  The Dividing

  Adamic is the language of the Gods. When spoken, it has the power to create worlds, to raise the dead, to make man as God. Fortunately, no one has spoken it in thousands of years. The only remnants are the written spells.  
  The people of Cavernum depend on these spells. They’re etched into the city walls, fending off the feeders—deadly creatures with a thirst for human blood. They kill and consume any caught beyond the walls. Yet for the lower class, Cavernum isn’t much safer. Children starve, and illness runs rampant. In an effort to maintain order, all children turning 18 are subject to The Dividing—a city-wide competition for the highest paying guilds. Those who aren’t accepted are sent to the fields, condemned to a life of slave-labor.  
  Princess Roselyn Malik has trained her entire life for The Dividing. She’s guaranteed a spot in the royal orchestra, but equalist rebels threaten her throne. To secure her crown, Rose must acquire the power and prestige associated with the guard. Only guardsmen have access to the amulets—powerful weapons that grant dominion over the elements.  
  Meanwhile, in Colorado, Matt will do anything to help his terminally-ill adoptive mother. For now, that means poaching to pay the bills. Until one day, Matt is attacked by a feeder and plunged into the world of Cavernum. There too, Matt is drawn to the guard, in search of a magic strong enough to save his mother.  
  But danger lurks beyond the walls, and Cavernum won’t be safe for long.

  Viv has been living alongside behindkind and fae in the Historic Renner Tea House in Melbourne for nearly a month now. In that time, she's been almost killed by friends and enemies alike, discovered that the human world is not the only world on the edges of her reality, and become a glorified babysitter for Luca, an unstable assassin of otherworldly creatures who has nightmares that are a bit too . . . real. She has uncovered mysteries and murderers—and discovered just a bit too much about herself into the bargain. 
   
  Now a small selkie has turned up on her windowsill, while a nightmare has begun stalking the floors of the Tea House, and Viv is certain the two things are connected. The selkie's human sponsor has disappeared, as has his pelt, and there's no help to be had from the selkies, who won't interfere with a traditional sojourn of one of their own on solid land. 
   
  Between her boss Jasper's dislike of doing anything he doesn't get paid for, and Luca's disinclination to do anything to help behindkind rather than humans, Viv is finding it hard to get to the bottom of the disappearance. But if she doesn't, the nightmare that has infiltrated the Tea House might burgeon into daylight reality, and the little selkie won't get his pelt back. And without his pelt, it's just a matter of time before Kyma crumbles away into dust . . .

Can the Capellos survive, or will bad blood kill them off for good?

  In A Deal in Ostriches, H. G. Wells delivers a witty and satirical short story centered on the absurdities of human ambition, vanity, and the unpredictable nature of business ventures. The story follows two enterprising men who embark on a scheme to profit from ostrich farming, lured by the booming demand for ostrich feathers in late Victorian society. As their venture unfolds, what begins as a hopeful moneymaking enterprise quickly spirals into chaos, revealing the folly of their plans and the comic misadventures that follow. With sharp irony and keen social observation, Wells critiques the fads and economic illusions of his time, crafting a lighthearted yet insightful tale about human folly, the unpredictability of success, and the often-absurd nature of get-rich-quick schemes.
