Recipe for Magic by Agatha Bird

muttered, patting his windblown hair. “You’re Roth’s boy, aren’t you?”
    “And that’s Gwenneth’s son, the skinny one there.”
    “Ah. Now it makes perfect sense.”
    Connor and Landyn raised an eyebrow at each other. It did?
    “How long will the soup take?” asked Archmage Yzri, rubbing his large belly through his white robes. “You’ve no idea how famished we get after overseeing the Trial all day.”
    “Coming right up,” Connor said. “Landyn?”
    Landyn grinned at him. “Ready when you are. You know,” he whispered to Connor, “when this is done, we should visit the practice room.”
    “Why? It’s over! We don’t have to practice anymore.”
    Landyn gave him a look that was hotter than anything Connor could conjure. “Then how should we make use of our private room?”
    Connor’s face heated in response. “You call me the barbarian. How am I going to concentrate with that kind of distraction?”
    Landyn hummed as their fingers brushed when he reached across Connor to grab the pot. “Don’t ask me. You’re the expert on distractions. I’m expecting you to be a very thorough instructor.” Landyn paused and said, very quietly, “Me too, you know. I’m with you.” Then he looked up at Connor, blue light dancing in his eyes, and smiled.
    Great things , Connor thought, his heart full of magic.

About the Author
    A GATHA B IRD grew up in sunny, swampy Florida where she still lives with two ridiculously named cats. She told fibs when she was a kid, but now she tells stories. (Plus storyteller sounds way better than professional liar.) She subsists on a steady diet of sunflower seeds, tea, books, and terrible puns. Libraries are her natural habitat, and she reaches her full power once a year on Halloween. She believes in wereyorkies, the full moon, and true romance. She loves monsters, magic, bad guys, and happy endings, preferably all in one story. She thinks frog princes are totally overdone, so she stares a little too longingly at alligators. One has yet to stare longingly back.

Key of Behliseth

    By Lou Hoffman
     
     
    On his way to meet a fate he’d rather avoid, homeless gay teen Lucky steps through a wizard’s door and is caught up in a whirlwind quest and an ancient war. He tries to convince himself that his involvement with sword fights, magic, and interworld travel is a fluke, and that ice-breathing dragons and fire-breathing eagles don’t really exist. But with each passing hour, he remembers more about who he is and where he’s from, and with help, he begins to claim his power.
    Lucky might someday rule a nation, but before he can do that, he must remember his true name, accept his destiny, and master his extraordinary abilities. Only then can he help to banish the evil that has invaded Earth and find his way home—through a gateway to another world.

The Supernaturals

    By Gene Gant
     
     
    Draven, a fledgling monster, faces an impossible choice just three days before his fifteenth birthday. If he doesn’t make his first human kill and release the beast within him, his father will kill his mortal mother. But Draven doesn’t want to become a sadistic, ruthless fiend like his father.
    Help arrives in the form of Ahmad, a powerful 1500-year-old djinn whose soul is trapped in a brass ring, and handsome Inky, who is also much older than he seems. In turn, they introduce Draven to the eerie, mysterious Mina, who has information they need to rescue Draven’s mother. But their quest to free her is not without obstacles. Draven falls head over heels in love with Inky, only to discover how deadly this can be. And Ahmad’s ring falls into the hands of an enemy who won’t hesitate to use Ahmad against his friends.
