Book excerpt: Katt soared down the zipline from her treehouse with Mariah, the lioness, running below in her shadow along the deep soft green forest floor. Feeling like she was flying, her senses took in the beauty of her world where all forms of life thrived together in peace and harmony. Inheriting the Guardianship of this magical world when Katt was so young didn't change the fact that she was responsible for protecting it. For centuries the creatures have trusted the Vindexa Clan Guardians to keep them and their world safe from the outside "regular" world's intrusions. But nothing is as certain as change. Will Katt be able to fully understand, embrace, and grow with inevitable changes? Can she protect her world, or will it be overcome, spoiled by sudden intrusions and events coming one after the other? Can she do this without resorting to violence? She must prevail, the peace and harmony must be preserved. But her abilities are still developing, how evolved will she become? Her world believes in her. Welcome to Veridesia.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune invites you back to the land of Verania in a new collection of short stories starring the beloved characters from the Tales of Verania series. In the opening story--The Unicorn in the Tower--Gary is a princess trapped in a stone tower by the evil Lady Tina DeSilva, who plans on sacrificing him on the first full moon after his eighteenth birthday. With help from his friends--a bird named Tiggy and a mangy weasel called Sam--Gary interviews potential suitors to rescue him and love him above all others, as he so rightly deserves. The Unicorn in the Tower is followed by Sam and the Beanstalk, wherein a poor farm boy exchanges his family's bull for magical beans and the promise of treasure in the sky. But when he climbs the beanstalk, Sam finds things are not as he expected them to be. The Good Boy sees Todd and his immaculate ears taking center stage. When Todd's father dies, he leaves his son in the care of his evil stepmother and two stepsiblings who live to make Todd's life a living hell. It's not until the household receives an invitation to attend a ball for the mysterious Sir that Todd begins to wish for a life beyond what he knows. David's Dragon, the final--and only canonical--tale, is set a thousand years before the rise of the Dark wizard Myrin. It begins simply: a lonely boy in a small village befriends a dragon. What follows is a story of love and sacrifice, hope and heartbreak, and what it means to earn your place amongst the stars. Welcome back to Verania. It's going to be a hell of a ride.

Book excerpt: "Ship ahoy!" There was an answer from our bark—for such it seemed to me by this time—but I could not make out the words. "Where do you hail from?" was the next question. I strained my ears to catch the response, being naturally anxious to know whence I had come. "From the City of Destruction!" was what I thought I heard; and I confess that it surprised me not a little. "Where are you bound?" was asked in turn. Again I listened with intensest interest, and again did the reply astonish me greatly. "Ultima Thule!" was the answer from our boat, and the voice of the man who answered was deep and melancholy. Then I knew that I had set out strange countries for to see, and that I was all unequipped for so distant a voyage. Thule I knew, or at least I had heard of the king who reigned there once and who cast his goblet into the sea. But Ultima Thule! was not that beyond the uttermost borders of the earth?

On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children. Their adventures take them on a chase through France: they are taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. On the run to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned, their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont Saint-Michel, where all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints. Join William, an oblate on a mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions. They are accompanied by Jeanne's loyal greyhound, Gwenforte . . . recently brought back from the dead. Told in multiple voices, in a style reminiscent of The Canterbury Tales, our narrator collects their stories and the saga of these three unlikely allies begins to come together. Beloved bestselling author Adam Gidwitz makes his long awaited return with his first new world since his hilarious and critically acclaimed Grimm series. Featuring manuscript illuminations throughout by illustrator Hatem Aly and filled with Adam’s trademark style and humor, The Inquisitor's Tale is bold storytelling that’s richly researched and adventure-packed.

Book excerpt: "WOW! I wish I could dream up a story this good!"-J.J. Sedelmaier, Animator (Beavis & Butthead, SNL's Ambiguously Gay Duo) "A wonderfully clever tale, well-told."-Jerry Cleaver, Author of Immediate Fiction. "The power of my fables is legendary-if I may be permitted to say so. They have reformed the criminal, healed the sick, and righted the mentally unbalanced. Why, just last year did I not bring the implacable Blackhouse Ripper to tears of repentance on the eve of his execution, so that he begged to be led to the gallows forthwith? I have fables for every occasion, and this is no exception, believe me." So boasts the Fabulist to the King of Uaxala, who has summoned him to that distant unknown land to improve the character of the Prince. But the Prince has stories of his own to tell, and the Fabulist and his Manservant are drawn into astonishing adventures, including (but not limited to): Cold-blooded revenge; an infinite labyrinth; startling philosophical speculations and disputes that actually move the plot forward; torture by unbearably exquisite caresses; death-duels aboard a pirate ship; an uncharted island inhabited solely by comely young women; gunpowder tattoos; gyascuti farsed with grebes farsed with capons farsed with wrens; imprisonment in a tower; The Excursus of Hermes Trismegistus, as well as the Chema of Chemes; polygamous marriage and jealous wives; potions of invisibility and immobility; a barber of blood. The Tale of the Teller of Tales is a novel of high adventure, low comedy, and disturbing metaphysical insights.

In propulsive language that brilliantly showcases Loory’s vast imagination, Tales of Falling and Flying expands our understanding of how fiction can work and is sure to cement his reputation as one of the most innovative short-story writers working today.
