Their saviors became tyrants. Their safe haven became a prison. And worst of all, most people don't have a clue they should be fighting for their lives. The City, which was once a sanctuary from a ravaging pandemic, has become a prison. With unique ties to one of the Council members, Eason alone has a chance to set everyone free. But the forces that seek to hold The City captive will not be easy to outwit and overcome. Long before Emery crossed the Wall of Fire, Eason was already hard at work undermining the Council and laying the groundwork for the downfall of The City. Finally, Eason has his chance to share all the secrets he's been guarding so closely—about his family, about The City, and about Emery. First Spark is Book 4 in the young adult, dystopian Wall of Fire series. In this prequel told from Eason's perspective, discover what happened in the two years leading up to Emery's heroic rescue of The City and what Eason was really planning when he enlisted Emery's help.

Perfect for readers of Song for a Whale and Counting by 7s, a neurodivergent girl campaigns for a memorial when she learns that her small Scottish town used to burn witches simply because they were different. "A must-read for students and adults alike." -School Library Journal, Starred Review Ever since Ms. Murphy told us about the witch trials that happened centuries ago right here in Juniper, I can’t stop thinking about them. Those people weren’t magic. They were like me. Different like me. I’m autistic. I see things that others do not. I hear sounds that they can ignore. And sometimes I feel things all at once. I think about the witches, with no one to speak for them. Not everyone in our small town understands. But if I keep trying, maybe someone will. I won’t let the witches be forgotten. Because there is more to their story. Just like there is more to mine. Award-winning and neurodivergent author Elle McNicoll delivers an insightful and stirring debut about the European witch trials and a girl who refuses to relent in the fight for what she knows is right.

Named one of the best 25 space opera books by BookRiot! The first book in a scifi retelling of the Mahabrahata. When Esmae wins a contest of skill, she sets off events that trigger an inevitable and unwinnable war that pits her against the family she would give anything to return to. In a universe of capricious gods, dark moons, and kingdoms built on the backs of spaceships, a cursed queen sends her infant daughter away, a jealous uncle steals the throne of Kali from his nephew, and an exiled prince vows to take his crown back. Raised alone and far away from her home on Kali, Esmae longs to return to her family. When the King of Wychstar offers to gift the unbeatable, sentient warship Titania to a warrior that can win his competition, she sees her way home: she’ll enter the competition, reveal her true identity to the world, and help her famous brother win back the crown of Kali. It’s a great plan. Until it falls apart. Inspired by the Mahabharata and other ancient Indian stories, A Spark of White Fire is a lush, sweeping space opera about family, curses, and the endless battle between jealousy and love.
