JOIN THE PROTEST. JOIN THE MAGIC.

After her sister disappears during a climate protest, seventeen-year-old Mira Bracken spends her days combing an uncaring world for any trace of her. 

She's handing out missing-person flyers at the latest climate protest when an SUV terrorizes the crowd, plunging towards the strikers and heading directly at Mira. Without warning, a giant oak tree falls onto the car, saving the screaming youth in its path. 

A mysterious stranger insists that Mira somehow commanded the oak to act, that she's a Treetalker, a powerful one, and that an ancient order of evil men will be coming for her. She laughs it off, until the stranger adds one last thing-these men have been kidnapping youth climate strikers.

Desperate to learn more, Mira throws her lot in with the mysterious stranger and the other Treetalkers. Soon she's swept into a secret magical war that spans centuries and the globe, getting closer and closer to discovering the fate of her sister.

After being trapped in the cursed town of Du Ciel for seven years, Isabelle's life was only going to get worse. Because she is turning eighteen, which puts her in danger of being sent in the next Offering to the Beast, her father pushes her to marry without love to save herself. However, since Isabelle is poor, and the other four girls that are of age happen to be from very prestigious families, she believes she will be sent by default. This leaves her with one of two choices: give up her freedom and marry without love to save herself, or risk being sent into the depths of the Castle where a monstrous Beast lurks and an unknown fate awaits her. But, what if the Beast was the least of her problems?

In the heart of British-ruled India, where the monsoon winds carried whispers of rebellion and the air was thick with the mingled scent of jasmine and gunpowder, a story was waiting to unfold-one that defied the rigid boundaries of empire, status, and destiny. Amid the cobbled streets and lush estates of jaipur, young Mira, barely eighteen, served as a housemaid in the grand home of Captain Edward Sinclair. Born into a family marked by hardship and resilience, mira carried the quiet strength of her ancestors in her dark eyes and moved with a grace that belied the harshness of her life. To the British officers and their families, she was invisible-just another native servant, a silent witness to the grandeur and the brutality of colonial rule. But to Edward Sinclair, an enigmatic and conflicted officer haunted by his own transgressions, she was an unexpected mirror to his conscience and a source of uncharted emotions. Bound by duty but restless in spirit, Edward bore the weight of secrets that had turned him into a pariah among his own kind, and it was in Anjali's presence that the sharp edges of his guilt began to blur. Their worlds were as different as the scorching sun and the cool, hidden streams of the Indian forest, yet fate conspired to weave them together. In the simmering tensions of an India yearning for freedom, their connection would challenge not just the chains of colonial power but the very notions of love, loyalty, and betrayal. This is a tale of forbidden passions and unspoken truths, where loyalty is tested, and hearts become captives of an era that sought to suppress them. As the empire's shadows lengthen and choices become as perilous as they are inevitable, Mira and Edward must decide if their bond will survive the fires of division-or be consumed by them.
