Forbidden magic puts Emelin in the path of a fae assassin whose silence makes him no less dangerous.
Court of Blood and Bindings
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
Forbidden magic puts Emelin in the path of a fae assassin whose silence makes him no less dangerous. In Court of Blood and Bindings, she must pose as Creon’s lover inside the Crimson Court, where humans are prey and rebellion moves beneath the glittering surface. This is spicy enemies-to-lovers romantasy with forced proximity, court intrigue, dangerous bargains, and slow-burn trust.

About the book
He’s the queen’s deadliest weapon. She might be his only weakness.
Living in a quiet human village, Emelin knows better than to use forbidden magic – but one mistake lands her in the hands of the legendary fae assassin known as the Silent Death. He’s beautiful. Brutal. Voiceless. And instead of killing her, he offers her a dangerous bargain.
To survive, she must join him at the Crimson Court, the glittering heart of fae power and cruelty – to play the part of his lover in a realm where humans are nothing but prey.
But Creon is not the monster she expected. He’s worse.
He always seems to know what she’s thinking. He shields her like it’s instinct. And when his burning gaze lingers on her lips, she forgets what side she’s supposed to be on.
As rebellion stirs beneath the court’s jewelled surface, Emelin finds herself drawn into a game of lies and secrets where every alliance is a risk and every touch could be her ruin. Creon may need her magic to bring down the queen … but if she lets herself trust him, it won’t be just her life on the line.
It will be her heart.
Court of Blood and Bindings is the first book in the completed Fae Isles series, an epic enemies to lovers romantasy featuring a morally grey fae executioner, the rebellious human he kidnaps, and their sizzling slow burn romance. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Serpent and the Wings of Night, the first book does contain spicy content intended for 18+ readers.

Athena’s Champion follows a young Odysseus whose future shatters when a prophecy exposes a deadly secret and turns his own family against him.
Athena’s Champion
Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Athena’s Champion follows a young Odysseus whose future shatters when a prophecy exposes a deadly secret and turns his own family against him. Forced into exile, he accepts sanctuary from Athena and enters a hidden war where gods use mortals as pieces in their power games. This is mythic fantasy rooted in Greek legend, with divine conflict, political danger, and a hero surviving by wit as much as steel.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Gods and mortals collide in this spellbinding retelling of a legend from classic Greek mythology, the first in the epic Olympus Trilogy.
A prophecy condemns him, a goddess binds him, but wisdom can set Odysseus free . . .
Young Prince Odysseus is about to have his world torn apart. He has travelled to the oracle at Pytho to be anointed as heir to his island kingdom, but instead a terrible secret is revealed, one that tears down every pillar of his life and marks him out for death.
Outcast by his family and on the run, Odysseus is offered sanctuary by Athena, goddess of wisdom, and thrust headfirst into the secret war between the gods. But can his wits, and his skill as a warrior, keep him ahead of their power games—and alive?
"If you like magic and mayhem wrapped around ancient historical legends, this cup of nectar has your name on it. Recommended." —Historical Novel Society
"A refreshing, modern take of Odysseus' story. It has humor and exciting action." —Book Rambler

The Falconer
Romantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
In 1844 Edinburgh, society’s glitter hides a war no debutante should have to fight. The Falconer follows Aileana Kameron as she hunts deadly fae, guards a weakening magical prison, and forms a dangerous alliance with Kiaran MacKay, a fae assassin with secrets of his own. It’s historical romantasy built on vengeance, forbidden attraction, and a heroine forced to choose what survival will cost.

"The Book of Fallen Leaves is lyrically told, rife with history and political intrigue. This is the rare book that is somehow both vast and intimate—with battles that leap off the page and characters who yearn to do what’s right." —Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter

Queen of the Night turns forbidden trust into a dangerous kind of magic as a hidden woman and a desperate king chase the same impossible salvation.
Queen of the Night
Epic Fantasy · Romantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Queen of the Night turns forbidden trust into a dangerous kind of magic as a hidden woman and a desperate king chase the same impossible salvation. Vera wants freedom from the secrets that could get her killed, while Ikar needs the Black Tulip power she is hiding. Their uneasy alliance gives this slow-burn epic fantasy romance its pull: duty, betrayal, shadow monsters, and feelings neither of them can afford.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A king risking all for his kingdom. A woman in hiding with the magic he needs. When duty requires betrayal… which side do you choose?
Vera
It’s not easy being a Black Tulip… masquerading as an Originator so I’m not murdered by the kings. All I want is to escape the secrets I’m buried in—but that requires money. So when my handsome bounty offers me a tempting contract that pays so well it could set me free… I can’t resist accepting.
I simply need to help find a magic flower for the king, survive the savage shadow monsters, and return home without falling further for the man I don’t fully trust. I prepared myself for the dangers found on the journey, but nothing prepares me for the moment I find out who my bounty really is…
Ikar
I search for two things to save my kingdom: a woman marked as a Black Tulip, and the black tulip flower that will bridge our magic. Sounds simple… except I can’t find either one, time is running out, and my heart is at risk of being captured by a woman I can never have.
I contracted Vera to join my team as an Originator to search for the flower, but the secrets and forbidden feelings between us threaten to destroy our already perilous mission. It’s not long before we’re forced to confront the truth behind the many secrets we carry when a formidable enemy arises that we never saw coming.
Queen of the Night is the second book in a no-spice, slow-burn, enemies-to-loves epic fantasy romance series for fans of Shari Tapscott and Kenley Davidson.

