An instant USA Today bestseller! A Goodreads Best Fantasy Choice Award Nominee! The USA Today bestselling When Among Crows is a story of witches, knights, and monsters set in modern day Chicago and pulling from Slavic folklore from #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth. We bear the sword, and we bear the pain of the sword. On Kupala Night, Dymitr arrives in Chicago’s monstrous, magical underworld with a perilous mission: pick the mythical fern flower and offer it to a cursed creature in exchange for help finding the legendary witch Baba Jaga. Ala is a fear-eating zmora afflicted with a bloodline curse that’s slowly killing her. She's just desperate enough to say yes to Dymitr, even if she doesn’t know his motives. Over the course of one night, Ala and Dymitr risk life and limb in search of Baba Jaga, and begin to build a tentative friendship. . . but when Ala finds out what Dymitr is hiding, it could destroy them both. "Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."—Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Seek the Traitor's Son
Same author's blend of duty-bound knights, forbidden attraction and slow-burn tension, but epic warfare and prophecy replace the single-night urban folklore hunt.
The Siren
Another cursed monstrous girl falling for someone she shouldn't, with found-family warmth—lighter, more romance-forward and far less gore.
Caraval / Legendary / Finale / Spectacular
Another magic-soaked night of dangerous bargains and forbidden alliances, but the peril feels dreamlike and romantic rather than blood-slicked and folkloric.
Top Secret
Keeps the forbidden slow-burn and found-family pull, but swaps folklore monsters for contemporary campus romance and is much spicier.
Misfit
Keeps the forbidden, slow-burn bond between outsiders forming a found family, but swaps Slavic monsters for boarding-school scheming and on-page heat.
The Charlie Method
If you want the found-family and forbidden pull without folklore, this is contemporary, far spicier, and built around multiple partners.
