Her Hidden Fireby Cliodhna O'SullivanIn the first book of a heart-pounding, Irish-inspired debut romantasy series set in a world of dragons and magic, one girl must make an impossible decision: watch the boy she loves get exiled for lack of magic, or pass her formidable powers off as his own.
ow far would you go to empower the one you love? In a world where dragons soar through the skies and magical abilities are an elite privilege, the ruling family of Ailm's Keep is on a knife-edge: Can their son Ion in prove that he can channel magic, or will his entire family be cast out in disgrace? Adha, a servant girl who loves Ion in, is shocked to discover shortly before the test that she can wield magic herself. It's extremely rare for a girl to have this talent, especially outside the few great Families. At Ion in's moment of truth, when it's clear he is about to fail, Adha makes a desperate gamble to save him from humiliation by pretending her magic is his, forfeiting her own claim to power. Her decision sends them both to an academy of magic, where she must shield her secret from every grim Master and scheming apprentice--especially the handsome but enigmatic Gry. As Adha enters this whirlwind of patriarchy, class, heartache, and jealousy, she also learns about magic's terrible cost--the human price that Channellers willingly pay to maintain their power.

Burn the Water by Billy RayFrom award-winning screenwriter of The Hunger Games, Billy Ray comes an immersive and breathtaking enemies-to-lovers epic romance about war, loyalty, and the power that love has to save... or destroy.
The year is 2425 and London is underwater. Three hundred years ago, rising oceans drowned a vast majority of the English Isle. London is now a jungle of dead skyscrapers and submerged streets. Fighting over the scraps of a world none can remember, two Houses -- the Crowns and the Rogues -- have been at war for three centuries. Rafe is the Rogue army's fiercest captain. Jule is the Crown army's deadliest soldier. They are vicious and merciless, courageous and beloved by their Houses. They are sworn enemies. And then they fall in love. It's a death sentence. But their love is all-consuming. As Rafe and Jule try to keep each other alive in their war-torn world, they are forced to confront new, horrifying threats to their loved ones while the hatred between their Houses only grows. When mysterious foreigners appear on their shores, the warring factions may destroy each other, unless their two most ruthless soldiers can become beacons of peace and possibility, showing their people a different way, and save them all. From the award-winning screenwriter of The Hunger Games comes a visceral and breathless forbidden romance about sacrifice, the never-ending cycle of violence, and fiery, all-powerful love.
