New Releases by Shea Ernshaw

*LIMITED FIRST EDITION COMES WITH A STAMPED CASE AND ILLUSTRATED ENDPAPERS* A new adult novel from New York Times bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, in which a woman rediscovers the mythical island she stumbled upon as a child—and the man she once met who apparently hasn’t aged. The night Clay Lockhart’s wife dies, a violent storm tears their home—and the eight hectares of land beneath it—away from the Scottish coast, sending it adrift into the Atlantic. Thirty years later, twelve-year-old Ellie Mills discovers the fabled floating island off the coast of Nova Scotia and finds Clay still living in the weatherworn farmhouse perched on its highest hill. When the island vanishes overnight, Ellie is left questioning whether it ever existed at all. But decades later, the island resurfaces—and Ellie, now in her thirties, returns, determined to uncover the truth. What she finds is even stranger: Clay hasn’t aged a single day. Faced with the impossible, Ellie learns that some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved—and that a life shaped by wonder may hold more promise than one bound by certainty. With her signature atmospheric, lyrical prose, Shea Ernshaw offers us an original work of folklore with a masterful modern touch. A haunting tale, Habits of the Sea spans centuries and coastlines, journeys through time and memory, and redefines the very meaning of love itself.

Seventeen-year-old Lark lives in a decaying family home where white petals cause the locals to fall in love with anyone who bears the Goode last name, but when she meets a boy who seems unaffected by the family curse, she finds herself falling into a feeling she has spent her life trying to avoid.

De Shea Enshaw, autora de dois livros do New York Times e vencedora do Oregon Book Award, A maldição do mar e O bosque das coisas perdidas pela primeira vez juntos em um kit com um lindo marcador metalizado. A maldição do mar Há dois séculos, três irmãs foram condenadas à morte por, supostamente, cometerem bruxaria. Pedras foram amarradas em seus tornozelos, e elas morreram afogadas nas águas profundas que margeiam a cidade. Agora, por um breve período de tempo – a cada dia primeiro de junho até o solstício de verão –, diz a lenda que as irmãs retornam, roubando os corpos de três meninas para que, por meio deles, possam buscar sua vingança, seduzindo e afogando meninos até a morte. Mas quando corpos de meninos locais começam a aparecer no litoral, o clima de desconfiança e medo atinge a cidade, dando início a uma verdadeira caça às bruxas. O bosque das coisas perdidas Desde os primórdios dos contos de fadas somos ensinados a temer o que se esconde nas florestas escuras, e as florestas que cercam a cidadezinha de Fir Haven são ainda mais sinistras. Quando dorme, a floresta lhe permitirá uma passagem segura. Mas, se despertada, esteja preparado para correr. Nora Walker vem de uma longa linhagem de bruxas naturais que compartilham uma conexão especial com o Bosque de Vime e é essa conexão que a leva até Oliver Huntsman, o garoto que desapareceu durante a pior nevasca dos últimos anos. Ele deveria estar morto, mas foi encontrado vivo na floresta, sem qualquer lembrança do que aconteceu enquanto esteve desaparecido. Mas Nora pode sentir a presença de Oliver despertando a floresta, e não demora até perceber que, para manter as árvores adormecidas, ela precisará descobrir como o garoto sobreviveu na floresta, e o que o levou até lá em primeiro lugar. Porém, Oliver tem seus próprios segredos, porque parece que ele não foi o único a desaparecer naquela fatídica noite, duas semanas atrás...

An illness cursing the land forces seventeen-year-old Vega, the Last Astronomer, to venture across the wilderness to discover the stars message that will save her people.

Travis Wren has an unusual talent for locating missing people. Hired by families as a last resort, he requires only a single object to find the person who has vanished. When he takes on the case of Maggie St. James-a well-known author of dark, macabre children''s books-he''s led to a place many believed to be only a legend. Called Pastoral, this reclusive community was founded in the 1970s by like-minded people searching for a simpler way of life. By all accounts, the commune shouldn''t exist anymore and soon after Travis stumbles upon it...he disappears. Just like Maggie St. James. Years later, Theo, a lifelong member of Pastoral, discovers Travis''s abandoned truck beyond the border of the community. No one is allowed in or out, not when there''s a risk of bringing a disease-rot-into Pastoral. Unravelling the mystery of what happened reveals secrets that Theo, his wife, Calla, and her sister, Bee, keep from one another. Secrets that prove their perfect, isolated world isn''t as safe as they believed-and that darkness takes many forms.

