A boy who accidentally bonds with a magical Beast must set off on an adventure in the mysterious Woods in this “wholesome, delightful” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), and cheeky middle grade fantasy debut—perfect for fans of Nevermoor and How to Train Your Dragon.
The last thing Barclay Thorne ever wanted was an adventure.
Thankfully, as an apprentice to the town’s mushroom farmer, Barclay need only work hard and follow the rules to one day become the head mushroom farmer himself. No danger required. But then Barclay accidentally breaks his town’s most sacred rule: never ever EVER stray into the Woods, for within the Woods lurk vicious magical Beasts.
To Barclay’s horror, he faces a fate far worse than being eaten: he unwittingly bonds with a Beast and is run out of town by an angry mob. Determined to break this bond and return home, Barclay journeys to find the mysterious town of Lore Keepers, people who have also bonded with Beasts and share their powers.
But after making new friends, entering a dangerous apprenticeship exam, and even facing the legendary Beast of the Woods, Barclay must make a difficult choice: return to the home and rules he’s always known, or embrace the adventure awaiting him.
'An utter delight.' Claire Legrand, New York Times bestselling
author of Furyborn Name your price and claim your throne. On the
quest to find her missing mother, prim and proper Enne Salta became
reluctant allies with Levi Glaisyer, the city's most famous con
man. Saving his life in the Shadow Game forced Enne to assume the
identity of Seance, a mysterious underworld figure. Now, with the
Chancellor of the Republic dead and bounties on both their heads,
she and Levi must play a dangerous game of crime and
politics...with the very fate of New Reynes at stake. Thirsting for
his freedom and the chance to build an empire, Levi enters an
unlikely partnership with Vianca Augustine's estranged son.
Meanwhile, Enne remains trapped by the mafia donna's binding oath,
playing the roles of both darling lady and cunning street lord,
unsure which side of herself reflects the truth. As Enne and Levi
walk a path of unimaginable wealth and opportunity, new
relationships and deadly secrets could quickly lead them into ruin.
And when unforeseen players enter the game, they must each make an
impossible choice: To sacrifice everything they've earned in order
to survive... Or die as legends.
Return to the City of Sin, where the final game is about to
begin... and winning will demand the ultimate sacrifice. Only days
after a corrupt election and brutal street war, one last
bloodthirsty game has begun. The players? The twenty-two most
powerful, notorious people in New Reynes. After realizing they have
no choice but to play, Enne Scordata and Levi Glaisyer are
desperate to forge new alliances and bargain for their safety. But
while Levi offers false smiles and an even falser peace to the
city's politicians, Enne must face a world where her true Mizer
identity has been revealed... and any misstep could turn deadly.
Meanwhile, a far more dangerous opponent has appeared on the board,
one plucked right from the most gruesome legends of New Reynes. As
the game takes its final, vicious turn, Levi and Enne must decide
once and for all whether to be partners or enemies. Because in a
game for survival, there are only losers... And monsters.
The incredible conclusion to the tournament that started in All of
Us Villains. I should warn you: this is going to be absolutely
brutal . . . For the first time in this ancient, bloodstained
story, the tournament is breaking. The boundaries between the city
of Ilvernath and the arena have fallen. Reporters swarm the
historic battlegrounds. A dead boy now lives again. And a new
champion has entered the fray, one who seeks to break the curse for
good... no matter how many lives are sacrificed in the process. As
the curse teeters closer and closer to collapse, the surviving
champions each face a choice: dismantle the tournament piece by
piece, or fight to the death as this story always intended.
Long-held alliances will be severed. Hearts will break. Lives will
end. Because a tale as wicked as this one was never destined for
happily ever after. Praise for All of Us Villains: 'Magical, clever
and cutthroat, All of Us Villains sets out to make it impossible to
know who to root for.... A fun, twisty ride through a world full of
spells and family secrets' Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series 'Nuanced,
exceptionally well-drawn characters and a carefully considered
mythology' Publishers Weekly, Starred Review 'So bespelling that
the cliffhanger ending will feel like a painful curse' Kirkus
Reviews, Starred Review 'Positively wicked in all the right ways.
All of Us Villains is addicting from start to finish. I'm obsessed'
Adalyn Grace, New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars
and Teeth
Take a card. The price is your soul.
Welcome to the City of Sin, where secrets hide in every shadow.
Enne Salta was raised as a proper young lady, and no lady would willingly visit New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin. But when her mother goes missing, Enne must leave her finishing school―and her reputation―behind to follow her mother's trail to the city where no one survives unchanged.
Frightened and alone, her only lead is a name: Levi Glaisyer. Unfortunately, Levi is not the gentleman she expected―he's a street lord and con man. Levi is also only one payment away from cleaning up a rapidly unraveling investment scam, so he doesn't have time to investigate a woman leading a dangerous double life. Enne's offer of compensation, however, could be the solution to all his problems.
Their search for clues leads them through glamorous casinos, cabarets and into the clutches of a ruthless society. As Enne unearths an impossible secret about her family, Levi's enemies catch up to them, ensnaring him in a vicious execution game where the players always lose. To save him, Enne will need to surrender herself to the city…
And she'll need to play the game.

You Fell In Love With The Victors of The Hunger Games. Now Prepare
To Meet The Villains Of The Blood Veil. After the publication of a
salacious tell-all book, the remote city of Ilvernath is thrust
into the spotlight. Tourists, protesters, and reporters alike flock
to its spellshops and historic ruins to witness an ancient curse
unfold: every generation, seven families name a champion among them
to compete in a tournament to the death. The winner awards their
family exclusive control over the city's high magick supply, the
most powerful resource in the world. In the past, the villainous
Lowes have won nearly every tournament, and their champion is
prepared to continue his family's reign. But this year, thanks to
the influence of their newfound notoriety, each of the champions
has a means to win. Or better yet--a chance to rewrite their story.
But this is a story that must be penned in blood.
Reality is in the eye of the beholder…
Even among the many unusual members of the travelling circus that has always been her home sixteen-yea-old Sorina stands apart as the only illusion-worker born in hundreds of years.
This rare talent allows her to create illusions that others can see, feel and touch, with personalities all of their own. Her creations are her family, and together they make up the cast of the Festival's Freak Show.
But no matter how lifelike they may seem, her illusions are still just that―illusions, and not truly real.
Or so she always believed…until one of them is murdered.
Now she must unravel the horrifying truth before all her loved ones disappear.
