The Problem with Prophecies: Volume 1

"A sweet yet deeply moving portrait of the highs and lows involved in finding one's place in a wildly unpredictable world." —Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin A young seer's first prophetic vision upends her life and sets her off on a desperate quest to change fate in this contemporary fantasy middle grade novel with "heart, humor, and a plot that keeps those pages flying" (Carlos Hernandez, award-winning author of the Sal and Gabi series). Most people inherit eye colors or heirlooms, but for Celia Cleary, the gift of prophecy has been passed down in her family for generations. And on the 4,444th day of her life, Celia will have her first vision. But nothing could have prepared her for what she sees—the quiet boy down the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die. Determined to save him despite her grandmother's warnings against it, Celia alters events to stop her vision from playing out. But for each prophecy she avoids, another one takes its place, putting Jeffrey in constant danger. Fate has made its choice, and it's not giving up the hunt. Focusing on homework or friends isn't easy when you're going head-to-head with death, and keeping Jeffrey Johnson alive is throwing Celia's seventh grade year into chaos. It doesn't help that she's getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. It really doesn't help when she realizes she kind of likes him. Will Celia's gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life inevitable?

The Singing Shore I: Sea and Song (The Zemnian Series: Dasha's Story, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

"A passionate coming-of-age story."-Kirkus Reviews Finalist, Indies Today Book Awards All magical gifts are wild. The seer's gift is the wildest of all. Dasha, Tsarinovna of all of Zem', was expected to have great magical gifts. Why else would the gods have arranged her conception? But instead of anything useful, Dasha's gifts first manifested themselves as visions of terror and destruction. Then, just when it seemed she might be gaining some control over them, they abandoned her entirely. That's unfortunate, because Dasha could really use some guidance right now. She's volunteered to be her people's envoy to the Rutsi, their warlike neighbors to the West. Dasha wants to make peace with the Rutsi, but the only way they want to make peace with her is by conquest-or marriage. Dasha leaves behind her home and everything she knows on a dangerous journey to treat with the Rutsi. As she travels through a new land, she discovers new powers, new dangers, and the oldest magic of all-love. Dasha's gift is wild, but she's about to find out that the heart is wilder still. Her exploration of forbidden passion and forbidden magic might be the key that unlocks all her untapped promise as the strongest sorceress of her generation-or it could be the weapon that destroys her and everything she cares about. A high fantasy saga that combines spiritual exploration with a touch of spicy romance, The Singing Shore I: Sea and Song is the first installment in the trilogy sequel to the award-winning miniseries The Breathing Sea. If you loved the Winternight trilogy, The Wolf and the Woodsman, and the Kushiel series, or you just want to immerse yourself in some subversive, snarky epic fantasy set in a matriarchal, Slavic-inspired world, come visit the land of Zem'!
