Be careful what you pray for . . .

Cod became an archaeologist to chase the ghost of her hero, Aleya Ana-Ulai. History may have written Aleya off as a myth, but Cod is determined to prove she existed, even if it means sifting through relics for the rest of her life.

Then a message arrives summoning her home. Cod's former teacher has found something monumental: the ruins of an enchanted city, slumbering beneath the soil.

This could be the breakthrough they've always dreamed of. But with war brewing, rival powers circling, and ancient magics stirring underfoot, their discovery soon becomes far more trouble than it's worth. Even Cod starts to wonder if some things are better left buried . . .

Heaven's Graveyard is a sinister lesbian history mystery bringing old magic into a dangerous new century.

"Classic small-town, homecoming rom-com goodness! I laughed, I gasped, and I wished I could be in the front row of the community theater. You'll want this one in your beach bag!"--Lyla Sage, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Done and Dusted and Soul Searching

When four former theater kids reunite after twenty years, forgotten crushes, unresolved tension, and fresh chemistry steal the spotlight in this charming queer ensemble rom-com.

Love always deserves an encore.

As teens, Annie, Lola, Vicky, and Dylan stole the show in a legendary gender-swapped version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Two couples, one unforgettable summer--until the closing-night party tore them apart, and not all of them knew why.

Now, with lives that look nothing like they imagined, the foursome is called home by their beloved director for a one-night-only revival to save the theater and the town. Returning to Rhodes means facing everything they left behind: long-buried secrets, undeniable chemistry, and the chance to write a brand-new ending--together.

Brimming with nostalgia, wit, and small-town sparkle, Play It Again is a heartwarming story of first love, second chances, and the magic of finding your way back to the stage--and to the ones who knew you best.

This is a love-hate story about personal and political relationships in the United States, told through the intimate stories of both the rejectors and the rejected: lovers, families, neighbors, and a nation and its people. Although we're taught not to care about others' opinions, rejection always hurts, and it hurts some people a lot more than others. To prove it, this book marshals contemporary neuroscience, the Founding Fathers' rejection advice, and four centuries of personal narratives, many of them hilarious, many more heartbreaking. These rejection and acceptance stories span loving and disastrous American first encounters, soldiers and dancers rejected on front lines and chorus lines, playground bullies invoked before the Senate, and generations of lovers and patriots battling or swiping right to defend their loved ones and their country.

Abraham Lincoln wrote, "The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more evil, than of good." But rejection is often unjust, often deserved, and unusually complicated, depending on who's rejecting whom and why.

In laboratories, diaries, self-help manuals, auditions, lawsuits, and wars, we find models for "getting past" rejections, not just through personal resilience, but also through creating accountability and justice. United States of Rejection begins with heartbreak and ends with hope: an urgent self-improvement program for changing our relationships and the future of our messy nation.

Is Addictive Tech Killing Discipleship?

In student ministry, we hear a lot about tech's effect on the mental well-being of the next generation, but what about the spiritual impact of addictive technology? And what toll will it take on the Church over the decades to come?

What if Next Gen ministry leaders had a radically different approach to technology?

Three different voices answer that question in Next Gen Tech Reset. You'll hear from a media-addict-turned-pastor, a (formerly) hi-tech youth pastor and camp director, and an advocate mom, fighting to protect kids online for over a decade. Each chapter brings highlights From the Word, From the Field, and From the Research. This book is more than just a why-it's a how to. Gain practical and Biblical insight on:

• How to intentionally model spiritually healthy tech use as leaders.
• How to build teams of staff and volunteers who understand the importance of boundaries and integrity in the digital age.
• How to protect sacred ministry gatherings from the damaging effects of addictive tech for the safety and maximum spiritual growth of students.
• How and why to lead a community digital fast in your student ministry.
• How to stand strong in a culture of passivity around technology.

You'll also get access to exclusive digital content to implement low-tech ideas and strategies through a Tool Kit of resources you can make your own.

A generation is at stake. Reigning in tech and teaching young people a better way will require all of us-ministry leaders, parents, and students-to prayerfully fight against the status quo. We can change the story.

Lovers of true crime and Ohio history will find themselves riveted by these crimes of passion.

