From the New York Times and internationally bestselling authors of The Illuminae Files comes a new science fiction epic...

The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, bestselling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. Is this the end? What happens when you ask a bunch of losers, discipline cases and misfits to save the galaxy from an ancient evil? The ancient evil wins, of course. Wait . . . Not. So. Fast. When we last saw Squad 312, they were working together seamlessly (aka, freaking out) as an intergalactic battle raged and an ancient superweapon threatened to obliterate Earth. Everything went horribly wrong, naturally. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It's complicated. Cue Zila, Fin and Scarlett (and Magellan!) making friends, making enemies and making history? Sure, no problem. Cue Tyler, Kal and Auri joining forces with two of the galaxy's most hated villains? Um, okay, yeah. That too. Actually saving the galaxy, though? Now that will take a miracle.

Tensions are at an all-time high in the final book of this rip-roaring adventure series about siblings with magical shapeshifter powers, from New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman. Though Anders and his friends have delayed a war between ice wolves and scorch dragons, their mission is far from over. With adults on both sides looking for them, they’ve sought refuge in Cloudhaven, a forbidden stronghold that could hold the key to saving their home. Meanwhile, Holbard has been ravaged, and its citizens are reeling. Many have been forced into bleak camps outside the city, and food is running short. To rebuild Vallen and unite scorch dragons, ice wolves, and humans, Anders and Rayna must put everything on the line…before the damage done is beyond repair. But the price of peace may hit closer to home than they could’ve ever imagined.

Selly has salt water in her veins. So when her father leaves her high and dry in the port of Kirkpool, she has no intention of riding out the winter at home while he sails off to adventure. But any plans to follow him are dashed when a handsome stranger with tell-tale magician's marks on his arm commandeers her ship. He is Prince Leander of Alinor and he needs to cross the Crescent Sea without detection so he can complete a ritual on the sacred Isles of the Gods. Selly has no desire to escort a spoiled prince anywhere, and no time for his entitled demands or his good looks. But what starts as a leisure cruise will lead to acts of treason and sheer terror on the high seas, bringing two countries to the brink of war, two strangers closer than they ever thought possible and stirring two dangerous gods from centuries of slumber...

Magic and sacrifice will collide as lovers and gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world in this heart-pounding sequel to THE ISLES OF THE GODS, which Stephanie Garber called "deliciously diabolical and full of heart."Selly has always loved the sea, so falling for spoiled Prince Leander of Alinor was the last thing on her mind. Yet when the two are thrown together by a foiled assassination attempt, the bond they develop is unmistakeable--and their mission to pay homage to the Goddess Barrica takes on perilous urgency. It's only when an ancient ritual goes terribly wrong that Selly and Leander discover that Barrica has a plan of her own: she wants to be resurrected, and she requires a willing body to host her. Now possessed with a force that threatens to overwhelm him, Leander needs Selly and her fledgling skills as a magician more than ever. But what neither of them could suspect is that the god Mallacea has also been roused from his slumber and is intent on destroying Barrica...at any cost. Leander is determined to banish Barrica and prevent the total devestation war between the two gods would bring, but doing so will mean severing himself from Selly forever.

The epic finale to bestselling author Amie Kaufman's solo YA romantasy debut

The year is 2380 and the cadets of the last year of the Aurora Academy are going to receive their first mission. Star student Tyler Jones is ready to recruit his dream squad, but his own ridiculous heroism causes him to settle for the spoils no other student at the academy would want to accept: a smug diplomat with a black belt in sarcasm; a sociopathic scientist with a fondness for shooting her roommates; the most belligerent tech genius in the entire galaxy; an alien warrior with anger management issues from him; a pilot who, in case you were wondering, has no feelings for Tyler, nothing at all. Plus, Tyler's squad isn't even his biggest problem: that would be Aurora Jie-Lin O'Malley, the girl he just rescued from interdimensional space. Trapped in cryogenic sleep for two centuries, Auri is a girl out of time and out of place. Yet she could be the catalyst for a war millions of years in the making, and Tyler's squad of losers, disciplinary cases, and misfits could be the galaxy's last hope. Don't let her panic.

Selly's plans to follow her father to the north seas are dashed when a handsome stranger with tell-tale magician's marks on his arm boards her ship and presents her with a dangerous mission--to sail to the Isles of the Gods so he can complete a mysterious ritual.

A New York Times BestsellerBrace yourself for GEMINA-the highly anticipated sequel to the book critics called "out-of-this-world awesome"-featuring journal illustrations by bestselling author Marie Lu!

When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren't just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia-and possibly the known universe-is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this. They hope.
