From the bestselling author of Threads that Bind and Hearts that Cut comes a brand-new compulsive romantasy about a girl obsessed with the dark and the shadowy magical prince she falls in love with, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Laini Taylor. 'A world so unique and addictive that I devoured this in a matter of days. Whimsical prose and a slow burning romance unlike any I've read before.' Alexandra Christo , author of To Kill a Kingdom THE DARK HAS COME ALIVE . . . Six years ago, vicious creatures began to crawl out of the dark crevices of the world, and with it Sascia's fascination with the darkness was born. Now that fascination has become an obsession, and while exploring an area known for its connection to the Darkworld, Sascia - impossibly - pulls out a person from the shadows. But Nugau is no ordinary person, they're the heir to the Darkworld, with one mission . . . to kill Sascia. Except, the second time they meet, Nugau is younger and doesn't recognise Sascia. And the third time, Nugau stumbles out of the darkness with poison running through their veins, expressing their undying love for her. Piecing together the puzzle, Sascia makes two shocking discoveries: the timelines of her world and Nugau's are not linear, and she is inexplicably entangled in a war between humanity and the Dark. But with their worlds at battle, is it worth fighting for each other . . . ? PRAISE FOR MOTH DARK: 'An achingly hopeful, breathtaking love story. It's the sort of book you want to linger in the dark with, and I absolutely loved every moment sunk within its pages.'

Poranek , author of Where the Dark Stands Still 'A lush, breathtaking and wholly unique fantasy, with a devastating star-crossed romance and a world that lifts off the page like a fluttering of moths.'

THE ICONIC CLASSIC, WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE ONE OF THE BBC '100 NOVELS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD' 'A lush celebration of all that it means to be a black female. I love that The Color Purple doesn't try to soften its blows but is also courageous enough to hold on to a wonderfully affirming faith in possibility, in forgiveness and kindness and hope' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 'The Color Purple is my go-to comfort novel. Every single time I read this book, I walk away as a slightly better person than I was when I picked it up' Tayari Jones 'I think that The Color Purple was the first book that made me think that I could try to be a writer - or that made me aware that a young black woman from the South could write about the South' Jesmyn Ward 'I got the book and read it, in one day, when it came out. And then I went back, the next day, and bought every copy they had' Oprah Winfrey A powerful cultural touchstone of modern American literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance and silence through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown. Abused repeatedly by the man she calls 'father', Celie has two children taken away from her and is trapped into an ugly marriage. But then she meets the glamorous Shug Avery, singer and magic-maker - a woman who has taken charge of her own destiny. And gradually Celie discovers the power and joy of her own spirit, freeing her from her past and reuniting her with those she loves. Beloved by generations of readers, The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey towards redemption and love. 'One of the most haunting books you could ever wish to read. It is stunning - moving, exciting and wonderful' Lenny Henry 'The Color Purple needs no category other than the fact that it is superb' Rita Mae Brown 'The great irony about The Color Purple is that it transcends colour. One of the greatest books of all time' Benjamin Zephaniah 'A unique blend of serenity and immediacy that makes your senses ache' Helen Dunmore 'A genuinely mind-expanding book' Patrick Ness 'Indelibly affecting... Alice Walker is a lavishly gifted writer' New York Times 'One of the great books of our time' Essence Magazine 'A work to stand beside literature of any time and place' San Francisco Chronicle

In 1960, burgeoning actress and defiant dreamer Lena Spencer opened asmall, grassroots coffeehouse in the quaint upstate New York town ofSaratoga Springs. Within her then-husband's plan to start the Caffè as ameans for the couple to artistically flourish while 'making enoughmoney to retire in Europe' lay the seed of a more impactful culturalcontribution that would change music history forever. It was a time inAmerica when a coffeehouse could be something more-a focal point for adifferent sort of people, radical new ideas, and notably, emergingartists. Caffè Lena's humble stage regularly welcomed musicians such as ayoung Bob Dylan in 1961, the singer activist Bernice Johnson Reagon in1962, and a pre-'American Pie' Don McLean in 1965. Quickly, Caffè Lenatook its place among the nation's foremost incubators of an Americanfolk movement that inspired a generation of musicians, artists, andthinkers and a country in need of a new vision of equality, freedom, andunderstanding. Fortunately for posterity, camera shutters were often snapping in timeto the music, and so an intimate visual record of Caffè Lena's earlyyears exists. Now, thanks to years of dedicated digging by the CaffèLena History Project-to unearth Lena's secret memoirs, collaboratingwith photographers to identify and rescue mysterious negatives, andcollecting stories from the original artists to highlight thesematerials-the time has come to share this treasure trove of authenticand rare Americana with the world. Caffè Lena: Inside America's Legendary Folk Music Coffeehouse brings more than 200 never before seen, evocative images and stories tothe public. Early 1960s photographs of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger andmodern-day images of Rufus Wainwright and Patty Larkin blend with rarememorabilia and an oral history derived from more than 100 originalinterviews of artists who have graced Caffè Lena's stage over thedecades, including Ani DiFranco, Utah Phillips, Dave Van Ronk, SpaldingGray, and other luminaries of the folk, blues, jazz, and theater worlds. This exclusive time capsule chronicling the heyday of Caffè Lena-now the country's oldest continuously operational folk music coffeehouse-provides an insightful look at the many artists whose poetic lyrics cast a mesmerizing spell over a generation, and who remain beloved today.Alongside the release of Caffè Lena: Inside America's Legendary Folk Music Coffeehouse,San Francisco's Tompkins Square label will release the 3-CD box set,'Live at Caffè Lena: Music From America's Legendary Coffeehouse,1967-2013′ on September 24, 2013. 'Caffè Lena holds an important place in the folk and traditional music communities. For me it was the gateway to so many things I hold dear about music.' -Scott Goldman, The GRAMMY Foundation'The story of Caffè Lena is the secret history of the folk-music scene. Lena was a pioneering woman in a man's world and her story needs to be told.' -Holly George-Warren, The Road to Woodstock 'Lena Spencer was a rare person with a shining spirit who created a small world of her own. The magic of her Caffè cannot be analyzed, computerized, or explained.'-David Amram, Musician

