A tale of two vampires in the Twin Cities…
When Cecily Bain, an enforcer for the Twin Cities’ vampiric elite, takes a mysterious new vampire, Alejandra, under her wing, she’s dragged into an insidious conspiracy. After learning a disturbing fact about her fake childe’s past, Cecily must keep her secrets close, and Ali at arm’s length. As she searches the streets of the Twin Cities for answers, a terrifying possibility surfaces: perhaps Ali has learned the ways of the Kindred better than Cecily herself. Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the cities, Colleen Pendergrass, embraced by her husband against her will, and a rebellious found-family of vampire cast-outs investigates a vicious killing.
As the unlives of the Kindred twine together and betrayals are unearthed, will Cecily be able to escape and save what’s left of her family, or will she be yet another pawn sacrificed to maintain the age-old secret: that vampires exist among the living?

For over a century, werewolves of the Twin Cities have protected their blessed places from threats both physical and spiritual. When vampires under Cecily’s rule move in on one of these precious sites, it’s a declaration of war, one that Tyrell ‘the Stainless’ Stinar and his ferocious pack will avenge at any cost, even if that includes slaying one of their own.The immortal enmity between the Kindred and the Garou comes to a head on the streets of the Twin Cities!

About The Book:
For fans of Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese and Svetlana Chmakova’s Awkward, this funny yet poignant middle-grade coming-of-age story highlights the struggle of feeling invisible while yearning to be seen by all.
Kevin Lee is having a really bad week. Although he lives in a crowded Toronto apartment above the family’s alterations and dry-cleaning store, he mostly goes unnoticed. Dad has been MIA since the divorce. Mom works nonstop. He and his sister, Betty, just don't seem to get along anymore. Then there's PoPo (his grandma), who moved from China to look after them all. She's full of wisdom but calls him Zhu Zhu ("Little Pig") and is totally embarrassing.
School isn’t exactly an oasis either. There, Kevin is known as “Egg Boy” and often finds himself at the mercy of school bully (and budding crush) Lilly. When Kevin’s class plans a trip to Wonderland, a spectacular new theme park, will he finally have a chance to turn his life around, or will it just be another day for Kevin Lee?
In this debut middle-grade graphic novel, cartoonist and animator Ray Xu tells a semi-autobiographical tale, with gorgeous, painterly coloring and expressive, manga-like cartooning that captures the poignancy and humor of being a 10-year-old. And when Kevin’s imagination and budding artistic visions take center stage, Xu’s storytelling changes from muted realism to a flashy science fiction comic-book style. Readers ages 8 to 12 will appreciate how the boundaries between realistic fiction and the imagination are shown to be thin indeed.

Fleeing the bloody machinations of the After Lord's dark cult, Animkii and Mica embark on a perilous odyssey that takes them out of the dystopian depths of the undercity and into the remote and icy WItherlands.

About The Book:
“They will make you a mother of monsters . . .”
A village built on ancient promise. A woman destined to run.
The old ways are crumbling. Every spring, a new sacrifice is chosen—a Spring Maid bred to
seed the future of the village through a ritual before being led to the foreboding woods. But this
season will mark the end of a barbaric tradition and the birth of something even more horrifying.
There’s a war coming—one of gods and giants. The Spring Maid has been chosen by a force far greater than her to be the mother of great warriors.
Destiny has forged a path of bloodshed, and she is the center of it all, willingly or not.
But she is no Spring Maid, no sacrifice to be made.
She is Berja.
