Step into an illustrated Shadowhunters story, told through the letters, diary entries, and texts of beloved characters from the Mortal Instruments, Infernal Devices, Dark Artifices, and the Last Hours.
Shadowhunters Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn are travelling the globe when the Clave orders them to clean up Blackthorn Hall, a crumbling Gothic fairytale mansion hidden away in Chiswick, London—or else the Clave will demolish it once and for all. Amidst the clutter and disrepair, Emma and Julian discover secrets Blackthorn Hall has kept buried for years. Something (or someone…) else haunts the Blackthorn family’s cursed home.
With the help of their friends and family, Emma and Julian must restore the hall to its former glory and solve the mystery of the spectral presence which threatens any who interfere, while entertaining Shadowhunter visitors from both sides of the Atlantic.
Join beloved characters and fan-favourites in this lovingly illustrated epistolary adventure that bridges the gap between The Dark Artifices and upcoming The Wicked Powers series.
Originally serialized on Tumblr and funded through a hit Kickstarter campaign, Secrets of Blackthorn Hall is now in wide print distribution for the first time.

In a future where humans are enhanced to ensure the survival of society Akaego fights to prevent her power to grow plants from being weaponised by a corrupt regime.
I was going to be a Mechsim. I was going to use my powers to make a difference.
In a near future London, where extreme weather has depleted plant life, sixteen-year-olds must surgically augment an ability to contribute to the new utopian society. Akaego moves to a prestigious academy after the late discovery of her rare ability - she can project a vocal frequency that accelerates plant growth.
As Akaego learns to use her new skill and is chosen for an internship with the mayor she begins to feel like she can change society for the better . . . and it doesn't hurt that the mayor's gorgeous son, Joon, seems to be flirting with her. But then the Freestakers, an anti-enhancement group, warn Akaego not to get Augmented.
Can she discover the truth of her ability, find the courage to rebel and keep her power out of the hands of those wishing to control it?
Die opvolg van die bekroonde Juffrou Goth en die spookmuis. Daar word naarstiglik voorbereidings getref vir die volmaanfees en die groot Grommengrou-bakkompetisie.
Beroemde kokke daag vir die groot geleentheid op, en soos gewoonlik tree Maltravers verdag op. Om alles te kroon verras Ada se ontwykende kamermeisie, Martelina, haar met ’n groot geheim en dit lyk asof almal Ada se verjaarsdag vergeet het!

New York Times bestselling author Faith Erin Hicks says of Lightfall: “Gorgeous artwork and a lovable heroine make Lightfall the series I wish I'd had as a kid.”
In the second installment of the award-winning, critically acclaimed Lightfall series, Bea and Cad continue their quest to stop Kest, the mythic bird who stole the sun. Perfect for middle grade fans of Amulet and Avatar the Last Airbender, Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird is another breathtaking journey into the magical world of Irpa, where epic battles and powerful creatures abound.
After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsai’s vision paints a dire picture for their planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenus—now awoken from a restless slumber—threatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest and save Irpa from utter destruction.
But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers, Bea and Cad must decide what’s more important . . . stopping Kest or uncovering the truth.
