Ashwyn comes from nothing, but she's intent on becoming something. After years
of training to become the queen's next royal spy, her plans are derailed when
shamans attack and kill her best friend Saengo. And then Sirscha, somehow,
restores Saengo to life. Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory,
Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the Spider King. For centuries, he has
used his influence over the Dead Wood--an ancient forest possessed by souls--to
enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and
untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master
her newly awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace, or
worse, claim Saengo, the friend she would die for.
First
print edition contains special content, including bonus art and a new short
story! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Cassandra Clare comes the
first novel in a brand new trilogy where evil hides in plain sight and love
cuts deeper than any blade. Chain of Gold is a Shadowhunters novel. Cordelia
Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle
demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother
travel to Edwardian London in the hope of preventing the family's ruin.
Cordelia's mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a
hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and
Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret
assignations and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with
mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James,
who is sworn to marry someone else. But Cordelia's new life is blown apart when
a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing
like those the Shadowhunters have fought before - these demons walk in
daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison and seem impossible to
kill. London is immediately quarantined. Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends
discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has gifted them with
incredible powers - and force a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel
price of being a hero.
Summer,
1518. A strange sickness sweeps through Strasbourg: women dance in the streets,
some until they fall down dead. As rumors of witchcraft spread, suspicion turns
toward Lavinia and her family, and Lavinia may have to do the unimaginable to
save herself and everyone she loves.
Five centuries later, a pair of red shoes seal to Rosella Oliva’s feet, making her dance uncontrollably. They draw her toward a boy who knows the dancing fever’s history better than anyone: Emil, whose family was blamed for the fever five hundred years ago. But there’s more to what happened in 1518 than even Emil knows, and discovering the truth may decide whether Rosella survives the red shoes.

"Will
get Buffy fans up in their feels." -Entertainment Weekly on Slayer Nina
continues to learn how to use her slayer powers against enemies old and new in
this second novel in the New York Times bestselling series from Kiersten White,
set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Now that Nina has turned the
Watcher's Castle into a utopia for hurt and lonely demons, she's still waiting
for the utopia part to kick in. With her sister Artemis gone and only a few
people remaining at the castle-including her still-distant mother-Nina has her
hands full. Plus, though she gained back her Slayer powers from Leo, they're
not feeling quite right after being held by the seriously evil succubus Eve,
a.k.a. fake Watcher's Council member and Leo's mother. And while Nina is
dealing with the darkness inside, there's also a new threat on the outside,
portended by an odd triangle symbol that seems to be popping up everywhere, in
connection with Sean's demon drug ring. Because one near-apocalypse just isn't
enough, right? The darkness always finds you. And once again, it's coming for the Slayer.
Elana K.
Arnold, author of the Printz Honor book Damsel, returns with a dark,
engrossing, blood-drenched tale of the familiar threats to female power-and one
girl's journey to regain it. You are alone in the woods, seen only by the
unblinking yellow moon. Your hands are empty. You are nearly naked. And the
wolf is angry. Since her grandmother became her caretaker when she was four
years old, Bisou Martel has lived a quiet life in a little house in Seattle.
She's kept mostly to herself. She's been good. But then comes the night of
homecoming, when she finds herself running for her life over roots and between
trees, a fury of claws and teeth behind her. A wolf attacks. Bisou fights back.
A new moon rises. And with it, questions. About the blood in Bisou's past, and
on her hands as she stumbles home. About broken boys and vicious wolves. About
girls lost in the woods-frightened, but not alone.
