It’s 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a rocky wilderness into a chaotic blend of settlements that are part national pride, part corporate conquest. Enter Hunter Graves. After his Dad dies on Earth, Hunter decides to make an unannounced visit to his only other living relatives--his mom and sister who live on Mars. Unfortunately, he arrives at the check-in station moments before a toxin is detected...and he can’t find an escape pod.

Nelle vene di Selly non scorre sangue ma acqua di mare, perciò quando il padre, imbarcatosi un anno addietro, le fa recapitare una lettera in cui le comunica che non tornerà prima di sei mesi e che lei dovrà restare a Kirkpool fino al suo rientro, la delusione e la rabbia prendono il sopravvento. Di certo, l'ultima cosa che lei ha voglia di fare è aspettarlo tutto l'inverno con le mani in mano. Peccato però che il suo piano di inseguirlo venga vanificato da un affascinante straniero, che ha marchi verde smeraldo da mago lungo gli avambracci e sul dorso delle mani.

With brilliantly entertaining short stories from beloved young adult authors Amie Kaufman, Melissa Keil, Will Kostakis, Ellie Marney, Jaclyn Moriarty, Michael Pryor, Alice Pung, Gabrielle Tozer, Lili Wilkinson and Danielle Binks, this all-new collection will show the world exactly how much there is to love about Aussie YA.

Gwen has spent the past several years manning the blacksmith’s in place of her father, an open secret in the village in which she lives. A much more covert secret, however, is that she knows not only how to craft but also how to wield a sword, and an incognito stunt at the local jousting tournament manages to catch the eye of the wily Lady Isobelle. Isobelle has secret dreams too, but she’s been promised in marriage to the winner. Desperate to avoid this fate, when she connects the newcomer knight to the female smithy she saw earlier that day, she begins to hatch a scheme…

Gwen is sick of hiding—hiding the fact that she’s taken over her father’s blacksmithing duties, hiding her attraction to girls, hiding her yearning for glory as a knight. Meanwhile, Lady Isobelle of Avington, queen bee of the castle, has never once considered hiding who she is—until now. She’s been chosen as the grand prize in the Tournament of Dragonslayers, to be given to whichever knight can claim her hand. And for the first time in her life, she can’t talk her way out of trouble.

Prince Leander of Alinor boarded a ship to make his family’s traditional pilgrimage to the Isles of the Gods, to strengthen the goddess Barrica. The Mellaceans had other ideas. Only Selly, the prince and I survived from that ship. We fled from Laskia and her crew, were chased across the Crescent Sea, and arrived at the Isles with only moments to spare. There, at the Isle of the Mother, we believed we witnessed Laskia’s death. We were wrong.

Ein göttliches Abenteuer, so aufregend und romantisch, dass man die salzige Gischt des Ozeans auf der Haut spürt... Zwei verfeindete Reiche, zwei Fremde, die sich auf den ersten Blick nicht ausstehen können und zwei Götter, die schlecht gelaunt aus ihrem jahrhundertelangen Schlaf erwachen... Selly hat Salzwasser in den Adern. Als ihr Vater sie auf einem Lehrschiff zurücklässt, um selbst in ein Abenteuer zu segeln, hat sie keinesfalls die Absicht, nur das Deck zu schrubben. Doch noch bevor sie heimlich die Segel setzen und ihrem Vater folgen kann, kapert ein gut aussehender Fremder ihr Schiff.

When Selly and Leander began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain’s daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened. They fell in love. Leander’s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life, and drew the goddess Barrica back from exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander is imbued with her deadly magic, and only Selly’s presence can stop it from consuming him.

Selly has salt water in her veins. So when her father leaves her high and dry in the port of Kirkpool, she has no intention of riding out the winter at home while he sails to adventure in the north seas. But any plans to follow him are dashed when a handsome stranger with tell-tale magician's marks on his arms commandeers her ship under cover of darkness. He is Prince Leander of Alinor, and he needs to cross the Crescent Sea without detection so he can complete a ritual on the sacred Isles of the Gods.

Das fulminante Finale der grandiosen Space Opera und Bestseller-Trilogie! Was passiert, wenn man einen Haufen Loser und Außenseiter bittet, die Galaxie vor einem uralten, übermächtigen Feind zu retten? Der uralte Feind gewinnt natürlich. Moment mal... Nicht. So. Schnell. Als wir Tyler Jones und sein Squad 312 das letzte Mal erlebten, arbeiteten sie perfekt zusammen (oder rasteten aus), während eine intergalaktische Schlacht tobte und eine uralte Superwaffe das Universum zu vernichten drohte. Natürlich ging alles total schief.

Die Außenseiter sind zurück - irgendwie zumindest... Tyler und seine Squad 312 sind zurück, und dieses Mal sind sie auf der Flucht vor so ziemlich jedem in der Galaxie. Nachdem sie in galaktisches Sperrgebiet eingedrungen sind, ist auf sie ein Kopfgeld ausgesetzt. Ihre Hauptaufgabe besteht aber nicht nur darin, sich selbst zu retten, sondern auch ihre blinde Passagierin Aurora. Diese muss lernen, ihre übernatürlichen Kräfte zu nutzen und ihr Schicksal zu erfüllen. Denn Aurora hat als Einzige den Zugang zu einer Wunderwaffe, die die Zerstörung der Galaxie verhindern kann.

Nimh still holds on to her divinity, if only by a thread. In her final confrontation with Inshara, the woman determined to take her place and rule Nimh’s kingdom, both Nimh and her enemy were sent to the world above, in the cloudlands. Now North looks to the sky, left behind on the surface world. Desperate for a chance to join the girl he loves and save his world, North will stop at nothing to find a way back to his home in the sky-city of Ciel. Before it’s too late to save anyone.

Prince North’s home is in the sky, in a gleaming city held aloft by intricate unknown technology. But North believes his sky island is sinking. Its engines are failing, and the key to saving his home is to venture to the place the engines were first created. Nimh is the living goddess of her people on the surface, responsible for providing answers, direction - hope. But in the midst of the surface’s worst crisis yet, a mist that spreads madness and poison, doubts have arisen among the people about Nimh’s divinity.

Tyler, frisch ausgebildeter Musterschüler der besten Space Academy der ganzen Galaxie, freut sich auf seinen ersten Auftrag. Als sogenannter Alpha steht es ihm zu, sein Team zusammenzustellen - und er hat vor, sich mit nichts weniger als den Besten zufrieden zu geben. Tja, die Realität sieht anders aus: Er landet in einem Team aus Losern und Außenseitern.

When we last saw Squad 312, they working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally.

AIDAN is the AI you'll love to hate. The advanced AI system was supposed to protect a fleet of survivors who'd escaped the deadly attack on Kerenza IV. AIDAN was supposed to be infallible. But in the chaotic weeks and months that followed, it became clear that something was terribly, terribly wrong with AIDAN....

Best-selling authors Amie Kaufman and Ryan Graudin invite listeners into a wondrous world where lost things are found, and where two cousins must come face-to-face with the impossible.

Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza - but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion? Meanwhile Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance.

With adults on both sides looking for them, they’ve sought refuge in Cloudhaven, a forbidden stronghold that could hold the key to saving their home. Meanwhile, Holbard has been ravaged, and its citizens are reeling. Many have been forced into bleak camps outside the city, and food is running short.

The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. Star pupil Tyler Jones is ready to recruit the squad of his dreams, but his own boneheaded heroism sees him stuck with the dregs nobody else in the academy would touch....
