Olivia A. Cole Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

This searing novel in verse follows a sixteen-year-old girl navigating the aftermath of sexual abuse as she seeks to reclaim her story, her anger, and her body in a world that punishes her for surviving. More than just a tale of sexual violence, it delves into themes of race, sexuality, love, and the transformative power of anger. Sixteen-year-old Alicia Rivers is burdened by a reputation fueled by whispers at school that label her as promiscuous. However, the truth is far more painful: she was sexually abused by a popular teacher, a trauma that has reshaped her identity. To her peers, she is not a victim but the monster of her own narrative—the "slut" who supposedly asked for it. Abandoned by her best friend and having quit the track team, Alicia spends her days in detention, feeling isolated and invisible. Mysterious letters in her locker suggest another victim, prompting her to confront the walls she has built around her trauma. At the same time, her growing feelings for a new girl challenge her understanding of those barriers. This fierce feminist narrative paints a haunting portrait of a young woman discovering the strength of her voice, courage, and rage.

"An unflinching story about Shania, a white girl who, after moving to a gentrifying city, reckons with her role in racism there, the historical and present day effects of white supremacy, and the danger in silence"--

Enter the vivid and cinematic world of Faloiv in the first book of this dazzling YA sci-fi/fantasy series, perfect for fans of Carve the Mark, Red Rising, and These Broken Stars. Octavia has always dreamed of becoming a whitecoat, one of the prestigious N’Terra scientists who study the natural wonders of Faloiv. So when the once-secretive labs are suddenly opened to students, she leaps at the chance to see what happens behind their closed doors. However, she quickly discovers that all is not what it seems on Faloiv, and the experiments the whitecoats have been doing run the risk of upsetting the humans’ fragile peace with the Faloii, Faloiv’s indigenous people. As secret after disturbing secret comes to light, Octavia finds herself on a collision course with the charismatic and extremist new leader of N’Terra’s ruling council. But by uncovering the mysteries behind the history she’s been taught, the science she’s lived by, and the truth about her family, she threatens to be the catalyst for an all-out war.

In a universe of capricious gods, dark moons, and kingdoms built on the backs of spaceships, a cursed queen sends her infant daughter away, a jealous uncle steals the throne of Kali from his nephew, and an exiled prince vows to take his crown back. Raised alone and far away from her home on Kali, Esmae longs to return to her family. When the King of Wychstar offers to gift the unbeatable, sentient warship Titania to a warrior that can win his competition, she sees her way home: she’ll enter the competition, reveal her true identity to the world, and help her famous brother win back the crown of Kali. It’s a great plan. Until it falls apart. Inspired by the Mahabharata and other ancient Indian stories, A Spark of White Fire is a lush, sweeping space opera about family, curses, and the endless battle between jealousy and love.
