About the book
New York Times-bestselling Tad Williams’ ground-breaking epic fantasy saga of Osten Ard begins an exciting new cycle! • Volume One of The Last King of Osten Ard
The Dragonbone Chair, the first volume of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, was published in hardcover in October, 1988, launching the series that was to become one of the seminal works of modern epic fantasy. Many of today’s top-selling fantasy authors, from Patrick Rothfuss to George R. R. Martin to Christopher Paolini credit Tad with being the inspiration for their own series.
Now, twenty-four years after the conclusion of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, Tad returns to his beloved universe and characters with The Witchwood Crown, the first novel in the long-awaited sequel trilogy, The Last King of Osten Ard.
More than thirty years have passed since the events of the earlier novels, and the world has reached a critical turning point once again. The realm is threatened by divisive forces, even as old allies are lost, and others are lured down darker paths. Perhaps most terrifying of all, the Norns—the long-vanquished elvish foe—are stirring once again, preparing to reclaim the mortal-ruled lands that once were theirs....

About the book
From the author of Not What She Seems, Yasmin Angoe’s thriller explores revenge, morality, corruption, and wealth as a woman sets out to uncover the truth behind her friend’s disappearance and expose the powerful family behind it.
Isla Thorne had a rough start in life. Orphaned young, she spent her formative years in a group home where she met her best friend, Eden Galloway. At sixteen, they decide to run away to LA…but Eden never makes it.
It’s been ten years since Eden vanished. And Isla’s determined to find her.
She begins at the last place Eden visited: the Corrigan mansion in Virginia. Eden claimed to have unfinished business there. Posing as an aspiring journalist, Isla insinuates herself into the wealthy family’s home and begins searching for the truth.
The more she digs, the more Isla discovers Eden isn’t who she thought she was. Was she even a victim, or did Eden plan this all along? Desperate for answers and to keep her identity hidden, Isla finds an ally in one of the Corrigan sons. But as she wades deeper into this power-hungry family’s secrets and lies, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a bloodline that’s more lethal than loyal.

About the book
"A captivating blend of science fiction, fantasy, and fairy tale reimagining that challenges traditional genre boundaries. . . . an engaging, thought-provoking reading experience that challenges and delights in equal measure.” —Medium
In this spellbinding, fantasy-rich romance, a woman is swept into a world where she has the power to alter fairy tales, and change a kingdom’s destiny…
To Kaley Arens, a PhD student and expert in folklore, fairy stories have always had a power and an allure beyond mere entertainment.
It’s only when Kaley accompanies her lifelong friend Jobi on a visit to his home that she realizes how much she still has to learn. Bellis isn’t the remote island that she believed it to be. It’s another world—a stunningly beautiful and seductive one, with its own royalty, its own rules, and inhabitants who breathe life into the tales she was taught were fiction.
Kaley’s presence is no simple holiday. She has a mysterious connection with Jobi and with Bellis, and abilities that may help determine this world’s fate. Tasked with locating a lost prince, Kaley and her companions—the enigmatic Tanek, a member of the Order of Swans, and Sojee, Kaley's colossal bodyguard—journey through a land both thrilling and terrifying, where the uncanny and the familiar go hand in hand.
But in fairy tales, heroes and villains are easy to discern. Here, nothing is quite as it seems. And though Kaley is discovering that she can change the outcome of the fairy tales she knows so well, her own story is unfolding in ways impossible to predict, with a destiny she could never have foretold…

About the book
A Historical Novel Inspired by a True Story
She was a poor young German woman with nothing to her name, forced into prostitution just to survive. Yet in the darkest moments of her nation’s history, she risked everything to hide Jewish women, shielding them from the Nazis at the cost of her own safety.
Berlin, 1923. The city is still licking its wounds after the Great War. Citizens struggle to endure the crushing economic crisis as the Nazi movement quietly begins its rise. Clara, a young and impoverished woman living with her mother, clings desperately to her job. She doesn’t dream of changing the world. She doesn’t want to fight. All she longs for is to marry and live a simple, quiet life.

Desire hits hardest when it unsettles everything a person thought they understood about themselves.
Off Balance
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Erotica · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Desire hits hardest when it unsettles everything a person thought they understood about themselves. In Off Balance, a boxer fighting for a comeback and a younger ballet dancer pulled thin by pressure and control find unexpected comfort in each other, even as the connection between them turns impossible to ignore.

