Blind the Eyes

Enter the City of Nightmares

By: K.A. Wiggins

Unquestioning obedience is fair trade for survival in the City of Nightmares. Especially when this haunted outcast has been faking it all along... A prickly girl, an arrogant boy & a vengeful ghost weave a dance of death in this multi-awarded first-in-series Dystopian-Gothic Fantasy for fans of V.E. Schwab, Laini Taylor, Holly Black, Kendare Blake & Cassandra Clare. Cole is one trial from finally earning a future. One where she’ll get to live, even if it is in silent, isolated drudgery. The price of protection from the soul-sucking monsters overrunning her city is absolute, unfailing compliance with Tower regulation. But keeping her mouth shut is one thing. Controlling her thoughts—not to mention the ghost who haunts them? Not so easy. She can’t afford to screw up again. But when the cracks in her "good girl" act widen, neither Nightmares nor Tower authorities descend. Instead, a cocky stranger slips in with a dangerously tempting offer. The young rebel's forbidden whispers of a glittering underworld beneath the drowned streets are going to get someone killed. Someone else—because regulation is there to keep the monsters at bay. And she's not about to sacrifice herself on the altar of his arrogance. But all her careful plans go up in smoke when she stumbles over the devastating conspiracy smouldering at the heart of her homeland. Turns out her future isn’t the only one on the verge of crumbling to ash. And the only way to survive might just be plunging headfirst into the flames... The Nightmares are rising. Will one girl's forbidden dreams—and long-buried magic—be enough to stop the coming massacre? This lush, genre-bending YA Fantasy of a darkly gothic dystopia overrun by eldritch horrors is recommended for readers 14+. Love science fantasy with an ecopunk edge, eerie dark fantasy, and slow-burn gothic fantasy horror for teens and up like Anna Dressed in Blood, This Savage Song, Shadowhunters, and Strange the Dreamer?

Threads of Dreams

the Complete Trilogy Collection

By: K.A. Wiggins

Don't think. Don't speak. And definitely don't dream. The Nightmares will find you. BLIND THE EYES In a drowned city on the edge of the sea lives a girl in a tower. Cole is nobody. One more haunted drone among the grey, spiritless masses. Until her dreary future is stolen—and a quest to take revenge uncovers ghosts, betrayal, and her bloody past. She's about to become their worst nightmare. BLACK THE TIDES Something deadly lurks beneath the waves. Battered but defiant, Cole can't wait to get back into the fight. But when her newly reclaimed thread-witchery fails her mid-battle, the only path forward leads through the monster-infested wilds. Can she reclaim her forgotten dreamweavers' birthright from the mountains before they claim her? She never even saw it coming. BURN THE SKIES In the City of Nightmares, death is far from the end. Shattered, powerless, and more alone than ever, Cole fights on. Failure means more than her own destruction. If the city falls, its eldritch horrors will sweep across the land. But will her last-ditch grasp at the power to stop them go up in flames? The dreamscape takes no prisoners. Neither does she. One-click to binge the multi-award-winning trilogy today!

Black the Tides

Escape the City of Nightmares

By: K.A. Wiggins

What happens when you release the hero within—and she's a stranger? "I'm stuck in a loop, trying not to look at the ghost of a girl with golden curls and hazel eyes..." When a series of eerily haunting dreams drives Cole back into battle too soon, the power she's only just learned to wield fails to show up for the fight. Dreamwalker and childhood friend Ash claims a trip to her long-forgotten homeland in the mountains will help her reclaim her missing magic and hard-won sense of purpose. But the last thing she wants to do is waste days trekking through the monster-infested wilderness with nothing but a snarky ghost and a boy who's made it his life's mission to save a dead girl. "The last guy who wanted me to trust him tried to sacrifice me to the Mara . . ." Cole's hesitation doesn't stop Ash from spiriting her across sea-monster-ridden waters to the terrifyingly twisted lands beyond, leaving her broken yet beloved city without protection. If she can't reclaim her past and restore her connection to the dreamscape before it's too late, her newfound friends won't be the only ones to pay the price. But more than just monsters stand in her way—and this time, taking back the power to stop them might just break her. Black the Tides is the second book in a lush and labyrinthine trilogy of paranormal-meets-gothic-dystopian YA fantasy filled with monster-infested mountains, haunted forests, and unexpected twists for those who like a little sparkle with their monsters (it glistens so nicely on all the blood.) Fans of cinematic solarpunk utopian planning, dark Northern Gothic forests, and monster-hunting road trips will love this genre-bending dark fantasy with a devastating cliffhanger twist. Buy Black the Tides for a shocking voyage into dark seas today!

