Siblings torn apart by betrayal grapple with their broken bonds -
and fight to regain their power - in this stunning conclusion to a
mythic epic fantasy duology from the New York Times bestselling
author of Wilder Girls. The Argyros siblings have lost everything.
With their father dead and their family home captured, they're no
longer the rulers of their fractured kingdom - and no longer bound
to each other. In the frozen north, Rhea struggles to wield her
newly-inherited command over death, and to find her place in an
increasingly distrustful rebel group. Chrysanthi travels to a
distant, war-torn land in search of her elusive brother Nitsos,
certain that he is there on a dangerous mission to restore the
family to its former glory, this time with himself at its head. And
Lexos, now a political prisoner of the Domina family and stripped
of all his power, is left to rot in a hauntingly desolate palace
with nothing but thoughts of revenge. Alone and farther apart than
they've ever been, the siblings must reckon with the pain of their
past and find a new path forward - or risk their own destruction.
'Twisty and unnerving' - Holly Jackson, author of A Good Girl's
Guide to Murder. From the author of the bestselling Wilder Girls
comes a twisty thriller about a girl whose past has always been a
mystery - until she decides to return to her mother's hometown,
where history has a tendency to repeat itself . . . Ever since
Margot was born, it's been just her and her mother. No answers to
Margot's questions. No history to hold on to. Just the two of them,
stuck in their run-down apartment, struggling to get along. But
that's not enough for Margot. She wants family. She wants a past.
And when she finds a photograph pointing her to a town called
Phalene, she leaves. But when Margot gets there, it's not what she
bargained for. Margot's mother left for a reason. But was it to
hide her past? Or was it to protect Margot from what's still there?

Last year, Nan's three best friends ventured into the canyons near
their small town and never returned. Now one of them is back, and Nan
can't believe it...because she's the one who killed them. From the New
York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls comes another dark
thriller about friendship, jealousy, desire, and revenge, with a twist
ending that needs to be talked about.
Nan's story has always been the same. Last summer, she, Luce, Edie, and
Jane took a boat out for one final swim in the river. It was a perfect
summer night.
But the only one who returned that night was Nan. She maintains that
she has no idea what happened to her three friends. The girls went
ahead, and it was as though they disappeared into thin air.
Now, one year later, it's the memorial of that night. All of Saltcedar
has gathered at the river. Nan is even wearing the same clothes she
wore that fateful day last summer. And when Luce climbs out of the
water, no one is more surprised than Nan.
Because Nan killed her. Right before she killed Edie and Jane.
Naomi Novik's Spinning Silver meets Game of Thrones in a
mesmerising and unputdownable Balkan fantasy novel of family and
survival from the instant New York Times bestselling author of
Wilder Girls. Rhea and her twin brother, Lexos, have spent an
eternity using cunning and magic to help rule their small, unstable
country. Rhea controls the seasons to show favor to their most
loyal stewards with bountiful harvests and short winters, while
Lexos keeps the tides strong and impassable to maintain the
country's borders. Reigning over them both is their father, who
holds dominion over death, using his most powerful weapon-fear-to
keep the people, and his children, in line. For a hundred years,
Rhea and Lexos have been each other's only ally, defending
themselves and their younger siblings against their father's
increasingly unpredictable anger while also trying to keep up the
appearance of unity and prosperity within their borders. Now, with
an independence movement gaining ground, other nations jockeying
for power, and their father's iron grip weakening, the twins must
take matters into their own hands to keep the world from crashing
down around them. But as Rhea and Lexos travel beyond the security
of their home to try to save their family, they begin to draw very
different conclusions about their father's style of rule. And if
the siblings aren't careful, they'll end up facing each other on
the battlefield. In a Garden Burning Gold is a captivating saga of
love and legacy that explores the limits of power and the bonds of
family-and how far both can be bent before they break.

The Power meets We Were Liars in Rory Power's compelling, visceral and completely unputdownable YA debut about survival and the power of female friendships.
Everyone loses something to the Tox; Hetty lost her eye, Reese's hand has changed, and Byatt just disappeared completely.
It’s been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put in quarantine. The Tox turned the students strange and savage, the teachers died off one by one. Cut off from the mainland, the girls don’t dare wander past the school’s fence where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure as the Tox takes; their bodies becoming sick and foreign, things bursting out of them, bits missing.
But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her best friend, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie in the wilderness past the fence. As she digs deeper, she learns disturbing truths about her school and what else is living on Raxter Island. And that the cure might not be a cure at all . . .
