Synopsis

Еллорен Ґарднер — онучка останньої Чорної відьми з пророцтва Карнісси Ґарднер, що відтіснила ворожі сили і врятувала ґарднерійський народ під час Війни королівств. І хоча зовні вона копія своєї відомої бабусі, Еллорен не має жодних магічних сил у суспільстві, яке понад усе цінує магічні здібності. Коли в неї з’являється можливість втілити свою давню мрію стати аптекаркою, Еллорен приєднується до своїх братів у престижному Університеті Верпакса, щоби прийняти власну долю, без тіні спадщини її бабусі. Незабаром вона усвідомлює, що на навчання приймають представників різних народів — зокрема крилатих ікаралів, які володіють вогнем,— заклятих ворогів усіх ґарднерійців. Це місце небезпечне для внучки Чорної відьми. На горизонті повстає зло, тиск на Еллорен зростає — і все, що вона раніше знала, піддається сумнівам, а попередні уявлення про світ руйнуються. Її єдина надія на виживання може виявитися серед групи бунтівників… тільки якщо вона знайде в собі сміливість довіряти тим, кого її вчили боятися.

Something Witchy This Way Comes

★ 3.84

Veronica Blade

Brainiac Tessa McClean's newly discovered magical powers give her hope of an escape from her inadequate life. But the thrill of being a witch fades when she learns of a rival coven and begins to suspect her own coven's objective. Evidence tells Tessa to trust one side, but instinct drives her toward the other.

When Hayden Anders, the most delinquent kid in school--and the toughest--offers self-defense lessons in exchange for tutoring, the timing couldn't be better. Though the idea of hanging out with a bad-boy that tempting is unnerving, staying alive amidst warring witches takes priority. She vows to hold onto her values and not surrender to the bad-boy she begins to secretly want.

Together, Tessa and Hayden uncover the truth about the two factions--a truth that explains why the covens will stop at nothing to lure her to their side. Tessa has only a matter of weeks to form an alliance with one coven or the other, but the wrong decision could cost Tessa the lives of all those she loves--including Hayden.

In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live alongside humans, one sixteen-year-old boy is trapped between the two sides. Nathan’s father is the world’s most powerful and cruel witch, and his mother is dead. Both groups of witches see Nathan as their greatest threat—or their greatest weapon. Trapped in a cage, beaten and handcuffed, he must escape before his seventeenth birthday, at which point he will receive three gifts from his father and come into his own as a witch—or else he will die.

Welcome to the world of the Grisha.

Kaz Brekker and his crew of deadly outcasts have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives.

Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties.

A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets - a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world.

The Demon King

★ 4.15

Cinda Williams Chima

Times are hard in the mountain city of Fellsmarch. Reformed thief Han Alister will do almost anything to eke out a living for his family. The only thing of value he has is something he can't sell—the thick silver cuffs he's worn since birth. They're clearly magicked—as he grows, they grow, and he's never been able to get them off.

One day, Han and his clan friend, Dancer, confront three young wizards setting fire to the sacred mountain of Hanalea. Han takes an amulet from Micah Bayar, son of the High Wizard, to keep him from using it against them. Soon Han learns that the amulet has an evil history—it once belonged to the Demon King, the wizard who nearly destroyed the world a millennium ago. With a magical piece that powerful at stake, Han knows that the Bayars will stop at nothing to get it back.

Meanwhile, Raisa ana'Marianna, princess heir of the Fells, has her own battles to fight. She's just returned to court after three years of freedom in the mountains—riding, hunting, and working the famous clan markets. Raisa wants to be more than an ornament in a glittering cage. She aspires to be like Hanalea—the legendary warrior queen who killed the Demon King and saved the world. But her mother has other plans for her...

The Seven Realms tremble when the lives of Hans and Raisa collide, fanning the flames of the smoldering war between clans and wizards.
