About the book
A THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN
Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.

Dark Tidings

Ryan O’Neill’s Dark Tidings is a standout dark fantasy where assassins, demons, and necromancy collide. Featuring Chael, a reluctant hero with an undead wolf companion, this tale of power and redemption has been praised for its “intricate plot and well-developed characters” (OnlineBookClub).

Choose your retailer
About the book
Chael was forged in shadows, abandoned as a child, enslaved, and trained to kill. Whispers call him the Darkborn, a vessel of ultimate evil. But he refuses to be anyone’s weapon. With his undead wolf, Michik, at his side, Chael hides deep within the Western Forest, hoping his bloody past will never find him.
Fate has other plans. Demons rise again, old masters stir, and zealous cultists hunt for the Darkborn’s power. When messengers arrive bearing news of a friend long thought dead, Chael must choose: step into the world that fears and despises him, or let darkness consume it.
Every path leads to war, and Chael’s decision could either damn humanity or save it. The question is, who truly controls the dark?

About the book
“You can’t choose a wife based on a spreadsheet.”
“It’s a RUBRIC.”
“Even worse!”
With the king’s health in decline, the time is short for Crown Prince Phillip of Elsinore to choose a suitable wife.
Preferably NOT one of the many titled women who seem only interested in the crown.
Like the logical, responsible man he is, Phillip treats this task the way he does everything else--analytically, with measurable data points.
Leaving Elsinore in secret, Phillip travels to a tiny Italian village to meet the woman best matching his qualifications. The plan is to present Alessia with a proposal of marriage and return to the palace before anyone notices his absence.
What he didn’t plan for: FEELINGS.
His--almost immediate, gut-punching attraction like he’s never felt.
Hers--seeming dislike and distrust like he’s never experienced.
Phillip’s very practical plan has been replaced with a new one: to stay on and win Alessia’s affection at any cost.
Even if the cost is walking away from the crown ...
Royal Gone Rogue is the second in the Sweet Royal RomCom series with laugh-out-loud humor, heart-warming love stories, and sizzling chemistry that keeps the bedroom door closed.

Our take
Davi finally ended the cycle of failure—by becoming the Dark Lord. But her armies want blood, a duke plots rebellion, and the time loop isn’t done with her yet.

About the book
After dying more times than she can count, Davi has finally saved the kingdom—by becoming the Dark Lord herself. Now, victory feels suspiciously like failure. The wilders still crave human blood, her armies are restless, and peace seems as distant as ever.
But when a scheming duke threatens rebellion and rumors of an ancient magician surface, Davi must unravel the truth behind the time loop that’s trapped her for lifetimes. Every choice could end the fragile balance she fought to build.
Caught between destiny, destruction, and a very angry girlfriend, Davi faces her greatest challenge yet: fixing the world she broke.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me delivers a sharp, bloody, and darkly funny finale to Django Wexler’s acclaimed duology.

Our take
A soldier turned tavern guard. A kingdom on the brink. A destiny forged in magic. The Queen’s Blade kicks off a gripping fantasy saga full of reluctant heroes, court intrigue, and forgotten power.

Choose your retailer
About the book
He walked away from war. But war didn’t walk away from him.
Zaren Joha was once a soldier—disciplined, deadly, and disillusioned. Now he keeps peace in a quiet riverside tavern, trading command for calm and blades for ale. It’s not a grand life, but it’s his.
Until Waleith arrives.
Mysterious, calculating, and wielding authority straight from the Queen’s inner circle, Waleith pulls Zaren into a world of vanishing outposts, forbidden magic, and assassins cloaked in royal approval. What begins as a simple job quickly spirals into something far darker.
Old instincts resurface. So do old enemies.
As ancient forces stir and political tides shift, Zaren must face the truth: strength alone won’t save him—or those he’s grown to care for. To survive, he must become more than a soldier.
He must become the Queen’s Blade.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The first book of the epic fantasy caper Gentleman Bastard Sequence about a roguish group of conmen, which George R. R. Martin says “captured me right on the first page and never let me go.”

As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentlemen Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld’s most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game—or die trying.

The Blade Itself
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Violence follows men who cannot escape what they are, even as war closes in around them. Logen Ninefingers fights to survive a past that refuses to stay buried, Jezal dan Luthar chases hollow glory, and Glokta hunts treason through pain and suspicion. This epic fantasy builds through intersecting lives, moral ambiguity, and rising conflict, where power, survival, and consequence collide.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The first novel in the First Law Trilogy from New York Times bestseller, Joe Abercrombie.
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian—leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle.
But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.
Enter the wizard, Bayaz. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult.
Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.
Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is noir fantasy with a real cutting edge.
