YOUNG ADULT KING OF SCARS Imprint/Macmillan UK/ANZ: Orion Nikolai Lantsov has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country’s bloody civil war —and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, the young king must find a way to refill Ravka’s MIDDLE GRADE coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army. Yet, with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha Squaller, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren’t meant to stay buried—and some wounds aren’t meant to heal. * cover not yet available Agent: Joanna Volpe PICTURE BOOKS Editor: Erin Stein SIX OF CROWS and CROOKED KINGDOM publishers: Romanian: Editura Trei Bosnian: Sahinpasic Russian: AST Japanese: Hayakawa Japan Portuguese (Brazil): Autentica Serbian: Urban Reads Lithuania: Aukso Pieva Croatian: Znanje Slovak: Slovart Polish: Mag Jacek Rodek Czech: Albatros Slovenian: Mladinska Knjiga Zalozba Spanish (World): Hidra Portuguese (Portugal): Asa Danish: Carslen Swedish: Gilla Bocker Dutch: Blossom Books Romanian: Editura Trei Thai: WeLearn Estonian: Pegasus Russian: AST Turkish: Marti Serbian: Urban Reads French: Milan Ukrainian: Vivat German: Droemer World Spanish: Hidra Vietnamese: Kim Dong Hebrew: Aryeh Nir Swedish: Gilla Bocker Hungarian: Könyvmolyképző CO-AGENTS Thai: Small World Publications Indonesian: KPG Turkish: Marti Latvian: Prometejs Vietnamese: Tre Publishing House Mongolian: Azkhur Persian: Behdad Publishing Polish: Mag Jacek Rodek VERONICA Veronica writes books for young adults.

PRAISE FOR CARVE THE MARK: #1 New York Times bestseller * Wall Street Journal bestseller * USA Today bestseller * #1 IndieBound bestseller In the second book of the Carve the Mark duology, globally bestselling Divergent author Veronica Roth reveals how Cyra and Akos fulfill their fates. The Fates Divide is a richly imagined tale of hope and resilience told in four stunning perspectives. The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births. The fates, once determined, are inescapable. Akos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek—a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead—reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever. As Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost. For Cyra, that could mean taking the life of the man who may—or may not—be her father. For Akos, it could mean giving his own. In a stunning twist, the two will discover how fate defines their lives in ways most unexpected.
