Did You Attend the Nebula Awards Conference 2025?


You Might Have Received a Copy of the Award-Winning YA Sci-Fi Fantasy: The Pandora’s Box

If you were part of the 2025 Nebula Awards Conference, either attending in Kansas City or participating virtually through the SFWA’s interactive digital experience, there’s something magical waiting in your Nebula Book Bag:
📚 The Pandora’s Box — Book One of the Conjurer’s Prophecy Trilogy by award-winning author L.S. Franco.

As proud members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), we donated 100 physical copies of The Pandora’s Box to the Nebula Book Bag in celebration of speculative fiction, visionary storytelling, and our shared love of books that blend imagination with emotional depth. In addition, we offered unlimited digital access to The Pandora’s Box for all attendees via the Nebula Virtual Book Bag—no download limits, no DRM.

This year’s Nebula Conference was a beacon for fans, authors, publishers, and creators of science fiction and fantasy literature, and we’re thrilled to contribute a novel that merges both genres in a unique, fast-paced, and character-driven epic.



About the Book

The Pandora’s Box is a thrilling YA science fiction and fantasy novel filled with magical world-building, time manipulation, multidimensional politics, and emotional stakes. It follows the journey of Liam Hale, a socially awkward teenage boy who—on his 14th birthday—receives an encrypted message from his recently deceased mother and learns he is a demigod destined to become the next Keeper of the Seven Wonders.

This revelation launches him into a hidden magical world, where he must awaken his powers, uncover the mission that killed his mother, and retrieve the legendary Pandora’s Box to restore balance between good and evil. But that’s only the beginning.

Book Two – The Oberon Stone
In The Oberon Stone, Liam and his best friend Ada shatter an ancient prophecy by turning back time—accidentally collapsing the fragile veil between the Houses of the Living and the Dead. Their only hope is to retrieve a mythic relic said to separate both realms once again. But when Liam’s magical mentor, Andrew McCormick, is kidnapped by the dark sorcerer Montgomery Winifred, the stakes rise.

Book Three – The Temporal Scythe launches TOMORROW!
That’s right. The Temporal Scythe, the epic final book of this trilogy, is coming out June 10, 2025. In this explosive finale, Liam must retrieve a tool capable of restoring the shattered prophecy: the Temporal Scythe, guarded by the Olympian god of time, Chronos, deep in Tartarus, the Underworld’s darkest pit. He’ll face gods, monsters, and the Devil himself—fighting not just for humanity, but for the people he loves.

  The Temporal Scythe,  by LS Franco: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewed by Sally H. (ARC Edition) LS Franco’s  The Temporal Scythe  is a masterfully constructed crescendo of myth, memory, and multiversal consequence—a rare kind of finale that doesn’t just end a story, but  elevates everything that came before it . With piercing insight and luminous prose, Franco delivers the final installment in the  Conjurer’s Prophecy Trilogy  with the weight of prophecy and the intimacy of a whispered goodbye. At its core,  The Temporal Scythe  is about  transcendence —not only across timelines and dimensions, but across the emotional architectures of the human heart. We follow Liam Hale, a boy no longer unsure of who he is, but now standing at the convergence of love, sacrifice, and cosmic purpose. His journey is not linear. It spirals—through pain, vision, faith, and loss. Franco’s writing is a  miracle of juxtaposition : vast in scope, yet delicate in execution....

 🪐  Book Review: The Temporal Scythe  by LS Franco. Less than two months for The Temporal Scythe to be available! Check out some amazing reviews the book is receiving from the ARC Readers: Reviewed by John P (ARC Reader) In  The Temporal Scythe , LS Franco closes out the Conjurer’s Prophecy Trilogy not with a whimper, but with a metaphysical roar. The final chapter of Liam Hale’s journey is a collision of worlds—literally and figuratively. As timelines unravel and identities fracture, Franco invites readers to ask the biggest questions of all: Who are we when time runs out? What are we without love? Set against a backdrop of collapsing dimensions, soul trials, and magical warfare, this book pulls no punches. The stakes are cosmic, but never distant. Liam’s emotional core—his longing, his guilt, his growth—is the beating heart of this sprawling finale. The cast, too, shines in their final arcs: Ada finds her own strength beyond regret, Zoe steps into her own prophecy...
