Maggie Parker’s time is running out. When the clock strikes summer, she’ll be forced into her cubicle-gray future under the watchful eye and financial thumb of her father. Maggie is desperate to squeeze the technicolor life out of her remaining college experience. Yet every time she tries, something goes heinously wrong. The only person to blame is… her. 

Enter Elliot Vance.

A starter on the college baseball team, Elliot is facing a mountain of debt with little chance of a pro ball career. Landing a coveted internship at Parker & Klein would change everything—and Maggie Parker is willing to help him.

Gripping and poignant, It Begins with the End is a profound novel-in-verse about memory, resistance, and hope during WWII—from New York Times bestselling author Samira Ahmed.

April 1944.  Khursheed Khan, a young spy for the British Armed Forces, has been captured by the Nazis. She’s about to take her last breath. But to her, it’s not how her life ends that matters. It’s how she lived it.
 
What matters is the memory of her childhood in India and the lessons she learned from her resilient grandmother. What matters is her friends and family in Paris, whose lives are threatened by Nazi forces. What matters is the boy she wanted to love forever.
 
What matters is hope and resistance and the fight.
 
Written in moving and nuanced verse, It Begins with the End travels backward and forward through time as Kursheed recalls her life in the moments before it ends—reminding readers of all we must fight for when the worst of humanity threatens to steal everything and everyone we hold dear.

Perfect for fans of Holly Black, this enthralling romantic fantasy brims with dangerous bargains, ruinous romance, and deadly fae intrigue.

Habren Faire saved the fairies. But Sabrina Parry will not be rewarded for it.

Sabrina doesn’t live with the fairies. She visits, travelling with borrowed magic and her iron sword, and she has no intention of staying. She has places to be and centuries to travel through.

But when an ancient white dragon begins burning the villages of Gwlad y Tylwyth Teg to the ground, Sabrina’s family is in the firing line. The fairy king is nowhere to be found, and Sabrina hasn’t heard from Neirin in months.

Someone has to do something. The problem is, saving the realm the second time around is considerably more complicated than the first. The fairy court is a nest of scheming lords and murderous ambitions, each one watching Sabrina as closely as they’re watching the empty throne. And her father – brilliant, but infuriating – is already organizing the villagers for a fight she isn’t sure they can win.

As the King’s Champion, the people look to Sabrina for answers she doesn’t have, in a political game she never agreed to play, on behalf of a crown she doesn’t want to represent. All she has is her iron sword, a very bad plan, and the stubborn conviction that someone has to stand between a dragon and the people of the Summer Lands.

It might as well be her.

Get ready to once again lose yourself in the mystical Welsh world of Habren Faire, where danger, political intrigue and romance await you…

Grace has always followed the rules—especially the ninety-two she’s created since the zombie apocalypse began seven months ago. But when her aunt dies and she’s suddenly all alone, she decides to break Rule Number 5: Don’t make rash decisions. The next morning, she leaves Texas for Malibu, California, to find her favorite pop star, Harry Park. The journey will be dangerous, and Harry might not even be alive, but as long as she follows the rest of her rules, she’ll be fine … right?

And with hundreds of miles left and the gas tank running low, she has to ask herself: Is she chasing a foolish fantasy … or finally learning how to live?
