They Both Die at the End meets The Loneliest Girl in the Universe
in this mind-bending sci-fi mystery and tender love story about two
boys aboard a spaceship sent on a rescue mission, from two-time
National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer. Stonewall Honor Award
winner! Two boys, alone in space. Sworn enemies sent on the same
rescue mission. Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with
no memory of a launch. There's more that doesn't add up: evidence
indicates strangers have been on board, the ship's operating system
is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has
barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making
his mission succeed-not when he's rescuing his own sister. In order
to survive the ship's secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work
together and learn to trust each other . . . especially once they
discover what they are truly up against. Love might be the only way
to survive. * Chicago Public Library's Best of the Best Books of

Danyana "Yana" Morneen, the only child of a widowed cobbler, has
always wondered why the forest seems so sad. Dark and lifeless, it
sits on the outskirts of town, never producing the lush greenness
she longs for. As Yana explores the secrets of the forest, she
tries in vain to keep an admirer's advances at bay.
Many women in the village desire Nicolas Vanlock, the wealthy,
handsome son of a local merchant, but he only has eyes for Yana.
For as long as she can remember, Nicolas has been trying to force
himself into her life, and now he desires marriage. But Yana knows
that her destiny does not lie with Nicolas.
As she ventures further into the forest and its secrets, Yana
discovers a lush, hidden estate in the very heart of the woods and
is surrounded by magic she cannot comprehend. Her visits to the
property's garden of roses become more frequent, and she becomes
aware of a presence in the dilapidated old mansion. Nicolas fears
he is losing his true love to another, and he begins a relentless
campaign to claim Yana's heart.
If Nicolas has his way, Yana will never be allowed to enter the
enchanted forest again .

SAVED A FEAST OF DRAGONS (Book #3 in the Sorcerer's Ring) takes us
deeper into Thor's epic journey to becoming a warrior, as he
journeys across the Sea of Fire to the dragon's Isle of Mist. An
unforgiving place, home to the most elite warriors of the world,
Thor's powers and abilities deepen as he trains. His friendships
deepen, too, as they face adversities together, beyond what they
could imagine. But as they find themselves up against unimaginable
monsters, The Hundred quickly goes from training session to a
matter of life or death. Not all will survive. Along the way,
Thor's dreams, along with his mysterious encounters with Argon,
will continue to plague him, to press him to try to learn more
about who he is, who his mother is, and what the source of his
powers are. What is his destiny? Back in the Ring, matters are
getting much worse. As Kendrick is imprisoned, Gwendolyn finds it
landing on her to try to save him, to save the Ring by bringing
down her brother Gareth. She hunts for clues for her father's
murderer along with her brother Godfrey, and along the way, the two
of them will become much closer, united in their cause. But
Gwendolyn finds herself in mortal danger as she presses too deep,
and she may be in over her head. Gareth attempts to wield the
Dynasty Sword and learns what it means to be King, becoming drunk
with the abuse of power. He rules ruthlessly, becoming paranoid. As
the noose tightens on the king's assassin, the McClouds attack
deeper into the Ring, and King's Court finds itself in an
increasingly precarious position. Gwendolyn pines for Thor's
return, for them to be together, for their love to blossom. But
with powerful forces in their way, it is questionable if that
chance will ever come. Will Thor survive The Hundred? Will King's
Court collapse? Will MacGil's murderer be found? Will Gwendolyn end
up with Thor? And will Thor finally learn the secret of his
destiny? With its sophisticated world-building and
characterization, A FEAST OF DRAGONS is an epic tale of friends and
lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues
and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of
deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and
courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that
brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal
to all ages and genders. It is nearly 70,000 words. Book #4 in the
series will be published soon. "Grabbed my attention from the
beginning and did not let go....This story is an amazing adventure
that is fast paced and action packed from the very beginning. There
is not a dull moment to be found." --Paranormal Romance Guild
{regarding Turned} "Jam packed with action, romance, adventure, and
suspense. Get your hands on this one and fall in love all over
again." --vampirebooksite.com (regarding Turned) "A great plot, and
this especially was the kind of book you will have trouble putting
down at night. The ending was a cliffhanger that was so spectacular
that you will immediately want to buy the next book, just to see
what happens." --The Dallas Examiner {regarding Loved}

in trade paperback! Forty years after the earth was devastated by
massive flooding, four children on one small sailboat must flee
corrupt authorities and overcome the dangers of the sea that
