scott solace

One of L. M. Montgomery's most-loved novels, now available in a beautiful new edition with cover artwork by Briana Corr Scott. Valancy Stirling wakes on the morning of her twenty-ninth birthday and worries she has nothing to live for. Not only is she an "old maid" who's never been in love, she's never had a friend of her own. Never done anything of note. Living under the thumb of her meddlesome, overbearing family, and forbidden from reading novels, she finds solace in nature books. Her only other escape is the Blue Castle, an imaginary palace where she can live the life she truly desires. When she receives a sudden, life-changing medical diagnosis, Valancy embraces a new-found freedom. It's time to finally start living. And, perhaps, even find love. Set in the Muskoka region of Ontario, The Blue Castle is full of heart, humour, and romance, and stands the test of time as one of L. M. Montgomery's most beloved books.

*Preorder now to receive the deluxe limited edition with designed edges* From USA Today and Wall St. Journal bestselling author Emma Scott comes an all-new emotional, angsty coming-of-age love story. After meeting at ten, a lonely genius and a kind-hearted girl promised to stay in touch. But Xander''s letters never reached Emery, leaving them both feeling betrayed and heartbroken. Seven years later, Xander returns to Castle Hill and crosses paths with the girl he never forgot. The academy''s rowing team offers a diversion from caring for his ailing father-but can it distract him from her? Emery Wallace is popular and wealthy, yet beneath her flawless exterior she is crumbling under her father''s high expectations. He controls her life with an iron grip, while her mother disappears into alcohol, drowning in grief over losing her oldest son. When their worlds collide again, neither can ignore the magnetic pull that ignited the moment they met. While Xander finds solace in logic and certainty, Emery reveals the humanity in our universe, showing him that, like light, we exist as both particles and waves-individual yet infinite, broken yet whole. Xander and Emery must battle forces determined to keep them apart. As Xander''s orderly life unravels and Emery''s future slips away, can their light find each other and endure?
