Soria, Destiny
2 Reviews
(2)
YA
In a city ruled by despotic elders who can see the future, four teens are condemned for breaking into the citadel. During an attempted escape, they meet their would-be executioner--who wants their help. Soria plays around with themes of prophecy, memory manipulation, and unstable trust, keeping readers off-balance with revelations of betrayal. The protagonists are bold and distinct, with welcome diversity regarding body shape and sexuality.

YA
In the underworld of 1919 Boston, best friends Ada and Corinne are entertainers, reluctant con artists, and "hemopaths," persecuted for their abilities to manipulate emotions and create illusions. When their refuge comes under attack and Ada must be rescued from a sinister hemopath asylum, the conspiracies the pair uncovers hit close to home. Devastating twists, luminous friendships, and stellar world-building mark this page-turning debut.