The Lesser Dead turns 1970s New York into a grimy vampire underworld where the hunters are not nearly as safe as they think.
The Lesser Dead
Horror · Dark Fantasy
Our take
The Lesser Dead turns 1970s New York into a grimy vampire underworld where the hunters are not nearly as safe as they think. Joey Peacock has spent decades feeding, drifting through clubs, cabs, subways, and hidden tunnels with practiced ease, until strange undead children appear beneath Manhattan. This is vampire horror with sharp menace, urban decay, and a narrator who knows monsters can still be afraid.

About the book
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S BEST HORROR NOVEL OF THE YEAR
“As much F. Scott Fitzgerald as Dean Koontz” (#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs), Christopher Buehlman excels in twisting the familiar into newfound dread in his “genre-bending” (California Literary Review) novels. Now the acclaimed author of Those Across the River delivers his most disquieting tale yet...
The secret is, vampires are real and I am one.
The secret is, I’m stealing from you what is most truly yours and I’m not sorry...
New York City in 1978 is a dirty, dangerous place to live. And die. Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybody—he has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the city’s sidewalks.
The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. It’s almost too easy.
Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like him…or not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were.
And neither are the rest of us.

Dire Bound turns survival into a test of blood, loyalty, and forbidden desire in a world where power belongs to those bonded with lethal direwolves.
Dire Bound
Dark Fantasy · Romantasy
Our take
Dire Bound turns survival into a test of blood, loyalty, and forbidden desire in a world where power belongs to those bonded with lethal direwolves. Meryn Cooper enters the deadly Bonding Trials to save her kidnapped sister, only to face a hostile castle, a feral wolf, dangerous rivals, and an instructor watching for weakness. It’s romantasy built on class conflict, brutal training, monster war, and high-stakes attraction.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this spicy, page-turning romantasy where humans and direwolves forge unbreakable bonds and fight for survival at all costs.
Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She’ll risk her life—and her heart—to be one of them.
Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty. When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped—stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting—Meryn’s world falls apart.
Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake will cost her life.
Now Meryn must survive four months of training at the castle. She is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold and beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any weakness.
Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her—everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back. In the castle, every smile hides a knife…and the halls hide dark secrets.
It’s bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure is ruin.
Dire Bound contains mature content including depictions of graphic violence, and is therefore recommended for readers 17+. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.

The zombie outbreak begins with a woman who wakes dead, thinking clearly, and surrounded by creatures that recognize her as one of their own.
Monster Nation
Dystopian · Horror · Dark Fantasy · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
The zombie outbreak begins with a woman who wakes dead, thinking clearly, and surrounded by creatures that recognize her as one of their own. Monster Nation fits zombie horror through its dual focus on Nilla’s uncanny transformation and Captain Clark’s fight to lead survivors as the American West collapses under an epidemic with darker forces moving beneath it.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The second entry in this "inventive and exciting" zombie series that began with Monster Island (Publishers Weekly).
This is where it begins. This is where the end of the world begins? She wakes up alone and feeling like she's half-dead. She can't remember her name. She staggers outside, looking for help—and that's when she sees that the dead have returned to life, that zombies are running in the streets and devouring the living. And she's one of them. She isn't breathing. The zombies leave her alone. Because they know she's one of their kind. And yet she differs from the brainless ghouls around her in some crucial ways. Somehow she's kept her intelligence intact, if not her memory. And being dead has certain compensations. She has developed strange powers. She calls herself Nilla, and all she knows is that staying alive only gets harder after you die? Meanwhile the National Guard has its hands full with the worst epidemic ever to strike the American west. From California to Colorado every town, every city is being overrun. Captain Bannerman Clark isn't prepared for this. He's semi-retired and he hasn't fired a gun in years, not since the Vietnam war. Yet it seems there's no one else around to take charge. As the world we know collapses he must find in himself the brains, the guts, and the moral courage to lead the survivors to safety, if there's any to be had. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, shadowy players are just beginning to show their hands. There's more going on here than meets the eye, and Clark and Nilla both have parts to play in a game they can't comprehend?

