New Books on the Shelf
The Cruel Prince is Holly Black's first book in her new series, The Folk of the Air. The story centers around 17 year old Jude who was stolen away when she was only ten to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. After her parents were murdered, she and her two sisters want nothing to do with the fey who despise humans. Jude must win a place at the court to protect her sisters. In doing so, she must defy Prince Cardan, the youngest and most wicked son of the High King. She hates Cardan so much that sometimes when she looks at him, she can hardly breathe. This dark tale of Faerie will be shelved in Teen Sci-Fan.
Everless is Sara Holland's dazzling debut novel. In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency. This currency is extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries. No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever. Caught in a tangle of violent secrets, Jules finds her heart torn between two people she thought she'd never see again. Her decisions have the power to change her fate and the fate of time itself. This exciting book will also be shelved in Teen Sci-Fan.