'This is going to be huge' Laura Steven, international bestselling author of Our Infinite Fates HEIR OF STORMS is an epic romantasy in the style of TWIN CROWNS and early Sarah J. Maas with a touch of THE HUNGER GAMES. I am the girl who wove the storm that shook the world. And I'm coming for my crown. When Blaze came into the world, she almost drowned it. Blaze, a Rain Singer, is born into one of the most powerful fire-wielding families in the empire. Her birth summoned a devastating storm that resulted in the deaths of thousands, and she has spent her life as an outsider, reviled and feared. When Blaze and her twin brother, Flint, are selected to compete in the Choosing Rite, the trials which decide the future rulers of the empire, she's suddenly thrust into the limelight - and into battle. Threats abound at the Golden Palace, where intrigue and romance await with not one but two handsome suitors: the enchanting Crown Prince and a dangerously alluring newcomer at court. As her powers strengthen and her fellow competitors fall, the throne is suddenly within her grasp. But in order to take the crown, she'll have to leave behind the stories that others have told about her and find the courage to write her own.

It’s a novel—a stand- alone, no less—that seems to have it all: a sympathetic hero, a colorful setting, humor, heart, philosophy, and an epic conflict that relates the complexity and humanity of social justice without heavy-handed storytelling. Soontornvat deftly blends it all together, salting the tale with a dash of magic that enhances the underlying emotions in this masterfully paced adventure. An important book that not only shines a light but also shows young readers how to shine their own. Luminous. —Booklist (starred review) Set in a fantasy analogue of Thailand, all characters are presumed Thai, and Thai life and culture permeate the story in everything from the mangoes Pong eats in prison to the monks he meets beyond the prison's walls. It's also a retelling of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, and Soontornvat has maintained the themes of the original while making the plot and the characters utterly her own. Pong's and Nok's narratives are drawn together by common threads of family, loyalty, and a quest to define right and wrong, twining to create a single, satisfying tale. A complex, hopeful, fresh retelling. —Kirkus Reviews Soontornvat artfully builds up to a triumphant confrontation, weaving in important themes about oppression and civil disobedience along the way. —Publishers Weekly Nuanced questions of morality, oppression, and being defined by one’s circumstances are compounded with exciting action in this novel inspired by Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. The characters are resonant, and the action is enhanced by the fantastical Thailand-like setting. The original storyline and well-developed characters make this a standout novel. ­Highly recommended. —School Library Journal Combining themes of coming-of-age, protest, and the power of freedom, this book will inspire young readers to stand up for their own beliefs as well as those of all people. This is a thought-provoking adventure that will cause readers to ask themselves whether being safe or having freedom is the better option, and if that needs to be a choice at all. —School Library Connection The rich, atmospheric Thai-inspired settings ground Pong and Nok’s journeys toward self-understanding, from bleak Namwon to the peaceful temple Wat Singh to Chattana’s bustling, colorful Light Market...The novel offers satisfying meditations on moral choices as well as age-friendly openings into conversations about prison pipelines, autocracy, and socio-political action. —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Alternating between Pong's and Nok's stories, Soontornvat tells a satisfyingly intricate tale of escape and chase while raising questions about institutionalized injustices of privilege and want. Her Thai-inspired world is fully engaging, but perhaps most winning is the innocence, hope, and humor she conveys in the context of the struggle for social justice and with respect to the children's growth. —The Horn Book A thrilling fantasy, set in a fresh, original world, with a vital message at its heart. A Wish in the Dark is incandescent. —Adam Gidwitz, Newbery Honor–winning author of The Inquisitor’s Tale At once timeless and timely, Christina Soontornvat’s A Wish in the Dark is a richly imagined portrait of the power of hope, courage, and compassion to shine a light in dark times and the ability of small people to effect great change. Ingenious, captivating, and utterly gorgeous. —Anne Ursu, National Book Award–nominated author of The Real Boy Do you hear the people sing? Christina Soontornvat’s Les Misérables-inspired A Wish in the Dark will have readers cheering for Pong, the young boy who escapes a life of unfair imprisonment, discovers the powers of friendship and forgiveness, and raises his voice against oppression. I was swept away by the Thai setting, the Buddhist teachings of Father Cham, and the sheer grit and determination of these young characters. At the heart of this novel, like Victor Hugo’s; are the struggle for justice and the power of marginalized
