When thieves target a revolutionary computer chip, my elite crew is called in for security at the unveiling gala. The catch? I'm forced undercover, posing as arm candy for a grumpy former spy. Drew. Freaking. Donovan. The spy-turned-fixer who enlisted my team demands I stick next to him for the event. He thinks I’m reckless and need to be kept on a short leash. I think he’s got trust issues and needs to learn how to smile. As a recovery specialist with light fingers, I’m more comfortable working in the shadows. Mingling and schmoozing aren't my thing, but that isn’t what’s breaking my focus. It’s the way I feel when Drew looks at me, even though it’s clear what he really wants is another notch on his bedpost. My easygoing attitude doesn’t mean I’m into temporary relationships, no matter how drawn I am to the irritatingly sexy fixer. But when the chaos starts, I'll have to choose: Lower my guard and rely on Mr. Grumpy Face, or let the thieves slip through our fingers. And if we fail, it's not just my professional reputation at stake—it's my heart. The Twilight Theft is the exhilarating third installment in the Reynolds Recoveries romantic suspense series, about the members of a heist crew who return stolen items to their rightful owners. Featuring charismatic heroes, smart heroines, and a thrilling adventure in each novel, the stories are best enjoyed in order.

While those responsible scatter to work on the next step in their plan, the stakes are raised - all the way to the heavens - as the Gods themselves enter the fray. Returning home to a nation divided by fanaticism, Lord Isak is haunted both by the consequences of his actions in Scree and by visions of his own impending death. As the full extent of Azaer's schemes become clearer, he realises prophecy and zealotry must play their part in his battle-plans if there is to be any chance of surviving the coming years. As a white-eye, Isak has had to embrace the darker parts of his own soul, but now the savage religious fervour sweeping his nation must also be accepted and turned to purpose, in the name of survival.

The award-winning author of The Lie Tree “has created a distinctly imaginative world full of engaging characters, robust humor, and true suspense” (School Library Journal, starred review). Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye’s father insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel uncle and aunt, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words. “Intricate plotting, well-developed and fascinating characters, delicious humor, and exquisite wordcraft envelop readers fully into this richly imagined world.” ?The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (starred review) “Hardinge’s stylish way with prose gives her sprawling debut fantasy a literate yet often silly tone that calls to mind Monty Python.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Mosca’s ferocity and authentic inner turmoil [are] both reminiscent of Philip Pullman’s Lyra Belacqua.” ?Booklist “Incredibly well written.” ?The Seattle Times
