In a world bound by violence, a teen descended from the god of Death must keep their true identity a secret as they fight their way through a gladiator-style competition towards victory and rebellion against the gods who murdered their family. Years ago, the descendants of the god of Death were murdered. The few that remain are in hiding, including Crow, a teen who survived the genocide and hides their magic to stay alive. After fleeing their village, Crow now lives with their uncles in the lowest part of the city: the Shallows. Life in the Shallows is tough, but Crow’s even tougher. Hiding their magic has made Crow resourceful, cunning, and unbeatable—which comes in handy as a fighter in the city's lucrative underground fighting ring. Then, Crow's uncles are arrested for harboring Deathchildren. With fists tightly clenched, Crow vows to set their uncles free. But to do that, they’re going to need to enter a world that threatens Crow’s very existence. Carefully navigating the politics of the wealthy and powerful, they enter the Tournament of the Gods—a gladiator-style competition where the winner is granted a favor. As they battle their way towards the winner’s circle, Crow plans to ask the gods for their uncles’ freedom as their reward. But in a city of gods and magic, you don’t ask for what you want. You take it. Action. Adventure. Romance.

These Vengeful Gods by Gabe Cole Novoa (Queer YA Fantasy) In a world bound by violence, a teen descended from the god of Death must keep their true identity a secret as they fight their way through a gladiator-style competition towards victory and rebellion against the gods who murdered their family. The Broposal by Sonora Reyes (Gay NA Romance) A queer romance about lifelong best friends entering a marriage of convenience to avoid the looming shadow of deportation. I really enjoyed this book! It’s got depth, sweetness, drama, & spice. Heat and Run by Adriana Herrera (Sapphic Romance Novella) Heat and Run is a steamy sapphic omegaverse novella where insatiable lust meets the magic of the holiday season. Omega Melina thought she’d spend the chaos of her 1st heat cycle on an Tribarian island retreat, until she crashes, literally, into the mountain lodge of an irresistible alpha the broody & mysterious Dhanyaris. The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar (Queer Romantasy Novella) Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death. Loving Safoa by Liza Wemakor (Sapphic Paranormal Romance) When schoolteacher Cynthia gets a tattoo at a block party in 1991 Flatbush, she doesn’t realize she’s embarking on a life-changing romance w/ an immortal Ghanaian vampire. This tale spans time & defies the utopian/dystopian binary. The Ballad of Jacquotte Delahaye by Briony Cameron (Sapphic Historical Fiction) In the tumultuous town of Yáquimo, Jacquotte Delahaye is a shipwright, but her ambitions are bound by the confines of her self-seeking father. When her way of life is threatened, she is forced to flee her home & become a pirate w/ a motley crew of refugees, including the mysterious Teresa.
