Jaych is a legionnaire of a fallen empire, its war-mongering past having caught up to it. All she wants is to guide her country to a better future. But when a high priest lies about seeing Jaych communicate with spirits to sabotage her efforts, she is forced on a politically-motivated suicide quest to find and bond with a spirit. The quest is fraught with danger and stress, and Jaych is responsible for keeping the holy, yet completely inexperienced, young man assigned to be her spiritual guide alive. From leading her charge across the terrain, to guiding him through inclement weather, to facing off against well-armed enemies, and, of course, listening to his pious self-righteousness. Jaych is worn to the bone by the ordeal. And if that wasn't enough to make her relive a life scarred by trauma, both from her years of military service and from her fearsome mother, her growing interest in a young woman who decided to accompany her might signal an attraction that she is utterly unequipped to deal with; and, ultimately, the choice between a warrior's death or happiness.

In ZEROES, Scott Westerfeld teams up with award-winning authors Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti to create a sizzling new series filled with action and adventure. Don’t call them heroes. But these six Californian teens have powers that set them apart. Take Ethan, a.k.a. Scam. He’s got a voice inside him that’ll say whatever you want to hear, whether it’s true or not. Which is handy, except when it isn’t—like when the voice starts gabbing in the middle of a bank robbery. The only people who can help are the other Zeroes, who aren’t exactly best friends these days. Enter Nate, a.k.a. Bellwether, the group’s “glorious leader.” After Scam’s SOS, he pulls the scattered Zeroes back together. But when the rescue blows up in their faces, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into whirlwind encounters with ever more dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos they find Kelsie, who can take a crowd in the palm of her hand and tame it or let it loose as she pleases. Filled with high-stakes action and drama, Zeroes unites three powerhouse authors for the opening installment of a thrilling new series. Read a sneak peek here on Wattpad and look out for ZEROES on September 29, 2015 in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook wherever books are sold.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle featuring his famous detective.

Stan and Charmaine are a married couple trying to stay afloat in the midst of an economic and social collapse. Job loss has forced them to live in their car, leaving them vulnerable to roving gangs. They desperately need to turn their situation around—and fast. The Positron Project in the town of Consilience seems to be the answer to their prayers. No one is unemployed and everyone gets a comfortable, clean house to live in . . . for six months out of the year. On alternating months, residents of Consilience must leave their homes and function as inmates in the Positron prison system. Once their month of service in the prison is completed, they can return to their "civilian" homes. At first, this doesn't seem like too much of a sacrifice to make in order to have a roof over one's head and food to eat. But when Charmaine becomes romantically involved with the man who lives in their house during the months when she and Stan are in the prison, a series of troubling events unfolds, putting Stan's life in danger. With each passing day, Positron looks less like a prayer answered and more like a chilling prophecy fulfilled. Keep reading and be sure to enter The Heart Goes Last Fiction contest!
