"Move over, Percy Jackson, there’s a new girl in town." —Booklist Freya is the myth. Freya is the legend. And she’s about to make one hell of a comeback. There's far more to Sara Vanadi than meets the eye. In her prime, she was Freya, the Norse goddess of love, beauty, war, and death - though that past hardly seems to matter now. For an ancient goddess in the 21st century, true believers - and the strength they bring - are painfully hard to find. But when a new, rising power threatens to remake the world by bending the divine to its will, Sara realizes her days of hiding have ended, and a chance to claw her way out of the history books has arrived. She'll just need new clothes and a manicure before she gets started. Blending elements of fantasy and scifi in a modern-world setting, the first novel in this new young adult series by Matthew Laurence is perfect for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. An Imprint Book

Well behaved women rarely make history. But they still end up as the monsters in folklore. Bounty hunter Faline Frey is huldra-a powerful folkloric woman, able to grow branches and cover her body in defensive bark. She's not the only one. All throughout the United States live secret sects of folkloric women, each group created with unique gifts from their Goddess. They are called Wild Women. And they spend their days living among humans. Repressing abilities they were born with, the very attributes the Hunters deem evil. The Hunters say they're protecting the folkloric women. Their organization of supernatural men claim to have been given strength and authority by God to save the Wild Women from themselves. To Faline, their constant scrutiny feels more like oppression. But when her sister goes missing, Faline needs more than her bounty hunter skills to find her sibling. She must leave the protection of huldra territory and rely on the inner Wild she's been taught to shun. To find her sister, Faline must unearth parts of herself to follow the twisted trail of Hunter propaganda and missing Wild Women. But the Hunters have a longer reach than she imagined, and their organization is determined to prevent the folkloric groups from joining arms to get their sisters and mothers back. Faline's efforts have placed her squarely in the Hunter's crosshairs. What started as a rescue will end in war.
