Book SynopsisVirginia St. George—of the dragon-slaying St. George dynasty—has the brains and bloodline that define her family’s legacy, but she’s never been good at following in their footsteps. She doesn’t have the powerful magic every St. George is born with or the sword-wielding skills of the paladins—like her sister, Celeste—who bravely combat their fire-breathing foes. Even worse, a past tragedy has left Virginia with a crippling fear of dragons…and facing arranged marriage to an aging nobleman eager for heirs. But when Celeste is kidnapped by an infamous dragon clan, Virginia must make a daring rescue and defy the fear that has tormented her for years. Virginia can’t do it alone, and her only ally is the notorious criminal she’s freed from her family’s dungeon. Who better to guide her into the dragons’ lair than one of their own? To save her flesh and blood, Virginia will risk her life—even if her first quest proves her final undoing.

Amazon Publishing The Casquette Girls
Book SynopsisAfter the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans, sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne and her father are among the first to return. Adele wants nothing more than to resume her normal life, but with the silent city resembling a war zone, a parish-wide curfew, and mysterious new faces lurking in the abandoned French Quarter, normal needs a new definition. Strange events—even for New Orleans—lead Adele to an attic that has been sealed for three hundred years. The chaos she accidentally unleashes threatens not only her but also everyone she knows. Caught in a hurricane of myths and monsters, Adele must untangle a web of magic that weaves the climbing murder rate back to her own ancestors. But who can you trust in a city where everyone has secrets and keeping them can mean life or death? Unless…you’re immortal.Trade Review“In this Southern Gothic love letter to the spookier side of New Orleans’s storied past, Arden spins out a moody tale of magic and mystery…A thoroughly satisfying page-turner and a strong debut.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Debut author Arden offers readers a full plate of Southern Gothic atmospherics and sparkling teen romance in a patiently crafted tale that will best reward careful readers…Satisfying teen entertainment but also a cathartic, uncompromising tribute to New Orleans.” —Kirkus Reviews “A slow-burning novel in the tradition of Anne Rice.” —Rue Morgue Magazine —“The Casquette Girls is a delicious Southern Gothic vampire story that will make you want to catch the next flight to New Orleans.” —Forever Young Adult “A smart story with a surprising amount of emotional depth…in the grand tradition of Buffy and The Lost Boys.” —IndieReader “It’s as if Arden took her life experiences within the Vieux Carré, assembled a few Hogwarts students as Avengers, channeled Magneto into Wednesday Addams, drenched the process in Parisian detail, and penned the great American novel.” —Examiner.com “The Casquette Girls by Alys Arden is eerie, magical, and gritty, getting into the grimy seams of New Orleans in the tradition of Anne Rice or Poppy Z Brite.” —SP Reviews “The French Quarter of New Orleans is the beautiful yet sinister backdrop for Alys Arden’s debut novel The Casquette Girls. Set in the aftermath of a devastating storm, which proves to be the beginning of an adventure for one of the city’s inhabitants, the tale involves murder, monsters, and dark magic.” —Gothic Beauty Magazine

Amazon Publishing Sing Down the Stars
Book SynopsisWhen they arrived, they spread across the sky like a sea of jellyfish—silent, unknown, alien. When they left, a year later, it seemed as if nothing had changed. But soon, certain girls were born with peculiar abilities—inhuman abilities. An international commission was formed to investigate…and fear began to spread. Families were swept from their homes and, one by one, any girl that was different disappeared. Penn Roma’s four sisters were born with these dreaded powers: they control the elements of fire, water, earth, and wind. Penn is the unimaginable fifth child, one with the power to call down the stars. Her father has hidden his daughters’ powers for sixteen years. Then, one explosive night, Penn loses everything: her sisters are taken, her family destroyed. Now, Penn must do the unthinkable and use the power she’s spent a lifetime suppressing. To save her family and herself, she must travel to the very heart of her world’s darkness and discover the truth about her terrifying gift.

From the start, sixteen-year-old Noa senses that the mysterious transfer student to her Monterey boarding school is different.

Soon they are bound by his deepest secret: Callum is Fae, banished from another world after a loss hauntingly similar to her own. But in Noa’s world, Callum needs a special human energy, Light, to survive; his body steals it through touch—or a kiss. And Callum’s not the only Fae on the hunt. When Callum is taken, Noa must decide: Will she sacrifice everything to save him? Even if it means learning their love may not be what she thought?Trade ReviewAward-Winning Finalist in the “Fiction: Fantasy” category of the International Book Awards Next Generation Indie Book Awards -Finalist in the Young Adult Category Silver medalist in the IPPY Awards USA Book Award Finalist in Best New FictionUSA Book Award Finalist in Best Fantasy “9 Early Autumn YA Books to Fall For” —Buzzfeed “Back to School Book Guide for the Young Adult” —San Francisco Book Review “Best Back to School Reads for Teens” —Culturalist “The fae tale is not your average fairy tale” —Hypable “I guarantee you’ll be hooked and anxiously awaiting the next book in the series” —USA Today

