The Chimera's Curse
Julia Golding
Young Adult / Children's
Connie Lionheart is the only Universal Companion, able to communicate with all of the mythical creatures hidden in our world. She’s the most important member of the secret society sworn to protect the bonds between humans and creatures. But the shape-shifter Kullervo wants to use her power to wipe out humanity. Connie must stop him, but how? There are no simple answers in the exciting conclusion to this award-winning eco-fantasy series by a Nestlé Prize-winning author. *"Come to the mark. Come to me. You know you must. Connie surfaced from sleep, struggling like a swimmer caught in weeds, thrashing to reach air. When she woke, she found the bedclothes twisted around her. She threw them off and sat up to gulp some water from the glass on her bedside table, her handshaking slightly. The voice had crept into her dreams again: the voice of Kullervo, the shape-shifter, her enemy—and her companion creature. He said the same thing each time, repeating the message again and again so that she could hear its echo during the daylight hours as well as in the stillness of the night. She knew where he wanted her to go: he wanted her to meet him at the mark he had made deep in her mind, the breach in the wall between her and his dark presence. But she would not give in to him." *

Chimera Skies
Sharlene Healy
It was her life or my freedom. I drove away from my siblings with a plan to return and help them find our parents. When I held Pearl in my arms as I carried her toward Bunker 3, I knew that I couldn't leave her to die. She needed a hospital, fast. At the hospital, the staff kept asking questions that I couldn't answer. In desperation, I contacted the leader of Bunker 3 and knew that I sealed my fate. One way or the other, I was going back to Bunker 3. I was right; as soon as Pearl was discharged, we were whisked underground. I thought it was bad being stuck in Bunker 3. That the worst I'd have to face was boredom. When Norman found me, I learned exactly how wrong I was. He was always around, always there. Eventually, he made me an offer that I couldn't resist. My choices had consequences that I couldn't stop. I looked in the mirror and didn't even recognize myself. One thing's for sure, I knew without a doubt not even Pearl could save me now. Chimera...

Caleb Wachter
The destruction of H.E. One and the Massacre at Philippa were only the opening salvos in the war for the Chimera Sector, and now Jericho and Masozi must race against time to execute the most significant Adjustment in the Sector's history since the conclusion of the Forge Wars two centuries earlier. But before they can take up arms in accordance with the First Right, they will need to submit to a tribunal conducted by their peers which will determine their readiness to play their part in putting an end to the chaos. If they fail, the situation will spiral out of control and the outcome may plunge the Sector a dark abyss from which it might never emerge. Even if they successfully navigate the tribunal, they will need to call on allies both new and old in order to stand a chance of discharging their duty. Battle lines will be drawn throughout the Sector, and everything Jericho and Masozi do while pursuing the Blanco Adjustment will have a widespread impact on shaping the forces which will compete for the Sector's future. Will it be enough to safeguard their fellow citizens' freedom, or will the erosive forces of tyranny succeed in destroying the very mechanisms which have provided for the Sector's unthinkable success after the wormhole's collapse?**

Stephie Walls
I couldn’t be anything other than a romantic at heart — it’s my nature, it’s who I am. But this isn’t a typical story of traditional love. It isn’t a fairy tale. No happily ever after neatly tied up with a shiny bow. It’s a memoir of the reality left behind in the wake of grief — the desolation, the resurrection, and final culmination life offers to the fallen. This is a journey through love…the love of self, love of a friend, and sometimes love is ugly, messy —destructive. My name is Bastian Thames…and this is my story. **
