Book Description
You’ve heard the story before: an orphaned boy, raised by a wise old man, comes to a fuller knowledge of his magic and uses it to fight the great evil threatening his world. But what if that hero were destined to become the new dark lord? The Academy of Chaenbalu has stood against magic for centuries. Hidden from the world, acting from the shadows, it trains its students to detect and retrieve magic artifacts, which it jealously guards from the misuse of others. Because magic is dangerous: something that heals can also harm, and a power that aids one person may destroy another. Of the academy’s many students, only the most skilled can become avatars—warrior thieves, capable of infiltrating the most heavily guarded vaults—and only the most determined can be trusted to resist the lure of magic. More than anything, Annev de Breth wants to become one of them. But Annev carries a secret. Unlike his classmates who were stolen as infants from the capital city, Annev was born in the village of Chaenbalu, was believed to be executed, and then unknowingly raised by his parents’ killers. Seventeen years later, he struggles with the burdens of a forbidden magic, a forgotten heritage, and a secret deformity. When Annev is subsequently caught between the warring ideologies of his priestly mentor and the Academy’s masters, he must finally decide whether to accept the truth of who he really is ... or embrace the darker truth of what he may one day become.

Book Description
There are many streets across America located within, or near the Barrios. Mulberry Street is one of those found in Roswell, New Mexico where one family struggles against the inevitability of failure and death. La Licha is the story of one woman's family and how abuse, alcohol, and drugs can take them from the appearance of respectability in the early years, to a place where death becomes a constant companion as years pass. Licha is an ordinary woman faced with extraordinary challenges as her sons mature and begin their paths of self-destruction and a common adage is, "It's better to have a drug dealer in the family since it means you won't have to support them any longer." In this novel, children, teenagers, young men, and those women unlucky enough to live on Mulberry Street find little comfort in a life where heroes are absent, and dreams are unrealized. Follow each of the members of the Galindo family through the decades as they experience life at the edge of the barrio during the tumultuous period of their adolescent years, and then later as they become young men struggling to find their identity. There are others who live on this street of sorrows like Don Luis, the old man who's drinking often finds him passed out unceremoniously in the street or his front yard. Or, Mama Dia and her ability to act as a window to the madness occurring on a daily basis with her common sense insight into the madness she witnesses. The pages of La Licha tell a story of a mother's unselfish love, a brotherhood of men who live and die together, and the futility of hope for a better future.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Get swept away by this “haunting” (Bustle) YA novel about twelve beautiful sisters living on an isolated island estate who begin to mysteriously die one by one. This dark and atmospheric fairy tale inspired story is perfect for fans of Yellowjackets. "Step inside a fairy tale." —Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed. Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last--the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge--and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods. Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who--or what--are they really dancing with? When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family--before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with... And don't miss Erin Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.
