The Emperor of San Francisco (Wick Chronicles)

Paciﬁca 2415 As told by Wick, Royal Cat, House of Blackshear  On a plaza at the edge of downtown San Francisco, Finn—arriving with a broken down, burned out egg-shaped ship—steps out of a time portal and is found by teen royals Oz and Drew. With no memory of who or from which When he is, Finn becomes a puzzle that time-traveler Oz wants to solve, with the help of Drew, a cat named Wick, and the extremely touch-phobic Emperor.  As they come closer to the answers Finn needs, Oz realizes that the question isn’t who Finn might be and When he’s from, but it’s about who the Emperor is—he saved her father’s life when he was a boy, but no one knows where he came from, or why he refuses to touch or be touched.  Oz has described him as an icon of the city and protector of all, but now she wonders: where did he come from, and who is the Emperor, really?

The Blessings of Saint Wick (Wick After Dark)

Hyrum Munson spent two years walking across Florida and Midlam for one reason: to deliver a message to his sister, the Queen of Pacifica: Daddy wants to kill Red and the Prince. He has no way of knowing that the war has been over nearly as long as he's been walking, or that Levi is long dead; he certainly has no way of knowing that his oldest brother is losing control over Florida's governing Quorum and nuclear war is looming. Hyrum, an eight-year-old boy stuffed into the body of a 43-year-old man, only wants two things: to be good, and to remain in Pacifica. As Pacifica balances on the brink of nuclear war, Hyrum is stuck in the middle. If he goes home, he makes his mother happy and lives eternally as a little boy grown old, feared by his family. If he stays, he distances himself from the shadow of a life of abuse and has a chance at happiness. Wick watches it unfolding, the people he loves forming a tight circle around Hyrum, the joy and wonder of his personality, and wants to know why his own family so afraid of him. The answer, he comes to see, is electrifying.
