SUMMARY
Long ago, dragons were hunted to near
extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers.
Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon
have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world
with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

sleeping pill, she discovers there is something off about Forge. In fact,
she suspects that there are sinister things going on deep below the
reaches of the cameras in the school. What's worse is, she starts

SUMMARY
Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl—a
suffragist—in an age that prefers its girls to be docile. It’s 1900 in Oregon,
and Olivia’s father, concerned that she’s headed for trouble, convinces a stage
mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. But the hypnotist, an
intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead:
she’s able to see people’s true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and
goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud. These
supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and
so she’s drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his
mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women.
Winters breathes new life into history once again with an atmospheric, vividly
real story, including archival photos and art from the period throughout.
