Inspired by true events— a thoughtful, timely, and emotionally compelling story about coming of age, coming out, and coming into your own… So much of who I was had to be hidden. I wondered how it would feel to let that part of me be on full display. Maybe I’ d be given the chance to feel. To forget. Or even to breathe… For most sixteen year olds, life is all about friends, fun, and family. But for Matt Franco, it's different. Because Matt and his family are undocumented immigrants— like many other Brazilian emigres in his town. And that means he can't get a job, he can't get a driver's license, and as for college? Get real. But Matt is also carrying a burden much closer to his own heart. Matt is gay. And right now, he’ s the only one who knows it. But that changes when handsome, kind-eyed, and charming transfer student James Alberte walks into class. Because James isn’ t just some queer teen crush. He’ s everything Matt could ask for— and it’ s James’ love, strength, and support that helps Matt finally come out to the world. Unfortunately, love doesn’ t necessarily make Matt’ s situation any easier. He’ s still stranded by his immigrant status, with a future that seems headed for a dead end. And if he’ s ever going to be happy, Matt will have to decide what he wants, where he’ s headed— and who he is at heart. It won’ t be simple. And it certainly won’ t be easy. But when it comes to life, love, and everything in between, what is? The author of The Whispers of the Fallen and Henderbell series offers a moving, heartfelt story perfect for fans of Adam Silvera’ s More Happy Than Not.

Gods and Mortals

The secrets of Bellwound’s lineage and lifelong love have led him away from a once quiet life and into the Dark Beyond, the realm where Lucifer and his Fallen Stars were imprisoned. The once sacred land has turned into a luscious prison, riddled with mystery, guarded by the judged goddess Romiria. The arrival of Lucifer’s son disrupts an ancient order, stirring chaos in this doomed paradise. While the Dark Beyond is shaken by Bellwound’s presence, Lucifer and his servants plot against mortals and the Creator with an army of Shadows. Bringing with him a chance for vengeance, the seed of darkness also finds his way back to the place where the universe began. Oriah has returned to his kind, siding with Loghleen in the war to come. Under Lucifer’s promise of freedom from an ancient curse, the two are crowned rulers over Nephilins. But no heart is ever truly pure in this war between makers and subjects. Death is an uninvited guest in this chaos, dooming holy and unholy beings to fight in the world of the living. The secret romance between Lucifer and Hanell the Creator was just the beginning.

Immortal Crowns

Five thousand years ago, when mortals were a mere thought in the mind of their creator, Lucifer was cast out of the immortal realm of Valleyner, doomed to spend his days in the Dark Beyond. After Hanell the Creator, known as the Pale Lion, fashioned the mortal world of Thelsten, a secret concealed from mortals brought on grave consequences. In the remote village of Heedeon, Bellwound Throvar and Arnon Helvug are visited by immortals from both shadow and light. A weapon known as the Mezar is found, believed to house the Luciferian Epistle written before he, the Dove, suffered judgement by the Regents—gods of ultimate power and parents to Hanell the Creator. The two boys set out on a journey with a member of the Nephilim, hoping to find answers to their mysterious past. But secrets and lies do not ask for the right time to strike. A dark tale spreads: whispers that the Dove was expelled by the Pale Lion not because of rebellion, but because of their love for one another. While struggling to confess his true feelings for Arnon, Bellwound realizes that love won't be enough to save them from their own doom—not when it's caused by love itself. As they travel across forests, deserts, and seas, they discover that the ploy of the gods will not only change their own world but will also claim lives, crowns, and kingdoms...
