Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as delightfully deadpan (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called a clever, romantic farce (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure--perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.
Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou--better known as werewolves.
And where there are garou, there're hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill's Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank the Pistol Prince Butler.
After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there's talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving--meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they're a day late and a Jane short.
In this next read for fans of A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin', whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual?) tale of Calamity Jane.
From the bestselling author of The Inheritance Games comes a reissue of an exciting paranormal adventure. With a heroine that rivals Buffy, Raised by Wolves will leave you howling for more.
Adopted by the alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, fifteen-year-old Bryn knows only pack life and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two. But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs. But in her drive to find the truth, will Bryn push too far beyond the constraints of the pack, forcing her to leave behind her friends, her family, and the identity that she's shaped?
In this reissue of the thrilling sequel from the NYT bestselling author of The Inheritance Games, there can only be one alpha.
Bryn is finally settling into her position as alpha of the Cedar Ridge Pack--or at least, her own version of what it means to be alpha when you're a human leading a band of werewolves. Then she finds a teenage boy bleeding on her front porch. Before collapsing, he tells her his name is Lucas, he's a Were, and Bryn's protection is his only hope. But Lucas isn't part of Bryn's pack, and she has no right to claim another alpha's Were. With threats--old and new--looming, and danger closing in from all sides, Bryn will have to accept what her guardian Callum knew all along. To be alpha, she will have to give in to her own animal instincts and become less human. And she's going to have to do it alone. Bryn will have to face both the costs and the rewards of love and loyalty.
She's done with men. But someone needs to tell her wolf.

Herbert] kept the tension high right up to the end, and provided a great finale using all of the elements he began building from the start. Needless to say I was satisfied... and I am (not so) patiently awaiting a sequel
J.D. Wiley, award winning author of The Bitter Bullet & Sky Gala
Walking Wolf Road was filled with the mythology of werewolves, shamanism, and philosophy. All of this hit exactly the right spot for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this book

I'm sorry, I can't let you leave, but I need you to trust me. Our lives depend on it.
Lily Bron was a sophomore in high school in the year 2000, living the average lifestyle of a teen girl. Though as the school year went on, things started becoming strange and unfamiliar, and it wasn't until the fateful day on which she met the stuck-up Jason Marrow that her whole life fell apart.
It was then, in her most sensitive state, that Jason showed and guided her unwillingly out of her childhood home, and into the world that wasn't supposed to exist; a world of demons, werewolves, and angels, and Jason turned out to be one of them, along with Lily. When everything was taken from her in such a short amount of time, Lily realized that someone she knew who was long lost in her memories needed her to fulfill his plan of destroying the human race. And she was the key to the dark magic he needed.
When all her childhood memories were fake, she found there was someone who had been searching for her for over six hundred years; someone who was grieving the loss of her and would not stop until she was found.
The same teenage man who vowed to protect her from her fate, Jason Marrow.
I was just eight years old when they decided to put me into a veil. My abusive father decided to make a deal and marry me off to a man I barely knew. My mother tried protecting me from his wrath but she couldn't stop my destiny from playing out. Within those few moments everything changed and my whole world turned upside down.
Behind my veil lies my truth.
