The Valiant was supposed to save us. Instead, it triggered the end of the world. Earth is in shambles. Everyone, even the poorest among us, invested in the Valiant’s space mining mission in the hopes we’d be saved from ourselves. But the second the ship leaves Earth’s atmosphere, our fate is sealed. The alien invasion begins. They pour into cities around the world through time portals, possessing humans, forcing us to kill one another. And for whatever reason, my brother is their number one target. Now the fate of the world lies in the hands of me, a seventeen-year-old girl, but with the help of my best friend, Justin—who’s suddenly starting to feel like more—maybe if we save my brother, we can save us all...

Saville hates sewing. How can she not when her father, the Tailor, loves his bolts of velvet and silk far more than he's ever loved her? Yet, when he is struck ill shortly after they arrive in the city of Reggen, Saville must don boy's clothes in the hopes of gaining a commission from the king to keep them fed. The kingdom is soon on edge when stories spread of an army of giants led by a man who cannot be killed. But giants are just stories, and no man is immortal. And then the giants do come to the city gates, two larger-than-life scouts whom Saville cunningly tricks into leaving. The Tailor of Reggen is the hero of the kingdom, the king promises his sister's hand in marriage, and by the time Saville reaches the palace doors, it is widely known that the Tailor single-handedly killed the giants. When her secret—that she's a girl—is quickly discovered by Lord Galen Verras, the king's cousin, Saville's swept into the twists and turns of court politics. The deathless man is very real, and he will use his giant army to ensure he is given the throne freely or by force. Now, only a tailor girl with courage and cunning can see beyond the tales to discover the truth and save the kingdom again. Debut author Sarah McGuire artfully crafts a story of understanding, identity, and fighting to protect those you love most in Valiant, a rich reimagining of "The Brave Little Tailor."

Every wish counts. Every wish matters. Without them, life would lack surprise and be far less wonderful and good. When last year’s Christmas wish goes ungranted for the first time in her life, Lovie Watson accepts that it is a sign it’s time to stop believing in magic and start living in reality as an adult. What she doesn’t know is that the wish granting sentry assigned to her since childhood has been doing everything in his power to make the wish happen. Without success. Anden of the Valiant has until midnight this Christmas Eve to grant Lovie’s selfless wish and keep her light and faith alive… if he can just figure out how to do it without breaking the most sacred of his kind’s ancient and time-honored rules. Namely to never insert oneself personally in the granting of a wish. But if that is the only way to protect and preserve her unique trust in the universe, he may not have a choice. The consequence of a selfless wish going ungranted has always been devastating to both the wisher and the sentry. Both the Watsons and the Valiant have suffered through the pain of an ungranted selfless wish once before. To put both families through it again would be utterly cruel. Will it all be left to Fate? Or might Lovie and her Valiant sentry have the courage to redefine the rules and keep the magic of the season alive in the hearts of millions?
