The unmissable finale to New York Times bestselling YA fantasy series
The Gilded Ones, set in an ancient West African-inspired world and
perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.
Deka is a goddess-in-waiting with the potential to save her people from
the brutal ancient goddesses who terrorize her kingdom of Otera. But
first she must find the source of her divine power - and if the Gilded
Ones find it before she does, they will drain her power and tear Otera
apart.
Alongside her army of friends, Deka faces the hardest battle of her
life - not just with the goddesses but with her own doubts. What if
becoming a goddess makes her as evil as the Gilded Ones? And is she
ready to leave her earthly life and loves behind?
The Eternal Ones is the final thrilling instalment of the epic fantasy
series in which a young heroine fights against a world that would dare
tame her.

Weatherby mansion under the watchful eye of his great aunt Adelaide
-- until a mysterious girl named Allegra literally flies over the
walls of Weatherby House and into his life.
Allegra's intense curiosity about Weatherby House forces
Harleigh to think about things he's always ignored, including the
long-lost treasure of the first Harleigh -- which someone is trying
to steal.
