Frozen
by Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston
Heart of Dread #1
Welcome to New Vegas, a
city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Like much of the
destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature—freezing. But
some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a
24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the
casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its
shadows.
At the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like many, she's heard of a mythical land simply called “the Blue.” They say it’s a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. More importantly, it’s a place where Nat won’t be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light.
But passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by a cocky runner named Ryan Wesson to take her there. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat and Wes find themselves inexorably drawn to each other. But can true love survive the lies?

The Burning Sky

Elemental Trilogy #1
Iolanthe Seabourne is the greatest elemental mage of her generation—or so she's being told. The one prophesied for years to be the savior of The Realm. It is her duty and destiny to face and defeat the Bane, the greatest mage tyrant the world has ever known. A suicide task for anyone let alone a sixteen-year-old girl with no training, facing a prophecy that foretells a fiery clash to the death.
Prince Titus of Elberon has sworn to protect Iolanthe at all costs but he's also a powerful mage committed to obliterating the Bane to avenge the death of his family—even if he must sacrifice both Iolanthe and himself to achieve his goal.
But Titus makes the terrifying mistake of falling in love with the girl who should have been only a means to an end. Now, with the servants of the Bane closing in, he must choose between his mission and her life.
Tumble & Fall
by Alexandra Coutts
The world is living in
the shadow of oncoming disaster. An asteroid is set to strike the Earth
in just one week’s time; catastrophe is unavoidable. The question isn’t
how to save the world—the question is, what to do with the time that's
left? Against this stark backdrop, three island teens wrestle with
intertwining stories of love, friendship and family—all with the
ultimate stakes at hand.
