A witch and a hunter. Vengeance is their mission. Love is their
destiny. Fritzi is a witch. A survivor of a brutal attack on her
coven, she's determined to find her only surviving family member
and bring the hexenjägers-zealot witch hunters-to justice for the
lives they ended. To do this, she will need to take down their
leader-Kommandant Dieter Kirch. Otto is a hexenjäger and a
captain, the second in command to Dieter Kirch-but that's just his
cover. Years ago, the hexenjägers burned his innocent mother alive
and since then, he has been planning a move against the witch
hunters that tore his family apart. And now the time has come for
them to pay for what they've done. When Fritzi and Otto are
unexpectedly thrown together, neither is sure they can trust the
other, despite their common enemy. But all they have is one
another, and they both crave revenge. As truths come to light and
trust shifts, Fritzi and Otto uncover a far more horrifying plot at
the center of the hexenjäger attacks . . . but their own growing
feelings for each other may be the most powerful magic of all.
You are cordially invited to the wedding of Princess Leia Organa
and Han Solo. The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The
Empire is desolated. But on the forest moon of Endor, amongst the
chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and
her scoundrel. After being frozen in carbonite, then risking
everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life
for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a
thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it's the first
time in a long time he's had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a
lifetime of fighting doesn't truly seem over. There is work still
to do, penance to pay for the dark secret she now knows runs
through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance
-- one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But
when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately
on her lips . . . Yes. But happily ever after doesn't come easily.
As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony on Endor for
their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most
glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very
public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their
marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, is a
lightning rod for everyone in the galaxy -- including Imperial
remnants still clinging to power. Facing their most desperate hour,
the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy,
retrenching on isolated worlds vulnerable to their influence. As
the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes
abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer,
Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone but
as husband and wife.

In a one-of-a-kind collaboration, seventeen of the most
recognizable YA writers-including Shaun David Hutchinson, Neal and
Brendan Shusterman, and Beth Revis-come together to share the
viewpoints of a group of students affected by a school shooting. It
took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car,
march onto the school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire,
killing six and injuring five others. But this isn't a story about
the shooting itself. This isn't about recounting that one
unforgettable day. This is about one boy, who had friends, enjoyed
reading, playing saxophone in the band, and had never been in
trouble before-became a monster capable of entering his school with
a loaded gun and firing bullets at his classmates. Each chapter is
told from a different victim's viewpoint, giving insight into who
Kirby was and who he'd become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some
are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night
parties. This is a book told from multiple perspectives-with one
character and one event drawing them all together-by some of YA's
most recognizable names.
Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the vast spaceship
"Godspeed." She expects to awaken on a new planet, 300 years in the
future. But fifty years before "Godspeed"'s scheduled landing,
Amy's cryo chamber is unplugged, and she is nearly killed.
Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes
sense. "Godspeed"'s passengers have forfeited all control to
Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his
rebellious and brilliant teenage heir.
Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she? All she knows
is that she must race to unlock "Godspeed"'s hidden secrets before
whoever woke her tries to kill again.
