    Summary

    In 1951, Hogwarts makes a startling change - for the first time ever, girls are permitted to shadow professors as part of their fifth-year curriculum. Sixteen-year-old Rey Niima, diligent and eager to please, finds herself placed under the tutelage of the school’s newest instructor: the grim and glowering veteran, Professor Ben Solo.

    What begins between the two as contemptuous, becomes something far more perilous when they become inexplicably linked. Soon, Rey finds herself in over her head with a desire she cannot begin to understand. Devotion and danger often wear the same face, and in this case - that face holds a scar and a gaze that Rey can’t hold for long.

    Summary

    Stede smiled and leaned against the edge of the train door. “I can’t tell you what’s going to happen in the future, Ed. My world has already changed so much, in just six weeks. Who’s to say it can’t keep changing? Maybe there’s trouble ahead. Or maybe this -” He looked back down at Ed, who was gazing up at him in open, unguarded wonder. “Maybe all of this will get easier for- for people like us. I don’t know. But I sure would like to find out together. Wouldn’t you?”

    Summary

    They say the heat makes people crazy. Deep in an economic depression, the simmering civil unrest reaches a fever pitch on Summertide in Castleton when the Yiga cause a citywide blackout. When Link offers to accompany Zelda to check on her ailing father, he quickly finds he has more to worry about than the dark when rioters flood the streets and a killer takes advantage of the chaos to make a final sacrifice to the Old Gods.

    Zelda gapes at the blackness beyond the window of Romani's. Suddenly it feels like she’s floating in some dark cloud, not high above a city that should be filled with the glow of lights and neon. Five minutes pass, then ten, then fifteen, but no sign of the lights coming back on. The quiet murmur begins to pick up to a light chatter and then to animated talking in the restaurant.

    The first was Revali on Summertide. The next was Urbosa on Autumntide. Then on Wintertide was Daruk. Mipha was last on Springtide. Rusl wonders who might be so unlucky to face Calamity tonight. The fierce look in Mipha's little brother's eyes and the way they demanded that somebody DO SOMETHING haunt Rusl even in the waking hours.

    Summary

    “Caitlyn!”

    Caitlyn froze halfway across the porch. She whirled around, eyes frantically scanning the darkness at the sudden, desperate shout.

    The Ford pickup had made it about a quarter of a mile down the winding dirt road, still idling with its red taillights lit up. The driver’s side door had been flung wide open.

    Vi was running back to Caitlyn in a dead sprint.

    Caitlyn’s blood began pounding in her ears once her heart kickstarted back to life. She raced off the porch, charging over the loose gravel of the driveway, dirt kicking up around her heels when she hit the main road.

    The cheerleader kept going, legs churning, lungs burning, heart nearly ready to burst. She barely had time to brace herself for impact, mouth open as she panted from the exertion.

    Vi collided with her. The force of it knocked the remaining air out of Caitlyn.

    Summary

    In a totalitarian state where the government controls knowledge, even the sky is treated as classified. Citizens are taught that nothing exists beyond the polluted clouds, and questioning this truth is treason. Napoli, a record keeper in the Ministry of Information, spends his days erasing truths he secretly longs to believe. Citizens are taught the world ends at the clouds, that stars are myths and curiosity is treason. But when Napoli discovers a forgotten star map hidden in an archive file, something within him stirs, fear, awe, and a longing he cannot name. he is not alone. Whispered meetings in abandoned tunnels reveal others. Silent scientists, factory workers, former pilots—all clinging to scraps of forbidden knowledge. Together they share cracked lenses, burned documents, and memories of a sky no longer seen. The regime tightens its grip: disappearances, rewrites, louder propaganda. Yet the more they try to bury the truth, the brighter it burns in Napoli's chest. He does not seek glory—only to prove the world is larger than walls and smoke. As rumors of real starlight spread and unrest trembles through the streets, Napoli risks everything to show his people the sky is not empty, not a lie—just waiting to be seen.
