High-school- Stories

America Adinerado was your average "lone wolf". As a 15-year-old teenager, he was skeptical and introverted, often straying away from crowds. Most of the time, you would find him eating alone, or using his phone before classes began. But everything changed when he met 16-year-old Russia Royalti. Russia behaved exactly the same way as America. She would mostly be found eating alone or reading a book. She often strayed away from crowds, too. Both were introverted, and both were quiet. But they're not supposed to be together. Why did he love her? Why did she love him? Why did Cupid arrange them to be together--even if both their parents disagreed on their relationship? The world throws at us countless questions, and not all of them have answers.

You have magic. One sentence, three words, four syllables. Enough to change my life forever. And I'm not talking about the whole spells and sorcery thing. Lexie Carrigan thought the weirdest thing about her was she preferred watching documentaries and reading the newspaper to reality TV and Twitter. But on the eve of her fifteenth birthday, her aunt and sisters drop a bomb--she's magical. Now the girl who never made waves is blowing up her nightstand and trying to keep from wreaking havoc on her school. When a kind stranger shows up with all the answers, Lexie hopes he'll be able to help her control her newfound powers. But Gavon may not be as kind as he seems, and soon Lexie finds out that being magical is the least weird thing about her. Spells and Sorcery is the first YA fantasy from S. Usher Evans, author of the Razia series, the Madion War Trilogy and Empath. It will be released on October 4, 2016 for eBook, paperback, and hardcover.
