Thrust into a family of grotesque wealth and led by a tyrannical patriarch, Minerva Sune—disgraced former pop star—must navigate a world of cutthroat intrigue and magical scholarship she knows nothing about. Backstabbing best friends, combative professors, and an occult mastermind who knows her secrets keep her rushing to stay ahead of a familial catastrophe which she fears might end in the ultimate tragedy.

New Release

Alex’s world should be simple. High school, homework, friends, exams — the ordinary rhythms of teenage life, but life is anything but simple forty trillion kilometers from Earth!

When his girlfriend, Lux, slips out of high school and onto the surface of their asteroid, she stumbles across two bodies in charred spacesuits. Everything that seems normal is suddenly being called into question. Who were they? Why were they abandoned, left to mummify in the vacuum rather than being brought home and mourned? Was it a terrible accident — or something far worse?

Alex isn’t sure who they can trust. The more he looks for answers, the more certain he becomes that someone doesn’t want any questions being asked. Two forgotten bodies. One terrifying truth. And a chain of events that will change the course of human history.

FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity’s first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that it is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they’re all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Unicorn comes a new novel with equal amounts of power and whimsy in which a loveable cast of characters trapped within their roles of dragon hunter, princess, and more must come together to take their fates into their own hands.

Dragons are common in the backwater kingdom of Bellemontagne, coming in sizes from mouse-like vermin all the way up to castle-smashing monsters. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabalus Thrax (who would much rather people call him Robert) has recently inherited his deceased dad’s job as a dragon catcher/exterminator, a career he detests with all his heart in part because he likes dragons, feeling a kinship with them, but mainly because his dream has always been the impossible one of transcending his humble origin to someday become a prince’s valet. Needless to say, fate has something rather different in mind…
