Collection: Young Adult

A brilliant girl risking it all to infiltrate a secret society of enchanters gets unexpected help from one of their victims--now a vengeful spirit--in this historical dark academia novel by New York Times bestselling author S. E. Grove.

In a world where magic is drawn from the realm of the dead, enchanters--always men--go to great lengths to steal it. Voyaging to the spirit realm, an enchanter will claim a dead woman's spirit as his own and make her a servant, a tool for his own magical ends. Enchanters maintain great secrecy around their practices, so only a wealthy elite have access to this power: members of a secret society shrouded within Commonwealth University, the nation's premiere institution for the study of enchantment.

When Sam--the son of islander immigrants of modest means--dared to use magic to blend into the blueblood world of Commonwealth, it cost him his life. Now a spirit, he's determined to avenge his murder and uncover the secrets of the Cisneros Society from beyond the grave.

When Sam encounters Clementine Quinn, a young woman disguised as a male student at Commonwealth, he quickly sees that Clem is putting herself in grave danger at the school. But as he tries to warn her of the peril, it becomes clear that his past and her fate are inextricably entwined. To avenge his murder and prevent hers, they'll need to help one another and thereby prove, ultimately, that friendship and love can transcend everything, even death.

The remaining members of a ghost hunting show return to the haunted manor that may have killed their friend in this atmospheric, contemporary gothic debut perfect for fans of She Is a Haunting and Delicious Monsters.

Four teens went into the manor, three came out.

In July, Georgia Perry and Jules Park--secret girlfriends, covert art thieves, and cohosts of a popular YouTube ghost hunting show--step into a haunted house to steal a priceless painting. A few short hours later, there's a knife in Jules's chest and Georgia is waking up in a pool of blood with no painting and no memory of how she got there.

Now it's October, and Georgia is underwater. She hasn't been to class in weeks, and she's avoiding her old crew--and only friends--like the plague. But when the three remaining thieves get a call from the man who paid a hefty sum to keep them out of jail, demanding that they return to finish the job, Georgia has no choice but to return to her old life.

As the estranged friends scramble to steal the painting with no cover story and no leader, they quickly realize that something is very, very wrong, and it's not just the suffocating memory of Jules or the prying eyes of their viewers. Between the strange shadows that begin to trail them and the nightmares plaguing Georgia's sleep, only one thing is certain: something followed them home from De Lys manor, and it will do anything to keep them from going back.

Their love is destined, but can it survive her compulsion for beauty? Haunting and steamy, this spellbinding fantasy romance will enthrall you with its alluring concoction of traditional Grimm's and modern thrills.

"With deft, atmospheric prose and lush, otherworldly lore, Bruzas captures the essence of self-identity, belonging and the kind of love that both consumes and inspires. A dazzling modern fairytale."
--Kika Hatzopoulou, bestselling author of Threads That Bind

Sylvie has taken a summer job at a remote and alluring prairie preserve in the middle of the Great Plains. It's a much-needed escape--from her sadness, from her cruelly distant father, and maybe even from herself: She longs to be free of the intrusive, obsessive thoughts that are her constant burden.

Soon, she finds herself drawn to a stunning shepherd boy and can't stop herself from going to him at night, even though she's been warned to keep away. During the day, though, she begins to develop a friendship with another boy, a strange-looking and strangely gentle coworker named Jack . . . and gradually to uncover the mysteries of this place that feels more like home than anyplace has before it.

But those mysteries include a powerful curse, and when she uncovers the truth of it, she becomes recklessly determined to break it--to free the one trapped in its spell. She fails to consider the possibility that her actions could break much more than just the curse, and that some burdens demand to be borne.

A criminal and a royal guard are drawn into the hunt for a dangerous witch--and an unexpected romance--in this YA enemies-to-lovers romantasy, the first in a duology. Perfect for fans of Heartless Hunter.

This gorgeous first edition features stunning, flower-patterned stenciled edges and designed endpapers!

In Gadore, the Witch is feared above all else. Reborn into each generation, she is the only person with magic running innately through her veins, able to wield that magic with a single thought.

So when guards across the city begin to drop dead, gruesomely murdered by violent and vicious magic, everyone knows the Witch has returned--and no one will be safe until she's killed.

Toran is the Prince's Crown, the most highly skilled fighter in the King's Guard. Tasked with the responsibility of leading the hunt for the Witch, Toran tries to focus on his assignment to forget the ghosts of his past. And after he learns of Nes, a thief with an uncanny ability to sniff out magic, he forcibly recruits her into joining his hunt.

As the two face deadly magic and otherworldly threats, their mutual dislike soon turns to something more electric, and they find themselves drawn to each other in ways they'd never imagined. But the Witch is always a step ahead of them, and with bodies piling up, secrets threaten to come to light--secrets that could destroy everything from the fragile trust between them to the very city of Gadore itself.

For fans of Lambcat's enchanting WEBTOON comes a novel adaptation series in the vein of Serena Valentino's Disney Villains series or the Mariko Tamaki's Lumberjanes novelization. Delve deeper into the world of the Cursed Princess Club.

Welcome to the world of the Cursed Princess Club where things aren't quite as they seem.

Gwendolyn is a princess. She lives in a castle, her father is the king, and her siblings love her . . . it sounds like a fairy tale, yet it's not that simple. Gwen isn't your typical princess, and she isn't conventionally attractive. But when she meets the members of the Cursed Princess Club, they help her recognize that not "fitting the mold" doesn't make her less of a princess.

In this second book of the series, Prince Frederick is beginning to question if he deserves Gwen. She's been so kind to him, but he hasn't always been nice to her, and he's starting to realize that appearances aren't everything.

Meanwhile, Gwen is introduced to the Princels--princes who have shunned society because of their own insecurities, insecurities she can understand.

