About the book
The instant New York Times bestseller:
“Today it hit me when he hit me, blood shaking in my brain. Maybe there wasn’t a savior coming. Maybe it was up to me to save me.”
Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles––a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.”
Tia knew that to their neighbors her family was strange, but she also couldn't risk exposing their secret lifestyle to police, doctors, teachers, or anyone outside of their church. Christians were called in scripture to be “in the world, not of it.” So, she hid in plain sight as years of abuse and pain followed. When Tia realized she was the only one who could protect her children from becoming the next generation of patriarchal men and submissive women, she began to resist and question how they lived. But in the patriarchy, a woman with opinions is in danger, and eventually, Tia faced an urgent and extreme choice: stay and face dire consequences, or flee with her children.
Told in a beautiful, honest, and sometimes harrowing voice, A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable and timely memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

17-year-old Quell has lived her entire life on the run. She and her mother have fled from city to city in order to hide the deadly magic that flows through Quell’s veins.
Until someone discovers her dark secret.
To hide from the assassin hunting her and keep her mother out of harm’s way, Quell reluctantly inducts into a debutante society of magical social elites called the Order that she never knew existed.

About the book
A Templar knight. An irascible priest. A Mongol princess. An impossible journey.
The Holy Land, 1260: Josseran Sarrazini has nothing left to lose. Sent by the pope on a mission that will take him beyond the edges of the known world, he knows the journey is impossibly dangerous... and suspects he will never return. That suits him just fine.
But only days into the trek, Josseran wants to throttle the man he is sworn to protect - a sharp-tongued priest whose survival rests entirely in his hands.
Far to the east, Khutelun is the fearless daughter of a Mongol chieftain. She was raised in the saddle of a horse. She can hit a stag with an arrow at two hundred paces. And she considers no man her equal. But when she is ordered to escort the Christian ambassadors along the treacherous Silk Road, she meets her match in Josseran.
Together they face searing deserts, treacherous mountain passes, kidnappers and blood feuds - all on the road to the fabled city of Xanadu and the court of the great Kublai Khan. But survival may not be enough... because what awaits them at journey's end could change the fate of empires.
Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith, Conn Iggulden and Ken Follett, Silk Road is a gripping historical thriller packed with danger, adventure and forbidden desire.

It’s literary fiction for readers who want big ideas with real feeling.
Enlightenment
Contemporary Fiction · Literary Fiction
Our take
In Enlightenment, a friendship between two kindred spirits stretches across decades, carrying with it questions of faith, love, longing, and the pull of lives half-lived. As Thomas becomes consumed by a mystery tied to a vanished astronomer and Grace leaves their small Essex town behind, their paths drift apart and back toward each other in a novel layered with hidden histories, intellectual tension, and emotional ache. It’s literary fiction for readers who want big ideas with real feeling.

About the book
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, Telegraph, Washington Post, The New Yorker. LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE.
“Like A.S. Byatt’s Possession, Enlightenment is a baroque, genre-bending novel of ideas, ghosts and hidden histories. A richly layered epic....a heartfelt paean to the consolations of the sublime, where religion and science meet." — Telegraph
"Read it, then read it again. This is a book full of unexpected wonders." — Literary Review
From the author of The Essex Serpent, a dazzling and character-driven novel of love and astronomy told over the course of twenty years through the lives of two improbable best friends.
Thomas Hart and Grace Macaulay have lived all their lives in the small Essex town of Aldleigh. Though separated in age by three decades, the pair are kindred spirits—torn between their commitment to religion and their desire to explore the world beyond their small Baptist community.
It is two romantic relationships that will rend their friendship, and in the wake of this rupture, Thomas develops an obsession with a historical mystery surrounding a vanished nineteenth-century astronomer said to haunt a nearby manor, and Grace flees Aldleigh entirely for London. Over the course of twenty years, by coincidence and design, Thomas and Grace will find their lives brought back into orbit as the mystery of the vanished astronomer unfolds into a devastating literary fiction tale of love and scientific pursuit. Thomas and Grace will ask themselves what it means to love and be loved, what is fixed and what is mutable, how much of our fate is predestined and written in the stars, and whether they can find their way back to each other.
A thrillingly ambitious philosophical novel of friendship, faith, and unrequited love, rich in symmetry and symbolism, Enlightenment is a shimmering wonder of a book and Sarah Perry’s finest work to date.

