Karen Haber: THIEVES' CARNIVAL
Born to thieves, raised in thievery, Mouse is lean, hungry, and ready to win the annual Race at Thieves' Carnival. But when she draws the ne'er-do-well minstrel Ciaran as her partner, all hope vanishes like smoke -- until, at Ciaran's prodding, the pair actually manages to steal the sacred Portal Cube, in the process unleashing a plague of displaced Time that threatens the foundations of the great city itself! An all-new prequel to Leigh Brackett's famous tale of Ciaran and Mouse.

Leigh Brackett: THE JEWEL OF BAS
Captives by chance in the demigod Bas's forbidden fortress, with only their wits and their music to help them, can the minstrel Ciaran and the volatile Mouse uncover the mystery at the heart of Bas's engines of oppression? Outside in the world, a shadow threatens the sky's multiple suns -- and time is running out. An incandescent classic of science fantasy from the author of The Nemesis from Terra and the sreenplay for The Empire Strikes Back.
