My name is Norah Canivan, and for 50 years I’ve kept a secret.
It is a secret about the girl I discovered hiding on our sorry patch of land – the girl in the tattered green dress who was running from something – and someone.
The Girl in Green brought something different into my young life. And something darker. And when she died, nothing was ever the same after.
For 50 years, only I’ve known what really happened to The Girl in Green.
And now, these many years later, my secret may kill me.

A young sword prodigy must impersonate a lost princess and throw her life into a deadly political game, in this kinetic epic fantasy novel by the author of the award-winning Majat Code series
Naia dreams of becoming a Jaihar Blademaster, but after assaulting a teacher, her future seems ruined. The timely intervention of a powerful stranger suddenly elevates her into elite Upper Grounds training. She has no idea that the stranger is Dal Gassan, head of the Daljeer Circle. Seventeen years ago he witnessed the massacre of Challimar’s court and rescued its sole survivor, a baby girl. Gassan plans to thrust a blade into the machinations of imperial succession: Naia. Disguised as the legendary Princess Xarimet of Challimar, Naia must challenge the imperial family, and win. Naia is no princess, but with her desert-kissed eyes and sword skills she might be close enough…
Wayne Santos’s debut THE CHIMERA CODE, set in a cyberpunk, magical future; about a mercenary and her team, who are hired to erase a magician who’s already dead, to Kate Coe at Solaris, for publication in July 2020, by Jennie Goloboy.

Publishers Weekly: Bensen has created some larger-than-life characters, but the true star of the tale is Junction itself. The author’s creativity gambols across the planet along with his characters, and the journey is as much about the weird creatures as it is about the human drama.
