Excerpt from
BEEN HERE ALL
ALONG
I hold his gaze for a beat too long and can’t deny the
fact that I kind of feel like kissing him.
He’s just so Kyle—earnest and sensitive and kind.
I bite my bottom lip, but I don’t look away. I have to
close my eyes for a second, though, because it’s all
too much. I don’t understand what’s happening.
I open my eyes and his gaze is locked on mine, like
he had taken the opportunity to observe me while
my eyes were closed.
“Have I ever told you that I think you look like Elijah
Wood?”
I laugh in surprise and glance away. “You have definitely never mentioned that.”
We make eye contact again and he still looks a little sad, like his eyes are sort of wet, but he’s also smiling. He surveys my face, and more than
anything I want to know what he’s thinking. I want to know what would happen if I leaned in and put my lips gently on his. Of course, my whole body
chooses that moment to betray me and I actually do lean in a little.
He blushes. His jaw drops and his eyes trail away.
But I recover by making a big production of pulling my phone out of my pocket. There’s a pretty good chance that was the slickest thing I’ve ever
done. Because for a second there, it looked like I was trying to kiss him.

Jenny Moyer is a debut young adult author. The
hot, dusty landscape of Flashfall was inspired
by her childhood spent in Arizona, and her
protagonist Orion was inspired by her first time
flying a plane—and realizing that her survival
rested entirely on her shoulders. Jenny has lived
all over the United States, but she currently
lives in Des Moines, Iowa, with her husband
and three sons.
EXCERPT
FROM
FLASHFALL
297.84 grams Cirium
Caves make good hiding places. But this close
to the flashfall, they also make the most likely
places to die. The creatures dwelling in the
deep caverns are rabid by-products of the flash
curtain, altered by radioactive particles. And
they’re starving.
Which makes them almost as desperate as us.
My boots scrape the cavern ledge and a red
marker illuminates at my feet. Danger. Do not
cross. Behind me, Dram shifts, and in the soft
jangle of climbing harness and anchors, I sense
the questions he’s not saying aloud.
My mother once told me I have magic. She didn’t say the words aloud, nothing as dangerous as that. The day she guided me down my first tunnel,
she simply pressed my hand to the cavern wall, and I knew.
I have magic in a place where it is outlawed.
My father would call it something different—bio-adaptability. That’s really what we Subpars are, adapted to the curtain’s fallout, and resistant to its
elements in ways that Naturals aren’t.
But he doesn’t know what I feel when I’m down here.
I tip forward and musty air caresses my face like the breath of a ghost.

novel. She resides in Ireland.
Excerpt from
FLAWED
I am a girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white.
Remember this.
Never trust a man who sits, uninvited, at the head of
the table in another man’s home.
Not my words. They were the words of my granddad,
Cornelius, who, as a result of saying them, landed
himself the farthest away from this table, and he won’t
be welcome back anytime soon. It’s not necessarily
what he said that was the problem; it was the person
he said it about: Judge Crevan, one of the most powerful men in the country, who is once again, despite my
granddad’s comment last year, sitting at the head of
our dining table for our annual Earth Day gathering.
Dad returned from the kitchen with a fresh bottle of red
wine to find his usual place taken. I could see he was put
out by it, but as it was Judge Crevan, Dad merely stalled in his tracks, jiggled the wine opener in his hand a bit while thinking about what to do, then
worked his way around the table to sit beside Mom at the other end, where Judge Crevan should have sat.

Excerpt from
heartless
She was going to faint.
A shadow reared up in front of her, backlit from
the blazing castle lights so that the silhouette
stretched over the croquet lawns. Catherine
cried out and stumbled to a halt, damp hair
matted to her neck.
The shadow of a hooded man engulfed her.
As Catherine stared, the silhouette lifted an
enormous ax, the curved blade arching across
the grass.
Trembling, Catherine spun around. A dark
shape dropped toward her out of the sky. She
screamed and threw her arms up in defense.
The raven cawed, so close she could feel his
wing beats as he flew past.
“Are you all right?”
She gasped and withdrew her arms. Her heart was thundering as she peered up into the boughs of a white rose tree.
It took a moment to find him in the dark. The joker was lounging on a low-hanging branch, a silver flute in his hands, though if he’d been playing it
before, she’d been too distracted to notice.
Her lashes fluttered. Half of her hair had fallen from its chignon and draped over her shoulder. Her skin was burning hot. The world was spinning
wildly—swirling with lemon tarts and invisible cats and curved axes and . . .
The joker tensed, his brow creasing. “My lady?”
The world tilted severely and turned black.

