Cary has never considered herself anything special. She's just another desert-dweller trying to survive the harsh conditions of Red Valley. But when she's struck by a lightning storm believed to be sent by a Goddess, she finds herself forced to leave her home and embark on a perilous journey to the Golden City--a place spoken about only in legend. On the path, she's captured by a fanatical religious group that demands she unlock a magical power only she can truly understand.
Her only hope of freedom lies in an alliance with Ran, a wealthy boy who seems like Cary's opposite in every conceivable way. Together, they must navigate a world of shifting alliances, unknown magic, and the looming question of who they truly are in the chaos of survival. As Cary's journey unfolds, she discovers that finding what really matters may be the greatest challenge of all.

Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual. What Dawn doesn't expect is for that very same monster to later need her help. Reluctantly, Dawn must join forces with her sworn enemy in order to uncover a plot that could lead to the ruination of everyone she cares for. Along the way, she learns that there is more to monsters than she originally thought. With this growing connection between the two, Dawn is forced to come to terms with her feelings for Syrena and reevaluate everything she once thought about her. Allied enemies, twisted betrayals, and a shocking truth plunges Dawn into questioning everything she once believed in, and herself...

Juniper has only ever dreamed of freedom. So when the day comes that she is to be sold to the highest bidder, she clings to one fragile hope-that anything must be better than serving a psychotic Vivomancer who holds her life through a blood-binding. Her plan is simple: travel to Center City Colstace, compete for a coveted position among the fae, and use the opportunity to escape for good.

Now hunted by her own kingdom, Juniper must decide whether to obey the stories meant to keep her safe... Or risk everything for a love that could break the curse-or destroy her world.
