The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein<\/em> by Kiersten White<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nElizabeth Lavenza hasn’t had a proper meal in weeks. Her thin arms are covered with bruises from her “caregiver,” and she is on the verge of being thrown into the streets . . . until she is brought to the home of Victor Frankenstein, an unsmiling, solitary boy who has everything–except a friend.<\/p>\n
Victor is her escape from misery. Elizabeth does everything she can to make herself indispensable–and it works. She is taken in by the Frankenstein family and rewarded with a warm bed, delicious food, and dresses of the finest silk. Soon she and Victor are inseparable.<\/p>\n
But her new life comes at a price. As the years pass, Elizabeth’s survival depends on managing Victor’s dangerous temper and entertaining his every whim, no matter how depraved. Behind her blue eyes and sweet smile lies the calculating heart of a girl determined to stay alive no matter the cost . . . as the world she knows is consumed by darkness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
A Blade So Black<\/em> by L.L. McKinney<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she’s trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills. Yet even warriors have a curfew.<\/p>\n
Life in real-world Atlanta isn’t always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the Nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice’s handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she\u2019s ever gone before. And she’ll need to use everything she’s learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head . . . literally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
For a Muse of Fire<\/em> by Heidi Heilig<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nA young woman with a dangerous power she barely understands. A smuggler with secrets of his own. A country torn between a merciless colonial army, a terrifying tyrant, and a feared rebel leader.<\/i>\u00a0The first book in a new trilogy from the acclaimed Heidi Heilig blends traditional storytelling with ephemera for a lush, page-turning tale of escape and rebellion.\u00a0For a Muse of Fire<\/i>\u00a0will captivate fans of Sabaa Tahir, Leigh Bardugo, and Ren\u00e9e Ahdieh.<\/p>\n
Jetta\u2019s family is famed as the most talented troupe of shadow players in the land. With Jetta behind the scrim, their puppets seem to move without string or stick\u2014a trade secret, they say. In truth, Jetta can see the souls of the recently departed and bind them to the puppets with her blood. But the old ways are forbidden ever since the colonial army conquered their country, so Jetta must never show, never tell. Her skill and fame are her family\u2019s way to earn a spot aboard the royal ship to Aquitan, where shadow plays are the latest rage, and where rumor has it the Mad King has a spring that cures his ills. Because seeing spirits is not the only thing that plagues Jetta. But as rebellion seethes and as Jetta meets a young smuggler, she will face truths and decisions that she never imagined\u2014and safety will never seem so far away.<\/p>\n
Heidi Heilig creates a vivid, rich world inspired by Asian cultures and French colonialism. Her characters are equally complex and nuanced, including the bipolar heroine. Told from Jetta\u2019s first-person point-of-view, as well as chapters written as play scripts and ephemera such as telegrams and letters,\u00a0For a Muse of Fire<\/i>\u00a0is an engrossing journey that weaves magic, simmering romance, and the deep bonds of family with the high stakes of epic adventure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beneath the Citadel<\/em> by Destiny Soria<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies. For centuries, the high council has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. After the last infallible prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged for more than a decade.<\/p>\n
In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. Her only allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt, and Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left her \u2014 and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. But by the time Cassa and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save the city \u2014 or themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
A Very Large Expanse of Sea<\/em> by Tahereh Mafi<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s 2002, a year after 9\/11. It\u2019s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who\u2019s tired of being stereotyped.<\/p>\n
Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. She\u2019s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments\u2014even the physical violence\u2014she endures as a result of her race, her religion, and the hijab she wears every day. So she\u2019s built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother.<\/p>\n
