Bravely
Merida goes on an all-new, life-changing adventure in this original YA novel set several years after the close of Brave!
What if you had one year to save everything you loved?
ONE PRINCESS. Merida of DunBroch needs a change. She loves her family—jovial King Fergus, proper Queen Elinor, the mischievous triplets— and her peaceful kingdom. But she’s frustrated by its sluggishness; each day, the same. Merida longs for adventure, purpose, challenge – maybe even, someday, love.
TWO GODS. But the fiery Princess never expects her disquiet to manifest by way of Feradach, an uncanny supernatural being tasked with rooting out rot and stagnation, who appears in DunBroch on Christmas Eve with the intent to demolish the realm – and everyone within. Only the intervention of the Cailleach, an ancient entity of creation, gives Merida a shred of hope: convince her family to change within the year – or suffer the eternal consequences.
THREE VOYAGES. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Merida leads a series of epic journeys to kingdoms near and far in an attempt to inspire revolution within her family. But in her efforts to save those she loves from ruin, has Merida lost sight of the Clan member grown most stagnant of all – herself?
FOUR SEASONS TO SAVE DUNBROCH – OR SEE IT DESTROYED, FOREVER.

Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater writes stories that feel like waking dreams, where reality and myth move together in ways that seem both inevitable and strange. Beloved for The Raven Cycle and The Scorpio Races, she has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary young adult fantasy. Her books are not only about magic but about mood, about the electric charge between characters, and about the beauty and danger of the unknown.
She grew up in Virginia, a homeschooled teenager who spent more time with sketchbooks, instruments, and notebooks than anything else. By sixteen she had already written dozens of novels, a private training ground for the voice that would later draw readers around the world. Her early life still lingers in her work: the wild landscapes, the haunting music, the fascination with cars and speed, and the sense that imagination is never fully separate from the everyday.
