Young Adult Fantasy sticker atop mockup of Legend and Legacies by Gianne Rabena with the words "To prove something, to protect someone, or be a pawn" at the bottom

Blurb: KARLA has seen a terrible vision of destruction through the hands of young Seer. Just when she thinks she's finally close to understanding her powers, the secret superhuman community is reminded that the Heart of Heroes' gifts are not what they seem. Her crush may have confessed he has feelings for her, but it was only a matter of time before she becomes a legitimate danger to everyone she loves the most and herself. ANDRE accepts his role as the Hero of the Prophecy, ready to be what the title needs him to be to protect Karla, his family, and his friends. It changes the way the students at school and the community sees him, replacing kind, people-pleasing Andre with a mistrusting, but self-assured guardian. But the stronger his powers get, the less he wants to be the Organization's next Superhero. CURTIS feels farther away from who he's expected to be as the Light, the closer he is to uncovering the truth about his superhero father's death. He's mastered his Inner-Light, but darkness from the past keeps him wanting to break the rules and undermine the systems. Not very Kapitan Araw of him. To prove something, to protect someone, or be a pawn. Everything is hanging on a trip to Erterya, the Earth region of the Other World of diwatas and engkantos. Between the certainty of a new wave of power hungry shadow creatures, a stormy villain, and possible traitors, Heart, Hero, and Light may need to work together as a super team of their own to make sure the prophecy goes in their terms.

This is not a drill. I repeat this is not a drill. It’s cover reveal day for the third book in Gianne Rabena’s YA super hero fantasy series!

The Sun and Her Shadow Blurb: A missing god. A fake marriage. And two hearts that were never supposed to find each other again. Raelyn spent her life in the shadows, cursed to live without sunlight and tragically trapped under her vicious stepmother’s rule. But when a chance encounter with a masked vigilante awakens a strange power within her, Raelyn’s dream of a future free from her stepmother’s grasp is finally within reach. So long as the realm doesn’t die first. Prince Kian’s search for a lost god leads him to Raelyn, the woman who stole his heart years before.

With the king’s ultimatum to choose a wife before the season’s end or be forced into an arranged marriage, Kian takes matters into his own hands. A deal. A fake marriage to save them both. No feelings, no risk. But as old magic stirs and long-buried memories resurface, their careful bargain begins to fracture. The gods have other plans, and some bargains were never meant to last.
