This title comes with an introduction by John Mullen. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in particular. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates. "e;Quite simply, a marvel"e;. (Frank Kermode, New York Review of Books). "e;Superb…The book should become a classic"e;. (Sunday Telegraph). "e;An engrossing story"e;. (New York Times Book Review).

A New York Public Library 2017 Best Books for Teens selected title! It's the start of Jordan Sun's junior year at the Kensington-Blaine Boarding School for the Performing Arts. Unfortunately, she's an Alto 2, which—in the musical theatre world—is sort of like being a vulture in the wild: She has a spot in the ecosystem, but nobody's falling over themselves to express their appreciation. So it's no surprise when she gets shut out of the fall musical for the third year straight. But then the school gets a mass email: A spot has opened up in the Sharpshooters, Kensington's elite a cappella octet. Worshiped … revered … all male. Desperate to prove herself, Jordan auditions in her most convincing drag, and it turns out that Jordan Sun, Tenor 1, is exactly what the Sharps are looking for.
订婚 （龙人日志 #第六弹）
在《订婚》一书中（龙人期日志＃6），凯特琳和迦勒发现，自己再次回到从前，这一次，是在1599年的伦敦。1599年的伦敦是一个蛮荒之地，充满了矛盾和悖论：虽然，一方面它是一个令人难以置信的、开明的、先进的时代，培养了像莎士比亚一样的剧作家，另一方面，它也十分野蛮和残酷，每天公开处决囚犯，还有各种酷刑，甚至将囚犯的头和挂在长钉上。这个时代也非常迷信，十分危险，缺乏卫生设施，而老鼠携带的腺鼠疫在街头蔓延。在这种环境下，凯特琳和迦勒着陆寻找她的父亲，寻找第三把钥匙，寻找可以拯救人类的神秘的盾。他们的任务带领着他们来到伦敦最令人惊叹的中世纪风格的建筑里，来到英国乡村最壮丽的城堡。他们接着回到了伦敦的心脏地带，亲眼见到了莎士比亚本人，看了他的现场戏剧。他们找到了一个小女孩，斯嘉丽，她有可能是他们女儿。与此同时，凯特琳对迦勒的爱加深了，最终他们走在一起——迦勒终于找到了完美的时间和地点，向她求婚。山姆和波利也跟着穿越过来，但他们发现自己被困在自己的征程中，他们的关系加深，他们无法控制对彼此的感情越来越深。但这一切并不顺利。凯尔也跟着回来了，还有他的邪恶搭档，谢尔盖，他们都有意摧毁凯特琳生活中一切美好的事物。这将是一场比赛，凯特琳被迫做出她生命中最困难的决定，为了救她生命中所有爱的人，挽救与迦勒的关系——而且尽量做到全身而退。《订婚》是龙人日志第六弹（之前是被爱，背叛，命中注定和欲望），但它也可作为一个独立的小说。《订婚》一书接近7万字。
