Growing up in Wales, she played among the spirits who made their homes in industrial ruins. But her mind found freedom and promise in the science fiction novels that were her closest companions. Then her mother tried to bend the spirits to dark ends, and Mori was forced to confront her in a magical battle that left her crippled — and her twin sister dead. Fleeing to her father whom she barely knew, Mori was sent to boarding school in England. There, outcast and alone, she tempted fate by doing magic herself, in an attempt to find a circle of like- minded friends. But her magic also drew the attention of her mother, bringing about a reckoning that could no longer be put off… 978-1-4104-7605-0 • $31.99 Science Fiction • Released 2/4/15 I A New York Times Bestselling Author Winner of the Hugo Award DOWNBELOW STATION C.

He's been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier.

It's a prestige posting, with the chance to serve on "Away Missions" alongside the starship's famous senior officers. Life couldn't be better — until he realizes that 1) every Away Mission involves a lethal confrontation with alien forces, 2) the ship's senior officers always survive and 3) sadly, at least one low-ranking crew member does not. The savvier crew members belowdecks avoid Away Missions at all costs. Then Andrew stumbles on information that transforms their understanding of what the starship Intrepid really is. 978-1-4104-7607-4 • $31.99 U.S. Science Fiction • Releases 2/4/15 NEW!
