You don’t have to like each other—you just have to survive together.

In Cassidy Ellis Salter’s These Shattered Spires, a cursed world rots beneath a deadly sky as Fourspires Castle descends into chaos after its ruler’s assassination. To claim the throne, arcanists must survive the brutal Slaughter—but for their familiars, it means certain death. Nixie, a botanical familiar, discovers a chance to escape her fate, but only by allying with rivals, including her ex-girlfriend Taro. With just 48 hours, they must battle monstrous threats—and each other.

In Lauryn Hamilton Murray’s Tides of Fortune, newly crowned Queen Blaze must secure the Eye of the Soul before it falls into the wrong hands. Her search forces her into an uneasy alliance with the enigmatic Fox, whose motives are as uncertain as her growing feelings. As danger closes in, Blaze must decide who to trust in a world where power and survival are always at odds.
