Queer, Black, and sexy as hell, The Drakon King is romantasy at its best: A forbidden love story between princes in the court of a cruel king and an edge-of-your-seat tale of missing dragons, ruthless betrayals, and stolen hearts.

Two princes, born to a world at war.

Heir to a kingdom built on lies and stolen magic, Prince Reverie has one goal: avoid the crown. Raised by a cruel and violent king, Reverie’s real life begins after curfew―bottle service, masked revelries, top-shelf highs, and anonymous rooftop liaisons. But when his king plots to seize dwindling majikal resources from the Drakon King, Reverie hits his limit―he casts aside his royal obligations and gets the hell outta town. Better a free fugitive than a tortured captive.

Heir to a kingdom banished into the sky, Prince Xandreth has one goal: find a missing friend. His brother, the Drakon King, stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that their people keep going missing, so Xandreth takes it upon himself to hunt down answers.

A meeting that will change them both.

Having abandoned their kingdoms, both princes end up stranded in the dangerous and bewitching Wraithwood, and out of desperation, agree to help each other and then go their separate ways.

A love that will save their world.

But when a myth as old as the world―a bird on fire in the belly of a massive volcano―is whispered from Human lips to Drakon ears, Reverie and Xandreth are suddenly at the heart of a crisis so much bigger than a missing friend or even freedom.

If they can’t come together, the world itself may go up in flames.

Perfect for fans of Crescent City, When the Moon Hatched, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, Fourth Wing, and the world of Blade Runner.

The hardcover edition includes a gorgeous two-page world map.

The unforgettable story of a Black woman who creates her own chosen family after tragedy, in a “warm and wise” tale (Observer UK) of the enduring power of a mother’s love.

When Paulette arrived on English shores as a young girl, she left behind a grandmother in St. Kitts who called her “Sweet Pea,” taught her to cook, and admonished her to avoid temptation and embrace love and forgiveness, in that order. Now Paulette is twenty-nine and in love with Denton, who she hopes to start a family and have lots of children with. But then Denton is killed in a car accident, and Paulette is left to grieve, as Denton’s friend Garfield finds his way into her bed. Soon their son is born, Bird, and Paulette decides to give Bird the best of everything, even as she lets Garfield go. Then, in a twist of fate, she meets the man who was behind the wheel of the car that killed Denton, and the grandson who he is having trouble caring for, a young boy the same age as Bird. Despite her grief and anger, Paulette takes the boy under her wing, and soon she is cooking him meals, making sure his clothes are clean, and letting him call her Sweet Pea. As the years go by, Paulette begins to understand the value of forgiveness, and most of all, love, and how much allowing it to guide her life has provided the strength she needed.

Beautiful and profound, Sweet Pea is a tender and emotionally-compelling novel about the healing power of one woman’s love and care for her found family.

“Every page in Temper sizzles with ancient truth and brand new, desperately needed hope. The world is on fire―it’s true. Temper is our Emergency Exit.”―Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed

“Temper is challenging and heartbreaking, mystical and invitational, ancestral and glorious.”―Dr. Resmaa Menakem, New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother’s Hands

Freedom isn’t a distant, political goal, but rather something we can practice right now. Drawing on the ancestral wisdom of Harriet Tubman and other fugitives, the lineage of Black Feminism, and the discipline of martial arts, Autumn Brown teaches us how to temper our bodies and spirits for this resilient practice of freedom―exactly where we are.

In this urgent and soulful book, Brown teaches you to:

• Shift from a fugue state of trauma-induced dissociation to a fugitive state of alertness and agency to navigate the ever-changing world.
• Stop the exhausting attempt to control your environment and start the practice of conditioning for the unknown.
• Discover how your deepest sources of pain can connect you with ancestral wisdom.
• Experience how falling apart together can create a sense of life-saving connectedness.

Autumn writes, “We ask ourselves, with every choice we make, how are we building capacity, fortitude, strength, intuition, and resilience that births a future freedom we could all live and thrive in?” Step onto the fugitive path and discover the truth: you were made for this crossing.

Featuring stunning custom sprayed edges that transform the book into a collectible centerpiece, this premium edition delivers a visual experience as epic as the story itself. The intricate edge design brings the world of giant mechs and monstrous Preds to life before readers even turn the first page, making it a must-have for science fiction collectors and fans of beautifully crafted books.

