Under My Skin: Wildlings Book 1
Penguin Canada, 2012
For the past six months, something has been happening to young people in Santa Feliz. Week
after week, there's news of another teen changing shape, transforming from human to wild animal
and back again. The federal government has stepped in, running public service announcements
calling for affected youth to turn themselves in for "orientation and training."
Josh Saunders has seen the news reports, but he is still unprepared when it happens to him. One
minute he's arguing with his mother's boyfriend and the next, he is looming over the man, blood
dripping from his claws—he has transformed into a mountain lion.

Eyes Like Leaves
Tachyon, 2012
In the Green Isles, the summer magic is waning. Snake ships pillage the coastal towns and
the evil Icelord encases the verdant lands in a permanent frost. A mysterious old wizard
prepares to mount one last defense of the Isles, hurrying to instruct his inexperienced
apprentice in the art of shape-changing. In a desperate race to awaken the Summerlord,
the newfound mage gathers a few remaining allies, including a seemingly-ordinary young
woman and her protective adoptive family. Mercilessly pursued by the Icelord's army of
stormkin, they flee north to the seat of the Summerlord's power.

Promises to Keep
Tachyon, 2011
Jilly Coppercorn, one of de Lint's beloved characters, is faced with a life-changing choice. With the help of a mentor and an anonymous benefactor, Jilly has overcome abuse, addiction, and even a stint in juvie. Though she still struggles to stay clean and make ends meet, Jilly feels safe and loved by her newly-formed family, including her loyal best friend Geordie, the lovely artist Sophie Etoile, and her caseworker, the angel of Grasso Street.
Then Jilly is given a tempting opportunity riding in from the past on an oversized motorcycle. Her best friend Donna from the bad old days, now transformed into a tattooed bass-player in a rockabilly band, takes Jilly into a beautiful, mysterious city. It is a place full of wonderful opportunities and delights that at first seems perfect.

The Painted Boy
Viking, November 2010
James Li should be in Chicago, finishing high school and working at his family's restaurant.
Instead, as a born member of the Yellow Dragon Clan, he is on a quest even he does not understand.
Jay's journey takes him to Santo del Vado Viejo in the Arizona desert, a town overrun by gangs,
haunted by members of other animal clans, perfumed by delicious food, all of it moving to the beat
of Malo Malo, a barrio rock band whose female lead guitarist captures Jay's heart. Here he must
face a series of dangerous, otherworldly—and very human—challenges not just to survive, but
to prove his worth to the clan.
