Paranormalcy
By Kiersten White
YA F WHITE
Evie just wants a normal life. But since she has a special talent for finding paranormals, she's a member of the International Paranormal Containment Agency. Add in the fact that there's a faerie after her soul and a newly captured paranormal who thinks there's more to Evie than she realizes, and Evie definitely isn't normal. And when a creature starts killing paranormals-- and communicating with Evie-- normal is pretty much out of the question.

The Blue Sword

Elantris
By Brandon Sanderson
SCI-FI SANDERSO
Raoden, the prince of Arelon and Sarene, a princess from a nearby kingdom, are supposed to wed, but when Sarene arrives in Arelon, she’s informed that Raoden has died (not exactly true—but he has fallen victim to the “Shaod” and placed within the walled city of Elantris). Neither Raoden or Sarene acquiesce to their circumstances. Raoden organizes the hordes afflicted with the Shaod and Sarene begins teaching the ladies of the Arelon court how to fence.

Leviathan
By Scott Westerfeld
YA Fiction Westerfe Leviatha #1
In this steampunk alternate history, World War I is on the horizon, Deryn Sharp masquerading as a boy in order to join the British Air Service, and Alek is a Prince’s son in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
