Ten years after Alex and Aaron Stowe brought peace to Quill and
Artime, their younger twin sisters journey beyond Artime in the
sixth novel in the New York Times bestselling sequel series to The
Unwanteds, which Kirkus Reviews called "The Hunger Games meets
Harry Potter." The Revinir is getting desperate. Following her
dramatic abduction of Fifer and Thisbe, the dragon woman traps the
twins in an isolated, crumbling palace and surrounds them with four
killer dragons in an attempt to coerce them to join her side. Hope
finally arrives when Dev sneaks into the castle and the threesome
reunites, hatching a plan against the Revinir so devious, so
horrifying, that it just might work. But when it comes time to act,
Thisbe struggles to confront her deepest fears about her inner
levels of good and evil and, to her own dismay, questions if she's
really been on the right side all along. In Artime, Rohan and Queen
Maiven join forces with Aaron, Florence, and the others to discover
the truth of what happened to the twins. But when Fifer sends a
devastating message that challenges everything they believe in,
Rohan attempts to handle the situation on his own...with disastrous
results.

a little nip out of the other dancers. And worse of all STAGE
FRIGHT
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Raven Boys, a
mesmerizing story of dreams and desires, death and destiny.
Something is happening to the source of the dreamers' power. It is
blocked. Diminished. Weak. If it goes away entirely, what will
happen to the dreamers and those who depend on them? Ronan Lynch
isn't planning to wait and find out. Backed by his mentor, Bryde,
he is ready to do what needs to be done to save the dreamers and
the dreamed . . . even if it takes him far from his family and the
boy he loves. Jordan Hennessy knows she will not survive if the
dreaming fails. So she plunges into a dark underworld in order to
find an object that may sustain her. Carmen Farooq-Lane is afraid
of the dreamers -- which is why she's agreed to hunt them down. The
closer she gets, though, the more complicated her feelings become.
Will the dreamers destroy the world . . . or will the world be
destroyed trying to eliminate the dreamers? In the remarkable
second book of The Dreamer Trilogy, Maggie Stiefvater pushes her
characters to their limits -- and shows what happens when they
start to break.
