The Beautiful Quartet Series

In the stunning conclusion to New York Times bestselling The Beautiful Quartet series, Celine fights for her right to choose as the deadly war between fey Courts approaches.

“The final showdown is a big one in its consequences both to the fey Otherworld and New Orleans . . . No one escapes unscathed.”—Kirkus Reviews

In the smoldering aftermath of the events of The Righteous—a deadly skirmish on the border of the Winter and Summer Courts—Bastien now finds himself entrenched among the Winter Court survivors hidden deep within the mountain. From this ancient seat of the Sylvan Wyld, he begins to truly understand the destruction wrought by the summer fey on his brethren. The dying wish of Sunan, the famed illusionist and hero of the Winter Court, is for Bastien to take his rightful place and assume responsibility for the Sylvan Wyld and bring an end to the war with the Summer Court and Lady Silla of the Sylvan Vale. To do this, Bastien will be granted access to the most powerful—and most coveted—artifact in all the fey realms. But it may come at a great cost. Taking on this role will put him at odds with his love, Celine, and her mother, Lady Silla.

Overwhelmed by loss, Celine wants nothing more than to return to an easier time and be among her friends and loved ones in New Orleans, safely ensconced within the Court of the Lions—not contemplating the possibility of taking her mother’s place as the queen of the Summer Court, the same court Bastien wants her to abandon to stand by his side in the Sylvan Wyld.

But she doesn’t believe she should have to give up her own power for anyone, even Bastien—putting them on opposite sides of a brewing bloody war.

May the bloodthirstiest one win.

In this latest installment of The New York Times bestselling quartet that began with The Beautiful, Pippa journeys to the treacherous and beguiling world of the fey in search of answers but instead falls in love.

Following the explosive events of The Damned, Odette faces a vampire’s final death. The Court of the Lions have done everything they can to save her but have failed. A healer from the Sylvan Vale could help her, but only Arjun Desai, as a half fey, can cross the boundary between realms. The Sylvan Vale is a world Arjun despises, and in return, it despises him. But knowing it could save Odette, he returns to the Vale with all haste, leaving the mirrored tare between the two worlds open and unwittingly setting the stage for both love and war.
 
It’s mere days until Pippa Montrose is to wed Phoebus Devereux and become a member of his well-heeled family, offering salvation to her own. But Celine is missing. Pippa has no idea where her best friend has gone, but she’s certain it’s in the company of vampire Sébastien Saint Germain and that Arjun can lead her to them. Pippa enjoins the help of Eloise, the daughter of a powerful sorceress, to discover the gateway Arjun uses to travel between worlds. Pippa, tired of hesitating in life, marches right through in search of her friend. But what she discovers on the other side is a dangerous, duplicitous world full of mischief and magic she doesn’t understand, and most unexpectedly, she finds love.
 
Author of the New York Times bestselling duology The Wrath & The Dawn, Renée Ahdieh is back. The Righteous is the can’t-miss lead in to what will be a much-anticipated finale of a can’t miss quartet. 

In the second installment of the New York Times bestselling The Beautiful quartet, Bastien is no longer human but will not give up on reversing his fate to get back to the one who sacrificed everything for him.

“Forbidden romance and harsh consequences set up this highly anticipated sequel that will leave you wanting so much more.”—Seventeen

“Decadent escapism.”—Kirkus Reviews

Following the events of The Beautiful, Sébastien Saint Germain is no longer human. Like the rest of the Fallen, Bastien is now cursed to walk the earth forever, hungry for blood. And after breaking the tenuous peace his uncle had brokered with the Brotherhood, promising never to bring another vampire into New Orleans, war between the Fallen and the Brotherhood seems imminent. But Bastien is too obsessed with his lost humanity to care, and thoughts of Celine—who ensured his life by giving up all her memories of him and any claim on his heart—haunt him. Bastien decides Celine paid too high a price and sets about unmaking himself, intent on finding his way back to her.

Celine, meanwhile, recovering from the attack on her life, is still gravely troubled by the events of a night she struggles to remember, and she can’t help feeling that everyone is lying to her about what happened. When, at last, she crosses paths with Bastien, now a stranger to her, she feels an inexplicably intense emotional reaction to him that leaves her bewildered by desire. As Celine tries to puzzle out her connection to Bastien, one she knows he felt too, forces lurking in the shadows finally strike out, threatening not only Celine and Bastien’s relationship, but their lives.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the heart of 1872 New Orleans, a seventeen-year-old girl finds herself seeking refuge in a city dealing with a supernatural serial killer.

“Decadent, slow-moving horror that feels like a dream slipping to nightmare.”—Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Gilded Wolves

“Nail-biting, swoony, satisfying, and tense all at the same time. And of course . . . VAMPIRES.”—Sabaa Tahir, New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes

In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans is a safe haven after she’s forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent in the middle of the carnival season, Celine is quickly enraptured by the vibrant city, from its music to its fancy soirées and even its danger. She becomes embroiled in the city’s glitzy underworld, known as La Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group’s enigmatic leader, Sébastien Saint Germain.

When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in Sébastien’s own lair—the second dead girl to turn up in recent weeks—Celine battles her attraction to Sébastien and suspicions about his guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret.

After a third murder, New Orleans becomes gripped by the terror of a serial killer on the loose—one who has now set Celine in his sights. As the murderer stalks her, Celine finally takes matters into her own hands, only to find herself caught in the midst of an age-old feud between the darkest creatures of the night, where the price of forbidden love is her life.
