About the book
“A memoir as wild, engaging, stubborn, and authentic as that distant valley where [Cobb’s] family staked out the last plot in America.” —John Balzar, author of Yukon Alone
In 1973, Norma Cobb, her husband Lester, and their five young children left the comforts of the lower 48 to claim a plot of land under the Homestead Act—one of the last available, deep in Alaska’s unforgiving interior. Facing brutal winters, prowling grizzlies, and ruthless neighbors willing to burn them out or steal their land, the Cobbs quickly learned that the Alaskan frontier was as dangerous as it was beautiful.
Arctic Homestead is Norma Cobb’s incredible true story of resilience, survival, and the unbreakable bonds of family. Against all odds, Cobb’s courage and determination shine through, making this memoir a testament to the pioneering spirit and the strength of a mother’s love.

WINNER OF THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, LIBRARY JOURNAL, BOOKLIST, AND THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
A ruthless princess and a powerful priestess come together to rewrite the fate of an empire in this “fiercely and unapologetically feminist tale of endurance and revolution set against a gorgeous, unique magical world” (S. A. Chakraborty, author of the The City of Brass).
Exiled by her despotic brother, princess Malini spends her days dreaming of vengeance while imprisoned in the Hirana: an ancient cliffside temple that was once the revered source of the magical deathless waters but is now little more than a decaying ruin.

When Malini witnesses Priya’s true nature, their destinies become irrevocably tangled. One is a ruthless princess seeking to steal a throne. The other a powerful priestess desperate to save her family. Together, they will set an empire ablaze.

About the book
A world of dark magic, deadly bargains, and dangerous love awaits in the Crow realm, where a defiant pirate becomes a queen—or a casualty.
Twenty-year-old Wolayna Milevishja has spent nine long months rotting in a prison cell, promised a fate worse than death. When her sentence finally arrives, she’s dragged not to her execution, but across the veil into the haunting lands of the fae—delivered as this year’s bride to the cold, merciless Crow King.
There’s just one problem.: no human bride ever survives the Crow realm.
Bound by a ruthless marriage pact, Wolayna must outwit a court seething with secrets and survive a kingdom crawling with monsters. Even more dangerous is King Myron himself: cruel, captivating, and hiding wounds that cut as deep as her own.
But something ancient and vengeful is waking in the dark, and the treacheries of the palace are only the beginning. As forbidden desires ignite and Wolayna unravels the mysteries of her new world, she discovers a chilling truth—she may be the key to saving the realm… or destroying it.
With her freedom, her heart, and her life on the line, Wolayna must gamble everything to outsmart fate before it swallows her whole.
WINGS OF INK fuses enemies-to-lovers tension, lush magic, and razor-sharp intrigue into a sizzling fantasy perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, From Blood and Ash, and Beauty and the Beast.

Finalist for the 2010 Man Booker Prize • New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year
Told in the sharp, defiant voice of Miss July, The Long Song is an unforgettable tale of survival, resilience, and the end of slavery in 1830s Jamaica.
