The Prince and the Coyote
by David Bowles1418 – Pre-Columbian MexicoFifteen-year old crown prince Acolmiztli wants nothing more than to see his city-state of Tetzcoco thrive. A singer, poet, and burgeoning philosophical mind, he has big plans about infrastructure projects and cultural initiatives that will bring honor to his family and help his people flourish. But the two sides of his family, the kingdoms of Mexico and Acolhuacan, have been at war his entire life – after his father risked the wrath of the Tepanec emperor to win his mother's love.When a power struggle leaves his father dead and his mother and siblings in exile, Acolmiztli must run for his life, seeking refuge in the wilderness. After a coyote helps him find his way in the wild, he takes on a new name – Nezahualcoyotl, or "fasting coyote" ("Neza" for short).Biding his time until he can form new alliances and reconnect with his family, Neza goes undercover, and falls in love with a commoner girl, Sekalli. Can Neza survive his plotting uncles' scheme to wipe out his line for good? Will the empire he dreams of in Tetzcoco ever come to life? And is he willing to risk the lives of those he loves in the process?This action-packed tale blends prose and poetry – including translations of surviving poems by Nezahualcoytl himself, translated from classical Nahuatl by the author. And the book is packed with queer rep – queer love stories, and a thoughtful of pre-Columbian understandings of gender that defy the contemporary Western gender binary.From Pura Belpré honoree David Bowles comes a young adult epic about one of the greatest minds of the Americas (honored to this day on Mexico's 100-peso bill).

The Prince of Shadow (Volume One of Seven Brothers)
by Curt BenjaminFrom the book jacket: This first novel in a magnificent new fantasy series draws upon the rich legends, cultures, and traditions of the East to create an epic tale of kingdoms invaded, nobles enslaved, a young man's desperate quest to find the family snatched from him by war, and his determination to face the challenge of a destiny which may be beyond any mortal's power to fulfill.... Llesho was only seven when the Hamn invaded his family's mountain kingdom of Thebin. His guards slaughtered before his eyes, he was carried off and sold into slavery on Pearl Island, as far as he knew the sole survivor of his royal family. As with most young Thebin captives, he was trained as a pearl diver, a life with which he had to be content, for as he had been told time and again there was no escaping Pearl Island. When Llesho was ten, the old man called Lleck appeared on the island and secretly began to undertake the boy's education. Everyone assumed Lleck was his real father, and Llesho never revealed the old scholar's true identity as a trusted adviser to the former king of Thebin. But at fifteen Llesho's life was forever changed. For Lleck's spirit, released by death, visited the boy while he worked the pearl beds in the ocean depths and revealed his true destiny to him. All six of his older brothers were still alive, though each, it was rumored, had been sold into slavery in distant lands. Llesho must win his freedom, find and rescue his brothers, and with their help raise an army against the evil Ham, reclaiming his homeland from these seemingly undefeatable conquerors. However, the only way a pearl diver ever found freedom was in death, and so Llesho did the unthinkable. He petitioned his lord to be trained as a gladiator, thus taking the first step on a road that would lead to conflict with sorcerers, encounters with the avatars of gods, and a dangerous journey in search of the widely scattered family he had never expected to see again.... CURT BENJAMIN has a degree in art from Antioch University. After a brief sojourn in Portland, he returned to his hometown on the outskirts of Philadelphia. In his spare time, he is a designer and children's illustrator.

Pero cuando el dictador la obliga a ejecutar a la única persona que podría haberla salvado de su pesadilla, Theodosia decide resurgir de las cenizas. Su astucia es más poderosa que cualquier espada.

Princesas e príncipes vampiros
by Vianka Van Bokkem Josiane da Silva MattosMinha nova universidade é um mosteiro medieval reformado na Eslováquia chamado 'Dux Ducis' (líder dos líderes em latim). A universidade é administrada por professores de todo o mundo. Os monges a abandonaram há muitos anos, e não é exatamente o lugar que uma menina de dezoito anos gostaria de estar, só que eu não tenho escolha. Sou a princesa herdeira Paola Katarina da Suécia. Meus melhores amigos são a princesa herdeira Sofia Eleonora da Finlândia e o príncipe herdeiro Oskar Niklas da Noruega. No sexto dia no mosteiro, uma batida suave na porta me acordou. Dei uma olhada no relógio e era uma hora da manhã. Não havia ninguém lá, mas vi um rapaz de pijama andando descalço pelo jardim. A maneira rígida e lenta em que estava andando me fez pensar que ele era sonâmbulo. Segui-o e poucos minutos depois ele iniciou uma conversa arrepiante. -- Você é tão ingênua, Paola. Sempre tentando ajudar os outros, mesmo que sejam estranhos. Estou prestes a te ensinar uma lição que nenhum professor nesta universidade pode te ensinar. Quando o rapaz disse o meu nome, eu vi que ele não era sonâmbulo. Ele estava me atraindo para a sala de oração. -- Quem é você? Por que você me enganou para te seguir? O rapaz levou alguns segundos para responder, sem olhar para mim. -- Usei tantos nomes nos últimos 300 anos que não me lembro mais do meu nome de batismo; a maioria dos meus conhecidos me chamam de Patryk Lucescu.

The Princess and the Fangirl: A Geekerella Fairy Tale (Once Upon A Con #2)
by Ashley PostonThe Prince and the Pauper gets a Geekerella-style makeover in this witty and heartfelt novel for those who believe in the magic of fandom. Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: to save her favorite Starfield character, Princess Amara, from being killed off. On the other hand, the actress who plays Amara wouldn’t mind being axed. Jessica Stone doesn’t even like being part of the Starfield franchise—and she’s desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind. Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another—and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives. When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen’s best friend run their booth. But as these “princesses” race to find the script leaker—in each other’s shoes—they’re up against more than they bargained for. From the darker side of fandom to unexpected crushes, Imogen and Jess must find a way to rescue themselves from their own expectations...and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.
