Nature is out of balance in the human kingdom. The sun hasn't shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. And the people's survival hangs in the balance. To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls' destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever. The exciting adventure prequel to Malinda Lo's highly acclaimed novel Ash is overflowing with lush Chinese influences and details inspired by the I Ching, and is filled with action and romance.

FAE ARE DYING. WITCHES ARE LYING. SHADOWS ARE SPYING… Eglantine has never left her coven. Duskglenn stands as a sanctuary for witches’ children, but with three days until her eighteenth birthday, if Eglantine can’t prove her mastery of magic runes to her tutor, Mx. Wren, she’ll never graduate to see the outside world. But the forest holds darker threats than a failed exam, as dark shadow children watch her from the trees. Suddenly the world Eglantine knows completely changes. Strange ice magic bursts from her hands without any runes to cause it, and strikes her friend in the chest. Now the magic tutors are accusing Eglantine of being a monster she’s never heard of and threatening her life, while the shadow children turn everything - and everyone - to ash with just a touch! Eglantine must run for her life, leaving behind the only home she’s ever known in search for answers on what she is, where her strange rune-less magic really comes from, and why these shadow monsters are suddenly out for blood. Somehow it all leads back to the fae, and the mysterious magical massacres eighty years ago that turned humans and magic folk into mortal enemies. If she can escape the wrath of humans, fae, and witches long enough, she’ll find out just how many secrets Duskglenn’s been keeping. The Sallow Witch Saga is a fast paced YA fantasy adventure series full of mythical creatures, powerful fae, unique witches, and plenty of monsters and magical beings both familiar and never before seen. Featuring multiple POVs, diverse characters, and plenty of LGBTQ+ representation from a member of the community, this Witcher inspired epic fairy tale is sure to charm your heart and enthrall your senses. Reader be warned, this is a queer positive, slow-burn coming of age series. Character’s identities and orientations may not always be what they seem in book one. Discovering who you are and how you feel about others can take time, after all! This book contains some violent scenes, instances of PTSD attacks, and small moments of gender dysphoria which may be uncomfortable for some readers.

The first book of the blockbuster Fever series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning MacKayla Lane’s life is good. She has great friends, a decent job, and a car that breaks down only every other week or so. In other words, she’s your perfectly ordinary twenty-first-century woman. Or so she thinks . . . until something extraordinary happens. “A seductive mix of Celtic mythology and dark, sexy danger.”—Chicago Tribune When her sister is murdered, leaving a single clue to her death–a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone—Mac journeys to Ireland in search of answers. The quest to find her sister’s killer draws her into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems, where good and evil wear the same treacherously seductive mask. She is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to learn how to handle a power she had no idea she possessed—a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae. . . . As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister’s death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho, a man with no past and only mockery for a future. As she begins to close in on the truth, the ruthless Vlane—an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women–closes in on her. And as the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac’s true mission becomes clear: find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book—because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control of the very fabric of both worlds in their hands. . . . Karen Marie Moning’s explosive Fever series continues DARKFEVER • BLOODFEVER • FAEFEVER • DREAMFEVER • SHADOWFEVER • ICED • BURNED • FEVERBORN • FEVERSONG • HIGH VOLTAGE • KINGDOM OF SHADOW AND LIGHT
