Gracie:Most girls probably don’t go around picking up guys at family funerals.Gracie was seventeen when her grandfather died. Grandpa was the one person in Gracie’s life who believed her capable of anything despite her right-sided cerebral palsy. So, when her parents decided to stay with Grandma for the summer, Gracie wasn’t sure what to do with herself. She certainly didn’t expect to meet Elliott, a family friend who showed up at the funeral with his own grandparents to pay their respects.Elliott was sweet, funny, and had the prettiest oceanic eyes that Gracie had ever seen. But he was able-bodied. Gracie’s one serious relationship had ended in disaster, and she was terrified of trying to trust somebody like Elliott again.And when she wasn’t worried about her increasingly complicated feelings for Elliott, Gracie found herself harboring a decades-old family secret: Grandpa had left her a box of letters exposing a forbidden relationship that threatened to tear Gracie’s family apart.The summer before her senior year certainly wasn’t shaping up to what Gracie expected it would be. Was she strong enough to keep Grandpa’s secret to herself? And, perhaps more importantly, could she bring herself to trust Elliott, or would her own insecurities cause her to push him away?Gracie deals with dark themes, including descriptive struggles of mental health.

Beyond the Bucket List:Dell never thought she and her boyfriend, Charlie, would have a last kiss. Or that she would be diagnosed with cancer when she was seventeen. Or that her passion for running would inspire her community. But a Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis changes everything.When the disease doesn’t respond to treatment, Dell makes a bucket list—if she can’t beat cancer, she’ll live life on her terms for as long as she can. But despite growing close to a surprising new friend and deepening her relationship with Charlie, Dell wants more. Her fixation on crossing things off the list drives a wedge between her and the people she loves when she needs them most.In a world where none of us is guaranteed enough time to accomplish everything we might desire, Beyond the Bucket List reminds us that it’s not just what we do. It’s the lasting effect we have on the people around us.

Legacy of the Elder Dragon:In a city where magic hums through the bones of ancient machines and forgotten gods sleep beneath stone, four unlikely heroes, an exiled elven warden, a fire-wielding runaway, a blade wielding tactician, and a war-weary construct, uncover a conspiracy threatening to tear the world apart. When a coordinated attack shakes the city of Atlas, what begins as a search for a missing scholar unravels a deeper mystery tied to forbidden history, fractured realms, and a dormant power waiting to awaken. As ancient visions stir and darkness returns to the land, the fate of Ulrun hangs in the balance and only by embracing who they are, and what they were meant to become, can they hope to stand against the rising storm.
