Young Adult

Nameless

Eighteen-year-old Jaren Falls has always lived in the shadows of Xephion, a city encased in glass where only those with government-issued electronic IDs—Names—are allowed to exist. For the Nameless, life means hiding indoors, dodging patrols, and clinging to hope offered by the rebel radio broadcasts of the legendary Seekers. But when Jaren’s family vanishes overnight and soldiers arrive at his door, his carefully constructed life collapses. Jaren runs, seeking the Seekers, as his parents advised. He believes he’s fighting for freedom, but the secret of his true identity could make him the rebellion’s undoing.

Blending the claustrophobic tension of Scythe by Neal Shusterman with the rebellion-driven intrigue of Legend by Marie Lu, it follows a teen who discovers his entire life has been engineered as part of a dictator’s trap, and he must decide whether freedom is worth losing everything he thought he knew.

Middle Grade

The Locker of Legends

When Alex ducks into a locker to escape middle-school humiliation and finds himself transported to a magical realm on the verge of collapse, he must reforge an ancient artifact and restore balance to the world, or face the risk of never seeing home again. With an escaped princess, a heron-riding blacksmith, and a very opinionated sword at his side, Alex must retrieve the artifact’s lost shards, reforge it, and brave the darkness beneath a dying capital to face the realm’s greatest enemy. But the closer Alex gets to saving the world, the more he realizes the hardest part won’t be defeating the enemy, it will be deciding who he’s willing to leave behind.

Classic middle grade portal fantasy meets the dungeon-crawling thrills of The Legend of Zelda in this exciting adventure.

Witch’s Best Friend

When Echo the dog’s best friend and owner—12-year-old Ema—is caught doing magic, he must travel across the country to save her from witch hunters before her execution.

Along the way, he meets a lost pup, a one-eyed cat, a falcon with a dark past, and a horse of legendary heritage who challenge his prejudices and make him question his beliefs about friendship, love, and loyalty. Only by accepting help from his companions and facing his greatest fear will he have any hope of rescuing Ema. He must weigh this reality against the chance that if he brings others into Ema’s circle, he may lose his favored place by her side. The world-building of Julie Abe’s Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch collide with the heartfelt journey of Homeward Bound in this epic adventure.
