My name is Millie, and I’ve always lived by strict rules. Never stay out late. Never go past the city line. Never excel at sports. Never let anyone in on our secret. You see, I’m not an ordinary girl. I’m also a wolf. I live in Little Creek with my mom and dad. I go to school, and at night I run through the forest, but I never howl. I’m told it’s too dangerous. But what’s the point of having these gifts if I can’t do any good with them? Then one day, I sensed something. Another wolf. I feel drawn to Will instantly. What girl wouldn’t be? He’s tall, insanely hot with broad shoulders and soulful hazel brown eyes. Unlike my parents, Will isn’t afraid to tell me the truth. He teaches me about my culture and my history, and he shows me that there’s far more to this world than I ever believed. My parents aren’t going to be happy, but they’ve been holding me back. It’s time for me to howl with freedom. Read more

In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it’s coming for Clara… Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage to a suitor selected for her, without her input. From her birth, her entire life has been planned out for her, from lessons with her governess in academics—only what a future wife in society needs to know, of course—to etiquette and needlepoint. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs, to eventually begin the cycle anew. Her true feelings shared only with one of her sisters, Clara cringes at the thought of her destiny, doing all she can to accept the fate her parents have chosen for her. Only then, for the first time in her life, something unexpected happens. Clara falls gravely ill, and none of the usual methods, including leeching, can save her.
