  Lady Grace, lost in the middle and wishing she were braver.

  Lady Lizzy, so endlessly sunny, it’s easy to underestimate her.

  Then there’s Will Harvey, the proud, to-die-for—and possibly die with!—stable boy; Daniel Murray, the resourceful second footman with a secret; Raymond Allen, the unfortunate-looking young duke; and Fanny Rogers, the unsinkable kitchen maid.

  Upstairs! Downstairs! Toss in some farmers and villagers!

  None of them ever expected to work together for any reason.

  But none of them had ever seen anything like this.

  Bring Me Their Hearts

  by Sara Wolf

  Zera is a Heartless—the immortal, unaging soldier of the witch Nightsinger. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger’s control, she serves the witch unquestioningly. Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a prince’s heart in exchange for her own.

  No one can challenge Crown Prince Lucien d’Malvane...until the arrival of Lady Zera. She’s inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. The prince’s honor has him quickly aiming for her throat.

  So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all.

  Winner takes the loser’s heart.

  Literally.

  The November Girl

  by Lydia Kang

  I’m Anda, and the lake is my mother. I am the November storms that terrify sailors, and with their deaths, I keep the island alive.

  Hector has come to Isle Royale to hide. My little island on Lake Superior is shut down for the winter, and there’s no one here but me. And now him.

  Hector is running from the violence in his life, but violence runs through my veins. I should send him away. But I’m half-human, too, and Hector makes me want to listen to my foolish, half-human heart. And if do, I can’t protect him from the storms coming for us.

  Seize Today

  by Pintip Dunn

  Seventeen-year-old Olivia Dresden is a precognitive. Since different versions of people’s futures flicker before her eyes, she doesn’t have to believe in human decency. She can see the way for everyone to be their best self-if only they would make the right decisions. No one is more conflicted than her mother, and Olivia can only watch as Chairwoman Dresden chooses the dark, destructive course every time. Yet Olivia remains fiercely loyal to the woman her mother could be.

  But when the chairwoman captures Ryder Russell, the striking and strong-willed boy from the rebel Underground, Olivia sees a vision of her own imminent death…at Ryder’s hand. Despite her bleak fate, she rescues Ryder and flees with him, drawing her mother’s fury and sparking a romance as doomed as Olivia herself. As the full extent of Chairwoman Dresden’s gruesome plan is revealed, Olivia must find the courage to live in the present-and stop her mother before she destroys the world.