Excerpt from
THE KISS OF
DECEPTION
Today was the day a thousand dreams would
die and a single dream would be born.
The wind knew. It was the first of June, but
cold gusts bit at the hilltop citadelle as fiercely
as deepest winter, shaking the windows with
curses and winding through drafty halls with
warning whispers. There was no escaping what
was to come.
For good or bad, the hours were closing in. I
closed my eyes against the thought, knowing
that soon the day would cleave in two, forever
creating the before and after of my life, and it would happen in one swift act that I could no more alter than the color of my eyes.
I pushed away from the window, fogged with my own breath, and left the endless hills of Morrighan to their own worries. It was time for me to meet
my day.
The prescribed liturgies passed as they were ordained, the rituals and rites as each had been precisely laid out, all a testament to the greatness of
Morrighan and the Remnant from which it was born. I didn’t protest. By this point, numbness had overtaken me, but then midday approached, and my
heart galloped again as I faced the last of the steps that kept here from there.

Excerpt from
THE LOVELY
RECKLESS
Marco Leone walks in and my heart slams against
my chest.
What’s he doing here?
“Hey, Sopaipilla, how was school?” His gentle
tone sounds unrecognizable—it’s not the one that
belonged to the fierce fighter in the quad or the
cocky guy in the school office. He lifts Sofia’s backpack off her shoulder. He must be her older brother.
“It was good,” she says. “And this afternoon, I taught
Frankie about engine blocks.”
The side of his mouth tips up. “Who’s Frankie? A boy
at school?”
I bite my lip, and my throat turns to sandpaper.
Sofia laughs and wheels her brother around. “No, silly.”
Our eyes meet, and his go wide. It’s the third time I’ve seen him up close—at least when I wasn’t terrified—and he gets better-looking every time.
I give him a tiny wave. “Hi.”
Sofia seems to sense the awkwardness between us. “Do you know each other?” She frowns and puts a hand on her hip. “Marco, you didn’t . . .”
“No, it’s nothing like that.” He rubs his hands over his face.
My cheeks heat up when I realize she thinks we hooked up . . . or something.
Sofia turns to me. “But you guys do know each other, right?”
“No,” I say at the same time Marco says, “Yes.”
I shrug. “Sort of.”
“Are you positive you didn’t mess around with her?” Sofia whispers to her brother a little too loudly.
Now my cheeks are on fire.
Marco flashes me a dangerous smile. “I’m pretty sure I’d remember.”

Excerpt from
MORTAL
DANGER
He had the kind of face you saw in magazines,
sculpted and airbrushed to perfection. Sharp
cheekbones eased into a strong jaw and a
kissable mouth. His chin was just firm enough.
He had a long, aquiline nose and jade eyes
with a feline slant. His face was . . . haunting,
unsettling, even. His layered mop of dark hair
gained coppery streaks in the halo of passing
headlights that limned us both. In a minute or
two, somebody would see us. Though traffic
was light, it wasn’t nonexistent, and eventually
some concerned motorist would pull over or
make a call. I saw my window of opportunity
narrowing.
“What?” I managed to get the word out without stammering.
“You don’t have to do this. There are other options.”
His direct, gold-sparked gaze made me feel that would be a waste of time. Part of me thought I might have already jumped, and he was my afterlife.
Or maybe I was on a ventilator after they fished me out of the river, which made this a coma dream. I’d read studies where doctors posited that
people experienced incredibly vivid dreamscapes during catatonia.
“Yeah? Like what?”
I figured he’d mention therapy. Group sessions. Medication. Anything to get my butt off this bridge. Right then, only the strength of his biceps kept me
from flinging myself backward. Well, that . . . and curiosity.
“You can let me help you.”

the futuristic fantasy Nemesis, the first in a
two-book series. She lives in Crestview, on the
Florida Panhandle, with her husband and their
daughter.
Excerpt from
NEMESIS
The Falcon King is entirely too collected for my
liking. And far too handsome for my comfort.
The black paint circling his eyes does make
him look fierce and intimidating, but under his
scrutiny—when I dare to meet his eyes—he has
a kindness that reflects back at me. A kindness
that one does not expect of a Falcon King.
Especially after all the horrid things my father
said about his father. I would be wise, I decide,
not to underestimate this new heir of Theoria.
After all, my father could not have conjured
up ideas from nothing, and if the Falcon King
was groomed for kingship by the Warrior King,
surely he will rule with the unjust, outlandish
methods my father—and my tutor Aldon—
always spoke of.
It’s difficult though too, to feel gratitude toward a man—or is he truly a boy, like they say?—who keeps a harem as he keeps a stable full of horses or a
field full of grazing cows. Though truth told, while they are there for his convenience, his harem seems to garner no attention from him.

