The City’s Son<br />

The Skyscraper Throne<br />

Tom Pollock<br />

A stunningly original urban fantasy debut<br />

Running from her traitorous best friend<br />

and her estranged father, graffiti artist Beth<br />

Bradley is looking for sanctuary. What she<br />

finds is Urchin, the ragged and cocky crown<br />

prince of London’s mystical underworld.<br />

Urchin opens Beth’s eyes to the city she’s<br />

never truly seen—where vast spiders crawl<br />

telephone wires seeking voices to steal, railwraiths<br />

escape their tethers, and statues conceal<br />

an ancient priesthood robed in bronze.<br />

But it all teeters on the brink of destruction.<br />

Amid rumors that Urchin’s goddess mother<br />

will soon return from her 15-year exile,<br />

Reach, a malign god of urban decay, wants<br />

the young prince dead. Helping Urchin raise<br />

an alleyway army to reclaim his skyscraper<br />

throne, Beth soon forgets her old life. But<br />

when her best friend is captured, Beth must<br />

choose between this wondrous existence and<br />

the life she left behind.<br />

Tom Pollock (London, England) is the author of the short story “Evacuation,”<br />

which appeared in the anthology Pandemonium. The City’s Son is his debut<br />

novel, the first in a new trilogy that is also being published by U.K. publisher<br />

Jo Fletcher Books in July 2012. Visit him online at TomPollock.com.<br />

Henry Franks<br />

A Novel<br />

Peter Adam Salomon<br />

A dark, psychological thriller about a boy’s<br />

search for himself<br />

Four thousand, three hundred and seventeen stitches,<br />

his father had told him once. All the King’s horses<br />

and all the King’s men had put Henry Franks back<br />

together again.<br />

One year ago, a terrible accident robbed<br />

Henry Franks of his mother and his memories.<br />

He can’t remember anything: the accident,<br />

his mother, his life. The past sixteen<br />

years have vanished. All Henry has now are<br />

scars and a distant father—the only one who<br />

can tell Henry who he is. If only he could<br />

trust his father.<br />

Henry tries to piece together his past with<br />

help from Justine, his only friend. Could his<br />

nightmares—a sweet little girl calling him<br />

Daddy, murderous urges, dead bodies—hold<br />

clues? While a serial killer stalks their small<br />

Georgia town, Henry unearths the bitter<br />

truth about his mother—and himself.<br />

Peter Adam Salomon (New Orleans, LA) is a member of the Society of Children’s<br />

Book Writers and Illustrators and was a Judge for the 2006 Savannah Children’s<br />

Book Festival Young Writers Contest. Henry Franks is his debut novel.<br />

Redemption<br />

Hearts of Stone, Book 1<br />

Véronique Launier<br />

guillaume:<br />

For five hundred years I’ve existed as a gargoyle.<br />

Perched atop an old Montreal church,<br />

I’ve watched idly as humanity wanders by.<br />

With the witch Marguerite gone, there is no<br />

one left to protect, nothing to care about. I<br />

never planned to feel again. But then a girl<br />

released me from my stone restraints, allowing<br />

me to return as a seventeen-year-old<br />

human boy. I must find out all I can about<br />

this girl’s power . . .<br />

aude:<br />

Getting attacked twice in as many days is<br />

strange in itself, but even stranger is the<br />

intriguing guy I keep running into. There’s<br />

something so familiar about him, like a<br />

primal drum rhythm from my dreams. But<br />

spending time together only raises more<br />

questions—about my heritage, a native<br />

Mohawk prophecy . . . and an unearthly<br />

magic threatening our city..<br />

Véronique Launier (Ottawa, Canada) is an avid reader, a dreamer, an Internet<br />

addict, and the servant to two little girls and three feline overlords. She loves to<br />

dance and studies everything Persian, from the language to the history to the cuisine.<br />

Redemption is her first novel.<br />

Silver<br />

A Bandia Novel<br />

Talia Vance<br />

An Irish heritage, Celtic myth, and deadly<br />

beauty<br />

In eighth grade, Brianna did something<br />

so dreadful she was suspended and homeschooled.<br />

No one could explain what happened<br />

that night . . . except Brianna’s Irish<br />

grandmother, who gave her a silver charm<br />

bracelet and told her to wear it until she<br />

turned seventeen. Ever since she slipped<br />

it on, Brianna has felt like she’s invisible.<br />

People stare right past her as if she doesn’t<br />

exist. And that includes Blake Williams, the<br />

one boy she can’t resist.<br />

But everything changes in one frozen, silver<br />

moment when Blake sees her—and recognizes<br />

what she’s been hiding. Brianna is<br />

descended from Danu, the legendary Bandia<br />

of Celtic myth. Yet before she can fully<br />

understand who or what she is, Brianna<br />

accidentally binds her soul to Blake—whose<br />

tribe has spent the last thousand years hunting<br />

Danu’s descendants to protect humanity.<br />

Talia Vance (Northern California) has worked as a horse trainer, a freelance writer, and an attorney.<br />

Her YA novel Spies and Prejudice is being published by Egmont in 2013.<br />