But then she meets Ocean James. He\u2019s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin. It terrifies her\u2014they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds\u2014and Shirin has had her guard up for so long that she\u2019s not sure she\u2019ll ever be able to let it down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Light Between Worlds<\/em> by Laura E. Weymouth<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nFive years ago, Evelyn and Philippa Hapwell cowered from air strikes in a London bomb shelter. But that night took a turn when the sisters were transported to another realm called the Woodlands. In a forest kingdom populated by creatures out of myth and legend, they found temporary refuge.<\/p>\n
When they finally returned to London, nothing had changed at all\u2014nothing, except themselves.<\/p>\n
Now, Ev spends her days sneaking into the woods outside her boarding school, wishing for the Woodlands. Overcome with longing, she is desperate to return no matter what it takes.<\/p>\n
Philippa, on the other hand, is determined to find a place in this world. She shields herself behind a flawless exterior and countless friends, and moves to America to escape the memory of what was.<\/p>\n
But when Evelyn goes missing, Philippa must confront the depth of her sister\u2019s despair and the painful truths they\u2019ve been running from. As the weeks unfold, Philippa wonders if Ev truly did find a way home, or if the weight of their worlds pulled her under.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blanca & Roja<\/em> by Anna-Marie McLemore<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe biggest lie of all is the story you think you already know.<\/p>\n
The del Cisne girls have never just been sisters; they\u2019re also rivals, Blanca as obedient and graceful as Roja is vicious and manipulative. They know that, because of a generations-old spell, their family is bound to a bevy of swans deep in the woods. They know that, one day, the swans will pull them into a dangerous game that will leave one of them a girl, and trap the other in the body of a swan.<\/p>\n
But when two local boys become drawn into the game, the swans\u2019 spell intertwines with the strange and unpredictable magic lacing the woods, and all four of their fates depend on facing truths that could either save or destroy them. Blanca & Roja is the captivating story of sisters, friendship, love, hatred, and the price we pay to protect our hearts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Damsel<\/em> by Elana K. Arnold<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: when the prince-who-will-be-king comes of age, he must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.<\/p>\n
When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, however, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon, or what horrors she has faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome prince, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny to sit on the throne beside him. Ama comes with Emory back to the kingdom of Harding, hailed as the new princess, welcomed to the court.<\/p>\n
However, as soon as her first night falls, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems, that there is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows\u2013and that the greatest threats to her life may not be behind her, but here, in front of her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When We Caught Fire<\/em> by Anna Godbersen<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s 1871 and Emmeline Carter is poised to take Chicago\u2019s high society by storm. Between her father\u2019s sudden rise to wealth, and her recent engagement to Chicago\u2019s most eligible bachelor, Emmeline has it all. But she can\u2019t stop thinking about the life she left behind, including her childhood sweetheart, Anders Magnuson. Fiona Byrne, Emmeline\u2019s childhood best friend, is delighted by her friend\u2019s sudden rise to prominence, especially since it means Fiona is free to pursue Anders herself. But when Emmeline risks everything for one final fling with Anders, Fiona feels completely betrayed.<\/p>\n
As the summer turns to fall, the city is at a tipping point: friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and the tiniest spark might set everything ablaze. Sweeping, soapy, and romantic, this is a story about an epic love triangle\u2014one that will literally set the city ablaze, and change the lives of three childhood friends forever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And that’s it! The nine arcs with pub dates between 9\/25 and 10\/23 that I’m most excited to read! What’s on your Fall TBR? Let me know in the comments below!<\/p>\n

Jetta\u2019s family is famed as the most talented troupe of shadow players in the land. With Jetta behind the scrim, their puppets seem to move without string or stick\u2014a trade secret, they say. In truth, Jetta can see the souls of the recently departed and bind them to the puppets with her blood. But the old ways are forbidden ever since the colonial army conquered their country, so Jetta must never show, never tell. Her skill and fame are her family\u2019s way to earn a spot aboard the royal ship to Aquitan, where shadow plays are the latest rage, and where rumor has it the Mad King has a spring that cures his ills.

