Discover a new dark age—and the one girl wielding the light of truth—in a tale “with threads from The Hunger Games, The Giver, and other dystopian novels” (Booklist). For more than a hundred years, no maiden from Aerie has competed in the arduous Testing, but after Eva’s twin brother dies, she is determined to fulfill his dream of participating in the all-male competition, and enters despite her parents’ wishes. With the help of Lukas, her family’s servant from the Boundary lands, Eva learns the ways of the outcasts who live in the brutal and icy world beyond Aerie. She discovers the secrets of the blinding white landscape, the dogs who pull her sled, and the chasms that house the strange relics once worshipped by a godless humanity. This knowledge is exactly what she needs to survive—and win—the harsh trials of the Testing. Leaving the safety of Aerie behind gives Eva a chance to realize how strong she can be in the face of adversity—and how brave she’ll have to become in a society built on the shifting snows of lies . . . “Heather Terrell excavates a richly realized and adventurous world from the iced-over wreck of our own.” —William Alexander, National Book Award–winning author of Goblin Secrets “Part post-apocalyptic fiction and part high fantasy . . . Delicately weaving in elements of Inuit culture as well as elements you might find in Game of Thrones, Heather Terrell creates a world that is as intricate as it is icy . . . A page-turner.” —E.

In the most ancient of days visitors from the stars came to the earth. During the first age of man they walked the earth with the race called Adam; teaching them the basic elements of science and civilization. Through the centuries, myth and legend reflected an ancient but incomplete understanding of these events. Throughout the ages artifacts have been discovered that point to a glorious history in the ancient past; and perhaps an uncertain future. A strange tablet unearthed in the 1930's by a German archaeological team may be the key to unlocking the mystery of the origin of man. The artifact is discovered to be a powerful example of extra terrestrial technology that leads Dr. Samuel Enoch to a mysterious object on the outer fringe of the solar system. Will this discovery lead to the extinction of humanity? Or will it save our world from certain destruction?

A “vigorous and vivid and feisty” portrait of a traditional Scottish subculture from an insider (Dundee Courier & Advertiser). Scottish gypsies, known as travellers, have wandered Scotland’s roads and byways for centuries, and their turbulent history is captured in this passionate book by Jess Smith, the bestselling author of Jessie’s Journey. This is less a conventional history than a personal pilgrimage through the stories, songs, and culture of a people for whom freedom is more important than security and a campfire under the stars is preferable to a warm hearth within stone walls. Settled society has always discriminated against travellers, and Jess tells shocking stories of bullying, violence, the enforced break-up of families, and separate schooling. But drawing on her own and her family’s experiences, she also captures the magic and drama of days wandering the roads and working the land, and brings to life the travellers’ rich and vibrant traditions.

The Banshee and the Wraith. They have the power to save the world—or destroy it. In a place unlike any other, two brothers set off an ancient, epic, and never-ending battle. This world is controlled by the Necromancers and Reapers—one side pulls people back up through the earth, and the other cuts them down again. One ancient family, the Laheys, have been tasked again and again with keeping the balance between the worlds. And Nyx Lahey, born a Necromancer, but raised a Reaper, is on the front lines. Lately, though, Nyx is wrestling with her identity as she’s thrown into an adventure filled with prophecies and the kind of danger you can cut down with a giant scythe. While chasing a creature that’s killing young girls, Nyx runs headlong—and gun drawn—into Erebus Salem. A hunter who has the ability to turn into a raven to escape danger, Erebus also harbors a secret: he’s not alive. He lives in Dewmort, a world in-between, where the souls of the dead reside, and where memory is all but erased. With no memory of who he is, his only connection to the past is a locket which ends up in Nyx’s hands. Determined to get it back, Erebus and his friends set watch on the Laheys, but they aren’t the only ones. Other beings are lurking in the shadows. They know the truth about Erebus and Nyx. They know that the pair are the Relics, the only two powerful beings in the world capable of taking down the greatest evils known to any kind. Soon, Nyx and Erebus become the hunted, and must try and escape the evil plans of the war lord, Bellum. Bellum wants the Relics for his own purposes. He needs them to raise his father, the original Necromancer, Neco. With his father by his side, Bellum believes he can rule the world—all of them—and destroy the Reapers once and for all. Can Nyx and Erebus master their new found powers, and even if they do, can they survive?
