The Mirror of Beasts (Silver in the Bone)

Author:
Expected Publication Date: July 30, 2024

#1 New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Bracken is back with the electrifying sequel to SILVER IN THE BONE, in which fresh betrayal ignites ancient magic to wake the dead, and a cursed girl with no magic of her own must put the past to rest.

With the dream of Avalon in ruins, Tamsin and her friends are all that stands in the way of Lord Death’s plans to unleash the horrors of Anwnn on the world of the living. As the Wild Hunt carves a bloody path across continents, Tamsin is mustering allies, tracking down powerful artifacts, and traversing into new otherlands in search of a way to stop him.

Legend tells of a “Mirror of Beasts,” powerful enough to trap even Lord Death in its accursed glass, but the mirror is not all that it seems. Tamsin must confront her own darkest secrets if she hopes to tap the mirror’s strength to defeat her enemies.

Arthurian legend bleeds into contemporary action, and scars of the past are torn open anew by a starcrossed love that refuses to go quietly. This riveting conclusion to the Silver in the Bone duology will hold you in its thrall until the very last page.

The Ballad of Darcy and Russell
Author: Morgan Larson
Publishing Date May 7, 2024
From New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson comes a sweeping romantic novel about love, fate…and that one night that can change everything.

Darcy believes in love at first sight.

Even though it’s never happened to her, she’s spent her whole life waiting for that perfect, magical moment. But right now, her life is anything but perfect. In the aftermath of a music festival, she’s stranded at a bus station until morning—the day before she leaves for college. Her phone is dead, she has no cash, and she’s convinced nothing good can come of this night…but then she meets Russell.

Russell. Cute and nice, funny, and kind. She knows this is the moment—and the guy—she’s been waiting for. And they have until sunrise to walk and talk and connect.

Over the course of this one fateful night—filled with football field picnics, night swimming, and escape-artist dogs—Darcy and Russell’s lives will change forever. They’ll discover things they never imagined about each other…and about themselves.

But can you really know someone after only a handful of hours? Is it possible to fall in love in just one day?

And is it worth saying hello…when you know you’re destined for a goodbye?

Ace Adler and the Pendulum of Doom
Author: John H. Matthews
Publishing Date: March 29, 2024
Twelve-year-old Ace Adler is counting down the minutes until the end of the school year. It’s just a little shocking when he counts them more than once. Ace learns that being a time traveler is useful when it comes to redoing class projects and stopping birthday cakes from getting destroyed. But it’s way less fun when an inventor from the 1600’s shows up to tell him that the giant pendulum clock which controls all time is broken.

And Ace is the only one who can fix it.

With the help of his best friend Alexis—and maybe his dad, if he can stop talking about the dreaded upcoming camping trip—Ace unravels clues to fix the clock and prevent time from stopping forever.
