Felicity Abbot is frustrated at yet another London Season denied her. So dreadfully unfair. When an opportunity arises to defy her parents and Society, she sneaks off—unchaperoned—to the neighbors' party. Surely no one will notice her in the crowd. Now she can finally see what all the fuss is about. Coerced by his desperate mother, Victor Wyndell is a reluctant guest at the Chesters' gathering. He must find two things: a bride and something called The Agreement. If he fails, it could mean ruin for both his family and his chances for a decent marriage. Instead, he finds the enchanting Miss Abbot. She is more than happy to help such an attractive gentleman, provided he assists her in navigating where she doesn't belong. Together, they discover secrets, scandals, and maybe even love. But can they unearth the mysterious Agreement?

Marriage to the Dark God isn't all it's cracked up to be. To save everyone she knows and loves, Adrastea agreed to marry Mor-Lath, God of the Dark. But what does Mor-Lath get? The mystery behind his reason for the marrage deepens as he introduces her to his priestesses, his library, and even the God of the Light. The only place he didn't introduce to her was his bed. This baffles her. Without consummation, the marriage isn't complete in Adrastea's eyes, making her the bride, but not a wife. Why did he marry her? An ancient prophecy provides both the reason and the reluctance of Mor-Lath when it comes to his bride, and that which he desires most could also be the one thing that destroys them both.

“There are no limits to the will—and the strength—of this unique female hero.” —Tamora Pierce, writer of the Song of the Lioness and the Protector of the Small quartets One for All is a gender-bent retelling of The Three Musketeers, in which a girl with a chronic illness trains as a Musketeer and uncovers secrets, sisterhood, and self-love. Tania de Batz is most herself with a sword in her hand. Everyone thinks her near-constant dizziness makes her weak, nothing but “a sick girl.” But Tania wants to be strong, independent, a fencer like her father—a former Musketeer and her greatest champion. Then Papa is brutally, mysteriously murdered. His dying wish? For Tania to attend finishing school. But L’Académie des Mariées, Tania realizes, is no finishing school. It’s a secret training ground for new Musketeers: women who are socialites on the surface, but strap daggers under their skirts, seduce men into giving up dangerous secrets, and protect France from downfall. And they don’t shy away from a sword fight. With her newfound sisters at her side, Tania feels that she has a purpose, that she belongs. But then she meets Étienne, her target in uncovering a potential assassination plot. He’s kind, charming—and might have information about what really happened to her father. Torn between duty and dizzying emotion, Tania will have to decide where her loyalties lie...or risk losing everything she’s ever wanted. Lillie Lainoff's debut novel is a fierce, whirlwind adventure about the depth of found family, the strength that goes beyond the body, and the determination it takes to fight for what you love. Includes an author's note about her personal experience with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
