Finley, Mya, River, and Eli were inseparable as kids, running wild on Alaska’s vast wide-open spaces. Then tragedy struck, and Finley moved to the lower 48. But now it’s Senior year, and Finley’s back in Anchorage. When Mya throws a house party on a snowy Valentine’s Day night, it’s supposed to be a chance for the friends to heal old wounds. But an encounter with a mysterious stranger quickly turns the evening into a nightmare.

As the group scrambles to cover up what they’ve done, the fault lines they’ve grown so good at ignoring begin to crack as the police investigate and the media hounds them. Are they the most vicious teens in America, or deeply misunderstood? Everyone wants to know—even the teens themselves.

Fast-paced and thrillingly tense, THE TRESPASSERS explores guilt, loyalty, and the complex nature of friendship.

Jennifer Lynn Alvarez earned her BA in English Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, and went into finance, of all things before she accomplished her childhood dream of becoming an author. Jennifer grew up in Alaska and now divides her time between Northern California and Middle Tennessee with her husband, kids, and more than her fair share of pets. THE TRESPASSERS is her 11th novel.

Every three years on April 13th, a Devlin dies. Fourteen-year-old Kit Devlin knows this because she lost both her parents to the family curse one afterthe other, sending her on an endless carousel of short-lived stints with estranged cousins and forgotten uncles. So when the news arrives that the eccentric grandfather she’s never met is the latest to kick to the bucket, she’s not surprised. What she doesn’t expect is the invitation to his funeral that comes with it—something no Devlin ever has.

Along with her current guardian, Aunt Something or Another (or Aunt Soraas Kit calls her), she arrives at the darkly whimsical Grimlore Manor in the strange and dreary town of Hearthstone, Scotland, only to discover she’s one of a select few Devlins invited to partake in a very special game. Whoever can solve the series of riddles and mysteries her grandfather left behind will inherit his fortune. With the money he left behind for Kit’s care swiftly dwindling, Aunt Sora makes it clear that without that inheritance, Kit will be out of a home. But as she burrows deeper into the game her grandfather left behind, she begins to uncover the truth behind the curse that took her parents—and how to break it. Kit throws herself into the competition, but in a house full of hidden rooms and secret doors that never lead where they’re supposed to, getting lost is the least of her worries.

Because her family members will do whatever it takes to win that inheritance—even kill…

BOOK 1: INFERNO’S HEIR (October 2024)

Teia Carthan abandoned her morals long ago, and now there’s nothing she won’t do to stay alive. So far she has survived her parents’ deaths, the ire of the Council, and innumerable attempts on her life, orchestrated by Jura, her half-brother and soon-to-be king of Erisia. Teia’s rare control over two elements marks her as both an outsider and a formidable opponent—but once Jura is crowned king, there will be no way to survive him. Not for Teia, not for anyone.

When Jura moves to crush the rebellion that seeks to overthrow the monarchy, Teia sees one last opportunity to ensure her own safety. She can infiltrate the rebels, locate their base . . . and betray them to Jura, trading their lives for her own.

Yet when Teia meets the rebels, she gets far more than she bargained for. And when she gains not only their trust but their friendship, she begins to have doubts. Perhaps the rebels are right. Perhaps the Golden Palace should be torn down and the monarchy destroyed.

But then again—what if there is another possibility? What if Teia were on the throne instead?

A mesmerizing debut fantasy.” –Rebecca Yarros, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame

A fantastical romp filled with intrigue and suspense.” —Kirkus Reviews

BOOK 2: TEMPEST’S QUEEN (October 2025)

The queen has won her crown. Now, she must prove she’s worthy to wear it.

Six months ago, Teia Carthan seized the throne against all odds. She sacrificed everything—her morals, her friends, even the spark of love—to hear the whisper of her new title: Highness.

Now, Teia sets sail across the Dark Sea to warn her cousin, the Shaylani emperor, of a threat that could doom the Five Kingdoms: Cornelius Lehm lives, and he’s planning to raise the Serkawr. But as she begins a furious journey across Shaylan, Teia knows she needs help to defeat Lehm—even if it means working with the very rebels she betrayed to claim her crown.

Trust is a fragile thing, and Teia crushed it beneath her heel. Can she earn the Dawnbreakers’ friendship once again? Or will the consequences of her treachery win out, dragging all she’s fought for like a wave to the depths?
