Explore the thrilling origins of the druid Doric in this original
prequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. For as long
as she can remember, Doric has felt alone. Abandoned by her human
parents, she wandered for years before being taken in by a
community of Neverwinter Woods elves. But her horns and tail
proclaim a tiefling heritage, and even among the kindest of elves,
her fledgling druidic abilities mark her as different from the
rangers around her. And as humans begin to encroach farther and
farther into the once pristine woods, Doric knows she needs to
master her druidic capabilities if she is to be any help to her
adopted family. With no means of helping Doric themselves, her
guardians see no choice but to send her somewhere she can come into
her own. Tucked among the ancient pines of the Ardeep Forest hides
the Emerald Enclave, an order of warriors tasked with preserving
the natural world. They fight to maintain balance between the
forces of the wild and civilization, and in doing so, protect the
sanctity of each. Among their order, Doric begins to find power in
her differences. But not all her fellow initiates are so capable of
new growth, and as her training continues, Doric is forced to
confront the very beliefs that brought her into the Enclave's fold.
If she's going to protect her home, she'll have to reckon with her
people, her power, and the walls she's built to keep herself safe
from both.

The world is made safe by a woman . . . but it is a very big world.
It has been generations since the Storyteller Queen saved her
country from fire and blood - but now the kingdom of Kharuf is
threatened by a demon gathering power. When a princess is born, the
demon is ready with her final blow: a curse that will cost that
princess her very soul, or force her to destroy her own people to
save her life. The threads of magic are tightly spun, binding
princess and exiled spinners into a desperate quest to break the
curse. But the web of power is dangerously tangled - and they may
not see the true pattern until it is unspooled. Kingdom of Sleep,
by the critically acclaimed E. K. Johnston, is a spellbinding
retelling of an enchanting fairy tale with the power of story at
its heart.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston comes a
brave and unforgettable story that will inspire readers to rethink
how we treat survivors. Hermione Winters is captain of her
cheerleading team, and in tiny Palermo Heights, this doesn't mean
what you think it means. At PHHS, the cheerleaders don't cheer for
the sports teams; they are the sports team-the pride and joy of a
small town. The team's summer training camp is Hermione's last and
marks the beginning of the end of...she's not sure what. She does
know this season could make her a legend. But during a camp party,
someone slips something in her drink. And it all goes black. In
every class, there's a star cheerleader and a pariah pregnant girl.
They're never supposed to be the same person. Hermione struggles to
regain the control she's always had and faces a wrenching decision
about how to move on. The rape wasn't the beginning of Hermione
Winter's story and she's not going to let it be the end. She won't
be anyone's cautionary tale. "This story of a cheerleader rising up
after a traumatic event will give you Veronica Mars-level feels
that will stay with you long after you finish."-Seventeen Magazine
He killed three hundred girls before he came to my village, looking
for a wife. When a powerful and dangerous king arrives in the
desert to take one of the village girls as his next wife, one girl
will stop at nothing to save the life of her sister - even if it
means sacrificing herself. At his palace she is sure death awaits.
But the king's fascination with her keeps her alive night after
night, as the tales she weaves for him create a strange magic
between them and her words come to life before her eyes. As her
stories become more intricate and beautiful, her magic becomes more
powerful, but will it be enough to save her?
