"The night is far from dead. Historians often wonder why humans no longer possess the shadows that once haunted our likeness... Maybe the Gray War almost a hundred years ago was the start of the declining of human shadows. When magicians were burned and executed and our shadows disappeared, possibly succumbed to the darkness..." Fifteen year old, Zuhra Konami wants nothing more than to be a Shadow Warden. Shadow Wardens keep the monsters of shadows at bay when night falls upon the land. But when a boy who has been mauled by those very monsters, shows up on her doorstep, everything changes.

"What have you done to me?" He asks me and I feel dosed. "You're so fucking tight Marie, I'm going to ruin you." He licks my tongue and picks up the pace but his words are enough for me. I tremble. "Can I?" I ask, but he only answers after ten more pumps. "Yes baby, you can." The mixture of his tone, the softness behind his words and the hard actions injects me with a drug I'll never quit. Nothing in the world could be more wrong than this, the prince and I. But then again, nothing can stop us. ♧♧♧ It was hatred at first sight.

Kindness can change everything. Even your past. Aurelian farm girl Naima Gentlekind never thinks she was special. As the kindest girl in her village, she always shows up to help someone in need. She couldn't help but wonder if she wasn't born in Aurelia. Her hazy past comes back to haunt her when she learns she is a lost heir to a royal elven bloodline and the same man who killed her parents tracks her down. With the help from a group of legendary warriors and a sun elf prince whom she's been rubbing off her positive influence on, Naima must learn to believe in herself in order to defeat the Great Deceiver of Harmonia and become the princess her parents knew she could be. Perfect for fans of Kelly Barnhill, Soman Chainani, and The Dragon Prince, Madison Ciabattari crafts a breathtaking debut novel about overcoming adversity, belonging, self-discovery, and the life-changing power of kindness.

Amyra Shahzeb had always been the perfect daughter-strong for her father, protective of her brothers, and willing to sacrifice her dreams for the family's honor. But when she's forced into a marriage with Ashar Aarez, her world begins to crack. Ashar, a member of an ancient dragon lineage, is no ordinary husband. As the wedding ceremony unfolds, Amyra is thrust into a world of hidden realms, ancient power, and a throne shadowed by blood and betrayal. But the greatest threat isn't Ashar's lineage nor the other dragons, it's Amyra herself, when she discovers what her very own body harbours. Feared by all the dragons for centuries, the entity sleeping inside Amyra is struggling to awaken. What will follow? What exactly is her identity? Is she supposed to die or supposed to rule? ****** As the ceremony progresses, Amyra suddenly feels a burning sensation on her arm, and instinctively, she clutches it beneath her dupatta. She tries to suppress the pain, not wanting to make a scene, but Ashar notices and leans in. His concern is brief, replaced by something darker when he sees the mark now imprinted just below her elbow. Ashar freezes. His heart pounds as the unmistakable symbol of a dragon pulses beneath her skin-the exact same mark he bears. "No..." he whispers, disbelief clouding his voice. "This can't be..." But it is. A thousand thoughts race through his mind, each one colliding into the one truth he can no longer deny: She isn't human. She's a dragon. And not just any dragon-his fated one. Amyra stares at him, confused, but Ashar's gaze is distant, filled with a terror that matches the gravity of the situation. "I thought I was not supposed to," he mutters. "I thought I was the last..." The mark is a prophecy, an unbreakable bond, and one that will forever tie Amyra to a world she never asked to be part of. And to Ashar, who never thought he could find his soul mate.

After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier.

Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove.

That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana
