Now a streaming series on Prime Video! New York Times Bestseller * Publishers Weekly Best Young Adult Book of the Year * Bustle Best Young Adult Book of the Year * YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is “an uproarious historical fantasy that’s not to be missed” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history—because sometimes history needs a little help. At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren’t for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England. Like that could go wrong. And don't miss the authors' next fun read, My Plain Jane!

The Lady Janies

My Lady Jane

Long live the queen: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestselling My Lady Jane kick off an all-new historical trilogy with the classy, courtly tale of Mary, Queen of Scots—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Welcome to Renaissance France, a place of poison and plots, of beauties and beasts, of mice and . . . queens? Mary is the queen of Scotland and the jewel of the French court. Except when she’s a mouse. Yes, reader, Mary is an Eðian (shapeshifter) in a kingdom where Verities rule. It’s a secret that could cost her a head—or a tail. Luckily, Mary has a confidant in her betrothed, Francis. But things at the gilded court take a treacherous turn after the king meets a suspicious end. Thrust onto the throne, Mary and Francis face a viper’s nest of conspiracies, traps, and treason. And if Mary’s secret is revealed, heads are bound to roll. With a royally clever sense of humor, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn history on its head in this YA fantasy ideal for fans of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

My Contrary Mary

It’s aliiiiiiiive! The New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane present an electric, poetic, and (almost) historical tale of the one and only Mary Shelley—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Mary may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father’s bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that’ll inspire a work worthy of her parentage—and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley. Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts—in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada’s calculations, there’s always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own. Pan, a.k.a. Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada's greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous . . . or how to make him work at all. When fate connects our two masterminds, Mary and Ada learn that they are fae—magical people with the ability to make whatever they imagine become real. But when their dream team results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada find themselves hunted by a mad scientist who won't stop until he finds out how they made a real boy out of spare parts. With comic genius and a truly electrifying sense of adventure, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn the classics on their head in this YA fantasy that’s ideal for fans of Frankenstein and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.

My Imaginary Mary

A Kirkus Best Young Adult Book of 2024 My Lady Jane fixed Jane Grey’s tragic past—and now My Salty Mary will do the same for the infamous pirate Mary Read! Perfect for fans of The Princess Bride and A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, New York Times bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows are back with a fantastical, romantical, and piratical historical fantasy remix that marries the story of The Little Mermaid with the life and times of infamous lady pirate Mary Read. Don't call this mermaid ""little""—call her ""captain,"" unless you want to walk the plank. Mary is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesn't love her back. Which is inconvenient. Since she's a mermaid, being brokenhearted means she'll—poof!—turn into sea-foam. But instead, Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn't willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she's ready to make a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen. She won't let anyone stop her—not Blackbeard's cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who's having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can't be a pirate just because she's a girl. She may not be the best man for the job, but she'll definitely prove that she's worth her salt. And don’t miss the Prime Video streaming hit My Lady Jane!

My Salty Mary

Hold on to your hats: The authors who brought you the New York Times bestseller My Plain Jane, which Booklist praised as “delightfully deadpan” (starred review) and Publishers Weekly called “a clever, romantic farce” (starred review), are back with another irreverent historical adventure—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers. Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou—better known as werewolves. And where there are garou, there’re hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill’s Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank “the Pistol Prince” Butler. After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there’s talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving—meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they’re a day late and a Jane short. In this next read for fans of A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, bestselling authors Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows, and Brodi Ashton bring their signature spark to the side-splittin’, whopper-filled (but actually kind of factual?) tale of Calamity Jane.

My Calamity Jane

New soul Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why. No soul Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society.

When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame? Heart Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all? Jodi Meadows expertly weaves soul-deep romance, fantasy, and danger into an extraordinary tale of new life.

Incarnate Trilogy

Incarnate

Toda história tem sempre duas versões… Inglaterra, século XVI, dinastia Tudor. O jovem Rei Eduardo VI está à beira da morte e o destino do país é incerto. Para evitar que o poder caia em mãos erradas (leia-se: nas mãos de Maria Sangrenta), Eduardo é persuadido por seu conselheiro a nomear Lady Jane Grey, sua prima e melhor amiga, como a legítima sucessora Aos 16 anos, Jane está em um relacionamento muito sério com seus livros até ser surpreendida pela trágica notícia de que terá de se casar com um completo estranho que (ninguém lembrou de contar para ela) tem um talento muito especial: a habilidade de se transformar em cavalo. E, pior ainda, descobre que está prestes a se tornar a nova Rainha da Inglaterra! Arrastada para o centro de um conflito político, Jane suspeita de que sua coroação na verdade esconde um grande plano conspiratório para usurpar o trono. Agora, ela precisa definitivamente manter a cabeça no lugar se… bem, se não quiser literalmente perder a cabeça. Um rei relutante, uma rainha-relâmpago ainda mais relutante e um nobre (e) garanhão puro-sangue que não se conformam com o destino que lhes foi reservado; uma história apaixonante, envolvente, cativante, sedutora… e mais uma porção de sinônimos que só Lady Jane seria capaz de listar. Tudo com uma leve semelhança com os fatos históricos. …afinal, às vezes a História precisa de uma mãozinha.

Minha Lady Jane

Engeland, 1553. Je denkt misschien dat je dit verhaal al kent. Maar laten we je geheugen toch even opfrissen: Jane Grey had het geluk - of de pech, dat is maar net hoe je het bekijkt - dat haar oma de jongere zus was van de beruchte Henry VIII. Je weet wel, die koning die maar liefst zes keer trouwde en twee van zijn echtgenotes een kopje kleiner liet maken. Letterlijk. Om een lang verhaal kort te maken: Henry's enige nog levende zoon was ernstig ziek en om de kroon niet in de verkeerde handen te laten vallen, moest Jane trouwen, en snel een beetje. Niet lang daarna kreeg ze plots alle macht over het land in haar schoot geworpen. Ze werd koningin, maar zat slechts negen dagen op de troon. Daarna verloor ook zij haar hoofd. Wij vertellen niet dat verhaal. We hebben gaandeweg wat kleine details veranderd en hier en daar een vleugje magie toegevoegd. Het is de moeite waard, dat beloven we. Dit is hoe het verhaal van Jane Grey éígenlijk had moeten gaan.

Lang leve Jane

Die komische, fantastische, romantische, völlig wahre Geschichte von Lady Jane Grey! Okay ... nicht wirklich. EDWARD ist der König von England. Doch er liegt auch im Sterben, was ungünstig ist, da er erst sechzehn ist und viel lieber seinen ersten Kuss planen würde, als darüber nachzudenken, wer einmal seine Krone erben wird. JANE ist Edwards Cousine und viel mehr an Büchern als an Romantik interessiert. Zu Janes Unglück hat Edward ihre Hochzeit arrangiert, um die Thronfolge zu sichern. Allerdings ist an ihrem Verlobten etwas seltsam … GIFFORD ist ein Pferd. Das heißt, er ist ein Eðian (eth-y-un, für die Uneingeweihten). Jeden Tag bei Tagesanbruch wird er zu einem edlen Hengst, doch dann – bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit – wacht er stets mit einem Mund voller Heu auf. Das ist alles sehr würdelos! ABER SO RICHTIG ZUR SACHE GEHT ES, als Edward, Jane und G in eine gefährliche Verschwörung hineingezogen werden. Da das Schicksal des Königreichs auf dem Spiel steht, müssen unsere Helden selbst ein paar Verschwörungen anzetteln. Aber können sie ihren Plan durchziehen, bevor sie noch ihren Kopf verlieren?

Je denkt misschien dat je het verhaal kent. Na een vreselijke jeugd wordt de straatarme wees Jane Eyre gouvernante van Thornfield Hall. Daar ontmoet ze de donkerharige en mysterieuze Mr. Rochester. Ondanks hun aanzienlijke leeftijdsverschil (yikes!) en zijn opvliegende karakter (dubbel yikes!), worden ze smoorverliefd (zucht) en Lezer, ze trouwt met hem. Wij hebben een ander verhaal te vertellen.