About the book
Younger. Forbidden. Distracting. Male. And on cusp of the comeback fight of a lifetime, Domenick Conner can’t get Cameron Stevens out of his head.
A decade after a brutal head injury took him out of a successful career in boxing, Domenick Connor moves home to train with his brother for a very public comeback. When Cameron Stevens dances into his life, Dom doesn’t understand the intense and undeniable pull to the much younger man. The desire knocks him off kilter and throws everything he’s ever known about himself into question. But that doesn’t stop Dom from watching, coveting, craving him…
Cameron Stevens is a perfectionist, fiercely dedicated to his craft, and already overwhelmed with the pressures of pleasing his overbearing boyfriend and boss. But when his new stepfather asks him to teach his brother ballet to help with balance and footwork for an upcoming boxing match, he can’t help but agree. The gruff boxer comforts and encourages him in a way that he’s never experienced before, and it draws him in like a moth to a flame.
As the unlikely pair navigate their intense chemistry, Cameron and Dom must decide whether to continue fighting the attraction between them, or fight for love instead.

This is true crime for readers drawn to historical cases, investigative detail, and unresolved questions that still unsettle.
Cemetery John
Biographies & Memoirs · True Crime
Our take
Some crimes refuse to stay settled, especially when the accepted story leaves too many gaps. In Cemetery John, Robert Zorn reexamines the Lindbergh kidnapping and builds a case for an overlooked mastermind, using research, personal documents, and new evidence to challenge decades of assumption. This is true crime for readers drawn to historical cases, investigative detail, and unresolved questions that still unsettle.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This true crime novel examines the 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping, arguing it was orchestrated by a Bronx deli clerk who got away with the crime scot-free.
In this meticulous and authoritative account of the trial and the times of the Lindbergh kidnapping, Robert Zorn clears away decades of ungrounded speculation surrounding the case. Inspired by his father's relationship with the actual accomplices—including the mastermind—he presents the clearest ever picture of a criminal partnership that would shake every class and culture of American society.
Using personal possessions and documents, never-before-seen photographs, new forensic evidence, and extensive research, Robert Zorn has written a shocking and captivating account of the crime and the original "Trial of the Century." From the ecstatic riots that followed the Spirit of St. Louis on either side of the Atlantic, to the tragic night that would shake America's sense of security, to the horror of the New Jersey morgue where Lindbergh insisted on verifying the identity of his son, Zorn's skillful treatment meets this larger-than-life story and gives it definitive shape by revealing the true events behind the crime, for the first time.
Praise for Cemetery John
"Eighty years after the kidnapping of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh's baby from their Englewood, N.J., home, the case still raises questions, ones Zorn ably examines through an unusual lens. . . . Retelling the by now familiar story of Charlie Lindbergh's kidnapping, Zorn imbues it with novelistic suspense. Even if Zorn doesn't definitively prove that Knoll, who died in 1980, was the crime's mastermind and Hauptmann's accomplice, he makes a strong case." —Publishers Weekly
"Debut author Zorn makes a compelling case that the 1932 Lindbergh kidnapping was orchestrated by a Bronx deli clerk who got away with the crime scot-free. . . . Zorn's research includes new forensic evidence, personal and historical documents, and interviews, laying the foundation for a thrilling true-crime tale that offers a resounding answer to the question of who was really responsible for the kidnapping." —Kirkus Reviews

In Kapitoil, ambition and dislocation shape a young man’s uneasy rise through New York’s finance world on the edge of Y2K.
Kapitoil
Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Coming of Age · Contemporary Fiction
Our take
In Kapitoil, ambition and dislocation shape a young man’s uneasy rise through New York’s finance world on the edge of Y2K. Karim arrives armed with brilliance and logic, only to find that success, loyalty, and belonging are far harder to calculate. This is literary fiction with a sharp corporate setting, cultural tension, and a coming-of-age arc shaped by identity and moral conflict.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"A brilliant book. Karim Issar is one of the freshest, funniest heroes I've come across in a long time" in this coming of age novel set in NYC during Y2K (Ben Fountain, bestselling author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara).
"Sometimes you do not truly observe something until you study it in reverse," writes Karim Issar upon arrival to New York City from Qatar in 1999. Fluent in numbers, logic, and business jargon yet often baffled by human connection, the young financial wizard soon creates a computer program named Kapitoil that predicts oil futures and reaps record profits for his company.
At first an introspective loner adrift in New York's social scenes, he anchors himself to his legendary boss Derek Schrub and Rebecca, a sensitive, disillusioned colleague who may understand him better than he does himself. Her influence, and his father's disapproval of Karim's Americanization, cause him to question the moral implications of Kapitoil, moving him toward a decision that will determine his future, his firm's, and to whom—and where—his loyalties lie.
"An innovative and incisive meditation on the wages of corporate greed, the fundamental darkness of its vision lit by the author's great comic intelligence and wit." — Kathryn Davis, author of The Thin Place, Hell: A Novel, and Versailles
"[A] strong and heartfelt debut." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This wonderfully assured debut novel, at once poignant, insightful, and funny, details Karim's passage through a new world of corporate sharks, Manhattan clubs, museums, Bob Dylan lyrics, and personal growth." —Booklist, starred review

