Every morning before sunrise, Nora unlocks the Blue Star Café in the small town of Marlowe, pours the first pot of coffee, and holds together a life that's been stretched thin since her divorce — a young son named Eli who notices everything, a diner full of regulars who feel like family, and never quite enough hours in the day. Then Elias Mercer starts appearing every Tuesday and Thursday at exactly eleven forty-five, demanding a clean spoon and gravy without a skin on it, a gruff and exac...

An infant is left in a canvas tote bag outside a daycare center at dawn — not crying, not distressed, but watching Caroline Reyes with a steadiness no newborn should have. As the boy, Elias, grows up in the Hale family, a golden thread of unexplained connection binds him to a girl named Vera he's never met, pulling both children toward a mystery buried in a hemlock-woods archive and a century-old grief that was never properly laid to rest. But not every bond in this story is inherited. Jon...

Margaret has spent seven years caring for Carl, her husband of fifty years, as a rare brain disease has slowly taken him from her — one crushed pill, one careful morning, one small mercy at a time.

The two families have never met. Their streets don't touch. But when a strange, unexplainable light appears at ...

Caleb Hale is born in a Boise hospital in 2029 from an embryo that spent sixty-four years frozen in a classified 1965 program called EDEN-3 — and the moment he takes his first breath, a dormant file wakes up in a server closet no one remembers exists. Across the country, a six-year-old girl named Elara Voss starts drawing geometry she's never been taught, insisting that "he" has finally arrived. As Caleb grows, he begins to sense the shape of a second life layered beneath his own — one bui...

Across centuries and continents, from a plague-stricken village to a blood tithe struck in desperation to modern reunions written in the language of fate, Clara becomes something neither fully human nor fully monster: a woman caught betwee...

What if the story of Christianity is far more complex than most people realize? In 1945, a chance discovery in the Egyptian desert uncovered ancient manuscripts that had been hidden for centuries, texts containing forgotten gospels, secret teachings, and alternative visions of Jesus and the early Church. Why were these writings excluded from the Bible? Who decided which books would become Scripture and which would be condemned, suppressed, or lost to history? From the Gospel of Thomas and ...

This book critically rethinks the dominant narratives around the so-called ‘liberal international’/‘rules-based’ order, by examining how China discursively engages with, and mirrors, the very hegemonic order it contests. Moving beyond the commonplace representation of China as a paradoxically ‘revisionist’ yet occasionally ‘compliant’ power, it argues that what appears contradictory is, in fact, a coherent counterhegemonic strategy rooted in discursive rearticulation rather than outright r...

Abandoned as a newborn on the steps of a Georgia orphanage, Phil grows into a boy too large for any room he enters — and too watchful for anyone to ever truly know. Raised by the sharp love of Sister Agnes and marked early by a body that outgrows his childhood before his mind can catch up, Phil is shaped first by rejection, then by the brutal grace of the football field, and finally by war. From the orphanage laundry room to the roar of Friday night lights, from a jungle in Vietnam to the ...
