March 2015 Young Adult Fantasy Releases

Hello, Travelers! We hope this Wednesday is treating you well. As a way to bring you the newest Young Adult Fantasy novels, we've decided to write about five new books each month. Please keep in mind that there are a lot of YA Fantasy novels released each month, so this is by no means a "fair" list. What we can guarantee is that these books release sometime this month (some have already), and that they are fantasy. We have not read any of the books in this list, so also keep in mind that these are books that seem interesting based on their description. Without further ado, here are the March releases we picked to share.

March 3rd, 2015

In The Storyspinner by Becky Wallace, drama and danger abound in this fantasy realm where dukes play a game for the throne, magical warriors race to find the missing heir, and romance blossoms where it is least expected.
          In a world where dukes plot their way to the throne, a Performer’s life can get tricky. And in Johanna Von Arlo’s case, it can be fatal. Expelled from her troupe after her father’s death, Johanna is forced to work for the handsome Lord Rafael DeSilva. Too bad they don’t get along. But while Johanna’s father’s death was deemed an accident, the Keepers aren’t so sure.
          The Keepers, a race of people with magical abilities, are on a quest to find the princess—the same princess who is supposed to be dead and whose throne the dukes are fighting over. But they aren’t the only ones looking for her. And in the wake of their search, murdered girls keep turning up—girls who look exactly like the princess, and exactly like Johanna.
          With dukes, Keepers, and a killer all after the princess, Johanna finds herself caught up in political machinations for the throne, threats on her life, and an unexpected romance that could change everything.

          Wickedness and passion combine in this coming-of-age adventure.

In Red by Alyxandra Harvey, bad girls burn hot…. 
       
  Red is the color of Kia Alcott's hair. 
          It's her temper, which blazes hot and always gets Kia into way too much trouble. 
          And it's the color of fire. Fires that Kia can start…just by thinking about them. 
          When her latest “episode” gets her kicked out of school, Kia is shipped off to her grandmother, who works for the wealthy Blackwoods. It's an estate shrouded in secrets, surrounded by rules, and presided over by a family that is far from normal…including the gorgeous and insolent Ethan Blackwood. 
          Ethan knows far more about the dangers of the forest surrounding the estate than Kia can ever imagine. For this forest has teeth, and Ethan is charged with protecting the outside world from its vicious mysteries. 
          But inside, even the most vibrant shade of red doesn't stand a chance against the dark secrets of the Blackwood family….

In The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows, Wilhelmina has a hundred identities. 

          She is a princess. When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other orphaned children of nobility were taken to Skyvale, the Indigo Kingdom’s capital. Ten years later, they are the Ospreys, experts at stealth and theft. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne. 
          She is a spy. Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study their foes. They assume the identities of nobles from a wraith-fallen kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows suspicious. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone. 
          She is a threat. Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic has been forbidden. Still the wraith pours across the continent, reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Soon it will reach the Indigo Kingdom. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will vanish like all the others. 
          Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, dangerous magic, and one girl’s battle to reclaim her place in the world.

In In the Time of the Dragon Moon by Janet Lee Carey, on the southernmost tip of Wilde Island––far from the Dragonswood sanctuary and the Pendragon Castle––live the native Euit people. Uma, who is half Euit and half English, and not fully accepted by her tribe, wants to become a healer like her Euit father. But the mad English queen in the north, desperate for another child, kidnaps Uma and her father and demands that he cure her barrenness. After her father dies, Uma must ensure that the queen is with child by the time of the Dragon Moon, or be burned at the stake. 
          Terrified and alone, Uma reaches out to her only possible ally: the king's nephew Jackrun, a fiery dragonrider with dragon, fairy, and human blood. Together, they must navigate through a sea of untold secrets, unveil a dark plot spawned long ago in Dragonswood, and find a way to accept all the elements––Euit, English, dragon, and fairy––that make them who they are.
