Slave. Loner. Assassin.
Some boys throw their hearts away. Jack let a witch take his.
He
surrendered it long ago to the Lady of Twilight so that he would never
feel heartache—or anything else—again. But there was a price. The Lady
transformed him into a callous hunter forced to do her bidding, and now
she’s commanded him to chase down and kill a thieving wizard named
Moribrand. Love, hope, and human connection are concepts he can no
longer comprehend, painful weaknesses he chose to cast aside. But when
Jack meets a beautiful girl trapped in a mirror, the impossible
happens—he feels an echo of his distant heart, and the sensation
staggers him.
Cassandra, a spellbound girl who can only
communicate through her mirror image, awakens something in him more
dangerous, more impossible, than he ever imagined: a memory of who he
once was and how it felt to care about another human being. She
challenges his loyalty to the Lady and shows him his heart might be
worth saving. What will it take for Jack to take his heart back from a
witch, who has no intention of giving it up?

Sometimes the Truth Comes with a Price
Nikki knew Damon Vessler would
not let his prized creation go easily---she simply never imagined the
lengths he'd go to get her back into his clutches, and turn Nikki's
heart toward darkness.
A Seeker at her heels, trained on her blood,
Nikki flees with Raven alongside her for protection, while Mace and the
other Halflings fight the battle that has erupted on earth. But even as
the two boys she loves fight for her, she knows the battle will be hers
to win. Determined to uncover the secrets of her past, and exactly how
she fits into Vessler's twisted plans, Nikki sets off on her own, and
soon discovers facing hellacious beasts is nothing compared to the
decision she will need to make. One that could change not only the war,
and her relationship with Mace and Raven, but her future with the Throne.
Knowing the outcome doesn't always make a choice easier . . . .
Addison
Coleman's life is one big "What if?" As a Searcher, whenever Addie is
faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes.
It's the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought.
When Addie's parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has
to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the
paranormal compound to live among the "Norms," or her mother, who is
staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as
it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the
future proves it's not.
In one potential future, Addie is
adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high
school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands
her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in
school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback's girlfriend. When
Addie's father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she's
unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she
holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which
reality she's willing to live through . . . and who she can't live
without.

Life was different in the Before: before vampires began devouring humans
in a swarm across America; before the surviving young people were
rounded up and quarantined. These days, we know what those quarantines
are—holding pens where human blood is turned into more food for the
undead monsters, known as Ticks. Surrounded by electrical fences, most
kids try to survive the Farms by turning on each other . . .
And when trust is a thing of the past, escape is nearly impossible.
Lily and her twin sister Mel have a plan. Though Mel can barely
communicate, her autism helps her notice things no one else notices—like
the portion of electrical fence that gets turned off every night.
Getting across won’t be easy, but as Lily gathers what they need to
escape, a familiar face appears out of nowhere, offering to help . . .
Carter was a schoolmate of Lily’s in the Before. Managing to evade
capture until now, he has valuable knowledge of the outside world. But
like everyone on the Farm, Carter has his own agenda, and he knows that
behind the Ticks is an even more dangerous threat to the human race . . .

unforgettable new heroine and a stunningly original dystopian steampunk
world with a flavor of feudal Japan.
A DYING LAND
The
Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an
island nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by
clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus
Guild. The skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic
pollution, and the great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have
departed forever.
AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST
The hunters of Shima's
imperial court are charged by their Shōgun to capture a thunder tiger –
a legendary creature, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool knows the
beasts have been extinct for more than a century, and the price of
failing the Shōgun is death.
A HIDDEN GIFT
Yukiko is a child
of the Fox clan, possessed of a talent that if discovered, would see
her executed by the Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on the Shōgun’s
hunt, she finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in Shima’s last
wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for company.
Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life,
all she knows for certain is he’d rather see her dead than help her.
But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire.
Sixteen-year-old Eleanor Fitt’s brother is missing. And when she
discovers that the Dead are rising in Philadelphia and wreaking havoc
throughout the city, she knows that her brother is involved.
So
Eleanor enlists the help of the Spirit-Hunters. This motley crew, hired
to protect the city from supernatural forces, is after the necromancer
who has been reanimating corpses. Their skills can save her brother. But

inventor, Daniel, the situation becomes dire. Now not only is her
reputation at risk, but her very life may hang in the balance.