But as rebellion seethes and as Jetta meets a young smuggler, she will face truths and decisions that she never imagined\u2014and safety will never seem so far away.<\/p>\n

Told from Jetta\u2019s first-person point-of-view, as well as chapters written as play scripts and ephemera such as telegrams and letters,\u00a0For a Muse of Fire<\/i>\u00a0is an engrossing journey that weaves magic, simmering romance, and the deep bonds of family with the high stakes of epic adventure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beneath the Citadel<\/em> by Destiny Soria<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies. For centuries, the high council has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. After the last infallible prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged for more than a decade.<\/p>\n
In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. Her only allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt, and Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left her \u2014 and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. But by the time Cassa and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save the city \u2014 or themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
A Very Large Expanse of Sea<\/em> by Tahereh Mafi<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s 2002, a year after 9\/11. It\u2019s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who\u2019s tired of being stereotyped.<\/p>\n
Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. She\u2019s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments\u2014even the physical violence\u2014she endures as a result of her race, her religion, and the hijab she wears every day. So she\u2019s built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother.<\/p>\n
But then she meets Ocean James. He\u2019s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin. It terrifies her\u2014they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds\u2014and Shirin has had her guard up for so long that she\u2019s not sure she\u2019ll ever be able to let it down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Light Between Worlds<\/em> by Laura E. Weymouth<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nFive years ago, Evelyn and Philippa Hapwell cowered from air strikes in a London bomb shelter. But that night took a turn when the sisters were transported to another realm called the Woodlands. In a forest kingdom populated by creatures out of myth and legend, they found temporary refuge.<\/p>\n
When they finally returned to London, nothing had changed at all\u2014nothing, except themselves.<\/p>\n
Now, Ev spends her days sneaking into the woods outside her boarding school, wishing for the Woodlands. Overcome with longing, she is desperate to return no matter what it takes.<\/p>\n
Philippa, on the other hand, is determined to find a place in this world. She shields herself behind a flawless exterior and countless friends, and moves to America to escape the memory of what was.<\/p>\n
But when Evelyn goes missing, Philippa must confront the depth of her sister\u2019s despair and the painful truths they\u2019ve been running from. As the weeks unfold, Philippa wonders if Ev truly did find a way home, or if the weight of their worlds pulled her under.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Blanca & Roja<\/em> by Anna-Marie McLemore<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe biggest lie of all is the story you think you already know.<\/p>\n
The del Cisne girls have never just been sisters; they\u2019re also rivals, Blanca as obedient and graceful as Roja is vicious and manipulative. They know that, because of a generations-old spell, their family is bound to a bevy of swans deep in the woods. They know that, one day, the swans will pull them into a dangerous game that will leave one of them a girl, and trap the other in the body of a swan.<\/p>\n
But when two local boys become drawn into the game, the swans\u2019 spell intertwines with the strange and unpredictable magic lacing the woods, and all four of their fates depend on facing truths that could either save or destroy them. Blanca & Roja is the captivating story of sisters, friendship, love, hatred, and the price we pay to protect our hearts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Damsel<\/em> by Elana K. Arnold<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: when the prince-who-will-be-king comes of age, he must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.<\/p>\n
When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, however, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon, or what horrors she has faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome prince, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny to sit on the throne beside him. Ama comes with Emory back to the kingdom of Harding, hailed as the new princess, welcomed to the court.<\/p>\n
However, as soon as her first night falls, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems, that there is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows\u2013and that the greatest threats to her life may not be behind her, but here, in front of her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When We Caught Fire<\/em> by Anna Godbersen<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s 1871 and Emmeline Carter is poised to take Chicago\u2019s high society by storm. Between her father\u2019s sudden rise to wealth, and her recent engagement to Chicago\u2019s most eligible bachelor, Emmeline has it all. But she can\u2019t stop thinking about the life she left behind, including her childhood sweetheart, Anders Magnuson. Fiona Byrne, Emmeline\u2019s childhood best friend, is delighted by her friend\u2019s sudden rise to prominence, especially since it means Fiona is free to pursue Anders herself. But when Emmeline risks everything for one final fling with Anders, Fiona feels completely betrayed.<\/p>\n
As the summer turns to fall, the city is at a tipping point: friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and the tiniest spark might set everything ablaze. Sweeping, soapy, and romantic, this is a story about an epic love triangle\u2014one that will literally set the city ablaze, and change the lives of three childhood friends forever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A young woman with a dangerous power she barely understands. A smuggler with secrets of his own. A country torn between a merciless colonial army, a terrifying tyrant, and a feared rebel leader.<\/i>\u00a0The first book in a new trilogy from the acclaimed Heidi Heilig blends traditional storytelling with ephemera for a lush, page-turning tale of escape and rebellion.\u00a0For a Muse of Fire<\/i>\u00a0will captivate fans of Sabaa Tahir, Leigh Bardugo, and Ren\u00e9e Ahdieh.<\/p>\n
