When a Cherokee teen's wolf spirit guide transforms into a human girl to teach him confidence, he must choose between his crush on a rancher's daughter and the she-wolf who literally saved his life-all while navigating adoption trauma, cultural identity, and the three-year countdown until the next blood moon. A Cherokee teen. A shape-shifting wolf. Three years to choose between two worlds. Fifteen-year-old Dakota Buschkoetter has survived a lot: his mother's death, his father's imprisonment, adoption by a German woman and her military husband, and being dumped in Oklahoma with a biological father who's practically a stranger. But nothing prepared him for Chandra-the she-wolf who saves him from deadly poison, then shows up at breakfast as a human girl. According to Cherokee legend, spirit guides appear during blood moons to help lost souls. Chandra's mission? Turn this stuttering, awkward "apple" (red on the outside, white in the middle) into a confident Cherokee man worthy of asking Riana-the flame-haired rancher's daughter-to prom. There's just one problem: Chandra's falling in love with him too. Now Dakota's juggling: A she-wolf who doesn't understand doors, toilets, or why you can't eat the cat His birth father Sam, a holistic healer still grieving Dakota's mother Grandma Enola, who communicates in equal parts Cherokee wisdom and Star Wars quotes Riana, whose own father was a wolf spirit guide (and who definitely hates wolves) His adoptive parents, who want to drag him to Germany And a three-year countdown until the next blood moon, when Chandra must choose: human forever, or wolf forever Perfect for fans of Elatsoe, Cemetery Boys, and Heartstopper, BLOOD MOON WOLF is a YA fantasy rom-com that proves finding yourself is complicated-especially when your spirit guide keeps peeing on the houseplants.

This story of Jennie Jerome weaves together two compelling timelines: Jennie's extraordinary life from American heiress to British political force, and a fictional 1964 interview where an aging Winston Churchill reflects on his mother's profound influence while painting at his beloved Chartwell estate. Through the eyes of fictional journalist Sophia Carter, readers witness Churchill's final months as he reveals how his mother shaped not just British high society, but the character of the man who would lead Britain through its darkest hour. From Jennie's whirlwind romance and political campaigns to organizing a hospital ship during the Boer War and founding an influential literary magazine, she refused to be merely decorative in a world that expected women to be seen, not heard. In 1873, nineteen-year-old Jennie Jerome from Brooklyn met Lord Randolph Churchill at a sailing regatta on the Isle of Wight. Three days later, they were engaged. Seven months after their wedding, she gave birth to Winston Churchill-a half-American son who would one day save Western civilization. Co-author Sandi Jerome discovered this family connection when she learned that Winston Churchill was her husband's fifth cousin, a relationship that sparked years of research into the Jerome family's fascinating history. Drawing on Jennie's own memoirs and extensive historical research, the authors bring to life the American heiress who taught her son that courage, not breeding, makes great leaders. Winston Churchill expert David R. Stokes, who has written extensively about Churchill and visited Blenheim Palace, collaborates with Jerome to weave together documented history with imagined conversations that capture Jennie's wit, ambition, and unshakeable belief in her son's destiny. Based on source material from Jennie's memoirs, this book illuminates how an American woman's influence spanned decades to help forge the "Special Relationship" between Britain and America. Perfect for fans of The Gilded Age, Downton Abbey, and anyone fascinated by the untold stories of remarkable women who shaped history. Sandi Jerome is currently developing Jennie Jerome's story into a limited television series.

The diplomatic mission was always a trap. The only question is whether Princess Kira can escape it. When Princess Kira and Sir Henry journey to the Kingdom of Romaland to negotiate a peace treaty, they expect political maneuvering and uncomfortable compromises. What they find is a nightmare disguised as civilization. Prince William's castle is a monument to systematic cruelty-talking creatures imprisoned in breeding chambers, thinking beings hunted for sport and served at elaborate feasts, an entire philosophy built on the idea that strength grants the right to dominate and consume the weak. And the prince has a special interest in Kira: he knows about her hidden raptor heritage and has been planning for months to add a royal specimen to his collection. Every dinner becomes a test of conscience. Every negotiation pushes Kira to compromise her values. Every choice forces her to decide who she is and what she stands for. Can she smile at monsters while plotting against them? Can she maintain diplomatic relations with people who view her friends as livestock? And when the final test comes-when Prince William serves the young trolls she tried to save and orders her to eat-will she choose survival or principle? With Sir Henry at her side, an insane frog named Freddy as an unlikely spy, and a secret resistance network offering one chance at rebellion, Kira must navigate impossible choices. Sign the treaty and save lives at the cost of her soul. Refuse and guarantee war. Or find a third path-one that might cost her everything but at least lets her face the mirror without shame. "Dangerous Treaty" is the thrilling third book in the Kira and Henry series, perfect for readers who love fantasy adventures with moral complexity, fierce friendships, and protagonists who refuse to compromise their humanity even when the world demands it. Fans of Tamora Pierce, Shannon Hale, and epic tales where compassion is the ultimate form of courage will find themselves unable to put this book down.
