Niflheim
Andrew Wilson
There is murder in the air on the island of Niflheim. But the victims don’t stay dead for long. With his mother’s dying words ringing in his ears, Ebenezer Munch is exiled to the north into the care of his estranged grandfather, the powerful Woden Tørsen.
Between the biting winds and the old man’s icy silence, Eben thinks the frost is his biggest enemy. However, the mist that creeps along the coast conceals more than just the deadly rock faces, as a killer stalks the night.
Soon Eben uncovers a terrifying truth – Niflheim isn’t just an island, it’s a gateway to something much darker. To save the world from fracture, Eben must embrace the frightening thing he is becoming. But some secrets are buried for a reason and once the truth is out, there is no crawling back.
The Last King of Faerie
Cassandra Clare
It’s Drusilla Blackthorn’s third year at Shadowhunter Academy when a chance encounter at a nightclub turns into a kidnapping. Dru finds herself held prisoner by Prince Ash Morgenstern in the land of Faerie, a place that proves just as dangerous as it is beautiful.
Despite herself, Dru is drawn to Ash and the darkness that seems to surround him – but one false move could cost her life. Meanwhile, a shocking disappearance rocks the foundations of the Shadowhunter world.
Kit Herondale and Ty Blackthorn must set aside the bitterness that lingers between them and join forces on a perilous quest to save everything they cherish.
Queen of the Spirit Woods
Sharon Choe
Mirae has a dangerous secret: She has faked her way into a job as a royal kitchen maid with the hope of sending money to her family. And life in the kitchens isn’t easy.
The palace is in an uproar after a recent assassination attempt on the king, and Mirae nearly gets fired after inadvertently getting in the crosshairs of Jae, the prickly crown prince, during his investigation. Her position gets even more precarious when a chance encounter with a witch in the mysterious spirit woods makes her the vessel of ten thousand spirits and deities.
When her new powers spill out into the palace kitchens, Wonshik, a kind nobleman, lends a helping hand. Soon Mirae finds herself embroiled in a power struggle between the queen and Wonshik’s best friend, Prince Jae. With the help of a fellow kitchen maid and a meddlesome ghost, Mirae must untangle the web of lies to find the traitor within the palace.
Recruitment
K. A. Riley
In the Valta, no matter what month you were born, everyone is assigned the same birthday. November 1st. It’s the anniversary of the day when the government declared war on the Eastern Order. The day you turn seventeen, the Recruiters come to take you away. And no one ever hears from you again.
It’s October 31st. Today, Kress is sixteen years old. Tomorrow, she’ll be taken.
The good news? So will her best friend Cardyn, and Brohn, the handsome, enigmatic boy she’s avoided all her life. The bad news? Recruitment isn’t what any of them expected.
Weeks of training await. Military and psychological tests, escape rooms, hand-to-hand combat. The Recruits are told they’re the key to winning the war. But with each day that passes, things begin to make less sense.
If only Kress had been able to bring her trained raven, Render, with her. If only none of them had ever had to come to this place.
