Darling Seabreak cannot remember anything before the murder of her family at the hands of House Dragon, but she knows she owes her life to both the power of her Chaos Boon and House Kraken for liberating her from the sewers where she spent her childhood. So when her adoptive Kraken father is captured in battle, Darling vows to save him—even if that means killing each and every last member of House Dragon.
Talon Goldhoard has always been a dutiful War Prince for House Dragon, bravely leading the elite troops of his brother, the High Prince Regent. But lately his brother’s erratic rule threatens to undo a hundred years of House Dragon’s hard work, and factions are turning to Talon to unseat him. Talon resists, until he’s ambushed by a fierce girl who looks exactly like the one his brother has painted obsessively, repeatedly, for years, and Talon knows she’s the key to everything.
Together, Darling and Talon must navigate the treacherous waters of House politics, caught up in the complicated game the High Prince Regent is playing against everyone. The unlikeliest of allies, they’ll have to stop fighting each other long enough to learn to fight together in order to survive the fiery prophecies and ancient blood magic threatening to devastate their entire world.
¿Cuál es la gran mentira de mi vida? ¡Que lo odio con todas mis fuerzas!
Si algo tiene claro Taylor es que odia a Ron Carter, el carismático y popular dios de la facultad de Pittsburgh. Y lo odia porque es todo lo opuesto a ella.
Él no sabe ni que ella existe hasta que sus mundos colisionan de la manera más ridícula posible y, desde entonces, los dos se convierten en el centro de atención de las redes sociales. Todo el mundo pretende emparejarlos, aunque Ron nunca se fijaría en una chica como ella..., ¿o sí?
Raysu, un enigmático repetidor que va de duro, aparece de repente para ayudar a Taylor en un apuro. Es un lobo solitario y no tiene amigos, pero sí muchas cosas en común con ella, aunque todavía no lo sepan. Sin embargo, su actitud de «chico malo» la saca de quicio y, además, está clarísimo que él la odia..., ¿o no?
Dos chicos.
Una elección.
¿Quién dará el paso que separa el odio del amor?
Los muertos yacen inquietos en Edén.
Eliot tiene un secreto que reposa enterrado en Edén, el pueblo maldito. Allí deberá dirigir una excavación arqueológica de la que depende su futuro en el Museo Nacional de Historia. Pero Eliot acabará exhumando un mal mucho mayor que cualquier leyenda, que arrojará nuevas sombras sobre los pecados del ayer.
Lira tiene un pasado del que está decidida a huir. Para ello, se sumerge en la investigación de la leyenda de la tumba de la duquesa Morrigan que podría otorgarle la plaza que tanto anhela en los círculos académicos. Pero, deberá reencontrarse con Eliot, el chico al que abandonó, y ser muy rápida para mantenerse por delante de los demonios que la persiguen.
Emma tiene un don. O quizá se trate de una condena. Su ojo velado le permite ver a los espíritus, y la convierte en una sombra para los vivos y en una luz para los muertos. Sin embargo, cuando llegue a Edén, descubrirá que su luz tal vez sea demasiado brillante para aquellos que medran en la penumbra.
Leila is crushed when Dev, her boyfriend of four years, breaks up with her right before graduation. Just when she’s thinking she wasted her entire high school experience on a dead-end relationship, her best friend Bree reminds her that Last Chance Dance is just around the corner.
A high school tradition, the Last Chance Dance gives all the students one last opportunity to find love before they graduate. All Leila has to do is submit three unrequited crushes to the dance committee and if any of her crushes list her too, they’ll get matched. Presto: new relationship, just like that. To her utter amazement, Leila is matched with all three of her choices—and with someone she never expected, Tre Hillman, her chemistry partner and low-key nemesis.
Though at times skeptical, Leila embarks on her Last Chance Dance mission—trying out her matches and going on dates. If Dev wasn’t her true love—then maybe someone else is. She knows it’s definitely not Tre, even though he seems more and more determined to convince her he’s right for her.
But as graduation and the dance approaches, and each date seems to change her mind (and her heart)—Leila must figure out what—and who—she really wants. It’s her last chance, right?
Sixteen-year-old Mafi Shahin is well-aware that life is not always fair. If it was fair, her parents might allow her to hang out with a member of the male species, other than her cat Mr. Meowgi. If it was fair, her crush and basketball hottie Jalen Thomas might see her as more than just her brother's kid sister. And if it was fair, her baba’s brother and wife would be able to leave Afghanistan and come to America.
Life might not be fair—but she can make it a bit more even. Working as the Ghost of Santa Margarita High, Mafi serves dollops of justice on her classmates’ behalf as the school’s secret avenger. They leave a note declaring the crime and Mafi ensures the offender receives an anonymous karmic-sized dose of payback. Keeping her identity as the Ghost a secret sometimes means Mafi has to lie. But as those lies begin to snowball both at school and at home, even compromising their family’s secret past and putting their relatives back in Afghanistan at risk, Mafi is forced to decide how she wants to live her life—trying to make the world more fair from the shadows or loudly and publicly standing up for what’s right.
