| Title: City of Shattered Light |
| By (author): Claire Winn |
| ISBN10-13: 1635830710 : 9781635830712 |
| As darkness closes in on the city of shattered light, an heiress and an outlaw must decide whether to fend for themselves or fight for each other. As heiress to a powerful tech empire, seventeen-year-old Asa Almeida strives to prove she's more than her manipulative father's shadow. But when he uploads her rebellious sisterâ s mind to an experimental brain, Asa will do anything to save her sister from reprogrammingâ including fleeing her predetermined future with her sisterâ s digitized mind in tow. With a bounty on her head and a rogue AI hunting her, Asaâ s getaway ship crash-lands in the worst possible place: the neon-drenched outlaw paradise, Requiem. Gunslinging smuggler Riven Hawthorne is determined to claw her way up Requiemâ s underworld hierarchy. A runaway rich girl is exactly the bounty Riven needsâ until a nasty computer virus spreads in Asaâ s wake, causing a citywide blackout and tech quarantine. To get the payout for Asa and save Requiem from the monster in its circuits, Riven must team up with her captive. Riven breaks skulls the way Asa breaks circuits, but their opponent is unlike anything theyâ ve ever seen. The AI exploits the girlsâ darkest memories and deepest secrets, threatening to shatter the fragile alliance theyâ re both depending on. As one of Requiemâ s 154-hour nights grows darker, the girls must decide whether to fend for themselves or fight for each other before Rivenâ s city and Asaâ s sister are snuffed out forever. |

| For the most hated crew on Requiem, the only way out is up. Itâ s been four months since runaway heiress Asa crash-landed on the matriarchal outlaw colony Requiem, bringing a nasty AI and a host of deadly secrets with her.

But as the trials intensify, the saboteur hounds Asa and Rivenâ s every step, determined to kill Asa and right her fatherâ s wrongs. When the saboteur reveals a horrific conspiracy threatening all of Requiemâ one involving the crew member they thought theyâ d lostâ the girls must decide whether to risk their own skins for a city that loathes them. |

| Title: Clash of Fate and Fury |
| By (author): Rachel Menard |
| ISBN10-13: 1635830826 : 9781635830828 |
| Seventeen-year-old Gen may have rescued her beloved father from prison, but she hasnâ t saved him yet. If she fails her end of a bargain with the Olympian Empresses, they will send him right back to his cell. To keep the Empresses happy, Gen must bring them the legendary golden apples of Hesperides and the monstrous Cerberus. But both are rumored to be in the neighboring Elysium Empire, which has a long history of war with Olympia. Making matters worse, Genâ s former enemy and newly designated heir to the isle of Arcadia Castor invites herself on the journey, hoping a golden apple could end Arcadiaâ s reliance on Illumium for storm vials. And Castorâ s twin brother, Genâ s StormMaker boyfriend Pollux, has been pulling away from Gen due to troubles stemming from her mind magic. With Castorâ s pirate-thief girlfriend and Polluxâ s servant companion in tow, the unlikely team embarks on its voyage. But war is only an insult away in Elysium, and more than the Emperor has their eyes on Genâ s mission. The quest has caught the attention of one of Elysiumâ s Oracles, and trouble is sure to brew with Prophecy on the rise. |

Jase Ellison doesnâ t remember having acute lymphocytic leukemia when he was three years old. His cancer diagnosis only enters his mind twice a year: once at his yearly checkup at the oncology clinic and one when he attends Camp Chemo in the summer. No one in his â realâ life knows about his past, especially his friends at Atlanta West Prep. Mari Manos has never been able to hide her cancer survivorship. She wakes every morning, grabs her pink forearm clip crutches, and starts her day. Mari loves Camp Chemoâ where sheâ s developed a healthy crush on fellow camper Jase. At Camp, she knows that sheâ ll never get â the lookâ or have to explain her amputation to anyone. Jase wants to move on, to never reveal his past. But when Mari transfers to his school, he knows she could blow his cover. Thatâ s the last thing he wants, but he also cannot ignore his attraction to her. Mari wants to be looked at like a girl, a person, and not only known for her disability. But how do you move on from cancer when the world wonâ t let you? |

| Victory is the only option. Once a year, the Olympian Empresses grant the wishes of ten people selected by a lotteryâ for a price. Seventeen-year-old Gen, a former circus performer, wants the freedom of her father, who was sentenced to life in prison for murders she knows he didnâ t commit. Castor plans to carry the island Arcadia into the future in place of her brother, Pollux, but only after the Empresses force a change in her islandâ s archaic laws that require a male heir. To get what they want, Gen and Castor must race to complete the better half of ten nearly impossible labors. They have to catch the fastest ship in the sea, slay the immortal Hydra, defeat a gangster called the Boar, and capture the flesh-eating Mares, among other deadly tasks. Gen has her magic, her ability to speak to animals, her inhuman strengthâ and the help of Pollux, whoâ s been secretly pining for her for years. But Castor has her own gifts: the power of the storms, along with endless coin. Only one can win. The other walks away with nothingâ if she walks away at all. |
