Survival of the Goodest
by Marianne Boucher
Sable has lived in a tight-knit community on a remote island for her whole life. With support from her parents, she's trained for years to take up her position as the next Kerpathic, a messenger who travels through the dangerous forest to share news, medicine, and culture. When her father, the current Kerpathic, has an accident, Sable must step into her pre-destined role.
As her first mission goes awry, she wonders if she's ready for this important but dangerous work. Until a young naturalist arrives on the island and sets off to capture a mysterious animal that's never been seen on the mainland. Sable realizes she can use her skills as a Kerpathic to defend the island's animals and their way of life. But she quickly learns that she can't do it alone.

Thief of the Heights
by Son M.
Lifelong friends Basem, Mustafa, and Aarfah have carved out a place for themselves in their corner of Muqadas, where they dream of climbing from their place in the city's lowest level, above the limb-snatching, disease-infested waters, to the very top of their vertical city. Young inventors who've seen firsthand the havoc the Habar infection causes set out to dazzle the masses with their innovative prosthetics and escape the dangers of Lake Saha. When their inventions catch the eye of a scout who is on the hunt for new talent to bring to the higher tiers, their dreams are suddenly within reach. But as the wonders of the upper tiers enchant, Basem, Mustafa, and Aarfah begin to question why the bounty of Muqadas falls short of reaching Lake Saha's inhabitants. Behind the beauty of the city's upper tiers lie dark and dangerous secrets--ones that threaten not only everything they've worked for but everyone they love. And when Mustafa and Aarfah are cast away for their allegiance to Lake Saha, Basem is facedwith the difficult choice: Fight to bring justice to all of Muqadas? Or abandon his friends and fall in line to achieve everything he's ever dreamed of?

Along the way, they notice something strange--everywhere the capricious god goes, a door through which the Worm slithers into this world seems sure to open...
