In a world where rivers heave names in coppery sighs and lullabies glitch like verdigris on the tongue, fifteen-year-old Adam Kingsreed tastes salt-guilt in every pulse of the bone he unearths from Camden's mist-slick wharf.

Sixteen-year-old Shannon escapes alabaster spires-dirigible leather creaking, Lise's scream lost to the wind's pull-thorn-amulet burning cold, alone under stars wheeling like judgment.

Their scars converge in Quiver's beetle-husk ruins, where Adam's bone and Shannon's thorn fuse in a kiss of copper guilt and licorice breath. The lullaby awakens-NyxIO's corrupted cradle-song from a future where man and machine nearly died.

From Camden's poplar shadows to Quiver's malachite glow, they must unite shard and thorn to shatter the breathing veil-or let the world die again.

The Queen of Cats by maybeiwas2shy

Dark things swarm around the city. Newspaper-boys are lured into houses, strange mansions whisper into musicians' ears, old men tell tales of vampires, drums boom in the Savannah, children worship false gods and priests begin to question the very foundations of the universe. And all this has something to do with a girl who has no name and a cat whose name nobody knows. A dark, surreal adventure, this book is my flawed tribute to weird-fiction and the writers who made me.

Slice of (magic) Life by Azuriko_Kito

Axle has known magic his whole life. Not the kind of magic from stage acts and swindlers on the streets, the kind that was used in secret, under the cover of lies and facades. Magic that, when found out by regular non-magic civilians, will be mercilessly sought out and destroyed if they weren't able to use it for themselves. This was his father's warning. But even when kept a secret, danger lurks ever so closely and Axle had to find a way to stop it all on his own... Or did he? Elaine knew she wasn't the only one. She had this feeling that there were others in her high school that did what she could do: real magic. Just when she was mustering up the courage to ask someone else that she thought was like her, danger strikes her school. A danger that she felt was related to her magic. She knew she had to do something about it. Should she deal with the threat alone like she usually faced everything else in her life? Or will she finally confront her suspicions about a certain boy from her school that she was sure had magic like her? ------------------------------------------------------- Huuuge thank you to the user @rainhither for creating this beautiful cover. You're the best!! This is an original story by me. The characters from this work are part of a different, but same universe, original novel I am currently writing. However, the main story of this universe will not be published here (at least that's my decision for now.) since I plan to publish/self-publish that work. Thanks for reading all the way to the end and I hope you like it!

We Leapt Into the Sky by cjyeates

Kendra lives for exploration. Drawn to the stars, she can't turn down the opportunity to explore newly discovered ruins on a faraway planet. But the expedition stirs up old memories as four scientists work in close quarters. An undeniable romantic tension is brewing between fellow explorers Antony and Seph-if they could just stop bickering during lab meetings. Kendra questions the judgment of their intellectual leader, Bria, who ignores mounting evidence that they've stumbled upon forces they don't understand. Between dreams of alien cities and strange memories that aren't her own, she realizes that something else may be sleeping in the ruins. And soon, that sleeping presence is bound to wake. 95,000 words.

All I Have Are the Stars by seraphina_sonnet

"'I tell the stars about you' Ashlynn broke the silence after they had both been staring at the sky for an ungodly amount of time." Nothing has ever gone right for Noah, it never has. The only time he's had hope was when Ashlynn, his beloved, was still alive. Now he's succumb to the use of the strongest and strangest type of drug known in the Farnworth region to see his one true love again. Every night he restlessly falls into a blissful dream about her, which always ends in a horrific nightmare of the day she left. This has been his life for the past year, never showing his face past the woods which surround his cabin. The townspeople forgot he existed, the forest creatures think he's a walking corpse, and Noah's convinced he'll die soon enough to finally see his one true love, where ever she is. Until some pathetic creature decides to help Noah by breaking into his home shoving him into withdrawal. Observe Noah's journey as you meet old friends, new foes, intriguing frenemies, and fantastically dramatic mood swings which can each be described as their own character. //tw. drug abuse, description of trauma, murder, sleep paralysis, nightmares

No, you can't apply to be listed in my book of COOL BOOKS. No, I don't guarantee that a COOL BOOKS listing will confer a boost in readership. It confers a listing and a sticker that I send you privately. At some point it might also confer a book review. Maybe. As it is, it confers COOLNESS.