Excerpt from
THE SECRETS
WE KEEP
My phone vibrated on my nightstand, jarring
me from the sketchbook I had open on my
lap. I’d re-created the same drawing five times
in the past week, and yet it still wasn’t good
enough. Problem was, if I didn’t figure it out by
midnight tomorrow, I’d be out of time.
Assuming it was Josh again, I let it go to voice
mail, more concerned with perfecting the
sketch than bickering with him over something
his neighbor and sometime-girlfriend, Kim, had
said. I wasn’t interested in dissecting why she
was offended that Josh chose to let me drive
him to school every day, even though she lived
less than a hundred yards from him and he had
a car of his own. That was his problem, not
mine. And if he couldn’t figure that one out on his own, then he was an idiot.
I tossed my charcoal pencil down in favor of graphite. Perhaps it was the reflection of light in my picture that was off. After a few strokes, I realized it
wasn’t—all I’d done was take a relatively decent drawing and make it worse.

excerpt from
SIX OF CROWS
Joost had two problems: the moon and his
mustache.
He was supposed to be making his rounds at
the Hoede house, but for the last fifteen minutes, he’d been hovering around the southeast
wall of the gardens, trying to think of something clever and romantic to say to Anya.
If only Anya’s eyes were blue like the sea or
green like an emerald. Instead, her eyes were
brown—lovely, dreamy . . . melted chocolate
brown? Rabbit fur brown?
“Just tell her she’s got skin like moonlight,” his
friend Pieter had said. “Girls love that.”
A perfect solution, but the Ketterdam weather was not cooperating. There’d been no breeze off the harbor that day, and a gray milk fog had wreathed
the city’s canals and crooked alleys in damp. Even here among the mansions of the Geldstraat, the air hung thick with the smell of fish and bilge
water, and smoke from the refineries on the city’s outer islands had smeared the night sky in a briny haze. The full moon looked less like a jewel than a
yellowy blister in need of lancing.
Maybe he could compliment Anya’s laugh? Except he’d never heard her laugh. He wasn’t very good with jokes.

Excerpt from
THE SQUARE
ROOT OF
SUMMER
Out on the grass, Jason’s still lounging among the
daisies. He’s obviously found a new hobby at college—
there’s a cigarette half–smoked in his hand, which he
lifts in a half wave, half smiling.
“Grots,” he says, not quite meeting my eye.
That’s Ned’s nickname for me, I think. You used to
call me Margot.
I want to say hello, I want to say so much more than
that, but the words vanish before they reach my
mouth. The way we left things, there’s still so much unsaid between us. My feet grow roots while I wait for him to stand up. To talk to me.
To mend me.
In my pocket, my phone weighs heavy, untexted. He never told me he was back.
Jason looks away, and sucks on his cigarette.
After a pause, Ned claps his hands together. “Well,” he says brightly. “Let’s get you two chatterboxes inside. There’s meatballs to fry.”
He struts off to the house, Jason and me walking silently behind. When I reach the back door, I’m about to follow them into the kitchen, but something
stops me. Like when you think you hear your name, and your soul snags on a nail. I linger on the doorstep, looking back at the garden. At the apple
tree, with its laundry blossoms.
Behind us, the evening light is condensing, the air thick with mosquitoes and honeysuckle. I shiver. We’re on the cusp of summer, but I have the sense
of an ending, not a beginning.
But perhaps it’s that Grey is dead. It still feels like the moon fell out of the sky.

Excerpt from
THE WINNER’S
CURSE
She shouldn’t have been tempted.
This is what Kestrel thought as she swept the
sailors’ silver off the impromptu gaming table
set up in a corner of the market.
“Don’t go,” said one sailor.
“Stay,” said another, but Kestrel cinched her
wrist-strap velvet purse shut. The sun had lowered, and caramelized the color of things, which
meant that she had played cards long enough
to be noticed by someone who mattered.
Someone who would tell her father.
Cards wasn’t even her favorite game. The silver wouldn’t begin to pay for her silk dress, snagged from the splintery crate she had used as a stool. But
sailors were much better adversaries than the average aristocrat. They flipped cards with feral tricks, swore when they lost, swore when they won,
would gouge the last silver keystone coin out of a friend. And they cheated. Kestrel especially liked it when they cheated. It made beating them not
quite so easy.
She smiled and left them. Then her smile faded. This hour of thrilling risk was going to cost her. It wasn’t the gambling that would infuriate her father,
or the company she had kept. No, General Trajan was going to want to know why his daughter was in the city market alone.
