Woven truths
Incapable. Awkward. Artless. That's what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: She wants to fail. Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she's exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen to work the looms is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to manipulate the very fabric of reality. But if controlling what people eat, where they live, and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn't interested.
Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and used her hidden talent for a moment. Now she has one hour to eat her mom's overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister's academy gossip and laugh at her dad's jokes. One hour to pretend everything's okay. And one hour to escape.
Because tonight, they'll come for her.

Harsh words indeed, from Brian Nelson of all people. But, D. J. can't help admitting, maybe he's right.
When you don't talk, there's a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said.
Stuff like why her best friend, Amber, isn't so friendly anymore. Or why her little brother, Curtis, never opens his mouth. Why her mom has two jobs and a big secret. Why her college-football-star brothers won't even call home. Why her dad would go ballistic if she tried out for the high school football team herself. And why Brian is so, so out of her league.
When you don't talk, there's a lot of stuff that ends up not getting said.
Welcome to the summer that fifteen-year-old D. J. Schwenk of Red Bend, Wisconsin, learns to talk, and ends up having an awful lot of stuff to say.

In this young adult fantasy novel, Princess Elise of the Rathlan Empire lost everything when her exiled grandfather came back with a legion of zealots and seized the throne from her mother. Having barely escaped with her life, Elise goes into hiding and over the years befriends other outcasts as she learns the skills she will need to reclaim her birthright from the returned Mad Emperor.
Each of their small band would be killed, or worse, if their true identities were known; from the studious healer witch, to the sneaky trans girl who perpetually lives in shadows and disguises. Still, they are able to keep hidden and safe as they prepare to fight for a better future.
But all that is thrown into peril when a sly young man stumbles into trouble that could get them all noticed by the authorities. If Elise and her small band of allies don't do something very clever, very soon, they could all be exposed and slaughtered just for the crime of being born different in a kingdom that demands purity.
They may have no choice but to confront this threat now, before they're ready, and risk a fiery death from the sky that will consume everyone.
Elise will even have to face the very warrior that slaughtered her father, and decide if she wants vengeance, justice, or if she is strong enough to put aside her own feelings to save a city full of innocents.
