Kell is one of the last Travelers - magicians with a rare ability
to travel between parallel Londons. There's Grey London, dirty and
crowded and without magic, home to the mad king George III. There's
Red London, where life and magic are revered. Then, White London,

upon a time, there was Black London...
A new teen fantasy adventure series from bestselling author Connie
Glynn, with hidden powers, budding romance and dark magic...
Astrid glanced up at the looming manor house with all its spires and
creeping ivy. A refuge, or just another cage?
Astrid and Jonas have only ever had each other. As twins, they share a
bond. But they also share something doctors have called twisted and
demonic their entire lives: flowers whisper instructions, trees sing of
their histories. The siblings are kept away from nature by their
caretakers, but it still calls to them.
Meanwhile, Gwen knows all about the shadow world of Bloom Bloods –
people living among us who have magic running through their veins. They
act under the instruction of the Queen, conserving fantastical
creatures and studying the ancient melodies of magic to keep the
mundane and mystic worlds in harmony. But Gwen failed her application
to Fountains Abbey, the venerable school that trains up the next
generation of Bloom Bloods, and she is now determined to prove her
worth.
A mysterious evil is spreading throughout the world; unnatural monsters
are appearing in hazardous places – monsters that weave discordant
magic. When the twins and Gwen collide, their unique abilities are
revealed. But will their combined powers be enough to stop what’s
rising in the darkness?

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers.

Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned. As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.
Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.
A bookish boy searches for his missing best friend in this spooky
tale by the author of The House with a Clock in Its Walls On a
country lane in snowbound 1950s New Hampshire, a car goes skidding
off the road. Professor Childermass and Johnny Dixon escape
unscathed, but their car is stuck, and they are forced to walk into
town. Johnny doesn't mind. A curious young man, he has fun anytime
the professor takes him out, because he's treated like an adult.
Together they've gotten into all sorts of supernatural scrapes, and
this winter night, they'll face their toughest challenge yet. When
Childermass suddenly vanishes, Johnny is the only one who can find
him. The mystery is linked to a tiny skull taken from a child's
dollhouse, which seems to have powers too terrible to guess at.
With the help of a crusty old Irish priest, Johnny chases the clues
to his friend's disappearance all the way to the rocky coast of
Maine, where something evil hungers for revenge. From the author of
the series featuring Lewis Barnavelt and Anthony Monday, the Johnny
Dixon novels are charmingly old-school and shot through with
suspense, and The Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull may be the most
chilling of them all.

where timeless ambitions threaten to destroy them both. PRAISE FOR
