We all start as strangers. Why does that make me so nervous?

I can't imagine life without Mom, Dad, Bubbe or my friends in Salem. And that's what I'll be living at Hawthorn Academy, the campus between worlds. But Hawthorn Academy's the place to be if I want to join the family business as a veterinarian for magic critters.

It's magi only at my new school, so I'm going without my besties. The only person I'll know there is my snarky big brother. At least I've already bonded with a familiar. But my dragonet means I'm destined for above-average power levels.

The last thing I want to do is scare people off. You only get one chance at first impressions, after all.

But will I make friends or enemies?

"Perfect for fans of C.S. Lewis."—Bookmarked (Reedsy Discovery)

"Enidor clearly felt that something awful was happening to him, but he could do nothing about it. He had been toughened up by distant expeditions and the wielding of various weapons, which he had proven more than once in sea battles or skirmishes with pirates and slave traders. However, he could not fight the demonic forces from another world that lurked in the distant seas and about which he had heard in old sagas and legends. To fight the invisible creatures of the Underworld or the Mysterious Land, who could take on different shapes, one needed a weapon of the most powerful kind—a weapon that was not at all like a sword or an enchanted amulet. A weapon called Eithua.

No one really knew what Eithua was, but according to legends, many in the world knew how to use this weapon and could perform amazing miracles with it."

Getting confessions from notorious serial killers? Easy.

My name is Harleigh Sinclair, and I’m a Neotact. That’s a fancy word for a person who has special powers using touch. My special power? I can touch a person, see into their mind, and find any object they’ve physically contacted. Comes in handy when you’re employed by San Antonio’s wealthiest entrepreneur who’s in the business of finding lost relics. However, my job description does come with a few hitches.

My most recent client is a man named Jagg Ransom. He’s arrogant and too attractive for his own good. My mission is to purchase an ancient Egyptian ankh from him and deliver it to my boss. Sounds easy, right?

But Ransom refuses to cooperate, so I have no choice but to break into his apartment and steal the location of the amulet from his mind. Bad idea. Like, really bad idea.
I find out that this relic happens to be the relic that gave five percent of Earth’s population Neotact powers. I also learn that Ransom isn’t who he says he is, and I’m forced onto a path that will take me from my home in Texas to a hidden dungeon of a Scottish castle, and then into the heart of a deadly Egyptian desert. Finding the ankh is hard enough. Fighting my feelings for Jagg Ransom is worse.

If I can’t find the ankh in time, not only will I be out of a job, but I’ll lose everything I value—including my own life.

Three-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts her most incredible novel yet, a "glorious" story of culture, identity, magic, and myths in contemporary New York City.

In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn't remember who he is, where he's from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power.

In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it's as if the paint is literally calling to her.

In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels.

And they're not the only ones.

“This book is fast, furious, compelling, and angry as hell." -- Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author

The Boys meets My Year of Rest and Relaxation in this smart, imaginative, and evocative novel of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption, told with razor-sharp wit and affection, in which a young woman discovers the greatest superpower—for good or ill—is a properly executed spreadsheet.

Anna does boring things for terrible people because even criminals need office help and she needs a job. Working for a monster lurking beneath the surface of the world isn’t glamorous. But is it really worse than working for an oil conglomerate or an insurance company? In this economy?

As a temp, she’s just a cog in the machine. But when she finally gets a promising assignment, everything goes very wrong, and an encounter with the so-called “hero” leaves her badly injured. And, to her horror, compared to the other bodies strewn about, she’s the lucky one.

So, of course, then she gets laid off.

With no money and no mobility, with only her anger and internet research acumen, she discovers her suffering at the hands of a hero is far from unique. When people start listening to the story that her data tells, she realizes she might not be as powerless as she thinks.

Because the key to everything is data: knowing how to collate it, how to manipulate it, and how to weaponize it. By tallying up the human cost these caped forces of nature wreak upon the world, she discovers that the line between good and evil is mostly marketing. And with social media and viral videos, she can control that appearance.

It’s not too long before she’s employed once more, this time by one of the worst villains on earth. As she becomes an increasingly valuable lieutenant, she might just save the world.

A sharp, witty, modern debut, Hench explores the individual cost of justice through a fascinating mix of Millennial office politics, heroism measured through data science, body horror, and a profound misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.

An exiled faerie. A mysterious mirror. A city full of secrets.

Eila Snowshadow never expected to find herself banished from the Winter Court, much less hurled into the bustling streets of London.

Pick up this complete trilogy and join Eila on her urban fantasy London adventure!

---

Teaming up with Corvus, a shapeshifting raven with a penchant for shiny objects, and Grimrock, a reclusive troll, Eila must navigate the treacherous underbelly of London’s paranormal society. From dodging Oathkeepers to infiltrating secret hideouts, she’ll need all her wits - and a hefty dose of sugar - to unravel the mystery.

With time running out and powerful forces closing in, Eila must master her erratic powers and confront her own past.

Can Eila save the missing children and prevent a catastrophe that threatens both worlds? Or will her exile become a death sentence in a city that shows no mercy to outsiders?

I thought I was here to pay off my family’s debt…
But the Alpha King didn’t bring me to his castle to be a maid.

Isla
I’m a nobody from a struggling pack, just trying to help my family cover my brother’s medical bills. When I’m sent to the Alpha King’s palace, I expect to scrub floors—not sleep in a luxurious bed.

Then I find out the truth:
I’ve been sold to be his breeder.

King Maddox is cold, cruel, and dangerously powerful. Rumor has it he killed his first wife—and now he needs an heir or he’ll lose his throne.

I’ve never even been with a man. How am I supposed to survive this?

And worse… why does my body crave the one man who might destroy me?

Maddox
After my Luna Queen died, I vowed never to love again. But time is running out—I need an heir, and I need one now. I didn’t go looking for a breeder, but Isla arrived at my doorstep like fate itself.

She’s innocent. Untouched. Nothing like the woman I expected.

I told myself I’d use her and forget her.
But now I want more than just a breeder.
I want to make her mine—forever.