There is a thin line between love and hate, and when intense passion threatens that border, blood will flow. Northern Ohio has had its share of people who felt that line snap. In Canton, the Phantom-Flapper Killer shot down her lover in cold blood after he threatened to expose her infidelity to the world. In Toledo, Dorothy Brown's married boyfriend brutally attacked her when he learned that she was expecting. Max Amerman of Medina was willing to kill for the girl of his dreams, and when Cleveland's Matilda Waldman believed that her husband was cursed by a witch, she took out the she-devil by way of a pistol.

Author Wendy Koile examines these relationships once bound by love, unraveled by lies, and cut off by murder.

Two Death Bringers cannot live within the same world. Only one can survive. The other is fated to die.

It's 1995 and Elis Perkins finds fate has twisted her arm. Knowing nothing of the world of demons and monsters, Elis is tossed into chaos when she is chosen to be the new Death Bringer. Ex-Bringer Harris Merril will do anything to keep his job. When Harris kills her family, Elis must fight with all she has to survive Harris's cat-and-mouse chase. Harris's time runs short, but when ancient secrets of the supernatural begin to unfold, Harris wonders if maybe Elis isn't the enemy after all. Something bigger is out there, something worse than the bringers of death, and it needs to be destroyed. Both the supernatural and mortal worlds depend on it. Only the Bringers can stop the darkness from spreading.

Sealed Fates is a white-knuckled tale set in the late 1990s of death, grief, love, and survival filled with dark humor and characters that jump off the page. Elis's and Harris's stories weave a thrilling narrative that navigates the theme of life and death.

Itou is learning how to be "normal" from her classmate Takahashi, who, despite being a monster in disguise, is a social butterfly. But suddenly, the very teacher Takahashi killed returns as a monster. This new "Niehara-sensei" has a terrifying agenda: to eradicate and replace the normies of the world. As Itou grapples with Takahashi's true nature--and her unwillingness to let Itou go--will she manage to stop Nie-sen before it's too late?

"Enemies-to-lovers perfection combined with unforgettable banter and non-stop laughter. I couldn't put it down!"--USA Today bestselling author Marni Mann

Penny Huff and Jack Craig are neighbors by floor plan...and enemies by choice.

Thanks to a tragically thin wall in their NYC apartment building, Penny knows far too much about Jack--like his taste in too-loud music, the noxious fumes from his kitchen, and his habit of suspiciously aggressive vacuuming. And she knows all about the tearful brunette fleeing his apartment the day he moved in--the one crying about her cheating ex. Not even Jack's piratical charm can undo what Penny knows: the man is bad news.

When her attempt to get the wall soundproofed literally blows a hole in it, the two are forced into a DIY disaster that traps them in each other's lives...and spaces. With eviction looming, prank wars escalating, and unexpected sparks flying, Penny starts to suspect her insufferable neighbor might just be the plot twist her love life needs.

Packed with witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and sizzling tension, this fast-paced romantic comedy proves that love can bloom where drywall--and patience--have crumbled.

"What does it mean to dissolve into one's text?" Naomi Washer asks in Marginalia: An Autobiography. Comprised of a decade's worth of notes made in the margins of other writers' books, collected and arranged into an original work, Marginalia accumulates into an essay that interrogates both its own form and its author's sense of self. From her own readings of writers like Kate Zambreno, Roland Barthes, Maggie Nelson, and Robert Walser, among countless others, Washer arrives at an uncanny rediscovering of a self both her and not, visible and hidden. And in the act of re-reading, she distills the experience of one's ongoing transformation in writing and everyday life.

Death isn't finished with them yet.

Sarai believed the worst was behind her. However, months after exposing the government's corruption in what has now been deemed "the Great Unravelling," she faces scorn from citizens who preferred her and Kadra as the underdogs. Worse, eerie omens rock the country: from a deadly plague outbreak to a sweeping madness that leave the afflicted ranting of an approaching reckoning. Accused of angering the gods, Sarai returns to the only place that can clear her name: Ur Dinyé's frozen north. But among the secrets buried in its ice are Kadra's.

When historical tensions between the north and the south worsen, a powerful religious order seizes control in the chaos, led by a man whose very voice can kill--Noceo bu Kader. Trapped between love and a crumbling country, Sarai and Kadra must outwit a power with roots as deep in fear as in cruelty. But the gods are always watching, and Sarai and Kadra may not escape a second time.