With the same charming and delightful heart as the comics, the adventures of Gwendolyn and the other Cursed Princesses continue in this novel series adapted by best-selling author Michelle Knudsen.

Moral victories don't solve public health crises. Money does.

After years of poor water quality, Gavin fears his town, Pondville, is one burst pipe away from losing access to safe drinking water forever.

Demoralized, Gavin and his best friend MacKenzie turn to his estranged father, a board member of the infamous water company CrispFlow. CrispFlow is known for giving out grants to improve public facilities, but they've also been buying and privatizing cities' failing water systems, often leaving those towns' situations worse than they found them. Gavin wouldn't trust CrispFlow to privatize their water, but with his father on the board and Gavin and Mack interning at town hall, he might just be able to walk away with the grant money instead. Gavin's dad agrees to rig the grant process if Gavin and MacKenzie sabotage the competition to help Crisp-Flow win an infrastructure bid. It's not above board, but everybody wins, as long as no one gets caught . . .

Seventeen-year-old Lottie Mitchell is a liar. She might also be a horrible person--because someone good wouldn't have caused the death of her best friend, Val. Messina, Lottie's other best friend, has her own secrets to worry about--she's running from her terrifying, abusive stepfather. When the friends learn that Val had planned to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, they set off into the desert with Val's ashes and her beloved copy of Wild to fulfill her dream. The only problem, aside from being woefully underprepared for the treacherous terrain and the fast-approaching fire season, is that without Val playing peacekeeper, Lottie and Messina are at each other's throats. The secrets they carry are heavier than their packs, and they're going to have to find their trust in each other--and themselves--if they're going to survive.

We Became Wild is a gripping, feral story about grief, friendship, and what it means to be a woman alone in the world.

Perfect for fans of Erin Baldwin and Elise Bryant, this sapphic rom-com--a companion novel to Nav's Foolproof Guide to Falling in Love--stars a girl determined to reinvent herself, in life and in love.

Hallie loves romance, but it doesn't seem to love her back. Her six-time broken heart can attest to that.
So when Hallie has the chance to attend a prestigious academic summer camp, she sees an opportunity not just to better herself, but to reinvent herself. Into a new Hallie who will succeed where the old one failed--in school, friends, and especially love.
First, a fresh start--which means no romance, all summer. If Hallie's fortitude is immediately tested by Julia, her gorgeous camp roommate with an uncrackable icy shell, then all the better! Reinvention is never easy!
Yet as Hallie and Julia get closer, Hallie's heart is in more danger than ever. With the prospect of real love on the line, can Hallie trust that New Hallie won't make the mistakes that she did? Or is Julia looking for someone else--the unfiltered, unaltered, real Hallie?

I Killed Zoe Spanos meets The Counselors in this YA thriller about the daughter of a killer who must prove her innocence after a night of fun turns deadly.

But when cute, popular, and incredibly sweet Kai Thompson invites Dina to spend the weekend with him and his friends at his cabin, Dina thinks maybe being noticed wouldn't be so bad.

But once at the cabin, Dina realizes one night won't change her reputation as the daughter of a killer-especially not when people start turning up dead. Told in part through police evidence, the truth of what happened that night unravels alongside long-held secrets. But one thing remains true: Dina is adamant she didn't do it. Now, she just has to prove it.

Bridget has lost her spark for sparring, forfeiting again and again in the lists. When she's invited to join Gabriel's round table, she hopes it'll be the change she needs. But trying to navigate the post-happily-ever-after reality of a relationship with Gwen, when Bridget no longer feels like the dashing knight Gwen fell in love with, feels impossible.

With the kingdom still reeling from an attempted uprising, and rumored sightings of the holy grail, the questing beast, and the green knight happening across the country, the gang depart on a PR tour destined for disaster. Can Gabriel be the king his country deserves? Can Bridget get her jousting groove back? And will they find their way back to the courtly love that once seemed fated?

In the much anticipated follow-up to Gwen & Art Are Not in Love, Gabriel and Bridget set out on a daring quest to put love back on the table.

Pasar tiempo con el rey mientras observa a los habitantes del castillo le recuerda a Mara que la vida es mucho más que la muerte. Existe el amor.

Love too grand, it kills.

Spending time with the king while observing the castle's inhabitants reminds Mara that there is more to life than just death. There is love. But even the purest of intentions spur revenge and the pursuit of power. And fate will have its way with all of them--to live, to rule, to love, and most certainly, to die...

A deliciously dark standalone set in the same world as the YA romantic fantasy Of Flame and Fury, where star-crossed enemies gamble with their hearts, empires, and the fate of a lost god.

On an island marred by pageantry and pain, power comes at an impossible price.

Inna is the perfect heiress to the Pallo crime family: poised, cunning, untouchable. Behind this glamorous facade, she hunts for the sinister truth of her sister's death. Despite the cover-up she's been led to believe, Inna can feel an enemy lurking in the shadows.

Rylan has sculpted himself into a talented thief for one reason: retribution for his family, who were murdered by Inna's mother. Armed with illusion magic, Rylan plans to steal an ancient riddle from the Pallo vault, one that leads to a sleeping god. Whoever wakes the Serpent King will be granted any wish they desire. Rylan means to claim this power, and with it, Inna's ruin.

But when Inna catches Rylan sneaking past her family's security, they enter into a perilous alliance that neither intends to keep --even as bitter attraction unravels into something more.

Though some hearts aren't meant to be stolen, and love knows nothing of blood-red revenge...

When Joaquín goes on a ghost hunt at an abandoned house that's rumored to be haunted, he and Max find their fates becoming intertwined in ways neither of them expected. But, as Max's powers begin to grow stronger, it becomes clear that their tentative friendship may just prove to be fatal...
