"Did you ever read that book you wish you'd written? Vampirates is
that book for me." EOIN COLFER Grace and Connor Tempest discover
the shocking truth of their true identity. What they learn creates
a deep rift between the twins and casts a dark shadow over their
future. Rebel Vampirate Sidorio is intent on expanding his empire
but finds himself distracted by the bewitching Lady Lola Lockwood,
aka Black Heart. With her love of blood baths, a shipboard 'winery'
and a boundless ambition, will the merciless Lady Lola prove the
perfect ally or a deadly rival? Responding to a devastating attack
at the very heart of Pirate Academy, the Pirate Federation
commissions its first dedicated ship of Vampirate assassins and
places its newest captain, Wu Cheng Li, in command. The oceans have
never been as seductive, nor as dangerous...
"A swaggering tale of excitement and adventure that thrills from
the very first sentence..." CRESSIDA COWELL Everything is about to
change... Sidorio and Lola return from their icy honeymoon with
plans to accelerate their reign of terror. Grace and Connor each
receive an invitation to spend time with their true father and
self-styled wicked stepmother. The twins find themselves drawn into
an exotic new realm, filled with temptations as it is fraught with
danger. With the Vampirate Captain still ailing, his guru Mosh Zu
enlists the help of Darcy Flotsam and Lorcan Furey in an
unprecedented mission... to forge an alliance with the Pirate
Federation against the renegade Vampirates. As the first shots are
fired in the war to control the oceans, key lives are lost and
longstanding allegiances called into question.
"Totally original... I wish I'd had this idea!" ANTHONY HOROWITZ
It's time to take a side... A bloody war ravages the oceans.
Already, many on both sides have given their lives. Many more will
do so before the final ceasefire. Grace Tempest proves her healing
powers, working alongside Mosh Zu and Darcy at Sanctuary. She
discovers an ancient book, foretelling a shattering prophesy. One
twin must die... Oblivious, her brother Connor takes his place at
the heart of the Alliance mission to reclaim The Diablo. He is
reunited with a former - forever changed - comrade. As the decisive
battle looms, each side races to recruit new allies and one twin
embarks on a perilous journey to enlist warriors, who long ago
relinquished their swords, to join the ultimate fight.

A New York Times Bestseller! Don't chase fate. Let fate chase you.
'Clever, creative, and exquisitely written' Stephanie Garber For
generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina's homeland. Her people
believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with
death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown
into the sea, in the hopes that one day the 'true bride' will be
chosen and end the suffering. Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina's
brother's beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the
night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina's brother follows her, even
knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother,
Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong's stead. Swept away to
the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical
beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With
the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons,
gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the
storms once and for all. But she doesn't have much time: a human
cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those
who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking . . . The
Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a magical feminist retelling of a
classic Korean legend, perfect for fans of Uprooted and Miyazaki's
Spirited Away. 'A beautiful, mesmerizing retelling' Elizabeth Lim,
New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes 'A true
jewel of a story' Janella Angeles, bestselling author of Where
Dreams Descend
