A Breaking of Realms (Realm Breaker #1)
Jasmine Young
On a continent where riders build kingdoms, she breaks them to build empires.
Realm-Building is open to all. On the continent of Elondria, anyone may become the next legendary dragon rider by building the greatest towns, cities, and even kingdoms.
Skálda Branwright dreams of leaving the Longcold and becoming the first Dragonlord to build an official realm. Only no dragon egg has ever hatched for her.
But when a hatchling falls to her from another world, begging for rescue, she must decide whether to surrender her dragon to death or become the worst criminal of all—a rogue rider.
But this is no ordinary dragon. By the time Skálda realizes what she holds in her hands, it is much too late.
Stealing this hatchling will come at a steep cost—breaking the republic she is sworn to serve... and eliminating the elf that created the rules for Realm-Building.
The same war machine that manufactures humans into riders to serve the elves.
A Queen will rise out of blood and dragonfire... and this is how it begins.
Daenaerys meets Violet Sorrengail in this clean and gritty fantasy rife with Game of Thrones-like dragons. Brutal elves, traitorous riders, and fierce "she's destined to reign on dragonback" vibes. Over 15,000 copies sold worldwide in series.

House of Roots and Ruin (Sisters of the Salt, #2)
Erin A. Craig
A modern masterpiece, this is a classic Gothic thriller-fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Erin A. Craig, about doomed love, menacing ambition, and the ghosts that haunt us forever.
In a manor by the sea, one sister is still cursed.
Despite dreams of adventures far beyond the Salann shores, seventeen-year-old Verity Thaumas has remained at her family’s estate, Highmoor, with her older sister Camille, while their sisters have scattered across Arcannia.
When their sister Mercy sends word that the Duchess of Bloem—wife of a celebrated botanist—is interested in having Verity paint a portrait of her son, Alexander, Verity jumps at the chance, but Camille won’t allow it. Forced to reveal the secret she’s kept for years, Camille tells Verity the truth one day: Verity is still seeing ghosts, she just doesn’t know it.
Stunned, Verity flees Highmoor that night and—with nowhere else to turn—makes her way to Bloem. At first, she is captivated by the lush, luxurious landscape and is quickly drawn to charming, witty, and impossibly handsome Alexander Laurent. And soon, to her surprise, a romance . . . blossoms.
But it’s not long before Verity is plagued with nightmares, and the darker side of Bloem begins to show through its sickly-sweet façade. . . .

House of Salt and Sorrows (Sisters of the Salt, #1)
Erin A. Craig
In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.
Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. Once they were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.
Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that the deaths were no accidents. Her sisters have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with?
When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next.

Rebellion (The 100, #4)
Kass Morgan
Centuries after nuclear war destroyed our planet, humanity struggles to rebuild. It’s been a month since the dropships landed and the Colonists joined the Hundred on the ground. The teens, once branded juvenile delinquents, are now leaders among their people.
The Colonists and the Earthborns are celebrating their first holiday together when, to everyone’s horror, they’re attacked by a group of strangers whose unusual battle cries fill the air. The newcomers kill scores of people, seize prisoners, and pillage crucial supplies. When hotheaded Bellamy and his analytical girlfriend Clarke discover that Wells, Octavia and Glass have been captured, they vow to get them back at all costs. But as they go after their new enemies, Bellamy and Clarke find themselves increasingly at odds, unable to agree on a plan to save their friends.
Meanwhile, Wells, Octavia, and Glass are being slowly brainwashed by their captors, religious fanatics with one goal: to grow their ranks and “heal” the war-ravaged planet… by eliminating everyone else on it.
But centuries of radiation exposure have taken their toll, forcing the cult to take drastic steps to survive. And unless the rescue party arrives soon, the teen captives will face a fate more terrifying than anything they could imagine. In this thrilling fourth installment, the hundred fight to protect the people they love on the dangerous planet they always dreamed of calling home.

====================================================
Esse livro mexe com uma pergunta difícil: será que alguém consegue, de verdade, recomeçar depois de errar feio? A história acompanha Kena tentando reconstruir a vida enquanto carrega o peso do passado — e é aí que o livro acerta.
Em vários momentos, você se pega torcendo por ela, querendo que as coisas deem certo… mas ao mesmo tempo bate aquela culpa, como se não fosse tão simples assim perdoar.
Esse conflito é o que sustenta a leitura.
Por outro lado, o romance é bem romantizado e acaba suavizando situações que, na vida real, seriam muito mais duras. Isso tira um pouco da força da história.
No fim, não é um livro sobre realidade, e sim sobre empatia: até onde a gente consegue olhar pra alguém além do pior erro que ela já cometeu? E será que uma segunda chance é algo que se merece… ou algo que se constrói?
====================================================
This book raises a difficult question: can someone truly start over after making a serious mistake?
The story follows Kenna as she tries to rebuild her life while carrying the weight of her past — and this is where the book works best. Many times, you find yourself rooting for her, wanting things to go right… but at the same time, you feel a bit guilty, like forgiveness isn’t that simple.
This inner conflict is what keeps the story engaging.
On the other hand, the romance feels very idealized and ends up softening situations that would be much harsher in real life. That takes away some of the story’s impact.
In the end, it’s not really about realism, but about empathy: how far can we go in seeing someone beyond the worst thing they’ve ever done? And is a second chance something you deserve… or something you build?
