      "An unforgettable story of trauma and healing, told in achingly beautiful prose with great tenderness and care." —#1 New York Times-bestselling author Karen M. McManus When two teens discover that they were both sexually assaulted at the same party, they develop a cautious friendship through her family’s possibly-magical pastelería, his secret forest of otherworldly trees, and the swallows returning to their hometown, in Anna-Marie McLemore's The Mirror Season... Graciela Cristales’ whole world changes after she and a boy she barely knows are assaulted at the same party. She loses her gift for making enchanted pan dulce. Neighborhood trees vanish overnight, while mirrored glass appears, bringing reckless magic with it. And Ciela is haunted by what happened to her, and what happened to the boy whose name she never learned. But when the boy, Lock, shows up at Ciela’s school, he has no memory of that night, and no clue that a single piece of mirrored glass is taking his life apart. Ciela decides to help him, which means hiding the truth about that night. Because Ciela knows who assaulted her, and him. And she knows that her survival, and his, depend on no one finding out what really happened.

      Summer, 1518. A strange sickness sweeps through Strasbourg: women dance in the streets, some until they fall down dead. As rumors of witchcraft spread, suspicion turns toward Lavinia and her family, and Lavinia may have to do the unimaginable to save herself and everyone she loves. Five centuries later, a pair of red shoes seal to Rosella Oliva’s feet, making her dance uncontrollably. They draw her toward a boy who knows the dancing fever’s history better than anyone: Emil, whose family was blamed for the fever five hundred years ago. But there’s more to what happened in 1518 than even Emil knows, and discovering the truth may decide whether Rosella survives the red shoes. With McLemore's signature lush prose, Dark and Deepest Red pairs the forbidding magic of a fairy tale with a modern story of passion and betrayal.

La bellezza del giardino, infatti, dipende direttamente dai poteri delle donne che lo custodiscono e che sono in grado di far sbocciare i fiori più belli al loro tocco. Ma il loro legame con la terra è connesso a una maledizione: se si innamorano, i loro amanti svaniscono nel nulla. Dopo generazioni di misteriose scomparse, all'improvviso nel giardino viene ritrovato uno strano ragazzo. È Estrella, una delle più giovani, a prendersi cura di lui, mentre le Nomeolvides si interrogano sul misterioso nuovo arrivato, che ricorda a malapena il proprio nome: Fel. La ricerca della verità nel passato di La Pradera e di Fel porterà Estrella a scoprire segreti tanto magici quanto pericolosi, che affondano le radici in eventi accaduti secoli prima.
