Summary

Apprentice magician Edwin has several problems. The Lantern of Illumination has gone missing. Unexpected snow is threatening his garden. And he's always been anxious and awkward about talking to people, even fellow apprentices. Especially the gorgeous and self-confident Khiy.
Khiy enjoys helping people and making friends; his magical gifts involve communication, and he's good at it. But he's found a challenge in Edwin, who's avoiding him. On top of that, he's facing a first assignment he's not sure he's ready for, even though everyone expects him to succeed.
But if they can work together, Edwin and Khiy just might solve all their problems and bring their own feelings to light.

    With Taegan held captive by the merciless warlord Hrul Bonebreaker, can Zorvut reach him before it’s too late? 
    Orcs have captured Taegan, and Zorvut knows that going after him is exactly what Hrul expects. His only hope of outmaneuvering him is to enlist the help of King Ruven and the elves. 
    Imprisoned in a dark cell, hungry and cold, Taegan knows he can’t take on a city of orcs by himself. But imprisoned alongside him is an unexpected ally: Zorvut’s mother Naydi, who wishes to be free just as much as he does. Even with their combined forces, is there any hope of escape? 
    Despite all their efforts, even after they’re reunited, there are still threats lurking outside of their view. How much more will it take for Taegan and Zorvut to find peace? Does their dream of ending the conflict and uniting their nations have a chance of success anymore?

    A brilliant literary memoir of chosen family and chosen heritage, told against the backdrop of Chicago’s North and South Sides. 
     
    As a multiracial household in Chicago’s North Side community of Rogers Park, race is at the core of Francesca T. Royster and her family's world, influencing everyday acts of parenting and the conception of what family truly means. Like Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts, this lyrical and affecting memoir focuses on a unit of three: the author; her wife Annie, who's white; and Cecilia, the Black daughter they adopt as a couple in their forties and fifties. Choosing Family chronicles this journey to motherhood while examining the messiness and complexity of adoption and parenthood from a Black, queer, and feminist perspective. Royster also explores her memories of the matriarchs of her childhood and the homes these women created in Chicago’s South Side—itself a dynamic character in the memoir—where “family” was fluid, inclusive, and not necessarily defined by marriage or other socially recognized contracts. 
        
    Calling upon the work of some of her favorite queer thinkers, including José Esteban Muñoz and Audre Lorde, Royster interweaves her experiences and memories with queer and gender theory to argue that many Black families, certainly her own, have historically had a “queer” attitude toward family: configurations that sit outside the white normative experience and are the richer for their flexibility and generosity of spirit. A powerful, genre-bending memoir of family, identity, and acceptance, Choosing Family, ultimately, is about joy—about claiming the joy that society did not intend to assign to you, or to those like you.
