The hometown legend / by Yates, Maisey,author.;
"Rory Sullivan has always grown up in her sisters' shadows. But this summer, she's determined to make some changes. Rekindling her teenage friendship with Pyrite Falls's prodigal son, Gideon Payne, feels like a good start. She can instantly see he's in pain, but she's sick of being afraid of life and she refuses to be intimidated by him. But is she brave enough to act on her attraction to Gideon's raw physicality? Decorated army hero Gideon's return has sent the local community into parade-planning overdrive. Except Gideon isn't the all-around golden boy who left. His life imploded in the same explosion that caused his honorable discharge from the army -- he lost his career, his marriage and he damn near lost himself. Gideon knows Rory is far too innocent for someone as damaged as him. But the scorching hunger between them is irresistible ... All he can offer is something temporary, unless Rory can make Gideon see he's capable of giving her everything she needs..."--Back cover.

Warrior of Legend / by Blake, Kendare,author.;
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake returns to the world of the Aristene in this epic fantasy novel as a young member of the order faces down old loves and old foes. A must-read for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Shelby Mahurin. The cost was steep, but Reed is officially an Aristene. And not just any Aristene, but a Glorious Death, guiding only those heroes whose glory costs them their lives. It is a heavy burden, but to forget the prince she left behind, Reed throws herself into it, harvesting heroes at what some say is a reckless pace. So when Lyonene is summoned to guide a princess to a glorious marriage, Reed sees an opportunity-a hero who isn't fated to die-and they secretly arrange for Reed to go in her place. But instead of an easy mission, she arrives to find chaos: an old enemy is rising to threaten the Aristene, and one of the princess's suitors is Hestion, whom Reed still loves, and who may yet love her. Reed has already given everything to the order. As oaths are broken and lives are lost, what more must she give to save her sisters, and herself?014+.Grades 10-12.

As a rare Andarion Fyreblood, she is sworn to end the existence of any royal she finds. But when Dagger saves her son's life, she is torn between her people and a debt that can never be repaid. Yet worse than Dagger's family that's still out to end hers, are the League assassins after him who will stop at nothing to claim the lives of her Tavali family.
