The worst part about falling from power isn't the descent. It's the haunting echoes of former glory that linger in the shadows. Ava Black's reign as the Queen Bee of her high school came to an abrupt end six months ago. She used to rule the halls with an iron fist, mercilessly crushing her enemies and stomping on anyone who dared oppose her. Now, amongst the peasants, she makes every effort to avoid her old friends, especially the new reigning queen Frankie who bullies her relentlessly. Plagued by debilitating migraines that steal her strength and sometimes her sanity, Ava does all she can just to survive. A normal high school experience is a thing of the past... until Keira Richards appears and shows Ava she’s still worthy of friendship. Their bond encourages Ava to break out of her shell and forget about the nightmares of robed figures, ancient battles, and the strange whispers of Thyana. Enter Gabriel Matthews, the handsome loner, who brings it all back to the surface. He knows about her migraines, her dreams, and her past. With a string of dark and terrible events occurring around Ava, she is desperate for answers. Will they be able to move past their differences to uncover the reason she sees cloaked creatures roaming their school?

The world is on the brink of devastation. Natural disasters, plagues, and death run rampant as the malevolent Goddess of Darkness and Destruction, Thyana, is free. The very fabric of reality unravels as Thyana executes her plan to annihilate humanity. Gabriel Matthews, thrust into a perilous journey alongside his friends and defected Mavors, chases the ominous signs of the apocalypse. Branded a traitor and fleeing the only life he's ever known, Gabriel is determined to thwart Thyana's intricate scheme and save humanity. Yet, his ultimate mission becomes intensely personal as he strives not only to rescue the world but also the person who matters most—Ava Black. Ava, liberated from Thyana's clutches, grapples with newfound abilities that challenge her very identity. Racing against time, she seeks to protect her loved ones, salvage a crumbling world, and perhaps, save her own soul. Having worked tirelessly to transform into a better person, Ava questions her humanity as she battles against an emerging darkness within. Will her friends embrace her return? Can Gabriel still see the woman she once was? The haunting possibility lingers—could Ava, like Thyana, harbor a thirst for blood? In this gripping tale of survival, redemption, and the battle between light and shadow, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Soon to be a major motion picture "Jon Swift + Witches of Eastwick + Kelly 'Get In Trouble' Link + Mean Girls + Creative Writing Degree Hell! No punches pulled, no hilarities dodged, no meme unmangled! O Bunny you are sooo genius!" —Margaret Atwood, via Twitter "A wild, audacious and ultimately unforgettable novel." —Michael Schaub, Los Angeles Times "Awad is a stone-cold genius." —Ann Bauer, The Washington Post The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel from the acclaimed author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl and Rouge "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and seem to move and speak as one. But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled "Smut Salon," and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door--ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies' sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus "Workshop" where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision. The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination. Named a Best Book of 2019 by TIME, Vogue, Electric Literature, and The New York Public Library

In the vein of Naomi Novik’s New York Times bestseller Spinning Silver and Katherine Arden’s national bestseller The Bear and the Nightingale, this unforgettable debut— inspired by Hungarian history and Jewish mythology—follows a young pagan woman with hidden powers and a one-eyed captain of the Woodsmen as they form an unlikely alliance to thwart a tyrant. In her forest-veiled pagan village, Évike is the only woman without power, making her an outcast clearly abandoned by the gods. The villagers blame her corrupted bloodline—her father was a Yehuli man, one of the much-loathed servants of the fanatical king. When soldiers arrive from the Holy Order of Woodsmen to claim a pagan girl for the king’s blood sacrifice, Évike is betrayed by her fellow villagers and surrendered. But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but Évike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he’s no ordinary Woodsman—he’s the disgraced prince, Gáspár Bárány, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gáspár fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gáspár understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and he and Évike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother. As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as Évike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gáspár need to decide whose side they’re on, and what they’re willing to give up for a nation that never cared for them at all.

From highly acclaimed, bestselling author Ava Reid comes a gothic horror retelling of The Juniper Tree, set in another time and place within the world of The Wolf and the Woodsman, where a young witch seeks to discover her identity and escape the domination of her abusive wizard father, perfect for fans of Shirley Jackson and Catherynne M. Valente. A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites. Marlinchen and her two sisters live with their wizard father in a city shifting from magic to industry. As Oblya’s last true witches, she and her sisters are little more than a tourist trap as they treat their clients with archaic remedies and beguile them with nostalgic charm. Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world. But at night, Marlinchen and her sisters sneak out to enjoy the city’s amenities and revel in its thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theater, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart. As Marlinchen’s late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father’s rage and magic. And while Oblya flourishes with culture and bustles with enterprise, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress and blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it.
