"In a universe governed by controlled narratives and cultural erasure, Fox delivers an empowering reminder to embrace individuality and dare to fight for change.” —BookLife by Publishers Weekly (Editor’s Pick) “A rousing tale about a young woman coming to terms with an unresolved past.” —Kirkus Reviews For fans of Joan He and Pittacus Lore comes Leeta Simtar: A Life on Two Planets—the latest book from young adult author Annie Fox about an interspecies hybrid looking to find herself on a new planet. A coming-of-age story that explores the meaning of birth family and found family, Leeta Simtar shows readers how breaking out of the past can help us figure out where we’re going next. Leeta Simtar isn’t the only interspecies hybrid on the planet Fure, though she is, without a doubt, noticeably different from all the others. Not only is she impossibly tall and wildly unpredictable, she leads with her feelings, in contrast to everyone else’s steady calm and logical demeanor. When Leeta’s offended, she rages and attacks. When something touches her deeply, she gushes and weeps. No wonder she has always believed something’s wrong with her, because clearly, she doesn’t belong on Fure. When Leeta suddenly finds out that what she’s believed about herself is a lie, she is more than ready to discover the truth. Since no one on Fure is talking, her only hope is to go rogue and find her own answers. She travels forty light years in search of others like herself—assuming there are others. With just eight days to unearth her origin story, Leeta follows clues that lead her across time and space hoping to find where she truly belongs. Readers of young adult science fiction, speculative/what-if fiction, and coming-of-age stories will connect to Leeta’s intergalactic adventure. They’ll be rooting for her to get what she needs, whether that means returning to Fure armed with the truth, staying in a far away place with her new found family, or finding home within her own heart.

Unemployed and living back at home, Stephen isn’t feeling his greatest. When his mum suggests applying for a job at the hotel in Lediar Park, it seems like a reasonable option, granting him some money and experience while he finds auditions for his dream acting role. He tries not to let the conspiracy theories around Lediar Park bother him… Surely there isn’t a monster roaming the woodland? Ignoring his grandfather’s comical mutterings of old werewolf folklore isn’t too hard. It’s a bit more difficult to avoid the comments about an event that shook the town though: women murdered at the hotel back in the eighties. To some, it was nothing more than a tragic slaughter of innocent women, but to others… It was the price paid for leaving the hotel after dark. With his colleagues playing tricks on him and his grandfather involved in the conspiracy theories, Stephen is about to learn the truth behind Lediar Park — and it’s going to get messy.

Seeking to unravel a reoccurring dream that perplexes her, she visits the mortal realm during the Soul Festival and boards a train to the historical district of Sunlit City. There, in the imperial palace of old Nara, she finds no answers, only more questions as a peculiar girl indulges her with a tale of a disgraced deity and a mortal warlord. Ayame has a bad temper. She slapped the Immortal Emperor's sorceress, and her punishment was to spend a decade on earth as a mortal—a task easier said than done. Nara is amidst its centuries long warring era, the age of the warlords. To navigate this treacherous new world, Ayame befriends a wine-loving, trickster fox spirit, and scrapes by as a servant in the household of one of the greater clans. Toiling day and night, she's made do for five years and dreams of the day she can return home. But war arrives. When death announces itself outside her door, she assumes the identity of a noble and finds herself betrothed to the youngest son of an enemy clan, his father a ruthless warlord. To live, Ayame must play her role, but she soon finds herself dangerously drawn not to her intended husband, but to the infamous warlord himself. In the tumultuous world of a warring empire, trouble is always on the horizon. Betrayals run deep within families and clans, and nothing is as it seems. All Ayame wants is to survive her banishment and return home, yet she may risk it all for a mortal man. A vicious killer, twice her age, nothing is right about him, including his insanely possessive concubine out to get Ayame. She knows it, but can she control her temperament, or will she find herself at odds with yet another court, this time a deadly one?

The queen is a Shield, the archmage a Guard, and bad blood has been brewing for a century. Sofia is a Guard, wed to a count twice her age with three stepdaughters who despise her.

But all changes when the count receives a summons from the queen, requiring all nobility of Fedosia to attend the prince’s birthday. Fedosia is vast, and Sofia travels to the capital with the count and his daughters—an adventure of a lifetime, and she’s excited. The prince is strange, and the throne has its secrets, but true trouble begins when Sofia falls for Aleksei, the captain of the Imperial Sentinels and the queen’s nephew. He’s ten years younger, and worse, he’s a Shield. The archmage is furious, the Royal Cup ends in blood and fire, the count turns up dead, and dark magic sparks war between the houses.

The Kniazhevs and their dragons have ruled for a thousand years, and all they’ve shown Volynia is cruelty and death. Dawn is a thief, a crafty one who can move things with her mind. Swindling card games and making the occasional silver coin disappear, she’s mostly stayed out of trouble—until sorcerers kidnap her brother and task her with the impossible: go to the dragon’s lair and steal a jewel unlike any other. Dragons mean Kniazhev riders, the royal family, and they aren’t kind to her people. Ilya is the bastard prince and the black sheep of the family. A dragonless rider with no friends, he’s in love with a princess betrothed to another. A brothel regular, a drunk, and a scoundrel, he cares for no one until he meets a lowborn woman who reminds him of the princess he’s smitten with. She is a pledge hoping to become a royal guard. She is also a thief named Dawn, and an indecent proposal is all it takes to enlist his help. Their fickle alliance is destined for tragedy when she inevitably betrays him, but in the meantime she can’t take her eyes off the pretty prince who helps her navigate the Volynian court, fraught with treachery and scheming royals. Maybe he’s the treasure she meant to steal, because he isn’t anything like the others. Winter and the Immortality Thief is Book One of the Volynian Tales, a sword and sorcery dark fantasy woven with romance. If talking dragons, an immortal tsar, slow-burn romance full of banter, heaps of violence, a pinch of bad language, and murderous characters with years of trauma and a moral compass missing its needle sound like your kind of fun, this book is for you.

A grave threat looms over the mortal world. The veil that separates the realms has weakened over time, and monsters—Undesirables—claw their way out of the Netherworld to torment the living. What once dwelled in whispered stories now stalks the shadows. The only guard against chaos is balance. Reapers are duty bound to uphold that balance, tasked with guiding mortal souls to the afterlife. Lark secretly dreams of shedding her immortal chains and forging her own path. She’s captivated by the humans and envies their freedom, their passion, their anguish. Her master, Thanar, god of death, forbids this fascination and demands her utmost loyalty. When Lark encounters a mortal whose fire and suffering awakens something in her, she denies fate and saves him, refusing to guide him to his death. To escape Thanar’s wrath, Lark makes a deal with the witch-queen of the Netherworld and is remade as human—trading her power for mortality. She flees through the veil and enters the land of the living, unaware she isn’t the only one freed from the clutches of the Netherworld.
