In Earned, NHL legend Chris Pronger reveals the hard truth behind greatness--that talent opens doors, but only relentless standards, ownership, and grit keep them open.

Success isn't owed--it's earned.

In the high-stakes world of professional hockey, talent alone doesn't cut it. Chris Pronger--one of the NHL's most dominant and controversial defensemen--learned that the hard way. In Earned: The True Cost of Greatness from One of Hockey's Fiercest Competitors, he reveals the raw truth behind an eighteen-year career defined by triumph, adversity, and transformation.

From being booed by his own fans in Hartford and St. Louis as a twenty-year-old phenom to hoisting the Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007, Pronger's journey was anything but smooth. A Hockey Hall of Famer, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and Hart Trophy winner, he shares what the stats don't show: the relentless standards and hard lessons that forged his success.

At the heart of Earned is a simple question--"What are your standards?"--that fueled Pronger's evolution from underachiever to champion. Through gripping stories of betting on himself, surviving brutal trades, enduring career-ending injuries, and reinventing himself as an entrepreneur, Pronger distills a powerful formula: Standards + Adversity + Ownership = Success.

This isn't just a hockey memoir--it's a playbook for excellence in any arena. Pronger opens up about rebuilding his family life, quitting drinking, and living by his Difference Maker's Code. Packed with insider stories, motivational insights, and practical tools like the 30-Day Standards Challenge, Earned will push you to raise your game.

As Pronger says, "Talent opens doors. Standards keep them open."

From New York Times bestselling author Mackenzi Lee comes a thrilling tale set in the world of the Masters of the Universe live-action film, where Eternian warrior Teela must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to save the people--and home--she loves.

A FALLEN KINGDOM
Four years after Skeletor decimated the kingdom of Eternos, Teela and the scattered refugees of Eternia survive by never staying in one place for long. When a brutal storm of acidic rain deep within the Evergreen Forest leaves their camp ravaged and hope at its thinnest, some, like Teela's friend Locke, begin to plan for a future beyond Eternia. But Teela knows her father Duncan, the once-mighty Man-At-Arms, won't survive leaving the land he swore to protect.

A FORBIDDEN ALLIANCE
Desperate to save her people, Teela ventures to Darksmoke to bargain with the ancient dragon Granamyr. He bestows upon her a vial filled with a mysterious, powerful elixir--and no instructions on its use. Enter Evil-Lyn, Skeletor's ruthless second-in-command, who intercepts Teela with a dangerous proposal: an alliance. In exchange for the vial's secrets, Teela and the Heroic Warriors must someday help the sorceress overthrow Skeletor himself.

A MAGIC THAT COULD SAVE--OR DESTROY--THEM ALL
The vial heals the sick and brings food back to empty tables--until the forest around the camp begins to change. Rivers vanish. Trees peel to bone. Creatures flee. As the land around them withers at an ever-increasing pace, Teela must confront an impossible question: Has the very magic she used to save her people doomed Eternia instead?

Alita, a whiz at helping AI extract marketable trends from human sex behavior datasets, tries her hand at love.

A featured Ingram's Indie Early Buzz for March releases and Publishers Weekly BookLife Indie Spotlight for February Romance. 2026 Kirkus Prize Nominee. Library Staff Pick.

"Pitsirilos has crafted a compelling exploration of what it means to be human, weaving together themes of artificial intelligence, environmental degradation, mother-son relationships, and the difficulty of modern love. [...]A scintillating modern love story that will leave a lasting impression."

- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A radical, sex-positive exploration of the necessity for love with sex."

- Ivelisse Rodriguez, author of Love War Stories

"A bold and seductive work of art."

- Laura Pegram, Editor in Chief of Kweli

"[...] To Love Like Venus is crafted with a sense of mythical realism. Data analysis and musings on reproductive biology are described with the same reverence as celestial bodies and fanciful beings, confronting a messy reality of love in an era of precision."

-The BookLife Prize

Alita Melusine is the embodiment of desire. Her appetite for pleasure drives much of her twenties and is deliciously displayed in her roller-disco dancing, a niche retro craze in Manhattan's 2050s-itself a scene of gentrified cyberpunk. That her heart remains untouched by Eros's arrow is one of the many attributes Jean loves about her. Yet her aged Casanova-like mentor is also the first to point out Alita's greatest flaw: Though Alita is a whiz at making sense of datasets detailing the sexual habits of the city at her job assisting artificial intelligence, she's less certain of her own personal life. Despite what Jean tells her, she's always believed that somewhere in relationships there is room for love. Now she's ready to try this theory out, despite Jean's objections-no matter what the cost. So when she pairs with the winsome Kaveh, she finds herself on uncharted roads-and facing the rabid objections of Kaveh's mother, Claire, who disapproves of Alita and her shameless flaunting of selfhood in the roller-disco rink. When the latest superstorm hits the city, Alita's world begins to unravel. Jean's imprint on her life is more than she realized-as is, unfortunately, Claire's. On an island where life is lived in a rave of niche fantasy, in the midst of a surrender to environmental collapse, Alita must put together the pieces of her mosaic to confront the woman she really is-and learn what it means to love like the storms of Venus.

To Love Like Venus is a literary glimpse into a near future of tech-fueled human sexuality, environmental decay, and soft cyberpunk.

After delighting readers and reviewers with Event Horizon: Stories of No Turning Back, 2022 Chautauqua Janus Prize winner Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos returns, this time with a debut novel following some of its characters. This book requires a trip to Venus, which means immense heat, crushing pressure, and the risk of getting burned. Did we mention this is the planet of love?
