THE SUN IS YOUR ENEMY TODAY
The island of Fáro used to be holy. Once blessed by the Divine Goddess Ayasha and protected by magical beings called Myzicas, most of its protectors have been slain or have mysteriously vanished, resulting in the island becoming a devastating desert wasteland.
August is a young adult struggling to provide for her ailing adopted mother in her rugged, near-ghost town. When she's caught breaking the law and is captured, she's taken to Devonne Institute for Delinquent Children, an institute set on reforming Fáro's wayward children run by the altruistic, noble, and scientific genius Altricia S. Devonne.
It's clear from the beginning that she was never meant to fit in - and that the institute isn't what it seems beyond its seas of equal children and Devonne's preachings that August must find out for herself.
Vixen is Devonne's personal righthand, raised by the headmaster since she was a baby abandoned by the river. When she meets August, she's instantly intrigued by her and becomes enveloped in her world, soon making her question the own ideals she has been taught by Devonne all her life.
Together, the two face dangerous secrets, disturbing truths, and a furious race against the clock - all while realizing that they are two fires meant to burn as one.

Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive.

One fight. One detention. One queen bee with blood on her teeth. Laine Torren doesn't do friends. She doesn't do drama. She doesn't do Regina George.

Deck of Fate
Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it. She has no desire to become a Diamond, with their supernatural intelligence, or a Heart with elemental magic, or Gods forbid, one of those pretentious special-powered Spades. She has always been resigned to serving the symbols she loathes, hoping to escape poverty and provide a better life for her mother. But when the Assembly brands her as a Spade, Elora's world is upended. Thrust into a deadly training base where survival is a test of will, she must navigate a world of privilege and power while grappling with her own prejudices. Rhiya Evergreen, Elora's best friend, has long dreamed of escaping Umbralyn, their shared city of the powerless. When assigned to serve one of the most prestigious families in Arcana, she believes she's found her way out. But her newfound life of luxury comes at a cost, as she uncovers dangerous secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she wanted. As Elora and Rhiya's paths diverge, they must navigate the truth about their society, their symbols, and themselves. When the Clubs disappear and Arcana's fragile balance of power starts to crack, Elora and Rhiya must choose between embracing their new roles or dismantling the system that defines them.
