Better the Devil
by Erik J. Brown
A queer runaway teen, arrested for shoplifting, is desperate to avoid being sent back to his unaccepting, hyper-religious parents. At the police station, he notices his resemblance to Nate Beaumont, a boy who vanished ten years earlier, and impulsively assumes his identity to escape. But before he can disappear again, Nate’s family arrives and welcomes him home to a life he’s never known—one filled with warmth, stability, and care. As he settles in, planning his eventual exit, he begins to question whether he even wants to leave. The Beaumonts seem nothing like his own family. But the illusion of safety quickly unravels. Strange disturbances—vandalism, alarms in the night—suggest someone knows he isn’t really Nate. Digging deeper, he uncovers a chilling truth: the real Nate wasn’t kidnapped, but murdered. As suspicion tightens and danger closes in, he realizes the truth could cost him everything—and that he may be the next target.

by Lora Senf
Ember, Miles, and Sam have been called home--only home is a place none of them have ever been before. Outside of time lies the world of the Fountain. It's vast, unexplored, unmapped and full of wild things--leviathan and tiny, scuttling things and all manner of creature in between. The borders that separate the Fountain from our world are already porous, and in every timeline that has been or will be, water can be a passageway for the violent and damned to enter our world. The three teens, all from different times, are on a mission that will either restore a cosmic balance or destroy the border that separates our world from the world beyond the Fountain, ending them both.
