  The New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide shines a light on shocking events surrounding Portland's dark history in this gripping novel of love, lore, and betrayal.  
    
  She came from a lineage known for good fortune … by those who don't know the whole story.  
    
  Oregon, 1888. Amid the subterranean labyrinth of Portland's notorious Shanghai Tunnels, a woman awakens in an underground cell, drugged and disguised. Celia soon realizes she's a "shanghaied" victim on the verge of being shipped off as forced labor, leaving behind those she loves most. Although well accustomed to adapting for survival—being half-Chinese, passing as white during an era fraught with anti-Chinese sentiment—she fears that far more than her own fate hangs in the balance. 
    
  As she pieces together the twisting path that led to her abduction, from serving as a maid for the family of a dubious mayor to becoming entwined in the case of a goldminers' massacre, revelations emerge of a child left in peril. Desperate, Celia must find a way to escape and return to a place where unearthed secrets could prove deadlier than the dark recesses of Chinatown. 
    
  A captivating tale of resilience and hope, The Girls of Good Fortune explores the complexity of family and identity, the importance of stories that echo through generations, and the power of strength found beneath the surface.

  FBI agent Ray Volk is assigned to a task force to investigate a tragic accident: the disappearance of interplanetary passenger liner ValuTrip Cardinal, carrying 500 souls between Mars and Earth on a routine run.

  Martian exchange student Kelly Rack knows the disappearance is no accident. She survived the ships' hijacking, but learns the former cruise entertainer leading the pirates has plans for the passengers, and they don't include sightseeing.

She forces Kelly to climb through service tunnels on sabotage runs, risking capture and death.

  Halsey Ambrosius is the best elemental monster-hunter in her Clan militia. 
   
   
   
  Have you ever wondered where monsters came from? Their origin has been kept a secret for centuries. As long as Halsey and Brigham, her cousin turned mission partner, were on the hunt, you didn't need to wonder, or worry. Till now. 
   
   
   
  Keeping people in the dark is not so easy when supernatural things stop following the rules and the Clan Council doesn't want to accept that something is very, very wrong. 
   
   
   
  It's a full moon, the Summer Solstice, and an ancient coffin has washed up on the beaches of Moher, Ireland. Could the Mother of Monsters really have returned? It's just not possible. 
   
   
   
  Halsey's convinced it's more than mere coincidence. The Ambrosius Clan just doesn't want to believe. 
   
   
   
  They think Halsey is losing her mind—an apparent family trait—and needs a break from monster hunting. Mandatory leave isn't as much fun if it's mandatory. 
   
   
   
  But the Ambrosius Clan Council still knows that when all else fails—and all other militia operatives just aren't up to snuff—Halsey is still the best they've got. Even if everything they thought they knew about being monster-hunters is about to change forever.

  Howard's End is about three families in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. The three families represent different gradations of the Edwardian middle class: the Wilcoxes, who are rich capitalists with a fortune made in the Colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings (Margaret, Tibby, and Helen), who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie and have a lot in common with the real-life Bloomsbury Group; and the Basts, a couple who are struggling members of the lower-middle class. The Schlegel sisters try to help the poor Basts and try to make the Wilcoxes less prejudiced.
