BATTLES. BLUEBERRIES. BOVINES. Everyone knows the most coveted treasure of the Viking Age was blueberry muffins. Blueberry muffins so succulent that if you sniffed just a whiff, you'd want a whole bite. If you bit a bite, you'd want a batch; if you snatched a batch, you'd stop at nothing short of going to war just to claim them all. Young Torbjorn Trofastsonn comes from the clan that makes them. He's a Viking through and through, he's thirteen winters old, larger than most respectable rocks, and most of all, a Buttersmith. That's what he thinks anyway, until a charismatic merchant makes Torbjorn question his place among the muffin-makers. When Torbjorn lets the secret of his clan's muffin recipe slip, he calls doom and destruction down upon his peaceful village and forces his brother Storfjell and his clansmen to do the one thing they are ill-prepared to do: battle for their lives.

“A riveting YA fantasy set in a Dune-esque universe." ―Preston Norton, #1 bestselling author of Marrow. For nine months of the year, the sands of the Sharani Desert are safe. The genesauri―giant, flying, serpentine monsters who hunt across the desert in enormous packs―lie dormant. The smallest of their kind is able to take down a single man with ease, and the largest is able to swallow entire clans. The people of the desert have always been able to predict the creatures’ appearance, but this year, the genesauri have stopped following the rules. 
 When the genesauri suddenly attack her clan, seventeen-year-old Lhaurel draws a sword in her people’s defense―a forbidden practice for women of any clan―and is sentenced to death by her own people. Chained to a rock and left to be eaten by the next wave of genesauri, Lhaurel is rescued by a mysterious, elusive clan said to curse children at a glance, work unexplainable terrors, and disappear into the sands without a trace. 
 With the fate of the clans hanging in the balance, Lhaurel discovers she possesses a rare and uncontrollable power―one that will be tested as the next deadly genesauri attack looms on the horizon and the clash between clans grows more inevitable by the hour.

Fifty years in space―alone.
Ethan Bryant was supposed to fall asleep on a ship leaving Earth and wake up fifty years later with his family on the planet Minea. Instead, after the ship’s caretaker―the lone human in charge of monitoring the ship’s vital systems―suddenly died, the ship’s computer locked Ethan out of his stasis chamber and gave him the job. That was five years ago. Five years of checking to make sure everything runs smoothly on a ship Ethan knows almost nothing about.
 Who wouldn’t dread the years ahead? Who wouldn’t long for their once-bright future now stolen away?
 Ethan is resigned to his fate until the ship suddenly wakes up another passenger: a beautiful engineer who, along with Ethan, soon discovers a horrible secret―a navigation room hidden from even the ship’s computer. The ship is not bound for Minea―but to somewhere far more dangerous.
 With the ship nearing its sinister destination, Ethan soon learns he is the only one who holds the key to saving all 4,000 passengers from a highly-advanced, hostile alien race.
