There's a killer inside all of us…
In the remote hills of western Ireland, fear spreads as the locals struggle to make sense of a killer who is seemingly one of their own...
Dr. Alexander Gregory, a psychologist recovering from the collapse of a high-profile criminal profiling unit, wants nothing more than a quiet life to finally sit and think things through. But his rare ability to understand the minds of violent offenders makes him hard to ignore—especially when a small town is shaken by a brutal murder. Reluctantly pulled into the case, Gregory finds himself confronting not only a cunning predator, but the darker corners of his own mind.

The world has collapsed into cold silence, but one woman still moves through its ruins with discipline, grit, and a fragile sense of purpose.
Far North
Dystopian · Mystery · Thriller
Our take
The world has collapsed into cold silence, but one woman still moves through its ruins with discipline, grit, and a fragile sense of purpose. In Far North, a sheriff in a failed frontier city sets out after signs of life beyond the wasteland and finds brutality, mystery, and the faint possibility of redemption. This is literary dystopian fiction at its starkest and most hopeful.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Far North is a 2009 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.
My father had an expression for a thing that turned out bad. He'd say it had gone west. But going west always sounded pretty good to me. After all, westwards is the path of the sun. And through as much history as I know of, people have moved west to settle and find freedom. But our world had gone north, truly gone north, and just how far north I was beginning to learn.
Out on the frontier of a failed state, Makepeace—sheriff and perhaps last citizen—patrols a city's ruins, salvaging books but keeping the guns in good repair.
Into this cold land comes shocking evidence that life might be flourishing elsewhere: a refugee emerges from the vast emptiness of forest, whose existence inspires Makepeace to reconnect with human society and take to the road, armed with rough humor and an unlikely ration of optimism.
What Makepeace finds is a world unraveling: stockaded villages enforcing an uncertain justice and hidden work camps laboring to harness the little-understood technologies of a vanished civilization. But Makepeace's journey—rife with danger—also leads to an unexpected redemption.
Far North takes the reader on a quest through an unforgettable arctic landscape, from humanity's origins to its possible end. Haunting, spare, yet stubbornly hopeful, the novel is suffused with an ecstatic awareness of the world's fragility and beauty, and its ability to recover from our worst trespasses.

Empty Net
Romance · RomCom · Sports Romance
Our take
A fake engagement is supposed to solve one problem, not create a much bigger one. In Empty Net, a goalie trying to keep his team focused and a heroine dodging her mother’s matchmaking spiral into something far messier than pretend.

About the book
I have two goals this season:
1. Stop enough pucks to get the Seattle Serpents to the playoffs.
2. Don’t fall for my fake fiancée.
When Lilah Maddison’s mother keeps trying to set her up on dates she’s not interested in, she blurts out that she’s already seeing someone. The problem? She’s single.
So, I step in to help and agree to pretend to be her boyfriend for an event. But when things go awry, we’re no longer just dating—we’re engaged. Now, I have to find a way to keep her family off her back and our team in a playoff spot, all without falling in love with Lilah, which seems more impossible with each passing day.
She’s funny, driven, drop-dead gorgeous, and not afraid to make the first move. I know we’re playing a dangerous game, yet I can’t stop myself from having feelings I definitely shouldn’t be having, especially not for my fake fiancée.
It’s my job to block, make saves, and keep the puck out of my own net, but this might be one match I can’t win…and I might not want to.
EMPTY NET is a standalone hockey romance novel. There's a cinnamon roll goalie (who is a very good boy)who is fake engaged to a headstrong heroine, found family vibes, slightly unhinged group chats with teammates, plenty of steam, and a happy ending.

Prospero’s Children
Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Old magic rarely stays buried, and when the past stirs, Fern Capel is drawn into forces far older and stranger than she understands. In Prospero’s Children, a forgotten key tied to the fall of Atlantis resurfaces in modern Yorkshire, pulling one young woman toward hidden histories, dangerous power, and a world where myth feels unsettlingly alive. This is mythic fantasy with an eerie atmosphere and a strong sense of awakening mystery.

About the book
It began ages past in fabled Atlantis, when a mad, power-hungry queen forged a key to a door never meant to be opened by mortal man--its inception would hasten her own death and the extinction of her vainglorious race. For millennia the key lay forgotten beneath the waves, lost amid the ruins of what had been the most beautiful city on Earth. But however jealously the sea hoards its secrets, sooner or later it yields them up. Now, in present-day Yorkshire, that time has come. And for young Fernanda Capel, life will never be the same again . . .

"This dark fantasy epic will be held up against George R.R. Martin's masterwork, A Song of Ice and Fire. Read this book now so you can act pompous around your friends when HBO turns it into a television series." - Goodreads
"Kings of Paradise presents a brutal world of complex yet simple politics, reminiscent of Game of Thrones. An intriguing low-magic world packed with interesting cultures to be further delved. Nell shows considerable skill in displaying his world distinctly through the eyes of his different characters." - Fantasybookreview.co.uk
Ruka, called a demon at birth, is a genius. Born malformed and ugly into the snow-covered wasteland of the Ascom, he was spared from death by his mother's love.