Killing Shore

The True Story of Hitler’s U-boats Off the New Jersey Coast

By: K. A. Nelson

The shocking story of Nazi Germany’s naval assault in American waters, told through the eyes of seafarers who experienced it off the Jersey Shore. It is January 1942. Six weeks after the United States entered World War II, Imperial Japan is annihilating American forces across the Far East while the Nazis stand triumphant over much of Europe. Adolf Hitler’s forces are about to commence an assault along the East Coast of the United States, but this “Atlantic Pearl Harbor” would prove far more devastating than Japan’s attack on Hawaii. The wolves are closing in, and few Americans realize their beaches and coastal cities are about to witness the worst naval defeat in American history. The Western Hemisphere holds the key to victory for the beleaguered Allies, but only if the vast economic and military resources of North and South America can be carried across the Atlantic by Allied merchant ships. These civilian-manned cargo vessels are the backbone of the American war economy and the lifeline enabling Britain and the Soviet Union to survive—but Hitler’s favorite admiral also knows this, and he has set in motion a plan of unprecedented boldness. Germany’s dreaded submarines, or “U-boats,” are going to the United States. The fiery months that followed would pit American servicemen against German U-boat sailors in a desperate struggle that stained East Coast waters with oil and blood. In the crosshairs of this deadly cat-and-mouse game was a stalwart contingent of civilian mariners who crewed the tankers and freighters supplying the war against the Axis Powers. Thousands of them would perish as hundreds of merchant ships were sunk. Every American coastal state became a battlefront in 1942, and the events that transpired off New Jersey illustrate the perils and brutality of this forgotten campaign. The seafloor along the Garden State is today strewn with shipwrecks that bear witness to the innumerable ways to die faced by friend and foe alike only miles from the boardwalk. Though these seafarers’ lives were forfeit, the battle they fought would decide the fates of millions.

But sacrificing the life of a child is too great a price to pay, even to save her friends and her city. As her pool of allies shrinks and resistance mounts, Cole fights to hold back the monsters at the cost of her own rapidly draining life force. Can she bring herself to destroy her bodysnatching young frenemy for good before everyone she loves goes up in flames? In this explosive conclusion to the award-winning, dystopian-gothic paranormal YA Dark Fantasy Threads of Dreams trilogy, the spark of revolution is lit—and even a drowned city can burn.

Assessment for Experiential Learning

Assessment for Experiential Learning

By: Cecilia Ka Yuk Chan

Chan’s book explores the challenges in assessing experiential learning, deepens our understanding, and inspires readers to think critically about the purpose of assessment in experiential learning. Experiential learning has been studied and proven to be effective for student learning, particularly for the development of holistic competencies (i.e. 21st century skills, soft skills, transferable skills) considered essential for individuals to succeed in the increasingly global and technology-infused 21st century society. Universities around the world are now actively organising experiential learning activities or programmes for students to gain enriching and diversified learning experiences, however the assessment of these programmes tends to be limited, unclear, and contested. Assessment plays a central role in education policies and students’ approach to learning. But do educators know how to assess less traditional learning such as service learning, entrepreneurship, cross-discipline or cross-cultural projects, internships and student exchanges? While the current assessment landscape is replete with assessments that measure knowledge of core content areas such as mathematics, law, languages, science and social studies, there is a lack of assessments and research that focus on holistic competencies. How do we assess students’ ability to think critically, problem solve, adapt, self-manage and collaborate? Central to the discussion in this book, is the reason students are assessed and how they should be assessed to bring out their best learning outcomes. Offering a collection of best assessment practice employed by teachers around the world, this volume brings together both theoretical and empirical research that underpins assessment; and perceptions of different stakeholders – understanding of assessment in experiential learning from students, teachers, and policymakers. The idea of assessment literacy also plays an important role in experiential learning, for example, reflection is often used in assessing students in experiential learning but how reflection literate are educators, are they aware of the ethical dilemmas that arise in assessing students? These questions are discussed in detail. The volume also introduces a quality assurance programme to recognise student development within experiential learning programmes. The book will be particularly informative to academic developers, teachers, students and community partners who struggle with the development and assessment for experiential learning, those who plan to apply for funding in experiential learning, and policymakers and senior managements seeking evidence and advice on fine-tuning curricular, assessment designs and quality assurance.

