Once upon a time, there were rhymes.

Nursery rhymes have been a part of childhood around the world for as long as we can remember, passed down through generations. But what if we could see them in a new light? What if we could explore them from a different perspective, or in a time and place we never expected?

In ONCE UPON A RHYME, twelve young adult authors reimagine the verses we thought we knew for a brand-new audience. Whether it’s an enchanted rainstorm portending an unwelcome gift, a collapsing sky-bridge over a world cast in darkness, or a magic horn that causes mischief and mayhem, each fantastical tale offers a fresh perspective on the songs and poems we’ve heard a thousand times.

What happens when old rhymes are brought to life in new ways? The stories in these pages are just the beginning of the answer.

Darien, hunted by the very magicians who trained him and marked for death after breaking his oath, has only one goal: survive long enough to reunite with his beloved Kiri.

In a hidden sanctuary, Arrin learns to wield her gift of prophecy. But her visions reveal a world shadowed by ruin, and Darien stands at its center, leaving her torn between the possibility of saving the future and the reality of betraying her friend.

Meanwhile, whispers of an ancient evil stir, and two young royals—one on the land, and one under the sea—must decide what they are willing to risk… and what they are willing to destroy.

The law of the sea is give and take, ebb and flow. Long ago, it took Lynnette’s brother. Now, it’s brought her a friend. Or is he an enemy?

Hidden away in an island cove, the Convent of Saer is a peaceful place guarded by mermaids, filled with endless sunlight and brightly clothed nuns. Despite the beauty around her, ten-year-old Lynnette is terribly lonely. In the midst of a frightening storm, she prays for a friend. The next morning, a half-drowned boy washes ashore.

Maddox is not what she expected. Clearly distrustful from the start, the eleven-year-old stranger cries too much and is skeptical of the Convent’s beliefs. If that weren’t bad enough, he’s the son of an emperor who wants to conquer Saer. When a royal guard arrives to track down the prince, Lynette and Maddox’s newfound friendship is put to the test. Lynnette must confront the Convent’s fear, protect her home, and face her own past before the friend the sea gave her is taken away.

Inspired by The Little Mermaid and When Marnie Was There, What the Sea Brings is a cozy middle grade fantasy that explores the importance and hardships of family, friendship, and faith.

A hunted mage. A cursed land. An impossible debt.

When Hitomi first crossed the Burnt Lands to rescue her mentor from unjust imprisonment, the phoenix came to her aid. His price? Release the monster-riddled lands from the curses that have raged there for centuries—a fight more than a few mages have lost their lives to.

Now Hitomi is back, her magic bound within her and the High Council of Mages’ best rogue hunters on her heels. Luckily for the phoenix, Hitomi’s not about to let little details like that keep her from paying her debts.

But when an allied mage wreaks havoc with her plans, Hitomi plunges into a desperate race to stop the work she started. It will take every ally Hitomi can summon, and whatever tricks she has left up her sleeve, to divert the spells of the Burnt Lands before their cataclysmic power destroys everything—and everyone—in their path.

Being a teenage genius is tough. Being the President’s daughter is tougher. But being both while secretly working for a classified branch of the Secret Service? That’s 17-year-old Alix Forrester’s life now, and it’s about to get even more complicated.

Now she’s not just dealing with a shattered spine from a suspicious “accident”—she’s training to protect her father from an unknown assassin. Enter Ian Donckers, her mysterious new teacher and Secret Service instructor, who’s barely four years older than her. He’s brilliant, challenging, and definitely off-limits, which doesn’t stop her heart from raising every time he’s near. Then there’s Sam—her father’s favorite intern and her longtime crush—who finally kisses her right before he’s accused of plotting to kill the President. To clear Sam’s name and save her father’s life, Alix will need more than her genius level IQ—she’ll need to become the spy she never wanted to be. Caught between her impossible feelings for Ian and her desperate need to prove Sam’s innocence, Alex discovers that mixing love and espionage might be the deadliest combination of all.

With a killer hiding in plain sight, a White House full of suspects, and five precious seconds that change everything, Alix must prove she’s more than just the President’s broken daughter. She might be the only one who can save him—if she doesn’t get herself killed first.