Across a vast sea in the white-sand island paradise of Sri Kon, Kale is fourth and youngest son of the Sorcerer King. At sixteen, Kale is a disappointment. As the first prince ever forced to serve with low-born marines, Kale must prove himself and become a man, or else lose all chance of a worthy future, and any hope to win the love of his life. Though they do not know it, both boys are on the cusp of discovery. Their worlds and lives are destined for greatness, or ruin. But in a changing world where ash meets paradise, only one man can be king...
The first installment of an epic, low- fantasy trilogy. Kings of Paradise is a dark, bloody, coming-of-age story shaped by culture, politics, and magic.

Everything Kellen believes about magic begins to fracture when forbidden books lead him beyond the rigid safety of the city he once trusted.
The Outstretched Shadow
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Everything Kellen believes about magic begins to fracture when forbidden books lead him beyond the rigid safety of the city he once trusted. In The Outstretched Shadow, a young mage uncovers buried corruption, awakens to a wilder and more dangerous power, and finds himself hunted alongside creatures he was taught to fear. This is classic epic fantasy with exile, hidden truths, ancient evil, and a wide world opening at terrible cost.

About the book
The Outstretched Shadow, the first book in The Obsidian Trilogy from Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory
Kellen Tavadon, son of the Arch-Mage Lycaelon, thought he knew the way the world worked. His father, leading the wise and benevolent Council of Mages, protected and guided the citizens of the Golden City of the Bells. Young Mages in training--all men, for women were unfit to practice magic--memorized the intricate details of High Magic and aspired to seats on the council.
Then he found the forbidden Books of Wild Magic--or did they find him? The three slim volumes woke Kellen to the wide world outside the City's isolating walls. Their Magic was not dead, strangled by rules and regulations. It felt like a living thing, guided by the hearts and minds of those who practiced it and benefited from it.
Questioning everything he has known, Kellen discovers too many of the City's dark secrets. Banished, with the Outlaw Hunt on his heels, Kellen invokes Wild Magic--and finds himself running for his life with a unicorn at his side.
Kellen's life changes almost faster than he can understand or accept. Rescued by a unicorn, healed by a female Wild Mage who knows more about Kellen than anyone outside the City should, meeting Elven royalty and Elven warriors, and plunged into a world where the magical beings he has learned about as abstract concepts are flesh and blood creatures-Kellen both revels in and fears his new freedom.
Especially once he learns about Demons. He'd always thought they were another abstract concept-a stand-in for ultimate evil. But if centaurs and dryads are real, then Demons surely are as well. And the one thing all the Mages of the City agreed on was that practicing Wild Magic corrupted a Mage. Turned him into a Demon. Would that be Kellen's fate?
Deep in Obsidian Mountain, the Demons are waiting. Since their defeat in the last great War, they've been biding their time, sowing the seeds of distrust and discontent between their human and Elven enemies. Very soon now, when the Demons rise to make war, there will be no alliance between High and Wild Magic to stand against them. And all the world will belong to the Endarkened.

Trouble follows Eli Monpress because he invites it with a grin and a plan no one sane would attempt.
The Legend of Eli Monpress
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Trouble follows Eli Monpress because he invites it with a grin and a plan no one sane would attempt. In The Legend of Eli Monpress, a charming thief and wizard sets out to raise the bounty on his own head by stealing increasingly impossible targets, including a king. This is a fast-moving fantasy with sharp banter, inventive magic, and a delightfully reckless streak.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Eli Monpress is talented. He's charming. And he's a thief.
But not just any thief. He's the greatest thief of the age - and he's also a wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's going to put his plan into effect.
The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while.
Like a king.

In a world where magic feeds on human life, power carries the threat of corruption from the start.
Feast of Souls
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
In a world where magic feeds on human life, power carries the threat of corruption from the start. In Feast of Souls, a young woman’s rising abilities place her against an immortal male order while her fate binds to a dying prince and a world sliding toward war. This is high fantasy built on sacrifice, dark power, and the fear of what ambition can awaken.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Classic high fantasy gets a vampire twist in this epic trilogy set in a world of treachery and war, good and evil—and where the cost of magic is life itself.
As a young woman’s powers grow to rival those of the immortal, all-male Magisters, her fate becomes entwined with that of a sick prince . . .
At the end of her bestselling Coldfire trilogy, C.S. Friedman challenged readers to imagine what a world would be like if sorcery required the ultimate sacrifice—that of life itself. Now, in Feast of Souls, she introduces us to a terrifying world in which the cost of magic is just that . . . in which the fuel for sorcery is the very fire of the human spirit, and those who hunger for magical power must pay for it with their lives. In this epic tale of nightmarish shadows and desperate hope, the greatest threat of all may not be that of ancient enemies returned, or ancient wars resumed, but of the darkness that lies within the hearts of men.
With Feast of Souls, C.S. Friedman returns to the epic style which has made her one of the most popular fantasy writers in the genre. This first book of the Magisters trilogy plunges readers into a world of vampire-like magical powers, erotic interludes, treachery, war, sorcery—and a draconic creature of horrific power and evil.

