Seventeen-year-old
Tempe was born into a world of water. When the Great Waves destroyed her planet
five hundred years ago, its people had to learn to survive living on the water,
but the ruins of the cities below still called. Tempe dives daily, scavenging
the ruins of a bygone era, searching for anything of value to trade for Notes.
It isn’t food or clothing that she wants to buy, but her dead sister’s life.
For a price, the research facility on the island of Palindromena will revive
the dearly departed for twenty-four hours before returning them to death. It
isn’t a heartfelt reunion that Tempe is after; she wants answers. Elysea died
keeping a terrible secret, one that has ignited an unquenchable fury in Tempe:
Her beloved sister was responsible for the death of their parents. Tempe wants
to know why.
But once revived, Elysea has other plans. She doesn’t want to spend her last day in a cold room accounting for a crime she insists she didn’t commit. Elysea wants her freedom and one final glimpse at the life that was stolen from her. She persuades Tempe to break her out of the facility, and they embark on a dangerous journey to discover the truth about their parents’ death and mend their broken bond. But they’re pursued every step of the way by two Palindromena employees desperate to find them before Elysea’s time is up--and before the secret behind the revival process and the true cost of restored life is revealed.

Hidden deep
in the mountains of Colorado lies the Inn at Havenfall, a sanctuary that
connects ancient worlds--each with their own magic--together. For generations,
the inn has protected all who seek refuge within its walls, and any who disrupt
the peace can never return.
For Maddie Morrow, summers at the inn are more than a chance to experience this magic first-hand. Havenfall is an escape from reality, where her mother sits on death row accused of murdering Maddie’s brother. It’s where Maddie fell in love with handsome Fiorden soldier Brekken. And it’s where one day she hopes to inherit the role of Innkeeper from her beloved uncle.
But this summer, the impossible happens--a dead body is found, shattering everything the inn stands for. With Brekken missing, her uncle gravely injured, and a dangerous creature on the loose, Maddie suddenly finds herself responsible for the safety of everyone in Havenfall. She’ll do anything to uncover the truth, even if it means working together with an alluring new staffer Taya, who seems to know more than she’s letting on. As dark secrets are revealed about the inn itself, one thing becomes clear to Maddie--no one can be trusted, and no one is safe . . .

his vengeance must wait, as Ailesse’s ritual has begun and their fates are
entwined—in life and in death
Where
Nirrim lives, crime abounds, a harsh tribunal rules, and society’s pleasures
are reserved for the High Kith. Life in the Ward is grim and punishing. People
of her low status are forbidden from sampling sweets or wearing colors. You
either follow the rules, or pay a tithe and suffer the consequences.
Nirrim
keeps her head down, and a dangerous secret close to her chest.
But then
she encounters Sid, a rakish traveler from far away, who whispers rumors that
the High Kith possess magic. Sid tempts Nirrim to seek that magic for herself.
But to do that, Nirrim must surrender her old life. She must place her trust in
this sly stranger who asks, above all, not to be trusted.
