Wings of Reverie
by Anna Bright
New Release!
Centuries after the events of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wings of Starlight, two fairies must battle a dangerous magic--and their growing feelings for each other--in order to save their home in the Winter Woods of Pixie Hollow. When frost fairy Periwinkle travels too close to the forbidden border where Spring meets the Winter Woods, she unknowingly discovers a thread of a lost magic. And, for the first time, she begins to dream. While Periwinkle's dreams start sweet, they slowly morph into more disastrous visions of the Pixie Dust Tree--the life source for all of Pixie Hollow--destroyed. Soon Periwinkle is confronted by a sparrow man who knows two secrets: one, that Peri has been dreaming, and two, that the Winter Woods is in terrible danger. The infuriatingly handsome stranger introduces himself as Weaver, claiming to be a dream-talent, the last of his kind. There's a chance he can spin Periwinkle's dreams into dream thread which could protect the Pixie Dust Tree. But to do so, they will have to embark on a quest to find a magic spindle and scissors in the legendary lost fairy workshops of dream-talents past. Peri begins a reluctant journey with Weaver through the uncharted heart of the Winter Woods. But dreaming is dangerous, and as Peri's dreams begin to unravel, she will start to question everything she thought she knew. For in Winter even beautiful things can hurt you... and Weaver is no exception. Return to Pixie Hollow with this exciting new story set in the world of Wings of Starlight several hundred years in the future.

May the Dead Keep You
by Jill Baguchinsky
Perfect for fans of Don't Let the Forest In and Wuthering Heights, this gothic horror novel is about the pasts that haunt us and the stories we decide to make for ourselves. There's nowhere Catie East would rather be than the redwood forest that surrounds her family's unusual historic home, the Heights. She prefers being alone in the forest. People are ... complicated. But when a scientist and his son move into the estate's cottage, planning to study the woods around them, the boy catches Catie's eye. And when a dead woodpecker miraculously comes back to life in his precious hands ... he captures her heart. Necromancy isn't the only strange thing happening in the Heights.There's an unfamiliar face in the mirror. Blood on the floors. Eyes in the wallpaper. And the men around her--including her once-sweet nature boy--are becoming something else. Something possessive and frightening. Something violent. As the Heights's dark history starts to come to light, Catie discovers that the home she loves is imbued with pain. And even though the pain isn't her own, it will corrupt her and the people around her all the same--unless she can stop it. A story about breaking cycles of abuse and overcoming generational trauma, May the Dead Keep You is an edge-of-your-seat read--equally horrifying, heart-wrenching, and hopeful.
