Gods walk the streets of Manhattan—but as prey. Lore reimagines Greek mythology as a high-stakes, once-every-seven-years hunt called the Agon. When a wounded Athena seeks out Lore Perseous, the last of her line, an unlikely alliance is born. It’s a breathless story of revenge, fate, and the courage it takes to break a cycle of violence that has lasted for centuries.
A thousand years of longing meets modern-day Nevada! Authors David Bowles and Guadalupe García McCall breathe new life into an ancient Aztec legend. When two star-crossed souls reincarnate as high schoolers, they must defeat an ancient enemy and reclaim their memories.
Magic runs through the blood and so does the curse. Four sisters in a Manhattan brownstone must navigate their divine lineage when a banishment gone wrong tears a hole between our world and the Underworld. This modern myth proves that saving your family requires giving up the things you love most.
Beauty is only skin deep, but the Beast’s curse goes much further. We discover the “why” behind the monster. Guided (and manipulated) by the eerie Odd Sisters, the Prince’s journey from vanity to bitterness is a dark reimagining of a classic.
Honesty is a trap, but lies can be a cage. The novel follows a morally grey prophet who weaves a web of deceit to survive the royal court. When a fake prophecy awakens a very real curse, Violet must choose between her own ambition and a dangerous attraction to a prince who hates her. A sharp, nostalgic, and wickedly clever reimagining of classic fairy tale themes.
