Boszorkafölde 1: Truthwitch - Igazságboszorka
Együtt megválthatjuk a világot?
Boszorkaföldén majdnem olyan sokféle varázserő létezik, mint ahányféle módon bajba lehet keveredni – és a mindenre elszánt Safiya és Iseult ezt mindenkinél jobban tudja.
Safiya igazságboszorka, vagyis képes az igazságot megkülönböztetni a hazugságtól. Nagy hatalommal járó varázserő az övé, olyannyira, hogy egyesek még a gyilkosságtól sem rettennének vissza, ha így a saját oldalukon tudhatnák. Ez különösen igaz a nemességre, arra a társadalmi rétegre, ahová Safi is tartozik. A lánynak ezért titokban kell tartania a képességeit, nehogy bábuvá váljon a birodalmak közti játszmában.
Iseult fonálboszorka, aki látja az életeket átszövő fonalakat – a saját szívéből kiinduló fonalak azonban láthatatlanok számára. Az ő és Safi közt szövődött különös barátságnak köszönhetően a kitaszított lány egy vakmerő kalandokkal teli életbe csöppen, amelyben hűvös nyugalma tökéletes ellenpontja Safiya forrófejű, lobbanékony természetének.
A két lány nem vágyik másra, mint szabadon élni az életet, ám Boszorkafölde fölött a háború fellegei gyülekeznek. Safinak és Iseultnak egy bosszúszomjas vérboszorkával a nyomukban császárokkal, hercegekkel és zsoldosokkal kell megküzdenie, akik bármit megtennének azért, hogy megkaparintsanak egy igazságboszorkát. Vajon az eszes Merik herceg mennyire tud a segítségükre lenni?
Hagyd, hogy elvarázsoljon!
The Luminaries
From NYT bestselling author comes a haunting, high-octane contemporary fantasy for fans of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Winnie Wednesday fights to take the deadly Luminary hunter trials in Hemlock Falls’ nightmare-filled forest.
Hemlock Falls isn’t like other towns. You won’t find it on a map, your phone won’t work here, and the forest outside town might just kill you…
Winnie Wednesday wants nothing more than to join the Luminaries, the ancient order that protects Winnie's town?and the rest of humanity?from the monsters and nightmares that rise in the forest of Hemlock Falls every night. Ever since her father was exposed as a witch and a traitor, Winnie and her family have been shunned. But on her sixteenth birthday, she can take the deadly Luminary hunter trials and prove herself true and loyal?and restore her family's good name. Or die trying.
But in order to survive, Winnie must enlist the help of the one person who can help her train: Jay Friday, resident bad boy and Winnie’s ex-best friend. While Jay might be the most promising new hunter in Hemlock Falls, he also seems to know more about the nightmares of the forest than he should. Together, he and Winnie will discover a danger lurking in the forest no one in Hemlock Falls is prepared for.
Not all monsters can be slain, and not all nightmares are confined to the dark.

Truthwitch
Two best friends use their magic to save the world from war and corruption in Susan Dennard's New York Times bestselling YA fantasy, Truthwitch.
On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery," a magical skill that sets them apart from others.
In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble--as two desperate young women know all too well.
Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It's a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.
Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her--but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safiya's hotheaded impulsiveness.
Safiya and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and privateer) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.

The Hunting Moon
Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity. The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten. Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night.
Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent. On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers. Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own.
As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.
