New YA Books
Lots of new YA books this week!
Far away on Wilde island lives a princess born with a dragon claw. No one, save her mother, the queen, knows her terrible secret. And the queen has forced her to wear gloves at all times until a cure can be found. Rosalind is a princess, so she must be perfect -how else can she fulfill Merlin's six-hundred-year-old prophecy that will restore her banished royal family to its rightful throne?
Tally thought they were a rumor, but now she's one of them. A Special. A superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. But maybe being perfectly programmed with strength and focus isn't better than anything she's ever known. Tally still has memories of something else.
These are a few.
