Chase death.

Something … Other.
Something with the knowledge to change it all.

About the book
Her death magic prevents anyone from getting close to her. Until she meets him.

About the book
He might be a wolf in disguise.
Ever since the world fell apart a year ago, I've been doing whatever I can to survive, serving food at a trading post in the flooded hills of central Virginia and sometimes taking men to my room upstairs.
They have to pay, of course.
Cade stops by every few weeks. He's gruff and quiet and not looking for friends, but he always treats me okay. I don't mind having him as a customer. I actually start to like him, which is the last thing I expect in the hellish place the world has become. But Cade isn't the harmless loner he's been pretending to be, and his secrets could drag me into danger.
I thought he was just a regular guy, but all this time he's been hiding a wolf.

About the book
Stolen from Earth, Fated to be His Ruin.
Taken from Earth and thrust into a ruthless bridal competition in a fae realm, I’m forced to fight for a crown I don’t want in order to survive.
Vad, the dark, sexy, powerful heir of the Shadow Fae Kingdom, is doing the one thing he never wanted—searching for a bride.
But I don't fit in here, and the top contestants want me dead as soon as I arrive.
Bound by Fated magic and trapped in a deadly game, Vad’s every cold glance and harsh words remind me that he doesn’t want me, and I sure as hell don’t want him.
Yet there’s no denying the sparks between us, and the way his touch ignites something in me I can’t control.
As the contest grows more dangerous, all I can focus on is survival which becomes harder and seems to be slipping through my grasp.
But I won't go out without a fight... even if it kills me sooner.

About the book
Fae games will change you...but their love will ruin you.
At least, that's what my mother told me. My mother had three rules:
1. Never make a bargain with a fairy.
2. Never enter the Waywoods on a hunting day.
3. Never give the High Fae princes a reason to notice you.
But even when I followed all the rules, the royal fae still took my family from me.
So in one night I broke all three rules, and brought the kingdom to their knees.
Wilde Fae is a deliciously slow burn, steamy fantasy romance, ideal for grown-up readers of the Cruel Prince and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Wilde Fae is a series where the female main character will not have to choose one love interest. Please read the author's note on page one.

About the book
The instant #1 New York Times bestseller!
Shadow and Bone meets The Selection in this first book in Kiera Azar's sharp, sexy, and twisty debut YA romantasy trilogy!
“Dark, sexy, and completely addictive, romantasy lovers will devour Azar’s Thorn Season. With epic betrayals, shocking twists, and delicious tension, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. An absolute thrill of a novel.”—Rachel Griffin, New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches
In the Kingdom of Daradon, a persecuted few are Wielders, in possession of a magical Spectre–a shimmering thread that can extend beyond their visible body to give a loving caress, pick a lock . . . even kill. Feared for this ability, Wielders have always been Hunted.
Alissa Paine, heiress and daughter of a Hunter family . . . is also a Wielder. At eighteen, Alissa knows she’s escaped execution thus far only due to painful self-control and the efforts of her beloved father.
Summoned to the harsh and glittering royal court for the debutante season, Alissa finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and betrayal—and caught between two equally dangerous men: one a brutal ruler with the handsome face of a fairy-tale prince, who would destroy her if he knew the truth—and the other a beguiling foreign ambassador with secret agendas of his own.
With the threat of discovery lurking around every corner—and romance becoming an increasingly dangerous temptation—Alissa will find that she has more to lose than her secrets. It’s Rose Season at the palace, but to survive she’ll need to become the most vicious of thorns. . .

