About the book
Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle, betrothed to the prince, but she is no ordinary bride-to-be—she’s the kingdom’s executioner. As the living embodiment of the Goddess, one touch from her is instant death. Each month, she’s marched into the prison to deliver judgment with her cursed hands.
The court fears her. The prince keeps his distance. Love feels impossible for a girl with murder in her veins. Until a new guard arrives, one who sees Twylla not as a weapon, but as a person. His presence awakens feelings she knows are dangerous—especially under the queen’s ruthless eye.
But as whispers of treason grow and the queen’s horrifying plans unfold, Twylla must choose between obedience and rebellion, loyalty and love, duty and freedom.

The Kinder Poison
Romantasy · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Natalie Mae’s The Kinder Poison is a pulse-pounding YA fantasy perfect for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Holly Black.

About the book
Zahru has always craved adventure, but as a lowly Whisperer her magic only lets her commune with animals—and her destiny is mucking stables until her power fades. That is, until the king declares the Crossing: a perilous race across the desert where his heirs compete for the crown, and a human sacrifice seals the winner’s fate.
When Zahru sneaks into the palace for one reckless night of revelry, she’s thrust into the game as the sacrifice herself. Suddenly, her survival depends on outwitting ruthless heirs who wield armies, wealth, and lethal magic.
Every step across the desert pushes Zahru closer to death—or to a chance at rewriting her fate. But in a contest where betrayal is the only constant, can courage ever be enough?

When whispers suggest he’s alive—and dealing their nation’s magic to outsiders—Imani vows to bring him back, even if it means hunting him down herself.
Alongside fellow Shields, including the infuriatingly skilled beastseer Taha, Imani journeys into a world of secrets, peril, and temptation. What she finds may shatter everything she’s sworn to protect.

Evergreen Academy

This cozy fantasy offers plant magic, light academia, slow-burn romance, and an immersive school setting.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Welcome to Evergreen Academy, the secret college for Magical Botanists.
I’d always sensed something peculiar about the reclusive Evergreen Academy, tucked deep in the woods of my hometown. But I never could have imagined it was a college for magical botanists–and that I am one of them.
An invitation to the academy opens up a whole new world of wonder, yet my plant affinity powers remain elusive, and my scientific training is far behind that of my peers.
When I’m assigned a tutor, Callan Rhodes, a powerful descendant of the academy’s founders, I’m baffled by his willingness to help me.
Despite my challenges, I’m enchanted by the academy’s glass schoolhouse, its grounds which are overflowing with plants that defy the climate, and the quirky festivals held each equinox and solstice.
But disaster looms as the verdant shield that protects the academy from the prying eyes of nonmagical people begins to falter. Can Callan and the other founder’s descendants sustain the magic on their own, or will the clock finally start to tick on figuring out my powers?

Elan Mastai's acclaimed debut novel is a story of friendship and family, of unexpected journeys and alternate paths, and of love in its multitude of forms.
It's 2016, and in Tom Barren's world, technology has solved all of humanity's problems—there's no war, no poverty, no under-ripe avocadoes. Unfortunately, Tom isn't happy. He's lost the girl of his dreams. And what do you do when you're heartbroken and have a time machine? Something stupid.

Now Tom faces an impossible choice. Go back to his perfect but loveless life. Or stay in our messy reality with a soulmate by his side. His search for the answer takes him across continents and timelines in a quest to figure out, finally, who he really is and what his future—our future—is supposed to be.
Filled with humor and heart and packed with insight, intelligence, and mind-bending invention, All Our Wrong Todays is a powerful and moving story of life, loss, and love.
