Girl, Goddess, Queen (Standard Edition)
To hell with love, this goddess has other plans...Thousands of years ago, the gods spun a myth based on a lie. They claimed that though Persephone was to be a prize-bride for the most deserving god, Hades kidnapped her for himself. That she was just a pawn in the complicated politics of Olympus. That her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying. The real story is much more interesting. Persephone wasn't taken to hell: she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her. Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core. But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . .A fierce, fresh and enormously fun YA fantasy re-imagining from a growing TikTok star.

Hameln
For fans of Naomi Novik comes a delightful historical fantasy retelling of the Pied Piper of Hameln, from the perspective of the town's teens. There is no room for Clare the Adventurer in Hameln, a German town with hundreds of years of history, much of which has been kept secret from her. When a shocking murder leads to a plague of rats ruining her hometown's once-a-decade Obolen festival, Clare realizes there's more at stake than just losing her younger brother, the last in her family, to a distant apprenticeship. Thirteen-year-old Sophie is nobility, but that doesn't mean she has to stay on the sidelines waiting for everyone else to clean up the mess of rats running amok in Hameln. She's jumping in, uncovering potential suspects, and getting in Clare's way during every step of an investigation leading her deeper into her family's darkest secrets. Lukas, a wandering minstrel with a magic flute, might be the answer to all of their problems-if he didn't annoy Clare so much. He can't understand why she won't tell him what's really in her heart and she doesn't know why he's truly in Hameln. Every day, the increasing swarm of rats prevents Lukas from wooing Clare. When he rids Hameln of its rats, a whole host of deadly truths emerge, putting him and his fellow teens in grave danger.Can this motley crew unravel hundreds of years of magical pacts to save themselves from the curse that lies at the heart of everything amiss in Hameln?