AI Literacy in K-16 Classrooms

By: Davy Tsz Kit Ng,Jac Ka Lok Leung,Maggie Jiahong Su,Iris Heung Yue Yim,Maggie Shen Qiao,Samuel Kai Wah Chu

Artificial Intelligence is at the top of the agenda for education leaders, scientists, technologists and policy makers in educating the next generation across the globe. Beyond applying AI in daily life applications and educational tools, understanding how to learn and teach AI is increasingly important. Despite these emerging technology breakthroughs, AI learning is still new to educators especially to K-16 teachers. There is a lack of evidence-based studies that inform them about AI learning, including design principles for building a set of curriculum content, and pedagogical approaches as well as technological tools. Teaching AI concepts and techniques from programming languages and developmentally appropriate learning tools (e.g., robotics, serious games, software, intelligent agents) across different education levels emerged in recent years. The primary purpose of this book is to respond to the need to conceptualize the emerging term “AI literacy” and investigate how to teach and learn AI in K-16 education settings. This book examines different aspects of learning artefacts, pedagogies, content knowledge and assessment methods of AI literacy education, from theoretical discussions to practical recommendations for curriculum and instructional design. An exhaustive summary of current evidence with examples is illustrated in this book, as well as cutting-edge research that serves as an AI literacy model for different countries’ contexts. Part I, “Conceptualizing AI literacy”, provides a detailed discussion on the development of the concepts and frameworks on AI literacy education, discusses the differences and similarities between AI in education (AIED) and AI literacy education, and illustrates the reasons why K-16 students need to learn AI. These concepts are brought together in Part II, “K-16 AI literacy education” to further summarize the pedagogies, learning content, learning tools and assessment methods to inform K-16 educators how to design their AI instruction at each education level. After that, part III “AI literacy for instructional designers” explores how instructional designers (i.e., AI developers and teachers) prepare themselves to become ready to design developmentally appropriate tools, platforms, services and curricula to empower students with AI literacy skills.

The Unsought Light

A Japanese Fairytale Retelling with a Gothic Twist

By: K.A. Wiggins

Daughters don't get to choose their fates. But there's one choice no one can deny her. Hana dreams of floating away on the breeze like the cherry blossoms. But when an otherworldly stranger offers a chance at escape from the stifling bonds of impending arranged marriage, duty and desire collide in a war that threatens to bring down her family, her clan, and her village. Freedom. Passion. Family. Fate. What do you do when there are no good choices left? A Gothic NA Fantasy retelling of the ancient Japanese folktale The Maiden of Unai, this short story explores the untold perspective of a young woman destined for an arranged political marriage in a time and place where family fortunes mattered more than individual happiness or choice. Historical tragic romance in the vein of Rome & Juliet with a supernatural twist and a lightly poetic seasonal framing device, this folktale is part of the Shinjū/"lover's suicide"/suicide pact genre in Japanese literature, and includes reader advisories on depictions of misogyny, parental abuse (emotional/non-physical), suicidal ideation, kidnapping, arson, murder, suicide, drowning.

Boy With No Name

Abandon the City of Nightmares

By: K.A. Wiggins

When you’re nothing, you have to grab everything you can and hang onto it with everything you’ve got. When the dreamwealking threadwitch Ravel's been obsessed with since boyhood vanishes, the shadow prince of Refuge's dissolute underground risks all the power he's begged, borrowed, and stolen to chase her down. But, on that desperate road trip through the monster-infested wilderness, he's forced to peel back his own mask and grapple with the dark truths behind all the glitter. Will he find the right thread to pull and win back his love, or will the conscience this puppetmaster has been running from all his life finally cut his strings? Tragic pasts and twisted futures collide in Boy With No Name, a novelette-length dystopian romantic tragedy (lovers-to-enemies-to-...? / antihero romance) for upper YA to NA/Adult audiences.