High Vaultage turns Victorian invention into a citywide tangle of impossible crimes, private detection, and absurd machinery.
High Vaultage
Sci-Fi · Galactic Empire · Steampunk
Our take
High Vaultage turns Victorian invention into a citywide tangle of impossible crimes, private detection, and absurd machinery. In Even Greater London, Archibald Fleet and Clara Entwhistle run a barely respected detective agency until a kidnapping case pulls them into a mystery linked to baffling bank robberies and the city’s strange infrastructure. This steampunk mystery blends cozy investigation, alternate history, and comic science fiction with a satirical edge.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the creators of the acclaimed audio drama podcast Victoriocity comes a cozy scifi mystery set in the chaotic metropolis of Even Greater London - unmissable for fans of Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series and Terry Pratchett's Discworld.
EVEN GREATER LONDON, 1887: a vast, uninterrupted urban plane encompassing the entire lower half of England and, for complex reasons, only the upper third of the Isle of Wight... The immense Tower casts electricity across the sky itself, powering the mind-boggling mechanisms of the city below; the notorious engineer-army swarms through its very veins, building, demolishing, and rebuilding whatever they see fit; and - at the heart of it all - sits the country's first ever private detective agency.
Archibald Fleet and Clara Entwhistle hoped things would pick up quickly for their new enterprise. No one is taking them seriously, but their break will come soon. Definitely... Probably.
Meanwhile, police are baffled by a series of impossible bank robberies, their resources wholly absorbed by the case. Which means that when a woman witnesses a kidnapping, Fleet-Entwhistle Private Investigations is the only place she can turn for help. Luckily they're more than happy to oblige.
But what's the motive behind the kidnap? As Clara and Fleet investigate, they find more than they could ever have imagined...

Spellwright builds its magic from language, where a single mistake can wound, kill, or change a life.
Spellwright
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Spellwright builds its magic from language, where a single mistake can wound, kill, or change a life. Nicodemus has the talent to become a powerful wizard, but his dyslexia makes written spells dangerous in his hands, and a string of murders may reveal that his limitations are no accident. This inventive fantasy follows a flawed apprentice into prophecy, pursuit, and a threat tied to the fate of his world.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Think that words can't hurt you? Sometimes they can kill. The spells of textual magic in this enthralling tale will demonstrate just how." —Terry Brooks, New York Times–bestselling author of the Sword of Shannara trilogy
Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text . . . but he has always been dyslexic, and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation.
Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard. When a powerful, ancient evil begins a campaign of murder and disruption, Nicodemus starts to have disturbing dreams that lead him to believe that his misspelling could be the result of a curse. But before he can discover the truth about himself, he is attacked by an evil that has already claimed the lives of fellow wizards. He must flee for his own life if he's to find the true villain.
But more is at stake than his abilities. For the evil that has awakened is a power so vast that if unleashed it will destroy Nicodemus . . . and the world.
"Superbly tells the story of a young man searching for his place in the world." —Booklist, starred review
"The innovative spell craft will please fantasy readers." —Publishers Weekly
"Clever and original." —Tad Williams, New York Times–bestselling author of Shadowmarch

The Devils of D-Day turns a sealed WWII tank into the doorway for an older, bloodier horror.
The Devils of D-Day
Dark Fantasy · Horror
Our take
The Devils of D-Day turns a sealed WWII tank into the doorway for an older, bloodier horror. When surveyor Dan McCook discovers the abandoned machine outside a French village, curiosity draws him toward the thing trapped inside. This classic horror novel blends wartime history, demonic possession, and apocalyptic dread into a story where one opened hatch could restart the world’s nightmares.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Unsealing the hatch of a rusty old WWII tank will unleash a demonic nightmare in this novel by "the master of modern horror" (Library Journal).
Thirty-five years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day turned the tide of World War II against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Reich, and it's been more than three decades since the residents of the tiny French village of Le Vey witnessed the horrific slaughter of hundreds of German soldiers by thirteen black tanks. One of the tanks remains on the outskirts of town—its hatch mysteriously sealed, trapping its controller inside—only to be discovered by American surveyor and cartographer Dan McCook.
Driven by curiosity and an inexplicable compulsion, McCook is about to do the unthinkable and release what lives within the tank upon an unsuspecting world. And once the monstrous occupant reunites with others of its demonic kind, a new world war will begin, one that threatens to wash the earth in blood and drag every man, woman, and child through the fiery gates of hell.
A chilling and ingeniously original tale of demonic possession and apocalyptic possibilities, The Devils of D-Day is classic horror at its best, from the award-winning author of The Manitou.
