Wild Youth
In the wilderness, troubled teens learn to behave. At least, that is what the West Sun program promised parents in 1994. But when Francesca, Tara, Daisy, Anita, and Orion are dragged into the Uinta Mountains to survive on next to nothing, they start to question whether they are truly the problem.

After a girl dies from a preventable infection, these teens, ages 14 to 17, must unite to escape remote Utah, resorting to violence to survive. For decades, the “Maniacal Five” have been silenced by the TTI; now, they share their stories to raise awareness. They recount the events of West Sun: the traumatic “therapeutic” challenges, unlikely friendships, and murder through a blend of memoir, fiction, diary entries, and interviews. Mirroring real-world practices, the TTI representative who edits the memoir discredits the survivors’ accounts with “objective” footnotes, challenging readers to discern the truth.
Violent Violet
As Sappho once said, “Someone, I believe, will remember us in the future.” The danger is: what will they forget? Set in a women’s college where academic and activist voices clash, VIOLENT VIOLET reimagines the lives of early 20th-century Anglo-lesbians Renée Vivien and Natalie Barney through a contemporary speculative lens.
Haunted by Sappho’s spirit, Morgana becomes enamored with Cleo, who she believes is Sappho’s lover reincarnate. Cleo introduces Morgana to a collegiate underworld full of narcotics, sex, and Kletoria—a secret society inspired by sapphic paganism that overlooks growing anti-elitist student protests. Eventually, due to Cleo’s perceived cruelty, their relationship falls apart, enraging Sappho and thus affecting Morgana’s ability to write—the only reason she lives at all.
Kingdomless
18-year-old Embla has achieved the impossible—she's graduated high school. Thanks to her adoptive dad, she and her brother Arkyn have finally escaped the dark realities of the foster system. But all her hopes of becoming a professional ballerina are thwarted when she touches one mysterious tree. Yggdrasill. Thrust into a realm full of Old Norse gods, powerful Kingdoms, and elves with elemental powers, Embla must rediscover the ruthless strength she once relied on. Her courage and conscience will be tested in ways she never imagined. Welcome to Elvgarð.
