When the first letter appears in Kay Anderson's locker, it carries one instruction: dye your hand blue.

She definitely shouldn't follow it. Kay doesn't have time for secret societies: as a scholarship student at up-and-coming Manhattan prep school Davison High, she knows her job is to work hard, get into Northwestern, and ignore her wealthy classmates' fun-filled Instagram stories. Besides, her first and only real friend at Davison died suddenly freshman year.

Still, Kay's intrigued, so she stains her palms with ink to join the mysterious Blue Hand Girls, sharing an unspoken thrill with the classmates who do the same. More letters show up, assigning risky initiation tasks, and Kay realizes the group is set on exposing the shady business that Davison's founders would rather keep hidden--things that her dead friend might have known about.

But the anonymous instructions also demand the girls reveal their own secrets, bonding them all too close to abandon the society. Soon Kay doesn't know who's more dangerous: the powerful people who run her school, or the Blue Hand Girls themselves. And then there's Zola Wolfe, the beautiful redhead in Kay's Calculus class, who's never been seen with a blue hand, and who just might become her girlfriend. Yet Kay can't help but wonder, even as she kisses her on the roof of Davison High, if Zola is the most dangerous of them all.

Normalheroes is a powerful, emotional short story collection about normal people wearing masks. Each of the twenty-five interconnected stories aims to ask an important question about the nature of heroism - and make you question what it means to be a hero. Heroism in these stories isn't about the powers you have; it's about the person you are.

In this collection, you'll find stories of a broken boy forced into a legacy, of a team doomed to die, of a girl so cursed by her powers that she hid away from society and became the villain of their stories. And alongside those, you'll find hope - because heroism is everywhere in this collection. These heroes hurt because they're human. That's what makes them heroes.

She thought music was her escape-turns out, it's her gift. And maybe her destiny.

Lavender Flynn is tired of being the "purple-eyed freak" in her sleepy Colorado town, and the humiliating betrayal by her first-ever boyfriend doesn't help. All she wants now is to hide out at her family's ranch, blast her favorite bands on repeat, and forget the outside world exists. But when a haunting melody drifts out of the forest, lying low is no longer on the playlist.

It starts with a song only she can hear and fireflies that flicker in time with the music. Then comes a voice-raw, twangy, and strangely familiar-that pulls Lavender into a dreamlike version of her own world, where everything feels just a little too real to be imagined.

There, she meets a mystical group of musicians who believe Lavender is the missing piece in their mission to heal a broken world through music. She's not so sure. But ignoring Camp-the lead singer with a voice that ignites her soul and dimples that could end all wars-is proving harder than she'd like to admit.

As her gift begins to surface, the lines between magic, love, and sacrifice start to blur. And when someone she loves is caught in the crossfire, Lavender must choose: stay silent, or risk everything to let the music speak through her.

A spellbinding blend of supernatural intrigue, coming-of-age romance, and the healing power of music, Lavender is a story about finding your voice in a world that's lost its rhythm.

There is no such thing as "enough" for the evil Owen Wolfgang Warren IX... not until he has complete control over NeuroEnergy, Augland, and the entire AEC.

Warren has set his sights on a larger plan-to falsely indict Georgina for conspiracy and usurp her position as President of AEC. That means forcing Ashton's testimony against Georgina at a sham trial conducted at the AEC capital: Augland DC. But stripping Georgina of her position is only the beginning of Warren's treacherous agenda.

Ashton and Wolfe-having escaped Warren's grasp and living hidden in Hood Canal for months now-have always known that, at some point, their fate would lead them back inside Augland 54's walls. Neither of them could have guessed the extent to which Augland's corruption would lead them, and what they will need to sacrifice for the freedom and protection of the UnSuited.

This time, though, they will be prepared as they work with Rye, Bez, Hunter, and Joao on an agenda of their own: to create the perfect plan against the tyrannical CEO. Navigating unfamiliar territories with powerful weapons, unlikely allies, and a clever strategy to overtake Warren, they will need everyone to play their part to execute and deliver them-and the Unsuited resistance forces-from Warren's grasp.
