Abitha Scarborough is a psychological specialist and a junior curator in the Ministry of Decorum, the wing of the Alterian Government that deals with manners, etiquette, decorum, espionage, misinformation, and propaganda. She and her family felt secure in their position in life, until they got the news that Abitha was being transferred to Joffrey Collins, the asylum for dissenters and criminally insane. This is not a good thing for the family. In a desperate attempt to stop the ruin of their family and the loss of everything they love, Abitha's daughters, Portia and Ursula, along with their closest friends in the informal gang they call The Renaissance Boys, decide to embark on a quest for the Tinkerer's Mainspring. Thought to be a myth, the Tinkerer's Mainspring is an ancient artifact, handcrafted by the rebels of old. If they can find the Mainspring, they can change everything. But they aren't the only ones looking for it — Lazarus Glass is close behind. Can The Renaissance Boys find the Mainspring and save the family before Lazarus can seize it?
In the ten years that have passed since Eila Doyle was banished and disappeared, the world has changed. Athenia has taken control of all ten engines through military occupation.

King Godwyn wants to lead the celestials off the Island of Evergreen to take over the engines and rule the world. Leviathan is opening interdimensional doors between worlds to let The Might seep out. Spirit Daemons spawned from engine pollution become manifest and wreak havoc across the land. And the city of Stensue threatens all life with The Implement. Can Eila return to take her place in the order of things and help restore harmony to all the engines? Or is this truly the end? The Engine Convergence is book five and the final installment in The Dream Engine Series. Find the answers you’ve been waiting for.
Eila, Eve, Abbie, and their small band of allies find themselves on the run again. Fleeing North from the all-but-ruined Waldron’s Gate, they are on a quest to carry the precious core of the Blunderbuss to safety. But they are not alone. Pursued by a creature calling itself Leviathan, as well as by operatives from Waldron’s Gate, and soldiers from Stensue, this rag-tag band has to draw on all of their collective courage and skills at each step of the journey. As the rebels press on, Juliette journeys to Athenia in a desperate gambit for allies and worldwide consensus on confronting the coming crisis. But has she overplayed her hand? Their treacherous odyssey takes Eila and her friends through the lands of Thesic and Aerohead on their way to their ultimate destination: The Celestial Gate. The Pandora Core, book four in The Dream Engine Series, ratchets the tension up to eleven, turning the careful world of Alterra and its foes beyond inside out.

The timing is terrible. her boyfriend has been ghosting her, and her best friend thinks he's cheating. A coming blizzard means that once she arrives, she can't leave. Some creep's been texting her disturbing photos she doesn’t understand. and worst of all, her folks are acting strange. They're hiding something, and Miranda has no idea what it is.

Adrian and Ray Porter have spent their lives battling demons that claw into our world through a thin spot: a hellish and dead place with a black lake at its center, nicknamed "The Gore Point." But as the rifts begin to change and grow for the first time in decades, can they keep the planet from becoming Hell itself? Adrian and his hotshot brother Ray work for Brigade One, in the walled-off city of Fortune on the outskirts of the Gore Point. Like their father before them, it's the Porters' job to protect citizens from the creatures that emerge from rifts opening inside the dead zone. Nobody knows what the Gore Point is or where it came from. It cannot be eradicated. It cannot be closed. The Brigades can only offer triage. Demons have always come through ... and the only solution is to slaughter them when they do. These days, few people die from the spawn that infiltrate Fortune from its rotted middle ... though as children, Ray and Adrian vividly remember watching their father do exactly that. But something has always struck intellectual Adrian as wrong about that day. The thing that killed their father (an enormous red beast called a hellbringer) wasn't supposed to be there. Adrian suspects there's something beneath the simplicity of modern riftfare, but bullheaded, showboating Ray thinks he's crazy. Until one day, when the rifts suddenly and inexplicably change. It starts to look like Hell has been sandbagging to lull us into complacence ... with help from a saboteur on the inside.

All’s quiet where Hell remains. Months after the sundering that nearly collapsed our world into the demon plane, the city of Fortune has become unnervingly normal. Rifts no longer open. Fiends no longer cross over. The few that remain are captives, including their king: a mammoth horned beast known as “the dreadnought.” The city is far too calm, as if waiting for a terrible shoe to drop. The only Hell left lives inside Adrian Porter’s dreams, stirred by the nearby dreadnought. Each night, Adrian sees his captured girlfriend Laurel tortured in flame. For once, his brother Ray is the sensible one. As Adrian battles guilt and regret, life must go on. But Adrian’s dreams aren’t just dreams. They’re messages: Laurel calling from her infernal prison. The planes have begun to shift again, and the military fears an attack as the next gambit in humanity’s longest con takes shape. Desperate to uncover the truth, Earthside forces recruit Adrian and Ray to lead a covert expedition into Hell itself. But what awaits them on the other side is a twisted reflection of their own world: plots and schemes, a resistance, a tyrannical leader in a war for control. With each revelation, the true scope of the fiends’ plan comes into focus … and Adrian realizes the only way to ensure humanity's survival may be to make an unthinkable sacrifice. In this epic tale of honor, obsession, and the blurred lines between good and evil, the Porter brothers must decide how far they’re willing to go to save both worlds from annihilation. Brace yourself for a mind-bending journey where nothing is as it seems — and the only certainty is that when the final battle begins, existence itself will tremble.

Special edition of Paul Harding’s Pulitzer Prize–winning debut novel—featuring a new foreword by Marilynne Robinson and book club extras inside In this deluxe tenth anniversary edition, Marilynne Robinson introduces the beautiful novel Tinkers, which begins with an old man who lies dying. As time collapses into memory, he travels deep into his past, where he is reunited with his father and relives the wonder and pain of his impoverished New England youth. At once heartbreaking and life affirming, Tinkers is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature. The story behind this New York Times bestselling debut novel—the first independently published Pulitzer Prize winner since A Confederacy of Dunces received the award nearly thirty years before—is as extraordinary as the elegant prose within it. Inspired by his family’s history, Paul Harding began writing Tinkers when his rock band broke up. Following numerous rejections from large publishers, Harding was about to shelve the manuscript when Bellevue Literary Press offered a contract. After being accepted by BLP, but before it was even published, the novel developed a following among independent booksellers from coast to coast. Readers and critics soon fell in love, and it went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize, prompting the New York Times to declare the novel’s remarkable success “the most dramatic literary Cinderella story of recent memory.” That story is still being written as readers across the country continue to discover this modern classic, which has now sold over half a million copies, proving once again that great literature has a thriving and passionate audience. Paul Harding is the author of two novels about multiple generations of a New England family: Enon and the Pulitzer Prize–winning Tinkers. He teaches at Stony Brook Southampton.