Going home means reopening the kind of violence that never really stayed in the past.
Every Sweet Thing Is Bitter
LGBTQIA+ · Mystery · Thriller · Suspense
Our take
Going home means reopening the kind of violence that never really stayed in the past. In Every Sweet Thing Is Bitter, Providence Byrd returns after her mother’s disappearance believing her abusive father is responsible, only to find herself caught between revenge, family fracture, and the possibility of redemption. This suspense-driven literary novel explores inherited harm, sisterhood, and the brutal difficulty of choosing healing over vengeance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A woman with a violent past gets a chance at redemption in this upmarket suspense debut, perfect for fans of Lisa Taddeo and Tiffany McDaniel.
Thirteen years ago, Providence Byrd threw the family car in reverse and ran over her mother. Even though her mother survived, that single instant of teenage madness made Providence a felon and irrevocably altered her life. When her mother disappears years later under suspicious circumstances, Providence tells herself that returning home is her chance to find closure after a prolonged estrangement from her family. Never mind that this is only half of the truth: she’s also returning to finally confront her abusive father, Tom Byrd. Nothing can stamp out Providence’s certainty that he is guilty of whatever terrible thing has happened to her mother.
As the search unfolds, Providence is haunted by the wounds of her past, none of which cut as deep as the distance between her and her younger sisters. Harmony and Grace are both uniquely scarred by her attempted matricide, and both have their own idea of what reconciliations might look like – if reconciling is even possible. Harmony urges Providence to make their father pay for his sins; Grace begs her to end the cycle of violence that has haunted their family for generations. As her thirst for vengeance collides with her desire to heal her relationships with her sisters, Providence must decide which she values more: revenge or redemption.
Sharp and poignant, Every Sweet Thing Is Bitter is a stunning novel that eschews picture-perfect endings and dares to tell a story about a resilient queer woman and her relentless determination to persevere.

The mountain is brutal enough without having to fight the world’s expectations on the way up. In Thirty Below, a team of women sets out to become the first all-female ascent of Denali, pushing through deadly conditions, public doubt, and the physical limits of survival itself.

Winner of the Banff Mountain Grand Prize and Banff Award in Mountain Literature.
Celebrated in Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, TIME, Men's Journal, Outside, The Guardian, and named one of the most noteworthy books of the month by The Washington Post.
"An entrancing tale of a harrowing adventure." -- Kirkus Reviews STARRED review.
Cassidy Randall draws on extensive archival research and original interviews to tell a propulsive, edge-of-the-seat adventure story about a forgotten group of climbers who had the audacity to believe that women could walk alone in extraordinary and treacherous heights.
Grace Hoeman dreamed of standing on top of Denali. The tallest peak in North America, the fierce polar mountain loomed large in many climbers' imaginations, and Grace, a doctor in Alaska, had come close to the top, only to be turned back by altitude sickness and a storm that took the lives of seven fellow climbers in one merciless blow.
Other expeditions denied her a place because of her gender, and when a letter arrived from a climber in California named Arlene Blum, who'd also been barred from expeditions, unless she stayed in base camp and cooked for the men, Grace got a defiant idea: she would organize and lead the first-ever all-female ascent of the frozen Alaskan peak.
Everyone told the "Denali Damsels," as the team called themselves, that it couldn't be done: Women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. Men had walked on the moon; women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited by sexists and misogynists. They pushed past barriers in society at large, the climbing world, and their own bodies.
And then, when disaster struck at the worst time on their expedition, they could either keep their wits and prove their mettle, or die and confirm the worst opinions of men.

The Girls of the Glimmer Factory

Our take
Friendship becomes a weapon in The Girls of the Glimmer Factory, where two women meet again inside a system built on lies, performance, and terror. As Hannah risks everything to expose the truth of Theresienstadt and Hilde helps shape the Nazi propaganda meant to hide it, the novel becomes a story of resistance, betrayal, and moral collapse under unimaginable pressure.

About the book
THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER!
"A gripping, powerful read. A valuable lesson for our own times." —Heather Morris, New York Times bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz
From the author of Cradles of the Reich comes a poignant and inspiring tale for fans of The Forest of Vanishing Stars and The German Wife about resistance, friendship, and the dangers of propaganda, based on the real story of the Nazi "show camp" Theresienstadt.
Hannah longs for the days when she used to be free, but now, she is a Jewish prisoner at Theresienstadt, a model ghetto where the Nazis plan to make a propaganda film to convince the world that the Jewish people are living well in the camps. But Hannah will do anything to show the world the truth. Along with other young resistance members, they vow to disrupt the filming and derail the increasingly frequent deportations to death camps in the east.
Hilde is a true believer in the Nazi cause, working in the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda. Though they're losing the war, Hilde hasn't lost faith. She can't stop the Allied bombings, but she can help the party create a documentary that will renew confidence in Hitler's plans for Jewish containment. When the filming of Hitler Gives a City to the Jews faces production problems due to resistance, Hilde finds herself in a position to finally make a name for herself. And when she recognizes Hannah, an old childhood friend, she knows she can use their friendship to get the film back on track.
