Book excerpt: Always read the fine print. This is especially true of fairy godmothering contracts that cannot be destroyed, transferred, or terminated. In all her years as a fairy godmother, Nerissa has only failed to help one girl, Mara, find her Happily Ever After. Twice. But the third time’s a charm—or it had better be, since the contract she has with Mara is still in force. Unfortunately, Mara is plotting to reunite the Elwythian Empire—something that could kill them all if it doesn’t drain all the magic out of the land. But Mara won’t listen to reason, and even worse, she has captured the legendary Firebird and is using his magic to bring about her nefarious plan. Nerissa must make a choice between fulfilling her contract and saving the innocent girl Mara used to be, or rescuing the Firebird who not only created half of the world, but most of the magic as well. Firespell is a retelling of Swan Lake. Series Order: Catspell (#1) Firespell (#2) Applespell (#3) Frogspell (#4) Trollspell (#5)

The master puppeteer, Gaspare Grisini, is so expert at manipulating his stringed puppets that they appear alive. Clara Wintermute, the only child of a wealthy doctor, is spellbound by Grisini’s act and invites him to entertain at her birthday party. Seeing his chance to make a fortune, Grisini accepts and makes a splendidly gaudy entrance with caravan, puppets, and his two orphaned assistants. Lizzie Rose and Parsefall are dazzled by the Wintermute home. Clara seems to have everything they lack — adoring parents, warmth, and plenty to eat. In fact, Clara’s life is shadowed by grief, guilt, and secrets. When Clara vanishes that night, suspicion of kidnapping falls upon the puppeteer and, by association, Lizzie Rose and Parsefall. As they seek to puzzle out Clara’s whereabouts, Lizzie and Parse uncover Grisini’s criminal past and wake up to his evil intentions. Fleeing London, they find themselves caught in a trap set by Grisini’s ancient rival, a witch with a deadly inheritance to shed before it’s too late. Newbery Medal winner Laura Amy Schlitz’s Victorian gothic is a rich banquet of dark comedy, scorching magic, and the brilliant and bewitching storytelling that is her trademark.

Book excerpt: The Sceptre of Fire is an old school fantasy romp: it’s got elves, dwarves, orcs, necromancers, and a campy mage. But there’s a twist—a pretty big one. The orcs? They’re not really the bad guys. The necromancer? Yeah, he’s got history. And the knights in shining armour aren’t always noble… The necromancer was once a pretty decent guy: he killed pirates on the high seas and did his duty as an Empire subject. But he loved another man, and for that, he had to be punished. Now driven by an insatiable thirst for revenge, he has turned to dark magic—and enlisted the help of orcs. The orcs have their own, very good reasons to hate the Empire. Driven out from the Empire lands and into a freezing, inhospitable territory, the orcs know that hunger is a stronger motivator than most. Opposing him are Radu, a mad mage with a penchant for boys and fashion, along with Haraldur—a talented dwarven mage smith. At first they care little for a distant conflict, but things escalate once the necromancer, in desperation, makes a pact with an ancient entity…

Book excerpt: Control the Ink, Control the World Fresh off his alliance with the dragon hunters and defeat of Farston Leamina, Baz rushes back to Erstwhile with dire tidings for his brother—the Indomitable Army is on its way to crush the upstart government he’s established there. Of course, as soon as Baz arrives, things start to go south. Erstwhile remains in ruins from the Battle of the Book Dragons, and Tax seems to have spent more time plotting assassinations than building a new society. Then Baz is arrested. Life in Erstwhile hasn’t been easy since it was laid to waste by the Book Dragons. Before that, Annel was just an angry youth seeking retribution for the wrongs done to her by an uncaring society. Then Oges was killed and Baztian left her in charge of Erstwhile’s rebel underground. She hates Baztian for that—Annel had doubts aplenty before she had the lives of hundreds of people to worry over. Forget rebellion, it’s been difficult enough keeping everyone fed. Compounding matters are the scars of her past, which linger just below the surface and threaten to ruin everything. When the Conservators attack, Baz and Annel begrudgingly unite to give the rebellion a fighting chance. Their plan? An audacious heist, one they hope will net them the key to creating new Spoken Books. But their strategy holds dilemmas aplenty. Annel must face the man who ruined her childhood and still haunts her memories, while Baz is pitted against Leanna, the woman he loves and leader of his enemies. Return to the land of Oration and discover if Baz and Annel can overcome their demons and save Oration’s rebellion from annihilation!
