From the remote mountains of West Virginia to the glittering heights of Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, bestselling Young Adult authors Maggie Stiefvater and Renée Ahdieh explore worlds of wealth, power, and hidden truths in their adult debuts. In The Listeners, June Hudson navigates the delicate balance of running a luxury hotel filled with detained Nazi diplomats while managing her own past and a dangerous new romance, all as war encroaches on every corner of life. In Park Avenue, Jia Song races against time to manage a high-profile family crisis, untangling secrets, scandals, and loyalties within one of the world’s most powerful Korean business dynasties.
