WELCOME TO A WORLD DIVIDED BY BLOOD - RED OR SILVER . . .
The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers.
To Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red thief from the poverty-stricken Stilts where the only possible future is conscription into the empire's endless war, it seems like nothing will ever change, especially now her brothers and her best friend have all been called up to spill their blood for their oppressor.
Then she finds herself recruited to work in the Silver Palace by an enigmatic stranger who turns out to be none other than the crown prince himself, Tiberias Calore. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that she possesses a deadly power of her own - one that threatens to upend their entire world order.
Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to Maven Calore, their future king's brother. Even though she knows one misstep means certain death, Mare still works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, in a desperate guerrilla effort to bring down the Silver regime once and for all.
But this is a world not only of ultimate bloodshed but also of ultimate betrayal, and Mare has been sucked into a dangerous dance - Red against Silver, prince against prince, brother against brother, head against heart . . .
'The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.'

From New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone comes
an all-new upper-middle-grade series based on one of the Marvel
Universe's break-out characters – Shuri, from Black Panther!
An original, upper-middle-grade series starring the break-out
character from the Black Panther comics and films: T'Challa's younger
sister, Shuri! Crafted by New York Times bestselling author

This story follows Shuri as she sets out on a quest to save
her homeland of Wakanda.
For centuries, the Chieftain of Wakanda (the Black Panther) has

Much like Vibranium, the Heart-Shaped Herb is essential to the survival
and prosperity of Wakanda. But something is wrong. The plants
are dying. No matter what the people of Wakanda do, they can't
save them. And their supply is running short.
It's up to Shuri to travel from Wakanda in order to discover
what is killing the Herb, and how she can save it, in the
first volume of this all-new, original adventure.

On his eleventh birthday, schoolboy Magnus Fin found out that he was half selkie -- part human, part seal. Although he looks like a boy and lives on land, he can breathe underwater.
When Magnus Fin discovers his initials scratched into the rocks by the shore and finds dead seals washed up on the beach, he knows his selkie family needs his help, and he dives down beneath the waves to find out more.
The great seal sickness has struck and his grandmother Miranda is dangerously ill. But Magnus Fin is sure there's another reason for their affliction. He sets out to reveal the truth, with just his moonstone, his last baby tooth and some seaweed from Neptune's garden for luck. Little does he know that his best friend Tarkin, who can't swim, is determined to join him on this perilous mission.
This is the exciting sequel to Kelpie Prize-winning Magnus Fin and the Ocean Quest.