About the book
This tale of four fey sisters is "a golden slice of British rural fantasy in the tradition of Diana Wynne Jones and Tanith Lee. . . . I loved it" (Paul Cornell, New York Times–bestselling author of Witches of Lychford).
Levelheaded Bee still lives at Mooncote, the family home in Somerset, where she has an unconventional boyfriend of whom her sisters are unaware. Stella, a DJ who's just done some gigs in Ibiza, has vowed never to return to Mooncote after a row with Bee. Single mother and fashion designer Serena lives in Notting Hill with growing doubts about her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, a rock musician. And Luna, the youngest, is a wanderer living out of a horse-drawn van while she follows a trail of horse fairs across the country.
The four Fallow sisters are scattered like the four winds. But now, with the comet due, they're drawn back together, united in their desire to find their mother, free-spirited Alys, who disappeared a year ago. They have help, of course, from the star spirits and the no-longer-living, but such advice tends to be cryptic and is hardly the most dependable of guides . . .
"In Comet Weather, Liz Williams has crafted something marvellous. This is a book full of wonder, horror, love, heartbreak, strangeness, and a gorgeously evoked sense of time and place. Between one page and the next you'll be laughing out loud, then shivering to your bones." —Alastair Reynolds, award-winning author of Eversion and Revelation Space
"This quick-witted and intriguing contemporary fantasy is fresh and original, while also harking back to the mythology of the English landscape and the classic literature that has inspired. A many-faceted delight." —Juliet E. McKenna, author of the Green Man series
"A perfect pleasure to read. Think [Neil] Gaiman: imagination enriched with history, culture, geography, astronomy and archaeology, and a dash of romance." —Aurealis
"One of the most affecting and accomplished fantasy novels of the year so far." —Locus
"Mesmerizing." —SciFi Mind

A Legacy of Stars

Our take
A heart bond meant to save Stella McKay’s fairy-tale romance instead ties her to the last man she would ever choose. In A Legacy of Stars, she enters a deadly magical tournament to win a divine favor and break the bond, only to face rebel assassins, brutal trials, and a reluctant ally whose connection threatens everything she thought she wanted.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The war is over but the godly games continue.
Stella McKay has only ever wanted one thing: an epic romance like her parents have. She was raised on fairy tales and thinks she’s finally found her own legendary love with Prince Arden.
But when her prince is unexpectedly betrothed to someone else, Stella and Arden must seek out the goddess of love in the desperate hope she’ll grant them a coveted heart bond. Instead, the mischievous deity links Stella to the last person she’d ever want an intimate emotional connection with: Teddy Savero.
The only way to break the bond and reclaim her true love is to win the Gauntlet Games and secure a favor from the gods. The brutal tournament will test Stella in feats of wisdom, memory, and magic. But the greater threat to her happily ever after comes when Teddy enters as a contender.
With rebel assassins lurking, her opponents out for blood, and her new heart bond proving to be a perilous liability, Stella must outwit both gods and men before her competitors claim the winning favor—or her life.
A LEGACY OF STARS is a standalone next generation spinoff from The Lost God Series and can be read alone or as a follow up to the series. This spicy romance-forward romantasy features a deadly magical tournament, a rising political rebellion, complex sibling relationships, wound-tending, extremely reluctant allies to lovers, and a heart bond gone wrong. LEGACY is perfect for readers who enjoyed the next generation romance of LJ Andrew's EVER SEAS SERIES and the brutal warrior tournament of Jasmine Mas' BLOOD OF HERCULES.

In White Horse Black Nights, Sabine Darrow carries forbidden magic, a feared future husband, and a dangerous attraction to Basten “Wolf” Bowborn, whose duty is cracking under obsession. This is dark fantasy romance with forced proximity, corrupted courts, reawakening creatures, and a forbidden bond.
Choose your retailer
About the book
We still worship the sleeping fae, though their magic only remains within a few of us.
Locked away for twelve years, Sabine Darrow’s only friends are animals she communicates with using magic. Now, sold as a bride to a villainous high lord, her greatest fear is trading one prison for another. But a potential escape lies in the form of her gruff yet achingly handsome guard, whose loyalty she is determined to break.
A huntsman with heightened senses, Basten “Wolf” Bowborn has more important things to do than transport his master’s new bride. With ancient creatures reawakening along the kingdom's border wall, he is torn between his duty and his desire to investigate—until a forbidden attraction becomes an unyielding obsession.
Welcome to Astagnon—a kingdom of cruel games and corrupted courts, where the only thing more dangerous than the secrets slumbering underground is falling for the one person you can’t have.
Drawing inspiration from Snow White and the Lady Godiva legend, WHITE HORSE BLACK NIGHTS is a dark enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance that will take you on a journey you’ll never forget. This captivating story of a girl with a special gift is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout!
