Blood and Sand – C.V. Wyk

FORGED IN BATTLE…
FROM THE DUST OF THE ARENA…
A LEGEND WILL RISE

The action-packed tale of a 17-year-old warrior princess and a handsome gladiator who dared take on the Roman Republic―and gave rise to the legend of Spartacus…

For teens who love strong female protagonists in their fantasy and historical fiction, Blood and Sand is a stirring, yet poignant tale of two slaves who dared take on an empire by talented debut author C. V. Wyk.

Roma Victrix. The Republic of Rome is on a relentless march to create an empire―an empire built on the backs of the conquered, brought back to Rome as slaves.

Attia was once destined to rule as the queen and swordmaiden of Thrace, the greatest warrior kingdom the world had seen since Sparta. Now she is a slave, given to Xanthus, the Champion of Rome, as a sign of his master’s favor. Enslaved as a child, Xanthus is the preeminent gladiator of his generation.

Against all odds, Attia and Xanthus form a tentative bond. A bond that will spark a rebellion. A rebellion that threatens to bring the Roman Republic to its end―and gives rise to the legend of Spartacus…

Ryan’s Bed – Tijan

I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident.

I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed—her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should’ve left…

I didn’t.
I didn’t jump out.
I didn’t get embarrassed.
I relaxed.
And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved.

I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept.

The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could’ve stayed forever, I would have.
He became my sanctuary.

Because—four hours earlier—my twin sister killed herself.

High Lonesome Sound – Jaye Wells

In the sleepy mountain town of Moon Hollow, Virginia, there is a church with a crooked steeple. No one will say for sure how it got that way, but it’s reason the whole town gathers every Decoration Day to honor the dead.

But this year, there are two fresh graves up on Cemetery Hill, a stranger’s come to town, and the mountain’s song is filled with dark warnings.

The good people of Moon Hollow are about to learn that some secrets are too painful to bear, and some spirits are too restless to stay buried.

The Goal (Off Campus, 4) – Elle Kennedy

Il suffit d’une nuit pour que tout change. Sabrina James est en dernière année de lycée. Elle a depuis longtemps planifié son avenir : obtenir son diplôme, entrer à la fac de droit et décrocher un super-job dans un des plus grands cabinets d’avocats du pays. Elle veut aller de l’avant et oublier son passé. Quand elle croise le beau Tucker, elle n’a à lui offrir qu’une nuit, il ne peut pas faire partie de ses projets. Mais tout va se compliquer… John Tucker, la star du hockey qui ne vit que pour sa passion, va se transformer quand Sabrina lui annonce qu’elle est enceinte. Il compte bien assumer son rôle de futur papa. Mais la jeune fille est têtue et ne veut accepter aucune aide de sa part. Il va falloir toute la ténacité de Tucker pour que, petit à petit, elle lui ouvre son coeur. Saura-t-il convaincre la belle et froide Sabrina que, parfois, mener un projet à deux est plus facile ?

L’homme Craie – C.J. Tudor

Tout avait commencé quand Eddie avait 12 ans. La première fois qu’Eddie avait rencontré l’Homme craie. C’était ce dernier qui avait donné à Eddie l’idée de dessiner à la craie : un moyen de laisser des messages secrets à son groupe d’amis. Et c’était marrant au départ… jusqu’à ce qu’ils découvrent le corps d’une jeune fille… Trente ans plus tard, Eddie pense que le passé est derrière lui. Mais, lorsqu’il reçoit une lettre contenant un morceau de craie et un dessin, il comprend que l’histoire se répète… et que le jeu n’est jamais terminé.
