Titolo: The Crowns of CroswaldAutore: D.E. Night
Trama:
In Croswald, the only thing more powerful than dark magic is one secret…
For
sixteen years Ivy Lovely has been hidden behind an enchanted boundary
that separates the mundane from the magical. When Ivy crosses the
border, her powers awaken. Curiosity leads her crashing through a series
of adventures at the Halls of Ivy, a school where students learn to
master their magical blood and the power of Croswald’s mysterious gems.
When Ivy’s magic––and her life––is threatened by the Dark Queen, she
scrambles to unearth her history and save Croswald before the truth is
swept away forever.
Titolo: Asper
Autore: Rhonda Smiley
Trama:
16-year-old sorceress, Milla, loses everything in an instant—her father, her home, her life as she knows it—over a sacred scroll that can merge Asper with Earth.
Ignited
by grief, she sets out for vengeance, but discovers she’s no match for
the murderous queen who seeks to rule both worlds.
Determined,
Milla flees through a portal to Earth where she can master her craft
without being hunted, and return for the kill. While there, she bonds
with 17-year-old Parker who, despite his conniving ex-girlfriend,
believes in her.
But when a spell her father cast to bury her
memories begins to wane, glimpses of a past she never knew start
surfacing. A past so unthinkable, it derails her future.
Should she still do what she set out to? Or risk everything—Earth, Asper, Parker—for the sake of hope?

Titolo: Toil and Trouble
Autore: Jessica Spotswood
Trama:
Scorn the witch. Fear the witch. Burn the witch.
History is filled with stories of women accused of witchcraft, of fearsome girls with arcane knowledge. Toil & Trouble features sixteen stories of girls embracing their power, reclaiming their destinies and using their magic to create, to curse, to cure—and to kill.
A young witch uses social media to connect with her astrology clients—and with a NASA-loving girl as cute as she is skeptical. A priestess of death investigates a ritualized murder. A bruja who cures lovesickness might need the remedy herself when she falls in love with an altar boy. A theater production is turned upside down by a visiting churel. In Reconstruction-era Texas, a water witch uses her magic to survive the soldiers who have invaded her desert oasis. And in the near future, a group of girls accused of witchcraft must find their collective power in order to destroy their captors.
