Rosiee Thor

The Lunar Chronicles meets Rook in this queer #OwnVoices science-fantasy novel, perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer and Sharon Cameron. A secret beats inside Anna Thatcher's chest: an illegal clockwork heart. Anna works cog by cog -- donning the moniker Technician -- to supply black market medical technology to the sick and injured, against the Commissioner's tyrannical laws. Nathaniel Fremont, the Commissioner's son, has never had to fear the law. Determined to earn his father's respect, Nathaniel sets out to capture the Technician. But the more he learns about the outlaw, the more he questions whether his father's elusive affection is worth chasing at all. Their game of cat and mouse takes an abrupt turn when Eliza, a skilled assassin and spy, arrives. Her mission is to learn the Commissioner's secrets at any cost -- even if it means betraying her own heart. When these uneasy allies discover the most dangerous secret of all, they must work together despite their differences and put an end to a deadly epidemic -- before the Commissioner ends them first.

Tarnished Are the Stars

In Rosiee Thor's lavish fantasy novel with a Jazz Age spark, a politically savvy teen must weigh her desire to climb the social ladder against her heart in a world where magic buys votes. Flare is power. With only a drop of flare, one can light the night sky with fireworks . . . or burn a building to the ground -- and seventeen-year-old Ingrid Ellis wants her fair share. Ingrid doesn't have a family fortune, monetary or magical, but at least she has a plan: Rise to the top on the arm of Linden Holt, heir to a hefty political legacy and the largest fortune of flare in all of Candesce. Her only obstacle is Linden's father who refuses to acknowledge her. So when Senator Holt announces his run for president, Ingrid uses the situation to her advantage. She strikes a deal to spy on the senator's opposition in exchange for his approval and the status she so desperately craves. But the longer Ingrid wears two masks, the more she questions where her true allegiances lie. Will she stand with the Holts, or will she forge her own path?

A dance to the death. A girl who’s just as monstrous as H.H. Holmes. A hallway that’s constantly changing—and hungry. All of these stories exist in the same place—within the frame of a particular house that isn’t bound by the laws of time and space. Following in the footsteps of dark/horror-filled YA anthologies like His Hideous Heart and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys, and Netflix’s ground-breaking adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House, this YA speculative fiction anthology explores how the permanence of a home can become a space of transition and change for both the inhabitants and the creatures who haunt them. Each story in the anthology will focus on a different room in the house and feature unique takes on monsters from a wide array of cultural traditions. Whether it’s a demonic Trickster, a water-loving Rusalka, or a horrifying, baby-imitating Tiyanak, there’s bound to be something sinister lurking in the shadows.

The House Where Death Lives

The official origin story of LiS fan-favourite Steph Gingrich featuring LGBTQ+ romance, inevitable heartbreak, and the punk-rock beginnings of Drugstore Makeup. "So, what kind of lesbian are you?" "The kind that... likes... girls?" "Same." Setting the stage for her appearance in Life is Strange: True Colors, this official Steph Gingrich novel sheds light on the Drugstore Makeup years and the story of how Steph crash-landed in Haven Springs, Colorado. Steph Gingrich has finally run out of couches to surf. Now she’s back at her dad’s place in Seattle to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Steph fills her time working at the local gamer café during the day and running RPG sessions at night, that is until Izzie whirls into Steph's existence clutching a crumpled stack of band posters. Izzie is electric: a punk, a girl who likes girls, and a hella good guitarist. Turns out the punk life is exactly what Steph needs. She loves the music, the art, and the fashion, but most of all she likes the girl. Entranced, she offers to drum for Izzie, forming the band Drugstore Makeup. A hit in more ways than one, Drugstore Makeup compete in a battle of the bands before deciding to tour the offbeat punk venues of America. But Steph and Izzie soon find themselves on different wavelengths, unable to communicate, and needing different things.

The Meaning of Pride

This House is Haunted

"Und welche Sorte Lesbe bist du?" "Die Sorte, die ... auf ... Frauen steht?" "Ich auch." Irgendwann sind Steph Gingrich die Sofas zum Couch-Surfen ausgegangen. Sie ist nach Seattle ins Haus ihres Vaters zurückgekehrt, um herauszufinden, was sie mit dem Rest ihres Lebens anfangen will. Den Großteil ihrer Zeit verbringt Steph damit, tagsüber im örtlichen Gamer-Café zu arbeiten und bis in die Nacht Rollenspiel-Sitzungen zu leiten – zumindest, bis Izzie mit einem Stapel zerknitterter Bandflyer in ihr Leben stolpert. Izzie ist umwerfend: ein Punk, eine junge Frau, die auf Frauen steht, und eine verdammt gute Gitarristin. Es stellt sich heraus, dass das Punk-Dasein genau das ist, was Steph braucht. Sie liebt die Musik, die Kunst und die Mode, vor allem aber hat es ihr Izzie angetan. Völlig hingerissen bietet sie ihr an, für sie Schlagzeug zu spielen, und gemeinsam gründen sie die Band Drugstore Makeup. Das Ganze ist in mehrerlei Hinsicht ein voller Erfolg und Drugstore Makeup tourt nach der Teilnahme an einem Bandwettbewerb durch die ungewöhnlichsten Punk-Spielorte der USA. Doch schon bald müssen Steph und Izzie feststellen, dass sie nicht ganz auf einer Wellenlänge liegen, außerstande sind, miteinander zu kommunizieren, und dass sie sehr unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse haben.
