  “A folktale, a whisper, and a dream all at once.”—Rory Power, author of Wilder Girls 
   
  “If you love Kelly Link, Angela Carter, and Carmen Maria Machado, then Natalia Theodoridou is your new favorite author.”—Benjamin Percy, author of The Ninth Metal 
   
  A stunning reimagining of Bluebeard—one of the most mythologized serial killers—twisted into a modern tale of toxic masculinity, a feminist sermon, and a folktale for the twenty-first century. 
   
  The tale begins with Agnes. After losing her baby, Agnes is called to the great manor house to nurse the local lord’s baby boy. But something is wrong with the child: his nails grow too fast, his skin smells of soil, and his eyes remind her of the dark forest. As he grows into a boy, then into man, a plague seems to follow him everywhere. Trees wither at the roots, fruits rot on their branches, and the town turns against him. The man takes a wife, who bears him a son. But tragedy strikes in cycles and his family is forced to consider their own malignancy—until wife after wife, death after death, plague after plague, every woman he touches becomes a ghost. The ghosts become a chorus, and they call urgently to our narrator as she tries to explain, in our very real world, exactly what has happened to her. The ghosts can all agree on one thing, an inescapable truth about this man, this powerful lord who has loved them and led them each to ruin: If you leave, you die. But if you die, you stay. 
   
  Natalia Theodoridou’s haunting and unforgettable debut novel, Sour Cherry, confronts age-old systems of gender and power, long-held excuses made for bad men, and the complicated reasons we stay captive to the monsters we love.

  She’s the beauty and the brains…He's just Fitz. 
  Miss Caroline Quick is desperate to escape London for the freedom of the wilds and her career as a naturalist—but she must get her widowed mother married before she can go. It’s a simple enough idea; track down Mama’s first love and engineer a meeting…with the help of the gentleman’s alarmingly charming son. 
  The bored, scapegrace younger son of a disapproving Earl, Fitzwilliam Drake is no stranger to madcap schemes, but the proposition put to him by the delectable Caroline is the wildest he’s ever heard. Of course, trapping his father into marriage is better than tumbling into the pit himself, but Fitz will need to exercise caution around Caroline, who is too tempting by half. Unfortunately, Fitz has never been the cautious type… 
  From “surprise” encounters in the park to scandalous country house parties, Caroline’s plans quickly spin out of control. But Fitz is there to help…and to drive her to distraction with his irresistible kisses and strong embraces. Because Fitz may not be a genius, but he’s smart enough to see that with a woman like Caroline, matrimony is no trap—it’s the start of the grandest adventure of them all.

  Veronica arrives with her class in the spellcraft tower of the Oakhurst School of Magic to teach the bunch of young--and not particularly well-behaved--teenagers about the school's ancient spellbook. But the book has gone missing from the cabinet!  
  Only a few people have the key to the tower, and very soon, the town's mayor will need the book to bless the start of the new council year.  
  Who has stolen the book?  
  Is it Barnaby the caretaker, and has he sold it on the black market?  
  Is it Jasper Bloom, a fellow teacher, and did he want to find a love spell?  
  Is it the cranky teacher Mr. Stone, who hates the mayor and would gladly make the council's life difficult?  
  And what can Veronica do if the truth potion she gives these people only complicates matters, backfires spectacularly and makes them say outrageous and embarrassing things?
