The Divinity Thieves




Teens compete to become gods in this high-octane YA fantasy for fans of Lightlark and Lore.

Fawn Gallo is a con artist. In a world where the gods and their offspring hold all the power, she’s a mere mortal making her way by scamming the wealthy. Ever since the God of Shadow placed a curse on her family, she’s known she’s destined for a scrappy life and an early death.

Mackie Prince should have the privileges of being a demigod. But her father, the God of Merriment, doesn’t acknowledge her, leaving Mackie and her mother to live in poverty.

When the God of Merriment himself announces an Ascension Trial—a once-a-century competition for demigods to win godhood—Fawn and Mackie each see a chance to steal divinity for themselves.

Locked in Merriment Manor with six other hopefuls, Fawn and Mackie are shocked to find each other. Ever since a devastating betrayal shattered their childhood friendship, they’ve been sworn enemies. But as the trial proceeds, and the tasks turn dangerous, Mackie and Fawn realize they may have to push their yearslong rivalry aside and rely on each other. . . or risk certain death.

Praise for The Divinity Thieves

Praise for Spells to Forget Us:
*A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection*

“A seamless, mind-bending exploration of love and identity that manages to completely re-invent the time-loop story. Luna and Aoife captured my heart in an instant! You’ll never read a book quite like this again.” —Mark Oshiro, #1 NYT bestselling author of Into the Light

“A compelling urban fantasy about love, familial obligations, and one’s power over fate.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Spells to Forget Us is a whirlwind of whimsical romance and examinations of autonomy and familial duty. Even if Luna and Aoife keep forgetting each other, readers surely won't forget them.” —Jas Hammonds, award-winning author of We Deserve Monuments

“An unforgettable story of forbidden romance, self discovery, and proof that all magic has a cost—even the magic of falling in love. Spells to Forget Us is as mesmerizing as it is heartwarming.” —Gabi Burton, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sing Me to Sleep
