Infinity Son
Balancing epic and intensely personal stakes, Infinity Sonis a gritty, fast-paced adventure about two brothers caught up in a magical war generations in the making.
Growing up in New York, brothers Emil and Brighton always idolized the Spell Walkers—a vigilante group sworn to rid the world of specters. While the Spell Walkers and other celestials are born with powers, specters take them, violently stealing the essence of endangered magical creatures. Brighton wishes he had a power so he could join the fray. Emil just wants the fighting to stop. The cycle of violence has taken a toll, making it harder for anyone with a power to live peacefully and openly. In this climate of fear, a gang of specters has been growing bolder by the day. Brotherhood, love, and loyalty will be put to the test, and no one will escape the fight unscathed.

Hatchet meets Wild in this harrowing YA survival story about a teenage girl’s attempt to endure the impossible. The world is not tame. Ashley knows this truth deep in her bones, more at home with trees overhead than a roof.

And when Ashley catches her boyfriend with another girl, rage sends her running into the night, stopped only by a nasty fall into a ravine. Morning brings the realization that she’s alone—and far off trail. Lost in undisturbed forest and with nothing but the clothes on her back, Ashley must figure out how to survive with the red streak of infection creeping up her leg.