Amazon Publishing The Rule of One
Book SynopsisIn their world, telling the truth has become the most dangerous crime of all. In the near-future United States, a one-child policy is ruthlessly enforced. Everyone follows the Rule of One. But Ava Goodwin, daughter of the head of the Texas Family Planning Division, has a secret—one her mother died to keep and her father has helped to hide for her entire life. She has an identical twin sister, Mira. For eighteen years Ava and Mira have lived as one, trading places day after day, maintaining an interchangeable existence down to the most telling detail. But when their charade is exposed, their worst nightmare begins. Now they must leave behind the father they love and fight for their lives. Branded as traitors, hunted as fugitives, and pushed to discover just how far they’ll go in order to stay alive, Ava and Mira rush headlong into a terrifying unknown.Trade Review“The Rule of One is about family, adventure, self-discovery, and the search for space to belong. [It] hooks readers with the idea of a one-child policy in the future United States and a tightly held secret.” —Los Angeles Times “Ava and Mira’s world is an all-too-believable mix of advanced technology and environmental collapse. In their debut, Saunders and Saunders, themselves twins, lend an authentic voice to the girls’ first-person narration…Readers are in for a fast-paced ride, poised for a sequel, as the twins embrace their father’s call, in the words of Walt Whitman, to ‘resist much, obey little.’” —Kirkus Reviews “Dystopia fans will enjoy this adventure set in an all-too-plausible future America.” —School Library Journal “A suspenseful and timely dystopian thriller that should appeal to both adults and teens.” —Library Journal “Utilizing a sf-fantasy setting and a survival-oriented plot, the Saunders sisters are careful to promote growth and differentiation between the twins…There are parallels to current news stories, such as immigration, environmental resources, and an autocratic political system. Try this with fans of James Dashner’s Maze Runner series, Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Double Identity, or such clone books as Rachel Vincent’s Brave New Girl.” —Booklist “The apocryphal nature, strong female heroes, and similar concepts to the movie What Happened to Monday and to Margaret Haddix’s book series Shadow Children, are reflected in this plot-driven book. Readers of the genre will appreciate the page-turning action, the close calls, and the authors’ development of distinct personality differences between the twins.” —VOYA “The Rule of One, penned by IRL twins Ashley and Leslie Saunders (with another book to come), will be your new favorite YA series.” —HelloGiggles “The descriptions of everything are incredibly vivid and make you feel as if you are running for your life…This story was completely compelling.” —The Nerd Daily “The Rule of One offers a loving look at the relationship between two sisters against the backdrop of a totalitarian government…The book tells a heartwarming story highlighting the relationship between twins that transcends time. If you like young adult novels, loving families, a story about sisterhood, a believable dystopia or just a trek through the near-future United States, then you’ll like The Rule of One by Ashley and Leslie Saunders.” —The Daily Texan “Fans of the Divergent series by Veronica Roth as well as The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins will be sure to love this book. The Rule of One, with its totalitarian government and futuristic setting combined with a great plot and cast of characters will satisfy any dystopian lover…” —Teenreads “The Rule of One is a compelling, fast-paced dystopian story that challenges our sense of personal freedom and security. This fast-paced story will appeal to young adult readers of all ages.” —Kids’ Book Buzz “Young adults will find plenty to ponder and discuss in this fast-paced story…” —Winnipeg Free Press “Twin storytellers Ashley and Leslie Saunders are modern-day soothsayers who beautifully spin a suspenseful tale of the not so distant future. Pay attention—this could be what 1984 was to 1949.” —Richard Linklater, Academy Award–nominated screenwriter and director “Ashley and Leslie Saunders have created a masterpiece in this dark futuristic tale of twin sisters who must share one identity in a society where control is the order of the day. Intense and descriptive, the twists and turns this story takes, as well as the obvious love the sisters share for one another, make for an unforgettable journey.” —Kathy Parks, author of The Lifeboat Clique and Notes From My Captivity

Amazon Publishing Girl in the Shadows
Book SynopsisEighteen-year-old Moira Mitchell grew up in the shadows of Vegas’s stage lights while her father’s career as a magician soared. More than anything, Moira wants to be a magician too, but her father is dead set against her pursuing magic. When an invitation to join the Cirque American mistakenly falls into Moira’s possession, she takes action. Instead of giving the highly coveted invitation to its intended recipient, Raleigh, her father’s handsome and worldly former apprentice, Moira takes off to join the Cirque. If she can perform alongside its world-famous acts, she knows she’ll be able to convince her dad that magic is her future. But when Moira arrives, things take on an intensity she can’t control as her stage magic suddenly feels like…real magic. To further distract her, Raleigh shows up none too pleased at Moira’s presence, all while the Cirque’s cocky and intriguing knife thrower, Dez, seems to have it out for her. As tensions mount and Moira’s abilities come into question, she must decide what’s real and what’s an illusion. If she doesn’t sort it out in time, she may forever remain a girl in the shadows.Trade Review“An exciting, plot-driven summer read, a companion to Girl on a Wire.” —VOYA Magazine “I’m especially attracted to these books because they’re companion novels set in the same world, rather than a straight-up serial-type series. More family secrets and rivalries! More suspicions and magic! More star-crossed love!” —Leila Roy, Kirkus Reviews “Gwenda Bond has a real gift for writing believable, interesting teenaged protagonists, and puts that gift to use in Girl in the Shadows. A quick, enjoyable read, filled with an equal mix of grand flourishes and quiet moments. Recommended for YA readers, both young and not-so-young, particularly those with a love of magic.” —Fantasy Literature “Romance and mystery intertwine while Moira works out her problems with the coin, her father, mother, boyfriend, and herself. Girl in the Shadows makes for escape reading—escape to a circus world.” —White Tops Magazine, the official publication of the Circus Fans Association of America “There is a wonderful dialogue, a more-than-passing summer romance—long lost discoveries, lies, betrayal—and a lot of spotlights, bows, and very narrow escapes.” —Finding Wonderland