About the book
“A fascinating thriller… Linden does a masterly job of integrating intriguing speculative science into a page-turning plot.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
The deeper she digs, the more people want her buried.
Anthropologist Claire Knowland is about to stumble upon a discovery that will rewrite human history. What begins as a routine excavation erupts into a high-stakes game of survival when her team unearths evidence of an ancient intelligence that defies everything we believed about evolution.
But some truths are too dangerous to uncover. As corrupt officials and ruthless oligarchs close in, Claire finds an unlikely ally in geologist Sergei Anachev, who harbors a secret of his own. Together, they race against time to protect a discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of human consciousness—or get them both killed.
From the celebrated author of groundbreaking works in science comes a pulse-pounding thriller that blends cutting-edge science with international intrigue. Deep Past takes readers on a journey where ambition collides with the powers that be, and the biggest scientific discovery of our time might be lost to the depths of history... again.
Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and James Rollins, this hard sci-fi thriller explores the tantalizing possibility that human intelligence might not be as unique as we thought—and the lengths some will go to keep that secret buried.
"An immersive tale that is both intellectually enlivening and genuinely entertaining." —Kirkus Reviews

About the book
The acclaimed actor's shockingly prescient science fiction novel "presents a near-future United States torn apart by civil war and deep racial strife" (Tampa Bay Times).
In 2012, the first African American president is assassinated by a white extremist—just four days after he is elected. The horrific tragedy leads to riots, financial collapse, and ultimately, a full-on civil war. In its aftermath, millions are left homeless as famine and disease spread throughout the country.
But from Chicago, a mysterious voice cries out . . .
To Leon Crane, a former NASA scientist now struggling to survive on the streets, the pleas he hears remind him of the wife he could not save—and offer him a chance at redemption.
To Jacob Fire Cloud, a revered Lakota medicine man, the voice is a sign that the White Buffalo Woman has returned to unite all the races in peace and prosperity.
And to little Amy Ladue, the cries are those of her mother, who disappeared during the devastating St. Louis earthquake—and who must still be alive.
These three strangers will be drawn together to rescue someone they have never met, a woman who holds the key to a new future for humanity—one remarkably brimming with hope.
"LeVar Burton brings a strong new voice to science fiction with this powerful, even disturbing, novel." —Ben Bova, New York Times–bestselling author
"An amazingly good first novel." —Rocky Mountain News
"I highly recommend this book!" —Whoopi Goldberg

About the book
2013 winner FF&P's Prism Award for Published Authors—Best First Book
Deep within the primeval forests of southern England, a race of beautiful, savage shape-shifters lives hidden from the everyday world. Bound together by ancient bloodlines and a ruthless code of secrecy that punishes traitors with death, the Ikati send their leader Leander on a mission to capture one raised outside the tribe before she can expose their secret. When Leander tracks the unsuspecting outsider to Southern California, the hardened warrior is prepared for a fight—but not for the effect the sensual young beauty has on his heart.
Jenna spent her childhood in hiding, on the run from someone—or something—her parents refused to discuss. She trusts no one, not since her father’s mysterious disappearance, not since her mother’s sudden death, and definitely not since she began exhibiting strange, superhuman abilities. When handsome, enigmatic Leander appears, promising answers to the mysteries that shroud her past, she knows she shouldn’t trust him either. But their connection is undeniable, and as powerful as the enemy hell-bent on destroying every one of their kind…

About the book
SOME TRUTHS ONLY REVEAL THEMSELVES WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE FALLS APART.
Tessa Williams is doing everything right—at least on the surface. At twenty-five, she’s an American medical student, fulfilling her father’s dreams, completing a clinical rotation in Botswana, Africa. But beneath her polished exterior, she’s unraveling—haunted by an abusive relationship, burdened by expectations, and increasingly unsure of what she wants for herself.
A weekend escape to a remote safari lodge—and an unexpected connection with Corey Diallo, her South African guide with grief of his own—changes everything. What begins as a chance encounter becomes something deeper, forcing them both to confront the pain they’ve buried…and the lives they’ve been told to want.
Spanning twelve years and two continents, Things That Break Us is a sweeping, emotional women's fiction debut about the invisible wounds we all carry, the expectations that shape us, and the moments that define who we become.
It’s a novel that asks: How do we let go of others’ expectations to build the life we truly want? Not the one others planned for us. Not the one that looks good. But the one uniquely, wildly, and solely ours.
Because, sometimes…it takes being far from home to finally come home to yourself.
