Sangu Mandanna

A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family—and a new love—changes the course of her life.

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.
 
But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and…Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.
 
As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when peril comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for....

Where a typical greeting is, “Have you had anything to eat?” Where magic and food and love are sometimes one and the same.

Hungry Hearts

Named one of the best 25 space opera books by BookRiot! The first book in a scifi retelling of the Mahabrahata. When Esmae wins a contest of skill, she sets off events that trigger an inevitable and unwinnable war that pits her against the family she would give anything to return to. In a universe of capricious gods, dark moons, and kingdoms built on the backs of spaceships, a cursed queen sends her infant daughter away, a jealous uncle steals the throne of Kali from his nephew, and an exiled prince vows to take his crown back. Raised alone and far away from her home on Kali, Esmae longs to return to her family. When the King of Wychstar offers to gift the unbeatable, sentient warship Titania to a warrior that can win his competition, she sees her way home: she’ll enter the competition, reveal her true identity to the world, and help her famous brother win back the crown of Kali. It’s a great plan. Until it falls apart. Inspired by the Mahabharata and other ancient Indian stories, A Spark of White Fire is a lush, sweeping space opera about family, curses, and the endless battle between jealousy and love.

Color Outside the Lines

An enchanting novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Sera Swan was once one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her magical Guild. Now she (slightly reluctantly and a bit grumpily) helps Aunt Jasmine run an inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guest’s shenanigans, tries to keep the talking fox in check, and longs for the magical future she lost. When she learns about an old spell book that could hold the secret to restoring her power, she finds herself turning to Luke Larsen, a gorgeous and icy historian who might be the only person who can help her unlock the book’s mysteries. The fact that he also happens to be her one-night stand from years ago is totally irrelevant. Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and trying not to fall in love is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone...and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.

One kingdom. One crown. One family. “Maybe it’s time the great House of Rey came to an end. After all, what are we now? Just a house of rage and sorrow.” Esmae once wanted nothing more than to help her golden brother win the crown of Kali but that dream died with her best friend. Alexi broke her heart, and she vowed to destroy him for it. And with her sentient warship Titania beside her, how can she possibly fail? As gods, beasts, and kingdoms choose sides, Alexi seeks out a weapon more devastating than even Titania. Past lives threaten the present. Old enemies claim their due. And Esmae cannot outrun the ghosts and the questions that haunt her. What really happened to her father? What was the third boon her mother asked of Amba? For in the shadows, lurking in wait, are secrets that will swallow her whole. The House of Rey is at war. And the entire galaxy will bleed before the end.

Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom

“A rare gem of a sequel . . . Each page drips with action and moral complexities.” —Natasha Ngan, New York Times bestselling author of Girls of Paper and Fire, on A House of Rage & Sorrow A prince without his kingdom.

And far, far away, on a dark, mysterious planet, a sleeping god stirs awake. War or family. Pride or peace.

Tajny Klub Nietypowych Czarownic

A sociedade supersecreta de bruxas rebeldes é uma fantasia romântica para quem não resiste a uma leitura aconchegante com um toque de magia. Na história, Mika, uma bruxa solitária, enfim tem a oportunidade de fazer parte de uma família e encontrar um novo amor. Uma das poucas bruxas na Grã-Bretanha, Mika Moon precisa seguir três regras: esconder sua magia, viver de maneira discreta e se manter distante de outras bruxas para que seus poderes não se misturem e causem algum acidente mágico. Como uma órfã que perdeu os pais muito cedo e foi criada por uma figura austera e rigorosa, Mika está acostumada a viver sozinha. E a seguir regras. Todas elas. Com uma exceção: os vídeos que publica on-line “fingindo” ser bruxa. Afinal, ninguém levaria a sério, né? Mas, então, Mika recebe uma mensagem inusitada implorando que ela viaje até onde Merlim perdeu as barbas para ensinar três jovens bruxas a dominar a própria magia. Contrariando as regras e o bom senso, Mika decide ir e logo se vê envolvida não só com as crianças, mas com os peculiares moradores da Casa de Lugar Nenhum: um anfitrião irreverente e seu marido adorável, uma governanta encantadora e um bibliotecário gato. Quer dizer, chato. Assim como todos ali, o tal bibliotecário faria qualquer coisa para proteger as meninas, mas, para o Sr. Ranzinza, uma desconhecida como Mika é uma ameaça. E não uma ameaça qualquer, mas uma das mais perigosas: uma ameaça irresistível. Conforme Mika conquista seu lugar na Casa de Lugar Nenhum, a ideia de ter uma família, um lar, de repente parece possível. No entanto, a magia não é o único perigo no mundo, e quando uma ameaça bate à porta, a jovem precisará decidir se vale a pena arriscar tudo para proteger uma família que nem sabia que procurava. “Um dos livros mais apaixonantes que li recentemente.

A Cosy, Heartfelt Witchy Romance from the Author of the Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

This modern, groundbreaking YA anthology explores the complexity and beauty of interracial and LGBTQ+ relationships where differences are front and center. When people ask me what this anthology is about, I’m often tempted to give them the complicated answer: it’s about race, and about how being different from the person you love can matter but how it can also not matter, and it’s about Chinese pirate ghosts, black girl vigilantes, colonial India, a flower festival, a garden of poisons, and so, so much else. Honestly, though? I think the answer’s much simpler than that. Color outside the Lines is a collection of stories about young, fierce, brilliantly hopeful people in love.—Sangu Mandanna, editor of Color outside the Lines With stories by: Samira Ahmed | Elsie Chapman | Lauren Gibaldi | Lydia Kang | Michelle Ruiz Keil | Lori M.
