About the book
This chilling small-town horror novel from bestselling author Ania Ahlborn—hailed as a writer of “some of the most promising horror I’ve encountered in years” (New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire)—follows a young boy who searches for his missing cousin and uncovers a connection to earlier disappearances the town would rather forget.
When young Jude Brighton goes missing in the quiet town of Deer Valley, Oregon, panic spreads quickly. After three days with no sign of him, hope begins to fade—especially for Stevie Clark, Jude’s cousin and closest friend. Stevie knows the odds, and he knows that time is running out.
But Jude isn’t the first boy to vanish. Years earlier, another child disappeared under eerily similar circumstances and was later found dead. Pets have gone missing too. For decades, whispers of violence have haunted Deer Valley, lingering just beneath the surface.
Determined to uncover the truth, Stevie begins investigating Jude’s disappearance himself, only to uncover a horrifying secret the town has worked hard to forget. As fear resurfaces and long-buried crimes come back into the light, Stevie realizes that the truth may be far more terrifying than he ever imagined.
Dark, unsettling, and emotionally devastating, this psychological horror novel blends suspense, grief, and creeping dread into a relentless exploration of what happens when evil is allowed to fester unchecked.

About the book
A haunted thief-girl. A vengeful sorcerer. If she fails, she dies.
Karan, a sensitive whose family is cursed by madness, is compelled by honour to steal an ancient magical device and take it to the Magister. But it’s the treacherous Mirror of Aachan, and hidden within it is a deadly secret.
Llian, a brilliant but naïve Tale-spinner, uncovers a 3,000-year-old mystery too dangerous to be revealed and is expelled from his college.
Thrown together by fate as they struggle to get to safety, Karan and Llian are ensnared in the machinations of immortals, the vengeance of feuding warlords and the magic of all-powerful wizards. Magic that could break Karan’s fragile mind, and corrupt Llian as he pries into the riddles of the mirror.
And if they fail the two-faced mirror will spark a millennial war, terrible as a tsunami, that will deluge the land in forbidden magic, tear nations apart, and threaten the very survival of humanity.

Kihrin grew up as a thief in the slums, not a prince waiting for destiny to come knocking.
The Ruin of Kings
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Kihrin grew up as a thief in the slums, not a prince waiting for destiny to come knocking. But when he is claimed as the lost son of a treasonous royal line, he is thrown into a world of power plays, dangerous secrets, and truths far uglier than the stories ever promised. The Ruin of Kings delivers dragons, demons, gods, and prophecy with a sharp twist: this is not the tale of a hero meant to save the world. It is the story of the one who might destroy it.

"Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
When destiny calls, there's no fighting back.
Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions.
Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins.
Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world.
He's destined to destroy it.

A brutal murder in a quiet village exposes something the empire thought was long buried: sorcery is back.
Quill
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A brutal murder in a quiet village exposes something the empire thought was long buried: sorcery is back. In Quill, Duke Oliver Wellesley is dragged into an investigation that spirals far beyond a single crime, while Samantha, an apprentice trained for a battle no one believes is coming, faces a dark power the world has tried to forget. With occult secrets, human sacrifice, and an empire rotting from within, this fantasy opener leans dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The fate of empire is to crumble from within.
A heinous murder in a small village reveals a terrible truth. Sorcery, once thought dead in Enhover, is not. Evidence of an occult ritual and human sacrifice proves that dark power has been called upon again. Twisting threads of clues lead across the known world to the end of a vast empire, and then, the trail returns home.
Duke Oliver Wellesley, son of the king, cartographer, and adventurer, has better things to do than investigate a murder in a sleepy fishing hamlet. For Crown and Company, though, he goes where he’s told. As the investigation leads to deeper and darker places, he’ll be forced to confront the horrific spectres rising from the shadows of his past. When faced with the truth, will he sacrifice what is necessary to survive?
Samantha serves a Church that claims to no longer need her skills. She’s apprenticed to a priest-assassin that no one knows. Driven by a mad prophecy, her mentor has prepared her for a battle with ultimate darkness, except, sorcery is dead. When all is at stake, can she call upon an arcane craft the rest of the world has forgotten?
AC Cobble, the author of the fan-favorite Benjamin Ashwood series, crafts worlds of stunning-depth and breath-taking adventure. In Quill: The Cartographer Book 1, a pair of unlikely investigators walk a deadly path into the past, uncovering secrets best left alone. For fans of Benjamin Ashwood, be warned this series is both darker and sexier than Ben's tale.
The fate of empire is to crumble from within. Do not ask when, ask who.

About the book
“A splendid fantasy work, full of RJ’s trademark invention." —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author
Our lands are wild with gods. Our woods are wild with monsters...

