Collection: Young Adult

Two Riders will rise.

A single prophecy will destroy them both.

A long-running rebellion against the Empire is tearing the continent of Artalu apart, plunging two young orphans-Uldrird and Kudrel-into a war older than creation. Uldrird, a barbarian of mysterious lineage; Kudrel, an Imperial soldier seeking his life's purpose. And both are about to be transformed into the last Dragon Riders ever to walk this war-torn land.

As the rebellion reaches its crisis, the pair's loyalties will be sorely tested-by a god's wrath, by the Emperor's iron determination, by enslavement to dark powers, and by a struggle to reconcile virtue with duty, free will with destiny.

And their dragons-the first to grace Artalu's skies in centuries. Powerful, beautiful, vengeful, each indelibly bound to its Rider. Through those bonds flow thought, emotion, memory, and power...the power to free the world or bury it in darkness. Time is running out. Uldrird and Kudrel's loyalties to the rebellion, the Empire, and themselves, ever shifting, will force them to make choices that will echo through time.

A Dragon's Loyalties reimagines elements of classic fantasy, as its two protagonists try to discern whether loyalty should be defined by personal alliances or by a devotion to the greater good. It reveals hidden empires, perilous Magic, and the role of moral choices in a battle where light and darkness blur and every truth demands a sacrifice.

Get ready for the unforgettable conclusion to To All the Boys I've Loved Before.

It's time for one more adventure at Evergreen Academy, the secret college for Magical Botanists.

After an eventful winter break, my spring experience at Evergreen Academy promises to be much more than the typical garden parties, botany classes, and equinox festivals.

My friends and fellow members of the secretive Root and Vine Society are on a mission: recover a long-missing botanical book that may be the key to saving Evergreen Academy from the tightening grip of the Magical Botanical Board of Regents.

The journey to find the book will take us to unexpected places, push the boundaries of my rare magic, and force us to examine how much our society knows about the magical botanists who came before us.

Through it all, I'm stealing romantic moments with Callan Rhodes-my former tutor and now partner in crime-who is just as dedicated to saving the academy as I am. We tried to delay our feelings due to scouting vines and overbearing parents, but we can't quite seem to keep the creeping tendrils of our hearts apart for long.

One thing is certain: the opposing forces at Evergreen Academy are headed for a showdown, and the fight won't just be waged with spells and vines. The battle for Evergreen Academy will be won through friendship, teamwork, and uncovering the deepest roots of all. And if we fail, the consequences won't end at the academy's gates. They'll echo through the human world, too.

When Tío Ricardo issues an ultimatum about her inheritance, she's left with only one option to consider.

Marriage to Whitford Hayes.

Former British soldier, her uncle's aide de camp, and one time nemesis, Whit has his own mysterious reasons for staying in Egypt. With her heart on the line, Inez might have to bind her fate to the one person whose secret plans could ruin her.

One year later, peace seems to prosper, but the consequences are worse than Talon ever imagined.

December, 2493

New York City is flourishing. With the government reformed and the class system demolished, the citizens are thriving. All seems well.

Talon Chambers has been living in Yahn with Castor and Amber, adjusting to the quiet life they've attained. He's glad to leave behind everything that happened in New York, glad to start a new life, glad he can finally attempt to live up to all his father hoped for.

However, everything changes when Talon and Castor are attacked by a masked figure whose identity remains a terrifying mystery.

Talon ties the horrific incident back to their excursions in New York. Why else would it have happened? But, with the emergence of a hidden society and someone long thought dead, he realizes New York had nothing to do with the attack. Something much more sinister is festering in the shadows.

As suspicion of unrest within The Empire of Danyor begins to circulate, Talon realizes that he, Castor, and Amber are part of something bigger than they could've imagined. He just doesn't know what it is.

But one thing is abundantly clear. He will have to confront their attacker; a faceless assassin known only as the Magistrate.

A love story that's messy, awkward, and weirdly wonderful. Just like real life.

Braden's anxiety sends him spiraling over things like quitting the basketball team and the air quality in the cafeteria, yet through it all, he manages to be charming and act like everything is Just Fine.

Rae is on the spectrum; her passion is rescuing dogs online. She struggles over masking her autism, navigating group projects, and telling people exactly what she thinks-whether they like it or not. Braden and Rae don't "fit in," which makes it even harder to survive high school. But when Braden begins investigating a local environmental scandal and Rae starts speaking her truth in a blog about being on the spectrum, their worlds collide. Soon, they're facing down bullies, fake bomb threats, blog trolls, and the terrifying vulnerability of first love.

Written in alternating viewpoints, Weirdos Welcome is a raw, funny, and fiercely compassionate neurodivergent love story about owning your oddness, standing up when it's easier to disappear, and finding that person who doesn't ask you to be "normal"-or even pretend to be. This is a story for anyone who's ever been called a freak, felt too much, or wondered if their quirks made them unlovable. Spoiler alert: They don't.

Ivonny never wanted to start over.

But when her father's job forces their family to move across the country, she's ripped away from the life she knew-the friends she loved, the memories she wasn't ready to leave, and the pieces of herself she's still trying to hold together.

The last thing she expects in her new town is Ivan: distant, closed off, and seemingly determined to keep her at arm's length. He doesn't trust new people-especially her. Yet the more their paths collide, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension simmering beneath every glance and unspoken word. What begins as strangers-and almost enemies-slowly turns into something neither of them planned for.

Just as Ivonny starts to rebuild, Leonardo reenters her life, dragging her past back into the light and threatening everything she's fought to become. Caught between who she was and who she's becoming, Ivonny must decide what she's willing to hold onto-and what she needs to let go of.

Full of young adult mistakes, messy emotions, and the moments that shape us, We Started as Strangers is a heartfelt YA romance about healing, first love, and learning that sometimes choosing yourself is the bravest thing you can do.

Dreams and reality.

It's a fine line and a delicate balance.

Shane Whitmore has been chasing his dream of playing professional soccer for as long as he can remember.

After all his hard work and dedication, his goals were finally becoming real in the beautiful country of Portugal.

Until everything fell apart.

Now, Shane faces his new reality. Past trauma, he thought was over, now haunts him.

As memories resurface, no one can console him.

Except for one person, who made it crystal clear she wanted nothing to do with him ever again.

So, when they're thrown back together years later at a gorgeous ranch in Montana, sparks fly. But not the good kind.

Will Shane stop misdirecting his feelings and find solace?

Or will he continue to fake the truth?

Find out in Misdirect, a young adult contemporary romance from award-winning author Jennifer Conklin.

Coming out is hard, especially when you have two gay moms. At least it is for Simon Bugg. He doesn't want the world to think that having gay parents has turned him gay. And he certainly doesn't want anyone to know about the alien in his stomach that's trying to kill him.

It's Simon's senior year and his world just turned upside down. When his mom scores a dream job, Simon lands at a new school away from the only friends he has ever known.

With a little help from his friends-new and old-Simon finds his way back to PJ. But how can he have a real relationship with the boy of his dreams when he's convinced he's going to die? No one knows about the nightly alien attacks at 11:22. Why then, and why do they keep getting worse? Simon must face a dark secret inside before he loses his chance with the boy he loves.
