Immortal Consequences

"AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER I.V. Marie's thrilling dark academia debut set at a magical boarding school in purgatory where some fates are worse than death … For fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House, Olivie Blake's The Atlas Six and Naomi Novik's A Deadly Education. Welcome to Blackwood Academy: a boarding school located on the fringes of the afterlife. No one knows why they end up at Blackwood; but when they enter the school's arched gates the only way out is to be chosen for the Decennial – a series of magical trials held once a decade. The chosen pupil is offered a choice: graduate and join Blackwood’s magical elite, or venture into the unknown and cross over to the Other Side. Wren knows she has what it takes to win—unless, that is, her arch-rival (and subject of her tortured dreams) Augustine steals her spot. Irene has never cared about playing by the rules and will break whatever (and whoever) stands in her way, including her only friend, Masika. Olivier has given up securing the nomination. But he’ll stop at nothing to keep Emilio, from crossing over to the Other Side. All are determined to be Blackwood’s chosen candidate. All are determined to win. But this Decennial will be unlike any before. Six nominees. Four trials. One victor. The competitors are about to learn that there are some fates worse than death."

Hit Me with Your Best Charm

""Enchanting, flirty, and crafted from pure practical magic!"-Julian Winters, award-winning author of Right Where I Left You The occasionally magic, always superstitious town of Prior's End is famous for three things: whimsical charm at the annual Fall Festival, the legend of the wishing well hidden in a forest bristling with secrets, and Nova Marwood's missing hiker father. Every year without him, it gets easier to pretend Nova doesn't believe in myth and magic. Easier to pretend she's doing okay. Easier to pretend she doesn't have a secret crush on the girl she fake-hates. Kiara Mistry is the luckiest girl in town and the thief of every crush Nova had her heart set on first. In theory, Nova should resent Kiara. But it's getting harder to deny her feelings. When Nova lays an unintended hex on Kiara at the Fall Festival, and one misfortune after another swiftly follows, soon Kiara's very survival is at stake. To reverse the bad luck, Kiara's exes turned BFFs commence a quest for the miraculous wishing well. There's only one person who can get them there . . . Nova. But to save Kiara-and maybe find her dad, too-she'll have to believe in something much stronger than magic. Nova will need to believe in herself."

Ninth House meets Legendborn in this "bold and bloody" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) first book in a dark academia fantasy series about a teen who's willing to do anything to find her brother—even infiltrate a secret society full of monsters. When August's brother disappears before his sophomore semester, everyone thinks the stress of college got to him. But August knows her brother would never have left her voluntarily, especially not after their mother so recently went missing. The only clue he left behind was a note telling her to stay safe and protect their remaining family. And after August is attacked by a ten-foot-tall creature with fur and claws, she realizes that her brother might be in more danger than she could have imagined. Unfortunately for her, the only person with a connection to the mysterious creature is the bookish Virgil Hawthorne…and he knows about them because he is one. If he doesn't find a partner to help control his true nature, he'll lose his humanity and become a mindless beast—exactly what the secret society he's grown up in would love to put down.

And so August is plunged into a deadly competition to win one of the few coveted candidate spots, all while trying to accept a frightening reality: that monsters are real, and she has to learn to master them if she's to have any hope of saving her brother."

Through laughter, healing, and a love with the deepest roots, Kaldur and his loved ones—both chosen and given—push back against the forces trying to unravel them, proving that even in the face of grief, there's a reason for love, hope, and joy."

Blood Pledged

"No matter what I say, both the Arcane Authorities and the Arcane Council deny any witch involvement in the kidnapping and slaughter of the shifters and vampires. It's total bullsh*t. I know what I saw, and I'll prove it. But just when I think I'm onto something—disaster strikes. A student is found dead on Academy grounds. Drained of blood. A gnarly bite mark in her neck. Naturally, all fingers point to my familiars. I could understand why they'd be obvious suspects; except they were with me when it happened. And it couldn't have been the dangerously sexy vamp who's been visiting me after dark, either right? Draven wouldn't do that. I'm sure of it. So, then who? Why? One thing becomes terrifyingly clear after the second body is found—the longer we take to figure it out—the more students will wind up dead."
