The thrilling conclusion to the A Hundred Names for Magic trilogy is not your average fairytale. An unforgettable alternative history fairy-tale series from the author of The Bone Witch about found family, modern day magic, and finding the place you belong. What if there was no good or evil? And everything you thought couldn't possibly be real, was. What if the war you'd been fighting changed heroes into villains and enemies into friends until all that was still true… was you. It's been three months since the Snow Queen and OzCorp infiltrated Maidenkeep and nearly seized the Nine Maidens. Ryker is still unconscious and the rest of the group is feeling the effects of the prolonged war. Not to mention that Abigail Fey's curse has far-reaching consequences, and many in the Royal States have been using it to stir unrest and hostilities against Avalon. When the Adarna, a firebird-like creature appears in Avalon, the gang discovers it is one of seven magical artifacts that the Snow Queen has been searching for, in her bid to open a portal to Buyan-a place that could grant her tremendous power. Determined to find the artifacts first the Bandersnatchers find information about the other five: The Singing Bone, The Hamelin Flute, The Tamatebako, The Lotus Lanternm The Raskovnik, and The Wonderland Tree. But the Snow Queen will stop at nothing to get to the relics first. And as the final battle approaches, both sides will lose the ones they love as the fight to save or destroy Avalon finally comes to be.

Twelve years ago, tragedy struck a sleepy Texas town. Only a small number of those impacted survived-a group the media dubbed The Ones Who Got Away. This is their story. NEVER ADMIT THE TRUTH: Taryn Landry was there that awful night Long Acre changed from the name of a town to the title of a national tragedy. Everyone knows she lost her younger sister. No one knows it was all her fault-or the guilt she carries with her every day. NEVER LOOK BACK: As the older brother of the troubled shooter, Shaw Miller has spent more than a decade dealing with the fallout. After losing everything-his chance at Olympic gold, his family, almost his sanity-he's changed his name, his look, and he's finally starting a new life free from the shadow of the horrible thing his brother did. Shaw and Taryn weren't meant to meet each other. They weren't meant to fall in love. Now they're left grappling with undeniable feelings, both of them wondering: When the world defines you by a tragedy, how do you defy the odds to build your own happy ending? By turns heart-wrenching and deeply romantic, this award-winning spicy contemporary romance will challenge the way you see life, love, and happily ever after.

True magic is found among the bluebells and brambles in Chelsea Iversen’s beautiful second novel: a cosy historical fantasy that illuminates one Victorian woman’s inner magic. A woman alone is a force of nature… Harriet Hunt is completely alone. Her father disappeared months ago, leaving her to wander the halls of Sunnyside house, dwelling on a past she’d rather keep buried. She doesn’t often venture beyond her front gate, instead relishing the feeling of dirt under her fingernails and soft moss beneath her feet. Consequently, she’s been deemed a little too peculiar for popular Victorian society. This solitary life suits her fine, though – because, outside, magic awaits. Harriet’s garden is special. It’s a wild place full of twisting ivy, vibrant plums, and a quiet power that buzzes like bees. Caring for this place and keeping it from running rampant through the streets of her London suburb is Harriet’s purpose. But a woman alone in the world is vulnerable. Soon, a sinister plot involving her father’s disappearance begins to take shape, with Harriet herself at its centre. Everything she holds dear – from the thorny roses she tends to her very freedom itself – is at stake. To save herself, Harriet will have to unearth her past, discover the secrets of her garden, and finally embrace the wild magic inside of her. With a touch of magical realism and a hearty dose of mystery, this lush cosy fantasy from the author of The Witches at the End of the World further establishes Chelsea Iversen as a standout new voice in women’s fiction.
