The Prince & the Coyote
by David Bowles
Mexico. 1418. Meet Prince Acolmiztli. Puma of the Acolhua People. Heir to his father's throne. Half Acolhuan, half Mexica. Singer. Warrior. Poet. Sixteen years old. And now, betrayed. A palace plot, placed by the deadly Tepaneca Empire, kills his mother and siblings, puts his father's army into retreat, and sends Prince Acolmiztli into a treacherous exile. Battling hunger, snow-swept mountains, and the machinations of the city-states all around him, Prince Acolmiztli vows revenge. It will take years, but he will return to seek justice. And he'll do it with a new name: Nezahualcoyotl. Fasting Coyote.

To the Bone
by Alena Bruzas
This gripping, shocking, and exquisitely crafted survival story reveals the truth of America's colonial history in a powerful new way--visceral and breathtaking. After the long journey from England, Ellis arrives in America full of hope. James Fort is where a better life will begin for her: where she will work as an indentured servant to Henry Collins and his pregnant wife, gain financial security, and fall deeply in love with bold, glorious Jane Eddowes. But as summer turns to fall, Ellis begins to notice the cracks in this new life--the viciousness of the colonists toward the Indigenous people and the terrifying anger Henry uses to control his wife and Ellis--leaving her to wonder if she has sentenced herself to a prison rather than a new home. Then winter arrives and hunger grips the Fort. Ellis is about to learn that people will do whatever it takes to survive.

Daughter of Doom
by Jean-Claude Van Rijckeghem
Denmark, 870 AD. Yrsa knows her place in the village of Mimir's Stool. Though she was born with a crooked foot, she's never let anyone underestimate her; after all, she's the daughter of Toke the helmsman and granddaughter of the fearsome warrior Gudrun the Torch (who, according to legend, stood before the walls of Paris, splattered in the blood of Frankish warriors). And no one else in the village shares her ability to see what the Norns, the three weavers who live under the roots of Yggdrasil, the world tree, and craft people's fates, have in store for them. One day the men return from a raid with a high-ranking hostage, Sister Job, and though the two girls couldn't be more different, they look out for one another. And when one of the villagers viciously assaults Sister Job and she and Yrsa mortally wound him in self-defense, they're forced to take to the sea to escape the wrath of the warriors of Mimir's Stool, and worse, the wrath of the gods. Can either of them escape their fate? Do they even want to?