Jetta\u2019s family is famed as the most talented troupe of shadow players in the land. With Jetta behind the scrim, their puppets seem to move without string or stick\u2014a trade secret, they say. In truth, Jetta can see the souls of the recently departed and bind them to the puppets with her blood. But the old ways are forbidden ever since the colonial army conquered their country, so Jetta must never show, never tell. Her skill and fame are her family\u2019s way to earn a spot aboard the royal ship to Aquitan, where shadow plays are the latest rage, and where rumor has it the Mad King has a spring that cures his ills. Because seeing spirits is not the only thing that plagues Jetta. But as rebellion seethes and as Jetta meets a young smuggler, she will face truths and decisions that she never imagined\u2014and safety will never seem so far away.<\/p>\n
Heidi Heilig creates a vivid, rich world inspired by Asian cultures and French colonialism. Her characters are equally complex and nuanced, including the bipolar heroine. Told from Jetta\u2019s first-person point-of-view, as well as chapters written as play scripts and ephemera such as telegrams and letters,\u00a0For a Muse of Fire<\/i>\u00a0is an engrossing journey that weaves magic, simmering romance, and the deep bonds of family with the high stakes of epic adventure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s 2002, a year after 9\/11. It\u2019s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who\u2019s tired of being stereotyped.<\/p>\n
Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. She\u2019s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments\u2014even the physical violence\u2014she endures as a result of her race, her religion, and the hijab she wears every day. So she\u2019s built up protective walls and refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt her. Instead, she drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afternoons break-dancing with her brother.<\/p>\n
But then she meets Ocean James. He\u2019s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin. It terrifies her\u2014they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds\u2014and Shirin has had her guard up for so long that she\u2019s not sure she\u2019ll ever be able to let it down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Light Between Worlds<\/em> by Laura E. Weymouth<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nFive years ago, Evelyn and Philippa Hapwell cowered from air strikes in a London bomb shelter. But that night took a turn when the sisters were transported to another realm called the Woodlands. In a forest kingdom populated by creatures out of myth and legend, they found temporary refuge.<\/p>\n
When they finally returned to London, nothing had changed at all\u2014nothing, except themselves.<\/p>\n
Now, Ev spends her days sneaking into the woods outside her boarding school, wishing for the Woodlands. Overcome with longing, she is desperate to return no matter what it takes.<\/p>\n
Philippa, on the other hand, is determined to find a place in this world. She shields herself behind a flawless exterior and countless friends, and moves to America to escape the memory of what was.<\/p>\n
But when Evelyn goes missing, Philippa must confront the depth of her sister\u2019s despair and the painful truths they\u2019ve been running from. As the weeks unfold, Philippa wonders if Ev truly did find a way home, or if the weight of their worlds pulled her under.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Blanca & Roja<\/em> by Anna-Marie McLemore<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe biggest lie of all is the story you think you already know.<\/p>\n
The del Cisne girls have never just been sisters; they\u2019re also rivals, Blanca as obedient and graceful as Roja is vicious and manipulative. They know that, because of a generations-old spell, their family is bound to a bevy of swans deep in the woods. They know that, one day, the swans will pull them into a dangerous game that will leave one of them a girl, and trap the other in the body of a swan.<\/p>\n
But when two local boys become drawn into the game, the swans\u2019 spell intertwines with the strange and unpredictable magic lacing the woods, and all four of their fates depend on facing truths that could either save or destroy them. Blanca & Roja is the captivating story of sisters, friendship, love, hatred, and the price we pay to protect our hearts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Damsel<\/em> by Elana K. Arnold<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: when the prince-who-will-be-king comes of age, he must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.<\/p>\n
When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, however, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon, or what horrors she has faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome prince, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny to sit on the throne beside him. Ama comes with Emory back to the kingdom of Harding, hailed as the new princess, welcomed to the court.<\/p>\n
However, as soon as her first night falls, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems, that there is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows\u2013and that the greatest threats to her life may not be behind her, but here, in front of her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When We Caught Fire<\/em> by Anna Godbersen<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s 1871 and Emmeline Carter is poised to take Chicago\u2019s high society by storm. Between her father\u2019s sudden rise to wealth, and her recent engagement to Chicago\u2019s most eligible bachelor, Emmeline has it all. But she can\u2019t stop thinking about the life she left behind, including her childhood sweetheart, Anders Magnuson. Fiona Byrne, Emmeline\u2019s childhood best friend, is delighted by her friend\u2019s sudden rise to prominence, especially since it means Fiona is free to pursue Anders herself. But when Emmeline risks everything for one final fling with Anders, Fiona feels completely betrayed.<\/p>\n
As the summer turns to fall, the city is at a tipping point: friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and the tiniest spark might set everything ablaze. Sweeping, soapy, and romantic, this is a story about an epic love triangle\u2014one that will literally set the city ablaze, and change the lives of three childhood friends forever.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fiona Byrne, Emmeline\u2019s childhood best friend, is delighted by her friend\u2019s sudden rise to prominence, especially since it means Fiona is free to pursue Anders herself.