About the book
The thrilling start to the Phoenix Legacy space opera: "A new classic! Has the sweep and power of Asimov's Foundation Trilogy" (Jean M. Auel, author of the Earth's Children series).
At the heart of the Concord empire, unrest is festering. Unrecognized by the Elite, the ruling class, an undercurrent of rebellion is surging through the enslaved Bond class. It's a threat that could bring down all of civilization, creating a third Dark Age.
Lord Alexand, first born of the House of DeKoven Woolf, stands to inherit a vast industrial conglomerate along with a seat on the Directorate, the Concord's ruling body. But he sees the writing on the wall and realizes that if the Bonds explode into total rebellion, there will be nothing to inherit, and the toll in human suffering will be beyond calculation. He makes the difficult decision to "die" and join the Society of the Phoenix, a clandestine organization whose existence is known to only a few Directorate Lords, who consider membership treason and punishable by death. But it may be humanity's only hope . . .

About the book
THIS JUST IN: HOCKEY BAD BOY AND POP STAR EXTRAORDINAIRE ENGAGED!
That was the headline we'd wanted. If only I’d known the cost to get it.
Aleksander Suter has been my best friend since high school—and the only man who’s ever been able to truly get under my skin. With his reputation for trouble and a smirk that could melt ice, he’s also the NHL’s favorite bad boy.
When my publicist’s plan to fix my image collides with his need to clean up his own, we find ourselves in a fake engagement that feels too real from the start.
Now, I’m releasing my new album, putting on a show for the paparazzi I usually try to dodge, and falling too fast for a man who never falls for anyone. Every stolen glance, every heated touch blurs the lines between us until I’m wondering where the lies end and the truth begins.
And when a hurricane traps us together in his high-rise condo, all my carefully built walls collapse, and resisting the pull between us becomes a losing game.
Suddenly, the stakes are higher than just headlines, and the risks feel more personal than ever.
But as our past resurfaces and old feelings reignite, I realize the biggest risk isn’t losing my career—it’s losing my heart to the one person I thought would never be mine.

‘A classically brilliant fantasy writer’ – Paul Cornell
The unmaking of the world has begun.
From the depths of the darkest myths, the soulless Plague People have returned. Their pale-walled camps obliterate villages, just as the terror they bring with them destroys minds.

The heroes and leaders of the true people – Maniye, Loud Thunder, Hesprec and Asman – will each fight the Plague People in their own ways. They will seek allies, gather armies and lead the charge. But a thousand swords or ten thousand spears will not suffice to turn back this enemy. The end is at hand for everything the true people know . . .

"An amazing achievement. . . A compulsively readable novel, so canny and weird and surfeited with the reality of human capacity and ingenuity that I am stymied for comparison. Dickens and David Lynch? Defoe meets Margaret Atwood? Judge for yourself." —Gregory Maguire, New York Times-bestselling author of Wicked
The wry, macabre, unforgettable tale of an ambitious orphan in Revolutionary Paris, befriended by royalty and radicals, who transforms herself into the legendary Madame Tussaud.
In 1761, a tiny, odd-looking girl named Marie is born in a village in Switzerland. After the death of her parents, she is apprenticed to an eccentric wax sculptor and whisked off to the seamy streets of Paris, where they meet a domineering widow and her quiet, pale son. Together, they convert an abandoned monkey house into an exhibition hall for wax heads, and the spectacle becomes a sensation. As word of her artistic talent spreads, Marie is called to Versailles, where she tutors a princess and saves Marie Antoinette in childbirth. But outside the palace walls, Paris is roiling: The revolutionary mob is demanding heads, and . . . at the wax museum, heads are what they do.
In the tradition of Gregory Maguire's Wicked and Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, Edward Carey's Little is a darkly endearing cavalcade of a novel—a story of art, class, determination, and how we hold on to what we love.