But when Sally and Zero accidentally uncover a long-hidden doorway to an ancient realm called Dream Town, she''ll unknowingly set into motion a chain of sinister events that put her future as Pumpkin Queen, and the future of Halloween Town itself, into jeopardy.

Die 17-jährige Penny kümmert sich um den alten Leuchtturm. Wie viele Einheimische hat sie sich mit dem Schicksal der Stadt abgefunden. Sie weiß, dass das Meer auch dieses Jahr wieder drei Leichen ans Ufer spülen wird. Aber nur Penny sieht, was andere nicht sehen ...

Certains disent que les bois de Wicker Woods sont magiques. Hantés, mêmes. Nora Walker, héritière d’une longue lignée de sorcière, sait à quoi s’en tenir : toutes les femmes de sa famille partagent un lien particulier avec la forêt. Et c’est ce lien qui met Oliver Huntsman sur sa route. Lorsque l’adolescente le retrouve, gelé, au milieu de ces arbres inquiétants, elle n’en croit pas ses yeux. Oliver, c’est le garçon du Camp de Redressement pour jeunes en difficulté qui a disparu en pleine tempête de neige voilà plusieurs semaines. Il devrait être mort. Et pourtant, il est là, vivant. Nora le recueille chez elle et tombe amoureuse de lui. Mais elle ne peut s’empêcher de remarquer qu’en présence du jeune homme les bois réagissent étrangement et de se demander comment il a pu survivre à cette nuit de tempête qui aurait dû le tuer. Elle comprend que son nouvel ami cache un secret. Oliver, de son côté, est prêt à tout pour garder ses secrets enfouis. Car il n’est pas le seul à avoir disparu cette nuit-là.

From New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep comes a haunting romance perfect for fans of Practical Magic, where dark fairy tales and enchanted folklore collide after a boy, believed to be missing, emerges from the magical woods—and falls in love with the witch determined to unravel his secrets. Be careful of the dark, dark wood… Especially the woods surrounding the town of Fir Haven. Some say these woods are magical. Haunted, even. Rumored to be a witch, only Nora Walker knows the truth. She and the Walker women before her have always shared a special connection with the woods. And it’s this special connection that leads Nora to Oliver Huntsman—the same boy who disappeared from the Camp for Wayward Boys weeks ago—and in the middle of the worst snowstorm in years. He should be dead, but here he is alive, and left in the woods with no memory of the time he’d been missing. But Nora can feel an uneasy shift in the woods at Oliver’s presence. And it’s not too long after that Nora realizes she has no choice but to unearth the truth behind how the boy she has come to care so deeply about survived his time in the forest, and what led him there in the first place. What Nora doesn’t know, though, is that Oliver has secrets of his own—secrets he’ll do anything to keep buried, because as it turns out, he wasn’t the only one to have gone missing on that fateful night all those weeks ago. For as long as there have been fairy tales, we have been warned to fear what lies within the dark, dark woods and in Winterwood, New York Times bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, shows us why.

Il y a deux siècles, trois jeunes femmes ont été noyées par les habitants de Sparrow, une ville côtière de l’Oregon. Accusées d’être des sorcières, Marguerite, Aurora et Hazel Swan ont été jetées dans l’océan, des pierres attachées aux chevilles. Depuis, chaque année au 1er juin, les sœurs Swan sortent des eaux de la baie et prennent possession des corps de trois adolescentes. Sous les traits de filles du coin, elles exercent leur vengeance en ensorcelant des jeunes hommes et en les noyant près du port. Pendant que les touristes se pressent dans la ville, tristement célèbre à cause de sa légende locale, on retrouve des cadavres le long du rivage. Mais cette année, Penny, une adolescente de dix-sept ans qui a vécu à Sparrow toute sa vie, sait comment briser la malédiction. Son plan est parfait, du moins jusqu’à ce que Bo Carter, un garçon de son âge, arrive en ville la veille du réveil des sœurs Swan. La raison de sa venue est suspecte. Ce que les deux adolescents ne tardent pas à réaliser, c’est qu’ils se cachent mutuellement de lourds secrets... Penny arrivera-t-elle à conjurer le sort avant qu’il ne soit trop tard, pour elle comme pour Bo?
