* Instant New York Times Bestseller * Indie Bestseller * In this
stunning new fantasy novel from international bestselling author C.
S. Pacat, heroes and villains of a long-forgotten war are reborn
and begin to draw new battle lines. This epic fantasy with
high-stakes romance will sit perfectly on shelves next to beloved
fantasy novels like the Infernal Devices series, the Shadow and
Bone trilogy, and the Red Queen series. Sixteen-year-old dock boy
Will is on the run, pursued by the men who killed his mother. Then
an old servant tells him of his destiny to fight beside the
Stewards, who have sworn to protect humanity if the Dark King ever
returns. Will is thrust into a world of magic, where he starts
training for a vital role in the oncoming battle against the Dark.
As London is threatened and old enmities are awakened, Will must
stand with the last heroes of the Light to prevent the fate that
destroyed their world from returning to destroy his own. Like V.E.
Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic and Shelby Mahurin's Serpent &
Dove, Dark Rise is more than just high intrigue fantasy-it's
fast-paced, action-packed, and completely surprising. Readers will
love exploring the rich setting of nineteenth-century London. This
thrilling story of friendship, deception, loyalty, and betrayal is
sure to find a passionate audience of readers.
Mark Setzer has a lot on his mind. He's worried about his upcoming
bar mitzvah, and he misses his best friend, who's moved to the rich
side of town and started hanging out with the obnoxious kid they
used to make fun of. Mark doesn't need the aggravation of his
mother signing on to manage his Little League team.
But if "Mother Bagel" complicates Mark's life, she's great for
the team. Suddenly, they're winning games and headed toward the
championship. The problem is, Mark has some information that could
change everything, and he doesn't know what to do with it. He's a
friend, a teammate, and the manager's son -- can he be all these
and still be true to himself?

A thrilling gothic horror novel about biracial twin sisters
separated at birth, perfect for fans of Lovecraft Country and The
Vanishing Half - now in paperback! Magnolia Heathwood, heiress to a
decrepit cotton plantation in Jim Crow's Georgia, was raised to be
the perfect southern belle. All her life she's prepared to carry on
the family dynasty, but according to her cruel grandmother, she
always falls short. When Magnolia finally learns the truth-that she
is not white in this segregated land, but mixed race-her reflection
vanishes from every mirror: a sign of a terrible curse. And life in
Eureka, Georgia is getting stranger every day: The most popular
girl in town launches an initiative to segregate the dead in the
local cemetery, and white-passing Magnolia doesn't know how much
longer she can bear to live a lie. Meanwhile, Charlie Yates, an
aspiring Civil Rights organizer from Harlem, is speeding toward
Eureka beside her dying grandmother. Nana's last wish is to be
buried in the land they fled seventeen years ago, after the brutal
murder of Charlie's parents, who were killed for loving across the
color line. On a segregated train car, brave Charlie has never felt
so powerless. Nana's told her plenty of stories about the cursed
town they're headed for-but she's never told her that she left a
twin sister, Magnolia, behind. The sisters reunite as teenagers in
the deeply haunted town of Eureka, where ghosts linger centuries
after their time, and dangers lurk behind every mirror. They
couldn't be more different, but they will need each other: to put
the hauntings of the past to rest, to break the mirrors' deadly
curse-and to discover the meaning of sisterhood in a racially
divided land.
