Madelyn Chung is one of the best clinical psychology PhD students Harvard has ever seen - the most controversial, too. After discovering a data fraud conducted by Harvard's star faculty, Dr. Charlotte Shelby, her future career seems uncertain as whispers accuse her of being a burdensome whistleblower. With a potential groundbreaking research project in the line, she is appointed to work with Dr. Alex Manning, Harvard's young neuroscientist and professor who revolutionized several research in his field. A life-changing opportunity for Maddie - but she must deal with the fact that Alex was one of Charlotte's past collaborators, and his career was at stake because of the scandal. Maddie has always been careful when trudging through the endless hours of clinical shifts and research. But when she doesn't know if the longing stares from Alex every time he tries to make her life harder are an indication of hatred, or if they mean something else, she starts to feel unprepared. Because Maddie knows she is a falling star, and if she holds onto the fragile trust between her and Alex too tightly, she will only fall harder.

She went missing a year ago. Her friends, unable to find her. Now, she haunts their dreams, begging to be found. Welcome to Malachi Peak, where not everything is as it seems. - Buried in the cemeteries on the outskirts of Malachi Peak are more than the bodies of past residents. With them rest hundreds of years worth of secrets, pushed down so far that they haven't seen the light of day. The witches, those left after the Salem Witch Trials, went west, desperate to find a new home. Prevailing, they settled in what would eventually be Malachi Peak, Oregon and became the first pentacle to consecrate the land. On one fateful Halloween, today's Pentacle came together to complete their final bonding ceremony. As they were in the middle of it, darkness blanketed them. When they could finally see, one had just...disappeared. Fast-forward a year, things are starting to fall apart. Whispers among the factions say the witches are weak, that it's time for new leadership. The witch is still missing. The year anniversary has passed of her disappearance. Most presume she is dead and others refuse to believe she's gone. As powers escalate and the missing witch sends the Pentacle signs, the remaining members will have to unite to find her.

KILL ONE TWIN, FREE THE KINGDOM. On the island of Wyrith, death has a name: Morana.

Life breathes through her twin sister, Ilyana. The urge to heal even the smallest of wounds fuels the tips of her fingers, yet not even her blessed magic can bring back the family she's lost. All that's left for her to inherit is a duty of isolation and sacrifice. When an archaic necromancer curse awakens, sealing in Wyrith and taking lives one by one, the sisters face a harrowing choice. After a decade apart, will they unite to unravel the ancient magic before it's too late? Or will secrets and enemies shred their last hope for Wyrith, leaving nothing but an island of corpses?

Ashlin Crest is not the chosen one-her twin sister Odella is. Blessed by the gods, Odella sets out on a quest to slay a vile beast. The world's continued peace relies on her success. Except she doesn't succeed. She returns home without completing her mission, a broken shell of the girl she once was. The world still needs saving, though, and when a descendant of the gods appears in Ash's tiny village with an offer, she follows him. To help the world, and to save her sister. But Ash isn't touched by the gods. She wasn't chosen, and there is more darkness in the world than she ever knew. Those she should be able to trust become enemies, and everything she knew about Sominox and its gods begins to fracture. Only with the help of friends from the unlikeliest of places can she hope to succeed in this quest. As it turns out, though someone unchosen may be exactly what the world needs to save it. **Thank you pennywithaney for the cover!**