Udinny serves the goddess of the lost, a keeper of the small and helpless. When Udinny needs to venture into the Wyrdwood to find a missing child, she asks Cahan to be her guide.
But in a land where land is won and lost for uncaring gods, where the forest is full of monsters, Cahan will need to choose between his past life and the one leads now—and his choice will have consequences for his entire world.

What begins as the story of a woman terrorized by a violent stalker becomes something even more unnerving once the truth starts to surface.
The Pursued
Biographies & Memoirs · True Crime
Our take
What begins as the story of a woman terrorized by a violent stalker becomes something even more unnerving once the truth starts to surface. The Pursued follows Ruth Finley’s years-long ordeal with threatening letters, escalating attacks, and a case that kept police chasing the wrong answers. More than a true-crime account, it digs into fear, deception, and the devastating fallout of a reality far stranger and darker than anyone expected.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The terrifying true story of a woman at war with a violent stalker who eluded the police for years—until they found the truth in the last place anyone would have dared to look.
From 1977 to 1981, Ruth Finley, an ordinary wife and mother from Kansas, was tormented by an elusive maniac known as the Poet. The police, already on edge from BTK’s reign of terror, spent years searching for the stalker. Meanwhile, his cryptic letters in rhymed verse grew more disturbing and violent, spilling into deeds like stabbing and kidnapping.
In this propulsive nonfiction account, as Ruth is surveilled from all sides, her nightmare takes a chilling turn: The stalker is no stranger at all. It’s someone the police have been close to for years, someone nearer to home than Ruth dared to admit. The revelation recasts what seemed like a cruel twist of fate as something far more disturbing.
The Pursued is not just a gripping true-crime story. It’s also a darkly textured portrait of the deceptions that drive us and the explosive reckonings that occur when they finally tumble down.

Emma’s life already seems perfectly arranged until she discovers an old book that can make anything she writes come true.
The Forgotten Book
Romance · Teen + Young Adult
Our take
Emma’s life already seems perfectly arranged until she discovers an old book that can make anything she writes come true. The Forgotten Book turns a boarding school story into a magical, fast-moving mystery as Emma realizes the book’s power comes with real danger and that someone else wants it badly enough to destroy her for it. Add an unlikely alliance with an irritatingly handsome boy, and this one delivers charm, secrets, and rising stakes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Emma is used to things going her way. Her father is headmaster of her prestigious boarding school, her friends take her advice as gospel, and she's convinced that a relationship with her long-time crush is on the horizon.
As it turns out, Emma hasn't seen anything yet. When she finds an old book in an abandoned library, things really start going Emma's way: anything she writes in the book comes true.
But the power of the book is not without consequences, and Emma soon realizes that she isn't the only one who knows about it. Someone is determined to take it from her—and they'll stop at nothing to succeed.
A new boy in school—the arrogant, aloof, and irritatingly handsome Darcy de Winter—becomes Emma's unlikely ally as secrets are revealed and danger creeps ever closer.

When plague reaches an isolated English village in 1666, a housemaid becomes an unlikely witness to fear, grief, and the unraveling of her community.
Year of Wonders
Historical Fiction
Our take
When plague reaches an isolated English village in 1666, a housemaid becomes an unlikely witness to fear, grief, and the unraveling of her community. Year of Wonders blends historical detail with emotional weight as Anna Frith navigates loss, superstition, sacrifice, and the pressure of survival in a village cut off from the world. It is a sweeping, intimate story about what disaster reveals in people, for better and for much worse.

About the book
“Plague stories remind us that we cannot manage without community . . . Year of Wonders is a testament to that very notion.” – The Washington Post
An unforgettable tale, set in 17th century England, of a village that quarantines itself to arrest the spread of the plague, from the author The Secret Chord and of March, winner of the Pulitzer Prize
When an infected bolt of cloth carries plague from London to an isolated village, a housemaid named Anna Frith emerges as an unlikely heroine and healer. Through Anna's eyes we follow the story of the fateful year of 1666, as she and her fellow villagers confront the spread of disease and superstition. As death reaches into every household and villagers turn from prayers to murderous witch-hunting, Anna must find the strength to confront the disintegration of her community and the lure of illicit love. As she struggles to survive and grow, a year of catastrophe becomes instead annus mirabilis, a "year of wonders."
Inspired by the true story of Eyam, a village in the rugged hill country of England, Year of Wonders is a richly detailed evocation of a singular moment in history. Written with stunning emotional intelligence and introducing "an inspiring heroine" (The Wall Street Journal), Brooks blends love and learning, loss and renewal into a spellbinding and unforgettable read.
