Scotland, 1731. A boy trying to reconcile with his brother. His mysterious neighbor who can’t let anyone close. Could a trip to the Fairy Realm solve their problems? The day Vincent McLaren glimpsed an extraordinary creature in Torin Woods was the day his brother lost all faith in him. Since then, he’s tried to convince Tam of the truth countless times and done everything he could to make amends. Everything, except the one thing he’s terrified of: returning to the forest to find proof. But when his father forces him to go collect firewood, a chance encounter with an enchanting singer makes him more certain than ever of the forest’s magic. His brother doesn’t believe him, but he says he’ll give Vincent a chance to earn his trust again—if he captures the singer, so Tam can see it for himself. Bethany Fairborn knows better than to trust the humans in her village. Her bitter mother made sure she learned that at an early age. Her days are focused on following in her family’s footsteps to become Everton’s next midwife, and she only uses her magic when she’s alone—until the annoying fisherman’s son invades her refuge. When Vincent takes Tam up on his offer, Bethany makes the impulsive decision to join him on the hunt, figuring he’ll give up after a few hours. She didn’t expect they’d wind up trapped in the Fairy Realm—or that she’d start wishing Vincent could become more than a friend. To get home, they’ll have to trust each other, but if Bethany reveals her secret, Vincent may become a bigger threat than anything they’ll find in the Fairy Realm.

A princess must win back her kingdom, save a prince, and restore peace in this fantasy by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Splintered series. After Lyra—a princess incapable of speech or sound—is cast out of her kingdom of daylight by her wicked aunt, a witch saves her life, steals her memories, and raises her in an enchanted forest…disguised as a boy known only as Stain. Meanwhile, in Lyra’s rival kingdom, the prince of thorns and night is dying, and the only way for him to break his curse is to wed the princess of daylight—for she is his true equal. As Lyra finds her way back to her identity, an imposter princess prepares to steal her betrothed prince and her crown. To win back her kingdom, save the prince, and make peace with the land of the night, Lyra must be loud enough to be heard without a voice, and strong enough to pass a series of tests—ultimately proving she’s everything a traditional princess is not. “A decadent fantasy anchored in childhood delights with vibrantly detailed writing and brilliantly theatrical subplots.” —Kirkus Reviews “[A] reimagining of “The Princess and the Pea” . . . An emotionally complex tale of fate, inner beauty, and found family that illustrates the strength of love born from friendship.” —Publishers Weekly

Seventeen-year-old Rowan is a walking, breathing curse. He just hasn't realized it yet. Since birth, Rowan has been the object of scorn in his village. The reason? He's a dikyli-an outsider with albino skin and an ominous mark blazoned on his neck. So when his fourth guardian-mother is found dead, all blame falls on him, and he is banished before his life-draining curse can strike again. The only path left to Rowan is clear: He must discover who cursed him and alter his horrible fate-or forever lose everyone he loves. From facing treacherous seas, soul-devouring Moonshades, and desert terrors, Rowan battles for his very survival to reach his homeland-the far-off kingdom of Shandria, a land rife with hostilities. Dark surprises and back-stabbing betrayals emerge as two devious Iron Barons-who know the scandalous origin of his curse-plot to imprison him in the Mountain of the Damned with the rest of the accursed. To make matters worse, Rowan's curse threatens to claim another life when he meets Tahira, a spunky, pertly persistent Shandrian who vows to aid him in his quest despite the overwhelming odds. Their alliance of trust and necessity develops into love-a love doomed to end in death if Rowan remains cursed. With the hope of a future hanging in the balance, he must overcome the greatest challenge of his life. For the only way to end his curse is to slay the Conjurer who cast the life-draining spell.
