NOVL Loves You

Danger lurks beyond the ivy in this lush dark academia romance perfect for fans of Olivie Blake and Elise Kova. 

Bound by tradition. Consumed by love. 

Thirteen years after her mother’s suspicious death within the walls of the Eleusinia Institute, Cora Reed steps back through its iron gates with one goal: uncover the truth.

By day, Cora throws herself into her alchemy studies; by night, she searches for clues to her mother’s fate. The only distraction she can’t escape is Adrian Byrne–brilliant, arrogant, and devilishly handsome, he’s college royalty with an unsettling knowledge of what lurks beneath Eleusinia’s polished facade. But when her investigation uncovers a dangerous power festering at the heart of the school, she has no choice but to turn to him for help. What begins as a reluctant alliance soon ignites into a passion neither of them can control. 

But Eleusinia feeds on sacrifice, and in a place where ambition outlives mercy, even love can become a casualty.

Steeped in lush prose and restless yearning, In the Garden of Bones is a dark and magical gothic romance about love, legacy, and the terrible cost of uncovering what should have stayed buried.

Dot is Liberty’s best friend and complete opposite—working-class, sharp-edged, with a reputation for violence. But no one has what Dot has: access to Liberty’s digital art project, a frantic video Liberty uploaded as she ran for her life, and one final message. The proof is in the project. Don’t trust our friends. 

Now it’s up to Dot to decode Liberty’s files, uncover the truths buried in their tight-knit town, and avenge her friend.

Perfect for fans of Holly Black, this enthralling romantic fantasy brims with dangerous bargains, ruinous romance, and deadly fae intrigue.

Habren Faire saved the fairies. But Sabrina Parry will not be rewarded for it.

Sabrina doesn’t live with the fairies. She visits, travelling with borrowed magic and her iron sword, and she has no intention of staying. She has places to be and centuries to travel through.

But when an ancient white dragon begins burning the villages of Gwlad y Tylwyth Teg to the ground, Sabrina’s family is in the firing line. The fairy king is nowhere to be found, and Sabrina hasn’t heard from Neirin in months.

Someone has to do something. The problem is, saving the realm the second time around is considerably more complicated than the first. The fairy court is a nest of scheming lords and murderous ambitions, each one watching Sabrina as closely as they’re watching the empty throne. And her father – brilliant, but infuriating – is already organizing the villagers for a fight she isn’t sure they can win.

As the King’s Champion, the people look to Sabrina for answers she doesn’t have, in a political game she never agreed to play, on behalf of a crown she doesn’t want to represent. All she has is her iron sword, a very bad plan, and the stubborn conviction that someone has to stand between a dragon and the people of the Summer Lands.

It might as well be her.

Get ready to once again lose yourself in the mystical Welsh world of Habren Faire, where danger, political intrigue and romance await you…

Grace has always followed the rules—especially the ninety-two she’s created since the zombie apocalypse began seven months ago. But when her aunt dies and she’s suddenly all alone, she decides to break Rule Number 5: Don’t make rash decisions. The next morning, she leaves Texas for Malibu, California, to find her favorite pop star, Harry Park. The journey will be dangerous, and Harry might not even be alive, but as long as she follows the rest of her rules, she’ll be fine … right?

As the miles tick by and the rule breaking piles up, their friendship deepens. But Grace starts to realize she is running from more than just zombies—she’s running from a grief she’s not ready to face. And with hundreds of miles left and the gas tank running low, she has to ask herself: Is she chasing a foolish fantasy … or finally learning how to live?