Ten years ago, colossal monsters known as Megapredators―Preds―rose from the depths and shattered the world as we knew it. Entire cities fell. Nations militarized. Humanity survived only by building the Knights: towering war machines piloted by the brave few willing to stand between civilization and extinction.

For the Abraham family of Detroit, the war against the Preds is personal. Mose and Sami Abraham, along with their children Zee and Yas, have spent years helping build the very machines that keep humanity alive. But when three Preds erupt from Lake St. Clair and reduce Detroit to rubble, the Abrahams are forced into the fight themselves. Climbing into an unfinished Knight, they accomplish the impossible: they defeat the monsters and survive.

Then they receive a desperate message from their son Tep, a Knight recruit stationed at a military training facility in Colorado. His warning is fragmented and terrifying. Something is wrong. And if they value their lives, they must stay away.

Refusing to abandon him, the Abrahams set out across a devastated America, piloting a stolen Knight through ruined cities, lawless wastelands, and battlefields haunted by Pred attacks. Along the way, Yas uncovers evidence suggesting the monsters are not random predators at all. Someone is controlling them.

As government forces close in and a deadly conspiracy begins to emerge, the family discovers a truth more horrifying than any monster: the Preds are not invaders. They are victims.

Behind the Knight Program lies a secret decades in the making―a genocidal experiment fueled by greed, power, and hatred. At its center stands Simon Pillar, the billionaire architect of humanity's salvation, whose vision for America's future will cost countless innocent lives.

When Tep becomes the latest casualty of Pillar's twisted ambitions, the Abrahams are thrust into a desperate race to save not only their son, but the nation itself. To stop a war built on lies, they'll have to face impossible choices, overwhelming odds, and a nightmare that threatens to consume humanity from within.

Because the monsters were never the real enemy.

And the worst one is still waiting.

A thrilling blend of giant mech action, family drama, and chilling political conspiracy, The Bleed Black launches an epic science fiction saga about what makes us human―and what happens when power decides otherwise.

Rainy days are perfect for museum visits, and Aidan is excited to learn. But with the umbrella weather comes long lines and loud sounds. As with others with Autism, these sensations overwhelm Aidan.

Then another child reaches out, not with judgment but with curiosity. She invites Aidan to explore the exhibits with her, and this one act of kindness makes a world of difference. With the help of his dad and his new friend, Aidan is able to be himself, proving to others and to himself that he belongs.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Oshiro (The Sun and the Star) comes a deeply compelling and emotionally resonant new novel that puts a sinister spin on the idea that “the children are our future”.

There is little that frightens Arturo Ruiz anymore.

Life in the twenty-first century feels like one historic event after another. He and his friends have been through it all: pandemics. Floods and fires. Active shooters and drills at school. State-sanctioned violence. Still, the teens are expected to model resilience, to boldly march into the future and fulfill the promises of the generations before them.

Or so they had thought. Because tomorrow–the world is going to end.

And the nightmares Arturo had been having―the ones with the buzzing, eerie entities asking terrible questions about survival? Those were meant to be a warning.

Unfortunately for Arturo, his sister, and his two best friends, their parents are no help–abandoning them suddenly and leaving behind only the cryptic message:

We won’t be here when it ends.

This is the story of how to survive the end of the world--or die trying.

WE WON’T BE HERE WHEN IT ENDS is an unflinchingly honest look at the darkest possible timeline, infused with a shocking supernatural twist. Equal parts humanity and horror―this book is perfect for fans of Andrew Joseph White, Carnaby Kim, and Parasyte.

A crown to claim.

Against all odds, Virdei overcame neighboring kingdom Petruvia's invasion attempt. But Mira Kyler can't rejoice with everyone else. Her mother, Aja, was kidnapped, and Mira suspects she's being held hostage by Petruvian forces.

Despite Kaidren's efforts to stop her, Mira sneaks into the Petruvian castle, disguised as a thief. She's certain her lie-detecting magic will help her find her mother. But for all her schemes, she never saw the ruthless Prince Raevin coming.

Prince Raevin makes Mira an offer he's certain she won't be able to refuse: Pretend to be his betrothed. In exchange for her help defeating his siblings in the race for the Petruvian throne, Mira will rule alongside Prince Raevin as his true equal.

At first, Prince Raevin is only a means to an end-finding Aja and returning home to be with Kaidren-but as Mira peels back the layers of the icy prince, she finds that they are more alike than not. With everything she's ever worked for at her fingertips, she must ask herself what she wants most: love, or power?
