Welcome to the universe of Galactic Dreams, where fairy tales are reimagined for a new age—the future.

In The Beast of Arsu, by Bethany Maines, when Bella Glass is thrown 140 years into the future she finds a world she doesn’t recognize and love in Kai Craig, a man fighting against the effects of a bomb that turns him into a rage-filled beast. But someone else has traveled into the past and Bella must choose between preventing a devastating alteration of the timeline and a love she was never meant to have.

The timeline continues to unravel in A Trail of Stardust from J.M. Phillippe. When the Hexx siblings, Rax and Lex, are attacked by their malevolent step-mother, they flee into space hoping to leave behind a family legacy of hatred. But a damaged spacecraft throws them from the frying pan into the oven. Captured by pirates, Lex and Rax are facing certain death and the only way out is to rely on each other, but what will be waiting for them at home?

And in Break the Sky from Karen Harris Tully, the final chapter concludes with Jakarta “Jak” Moon. When Jak climbs up the giant elevator that leads to the low-orbiting space station above her irradiated planet, she has one goal—don’t die. But when she returns to the ground, she finds herself targeted by the winged-dictator known as the Godmother. Now Jak must climb through the clouds and bring back the treasures the Godmother demands or she and her planet face destruction.

Bella, Rax, Lex, and Jak tread the familiar paths of Beauty & the Beast, Hansel & Gretel, and Jack & the Beanstalk, but this time they journey among the stars and their stories are all their own.
