Ayana Hall (Yana), a fiercely independent, sharp-tongued varsity hockey player for the Mighty Ducks. Following their international success at the Goodwill Games, the Ducks are navigating the high-stakes, high-stress world of high school and varsity sports. At the center of Ayana's world is her exhausting, thrilling, and highly public "enemies-to-lovers" dynamic with the team's resident speedster, Luis Mendoza. For years, the two have been locked in a perpetual cycle of witty bickering, flashy pickup lines, and intense eye contact-a routine that entertains the entire team but serves as a protective shield for Ayana, who uses the banter to keep Luis at arm's length without having to risk her heart.

A dead cartographer. A stolen map. A djinn who has been waiting three hundred years. Zahra al-Rashida is a court scribe by day and the Caliph's most dangerous secret by night. When she finds a dead man in an alley with a smile no innocent man dies wearing, a djinn appears at her window before dawn and says - will you hear the rest? She says yes. She probably should not have said yes. Rakhshan ibn Qa'im loved someone mortal three centuries ago and refused to let her go. The refusing created something that should not exist. The woman is still inside it. She has been waiting. And she has just started writing back. Her message is not good news. Now Zahra has four days, one horse, a map encoded in a love poem, and a djinn with three hundred years of guilt following her across the desert - while something ancient and angry waits for them on the other side of a door that should never have been built. Forbidden romance. Political betrayal. A city with a city underneath it. And a scar on her palm that is also a Name that is also, she is only beginning to understand, the reason she was always going to end up here. Some fates do not ask permission. They simply arrive - and wait to see if you are brave enough to become what they need you to be. ✦ Five volumes ✦ Complete series ✦ Arabian Golden Age fantasy ✦

Kill. There is no 'be killed'. When she was young, Tamara 'Mara' Blackthorne was told that she would ride to her doom in the name of her mate. So, her response is simple: kill him when she meets him. As a Lila, part of the magic-touched race of warriors bound to protect the human world from the problems of their own, Mara is fearless, rash, and independent. She also happens to be one of the most powerful and notorious Lila ever to live. Rescued from her war-torn world after her parents were slaughtered, Mara lives in the human world with her adopted family, under the watchful gaze of her mother's lieutenant, sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Flanked by Catherine, her huntress sister, and Reese, her brother at arms, Mara stalks the streets of the human world, killing those who think to harm whoever can't fight back. But peace, in her world, is never long-lasting. The mysterious Brotherhood of Mankind are rising in prevalence, bold in their vision of a magic-free world, and most importantly, an immortal-free world. That means Mara now has a target on her back. But unfortunately for the Brotherhood, she's happy that it's there. It is in their dungeons that she meets Nikolas, a rare immortal demon who seems to have a penchant for, well, her. She should just kill him and forget about it. But Nikolas may be the key to defeating the Brotherhood and keeping her family safe. Every time he draws her in further, more questions arise and Mara's resolve weakens. With war looming, Nikolas's love for her could save their world...or destroy it.

We saw each other for what we had been for a thousand years. Alone, insignificant broken souls with nothing left to live for because it had all been taken from us, and we had never tried to get it back
