A story that evokes beloved family

films such as Babe and Ratatouille

Alicía Catalina Cortés is a Spanish cow who defies tradition to follow her dream of running with the bulls during the fiesta of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. Through her journey, Alicía learns what it truly means to be noble and brave.

Toro is set in the colorful backdrop of Pamplona, Spain, during Sanfermines and the running of the bulls, famed as one of the most exhilarating, dangerous, and spectacular events around the world. Ultimately, it’s a heartfelt, coming-of-age fable told from the cattle’s point of view.

 

Like Charlotte’s Web, The Jungle Book, and Fantastic Mr. Fox, talking animals drive the narrative. The first in a projected three-book series, Toro is a middle grade fiction story that will charm, awe, and inspire generation after generation. It’s a timeless tale for the ages—for all ages.

Vampyrates Title Heading

A rich blend of genres in which

Treasure Island meets Dracula

At the dawn of the Second Age of Atlas, when Atlantis prospers and distant lands hide in secret corners of the earth, the fate of the future depends upon a bereaved boy named Albion Seraph, who ventures to bring his deceased mother, Atherielle, back from the afterlife.

 

In his search for Gravitis, a forbidden realm that harbors the power to resurrect the dead, Albion allies himself with Blackburn and the Pyrates of Blood Bay, only to awaken Delphina, Duchess of De Spair, an ancient vampiress who curses them, turning them into Vampyrates—half-vampires, half-pirates—the first of their kind to sail the Nine Seas.

 

To lift the curse, revive Atherielle, and save Atlantis, Albion and the Vampyrates require four mysterious keys—the very keys Delphina needs to destroy Atlantis and reign supreme over a world consumed by the Darkness.
