BOOKS BY JACKS
of Crown & light
Edie Grey is weird and she knows it. What she doesn’t know — yet — is that strangeness is the heartbeat of magic. Or that her family, her best friend, and her cat are all keeping secrets from her that could change everything. Hers is a story of loss and becoming, of hope that takes teeth, of claiming identity, and of learning how to dance between darkness and light until the room spins.
pitched as Shadow & Bone × ‘Anti-Hero’ by patron saint of weirdos, Taylor Swift.
kept you like an oath
When Maren James burns her life to the ground, she does what any reasonable woman would do: reinvents herself by escaping to a prestigious English university. Unfortunately, reinvention is harder when your past, or the infuriatingly brilliant man standing in your way, are the two things she can’t outrun. Enemies-to-lovers dark academia rom-com about ambition, identity, and falling in love while solving puzzles.
pitched as Maxton Hall × Serendipity × National Treasure
this is a sad story
A standalone dystopian romantasy, which meditates on the inevitability of ill-fated love, the ache of erased heritage, the brokenness of tyranny and the terrible, infiltrating beauty of finding something worth losing in a world where the most precious things aren’t meant to last, only to matter. Explore the lost world of the Mages with Este and West, but reader be warned, the title is self-explanatory.
