelings, he makes a fatal mistake that unleashes an old threat in a terrifying new way.
Thrust into a web of lies, deadly magic, and hidden memories, Cora and Teryn must uncover secrets of the past to secure the future of their kingdoms. If they fail, darkness will return in a way no one will see coming.
And it will be wearing the face of the one Cora loves most.
A feisty outlaw.
A conniving prince.
A war of magic and shadows.
Wanted by the crown for a murder she didn't commit, Cora dreams of getting revenge on the mage who framed her. In the meantime, she hides in the forest and hones her witch magic. But when she discovers her enemy's violent hunt for faerie creatures, she forms a plan for vengeance.
Prince Teryn, heir to a bankrupt throne, will do anything to keep his country from sinking into ruin. When he meets an outlawed witch wanted by a neighboring kingdom, he gets his chance. The woman has an impressive bounty on her head, one that could pay off his kingdom's debts.
If Teryn can help Cora save a few magical creatures, he can gain her trust, hand her over to her king, and collect the bounty. But Cora has plans of her own, and none of them include being betrayed by her handsome new traveling companion.
The closer Cora and Teryn get to their desires, the harder their tasks become. And it isn't just their budding attraction that's the problem. A secret war is coming, one stemming from ancient feuds and forgotten fae magic. They must work together to stop it, or else both their kingdoms will crumble to ash.
In the far future, an Earth-born woman must negotiate with a fearsome mutant race: 'On a par with Ursula LeGuin or Arthur C. Clarke' (Chicago Tribune).
Two thousand years into the future, runaway pollution has made the earth uninhabitable except in giant biodomes. The society is an anarchy, with disputes mediated through the Machiavellian Committee for the Revolution. Mars, Venus, and the moon support flourishing colonies of various political stripes. On the fringes of the solar system, in the gas planets, a strange, new, violent kind of human has evolved. In this unstable system, the anarchist Paula Mendoza, an agent of the Committee, works to make peace and ultimately protect her people in a catastrophic clash of worlds that destroys the order she knows.
