"A beautiful portrait of a family reaching for their dreams while holding on to their roots."—Publishers Weekly
"Each chapter reads like a small masterpiece."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
An exciting debut novel that gives voice to the diverse residents of a Palestinian American community in Baltimore—from young activists in conflict with their traditional parents to the poor who clean for the rich—lives which intersect across divides of class, generation, and religion.
Funny and touching, Behind You Is the Sea brings us into the homes and lives of three main families—the Baladis, the Salamehs, and the Ammars—Palestinian immigrants who’ve all found a different welcome in America.
Their various fates and struggles cause their community dynamic to sizzle and sometimes explode: The wealthy Ammar family employs young Maysoon Baladi, whose own family struggles financially, to clean up after their spoiled teenagers. Meanwhile, Marcus Salameh confronts his father in an effort to protect his younger sister for “dishonoring” their name. Only a trip to Palestine, where Marcus experiences an unexpected and dramatic transformation, can bridge this seemingly unbridgeable divide between the two generations.
Behind You Is the Sea faces stereotypes about Palestinian culture head-on and, shifting perspectives to weave a complex social fabric replete with weddings, funerals, broken hearts, and devastating secrets.

About the book
Do not fear the shadows, but what lives inside them.
When Ludo Vica was only eight years old, he lost his twin brother and his eye when a horrific fire turned his village to ash. The last thing he remembers is a dark figure, wreathed in flames, stalking toward his childhood home. His brother, Gado, was still inside.

In the two decades that have passed since that fateful night, Ludo's every waking moment has been focused on the only thing he has left to live for: revenge. So when the Fire Eater escapes, Ludo is determined to hunt him down and avenge his brother's death, a path that leads him into the shadows and mysteries of Lostwood.
What awaits him in the shadows will change everything.

Ten years of friendship.
On the Same Page
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
Ten years of friendship. One holiday party mistake. Riley always thought she knew exactly what Gianna Mäkinen meant to her—until now. This slow-burn, friends-to-lovers queer romance is full of wit, longing, and that delicious ache of realizing the person who’s always been there might be everything. Click now for a story of identity, intimacy, and what happens when everything changes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Riley Beckett met Gianna Mäkinen their first year at Boston University—trilingual, sex-positive, influencer royalty, and the best friend who turned her world upside down. For the last decade, Riley’s life has revolved around Gianna’s: same friend group, same rhythms, same late-night phone calls that mean everything and nothing.
And sure, Gianna doesn’t do romance. Or relationships. That’s never been a problem… until one holiday party mistake leaves Riley reeling, and suddenly, the lines she thought were permanent start to blur.
As Riley tries to navigate the space between comfort and chaos, she must confront the question she’s never dared to ask: What if the love of her life has been right beside her all along?
This is queer, friends-to-lovers angst—with heart, heat, and holiday mayhem.

About the book
A fated mate. A forbidden bond. A destiny that could destroy them both.
Born to be a leader, I’ve spent my life under my father’s shadow, constantly told I’m not enough to lead our pack. When I leave for college, it’s more than a fresh start—it’s my one shot to prove him wrong.
But fate has a twisted sense of humor. On day one, I meet him. My mate.
He’s everything I’ve dreamed of… and everything I’m forbidden to have. Our bond is undeniable, our connection electric—but claiming him could tear apart everything I’ve ever known.
Now, I must choose: my heart or my duty. And with war brewing between loyalty and love, one misstep could cost me my future… or my life.
Some mates are worth the risk. But is he?
