Alice Jasobsová nevěří na duchy… dokud jeden z nich neunese její dceru. Když její manžel zmizí při pátrání po sérii zvláštních a hrůzných událostí v hýřícím přístavním městě Salem, Alice je nucena vzít svou malou dcerku Abigail s sebou z Bostonu a sama se pustit do pátrání. Ale brzy se dozví o děsivém proroctví, na které se město připravuje po setmění: sto let poté, co byla žena jménem Rebeka Haleová pověšena za čarodějnictví, má její pomstychtivý duch během svátku Všech svatých povstat z pekla, aby uloupil duše salemských dětí. Alice považuje staré legendy za hloupé povídačky, dokud přízračná žena z kouře a mlhy neukradne Abigail z její postýlky. Zoufalá touhou najít svou dcerku dřív, než vyjde slunce a ona bude ztracena navždy, svádí Alice boj o čas v dechberoucím dobrodružství, které ji zavede ze zapomenutých žalářů a ponurých hřbitovů až k strašidelným lesům Šibeničního vrchu. Spolu s Jonasem Hobbsem – nespoutaným námořníkem, jenž pátrá po svém vlastním dítěti – bojuje na život a smrt s nadpřirozenými silami a odhalí temné tajemství, které může být klíčem k záchraně Abigailiny duše… ovšem pokud dokáže přežít nejděsivější noc svého života.

Swallow, daughter, pull them in, those words that sit upon your lips. Lock them deep inside your soul, hide them 'til they've time to grow. Close your mouth upon the power, curse not, cure not, 'til the hour. You won't speak and you won't tell, you won't call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, daughter. Stay alive. The day my mother was killed, she told my father I wouldn't speak again, and she told him if I died, he would die too. Then she predicted the king would sell his soul and lose his son to the sky. My father has a claim to the throne, and he is waiting in the shadows for all of my mother's words to come to pass. He wants desperately to be king, and I just want to be free. But freedom will require escape, and I'm a prisoner of my mother's curse and my father's greed. I can't speak or make a sound, and I can't wield a sword or beguile a king. In a land purged of enchantment, love might be the only magic left, and who could ever love . . . a bird?

A funny, moving love story about facing fears hand in hand - one snake/spider/potentially unstable fourth-floor balcony at a time.

Henry Page has never been in love. He fancies himself a hopeless romantic, but the slo-mo, heart palpitating, can't-eat-can't-sleep kind of love that he's been hoping for just hasn't been in the cards for him-at least not yet. Instead, he's been happy to focus on his grades, on getting into a semi-decent college and finally becoming editor of his school newspaper. Then Grace Town walks into his first period class on the third Tuesday of senior year and he knows everything's about to change. Grace isn't who Henry pictured as his dream girl-she walks with a cane, wears oversized boys' clothes, and rarely seems to shower. But when Grace and Henry are both chosen to edit the school paper, he quickly finds himself falling for her. It's obvious there's something broken about Grace, but it seems to make her even more beautiful to Henry, and he wants nothing more than to help her put the pieces back together again. And yet, this isn't your average story of boy meets girl. Krystal Sutherland's brilliant debut is equal parts wit and heartbreak, a potent reminder of the bittersweet bliss that is first love.

On her long journey home from school after a fight which will surely lead to her expulsion, Karigan G'ladheon ponders her future as she trudges through the immense forest called Green Cloak. But her thoughts are interrupted by the clattering of hooves as a galloping horse bursts from the woods, the rider slumped over his mount's neck, impaled by two black-shafted arrows. As the young man lies dying on the road, he tells Karigan that he is a Green Rider, one of the legendary messengers of the king, and that he bears a "life and death" message for King Zachary. He begs Karigan to carry his message, warning her not to read it, and when she reluctantly agrees, he makes her swear on his sword to complete his mission "for love of country." As he bestows upon her the golden winged-horse brooch which is the symbol of his office, he whispers on his dying breath, "Beware the shadow man..." Karigan's promise changes her life forever. Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, and accompanied by the silent specter of the original messenger, she herself becomes a legendary Green Rider. Caught up in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand, Karigan is hounded by dark beings bent on seeing that the message, and its reluctant carrier, never reach their destination.
