Vengeance becomes complicated when the enemy’s son is the one you save.
The Renegades
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Vengeance becomes complicated when the enemy’s son is the one you save. After rescuing a wounded prince from an ambush, Iiriniss must confront her hatred for the Bloodthorne dynasty that destroyed her family. As uneasy alliances form and danger tightens its grip, this YA action fantasy blends rebellion, loyalty, and shifting trust in a story driven by sisterhood and rising magic.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The king took everything from them, except their will to survive.
When Iiriniss saves a gravely wounded prince from a deadly ambush, she knows the risk. The prince is none other than Terven Bloodthorne—youngest son of the tyrant king who murdered her father, burned her home, and forced her and her sisters into hiding.
She’s vowed to destroy the Bloodthorne dynasty. Yet, she cannot let Terven die—not after the debt she owes him. And the more time she spends with the prince, the more she sees that he is nothing like his cruel father or brothers.
Iiriniss and her sisters may have found an unexpected ally, but saving Terven may have doomed them to greater danger than ever before.
Perfect for fans of characters-driven fantasy with high-stakes, this gripping tale of revenge and magic will leave you breathless.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Elyon Daecar was born to greatness — and has spent his life avoiding it.
As the second son of the First Blade, commander of the famed Varin Knights, Elyon inherited the skill, the name, and the reputation. Responsibility, however, belongs to his older brother. Elyon is content to win tourneys, drink with soldiers, and pursue a princess he absolutely should not be pursuing.
But while Elyon plays at heroism, the world is already changing.
In the northlands of Tukor, a servant girl named Saska watches her village unravel when a ruthless lord begins taking boys for a distant war. High in the mountains, a hidden order dispatches an assassin, armed with a forbidden blade and a name known across the realm.
Their lives have nothing in common.
Until they do.
As armies gather and old powers stir, Elyon is finally forced to face the life he has spent years escaping — not glory, not tourneys, but command, sacrifice, and war.
Because the day is coming when Vandar will need a hero.
And Elyon may not be ready to become one.

Our take
Time becomes a battlefield where loyalty has no fixed point.

Choose your retailer
About the book
A young man from the twentieth century is recruited to fight in a war that rages throughout time in this classic science fiction adventure from a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–winning master.
College student, ex-marine, and martial artist Malcolm Lockridge is in prison awaiting his trial for murder when he receives an unexpected visit from an extraordinarily beautiful woman named Storm. Claiming to be a representative of the Wardens, a political faction from two thousand years in the future, Storm offers the astonished young man a proposition: freedom in return for his assistance in recovering an unspecified lost treasure. But it is not long before Malcolm realizes that, in truth, he's been recruited as a soldier in the Wardens' ongoing war against their rivals, the Rangers. And this war is different from any that has ever been fought, because the battlefield is not a place but time itself.
Traveling backward and forward through corridors connecting historical epochs separated by thousands of years, Malcolm is soon embroiled in a furious conflict between the forces of good and minions of evil. But the deeper he is pulled into this devastating time war, the clearer Malcolm's ultimate role in humankind's destiny becomes, causing the troubled young soldier from the twentieth century to question whether he's been chosen to fight on the side of good or evil . . . and if such a distinction even exists.

Reason falters when confronted with the unknowable.
Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows
Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Reason falters when confronted with the unknowable. In Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows, Dr. John Watson joins forces with Sherlock Holmes to investigate baffling deaths in London’s East End, where victims waste away under the influence of something unseen. As criminal intrigue gives way to cosmic terror, deduction meets dread. A Victorian mystery infused with Lovecraftian horror and creeping existential menace.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson battle the denizens of Cthulhu in this “pitch-perfect” Lovecraft-Conan Doyle mashup from a New York Times bestselling author (Guardian).
It is the autumn of 1880, and Dr. John Watson has just returned from Afghanistan. Badly injured and desperate to forget a nightmarish expedition that left him doubting his sanity, Watson is close to destitution when he meets the extraordinary Sherlock Holmes, who is investigating a series of deaths in the Shadwell district of London.
Several bodies have been found—the victims appearing to have starved to death over the course of several weeks—and yet they were reported alive and well mere days before. Moreover, there are disturbing reports of creeping shadows that inspire dread in any who stray too close. Holmes deduces a connection between the deaths and a sinister drug lord who is seeking to expand his criminal empire.
Yet both he and Watson are soon forced to accept that there are forces at work far more powerful than they could ever have imagined. Forces that can be summoned, if one is brave—or mad—enough to dare.

Our take
Some secrets demand protection, others demand answers. In Rare Vigilance, former Marine Atlas Kinkaid takes a security job guarding Cristian Slava, the magnetic son of a powerful businessman, while chasing the truth behind the attack that left him scarred.

About the book
From the author of Prince of Air and Darkness comes the first in a thrilling new paranormal series.
Everything has a price. Especially the truth.
Former Marine Atlas Kinkaid knows not to ask questions about the clients he protects at the behest of the elite Whitethorn security agency. Just like he doesn’t like anyone asking about his scars—scars left by a mysterious attack that haunts his every waking moment.
Consumed by the need to find out what happened to him, Atlas takes a job providing security to Cristian Slava, the indolent—and gorgeous—son of a notorious businessman. Cristian seems to be just another entitled client, but when nights at the club turn into secret meetings and people start going missing, Atlas realizes there’s more to Cristian—and to protecting him—than meets the eye.
But the same people who are after Cristian have something Atlas desperately craves: they know exactly what happened the fateful night he was attacked—and are willing to tell him everything…
For a price.

About the book
An "excellent true-crime study" of a female serial killer given the death penalty for poisoning at least three men between 1973 and 1989 (Publishers Weekly).

Our take
First love feels safest when it stays hidden. In Only When It Breaks, seventeen-year-old Emmie Carter forms an anonymous text connection with popular, unpredictable Kai Banks, discovering a softer side he never shows at school.

Choose your retailer
About the book
First love. First betrayal. Some truths only surface when everything falls apart.
Seventeen-year-old Emmie Carter has always flown under the radar. Ignored by the popular crowd, overlooked by her classmates, and perfectly fine with it. That is, until she finds the lost phone of Kai Banks, the school’s golden boy with a sharp tongue and a love for partying.
When Emmie starts texting him anonymously, an unexpected connection sparks. Online, Kai is different, honest, vulnerable, almost… kind. But in real life, he’s still the boy who doesn’t even notice her. And when their parents start dating and Emmie’s quiet world crashes into his, she braces for disaster.
She doesn’t expect to fall for him.
She definitely doesn’t expect him to fall back.
And she never sees the betrayal coming.
What begins as a secret crush spirals into a cruel game, one that leaves Emmie humiliated, heartbroken, and questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. Now, with her world in pieces, she must decide who she wants to be when there's nothing left to hide behind.
A raw, emotional story of first love, painful truths, and the strength it takes to survive them.

The Eastern Front Series
Historical Fiction · War Fiction · World War 2
Our take
This five-book WWII box set throws readers onto the Eastern Front with Sergeant Rolf Kessler, a reluctant Wehrmacht soldier trying to keep his men alive through impossible missions, bad leadership, and the kind of brutality that grinds everyone down. The Eastern Front Series leans hard into gritty combat, covert operations, and survival under constant pressure, making it a strong fit for readers who want military thrillers with action, moral tension, and a bleak wartime edge.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Kessler is a reluctant fighter in Hitler’s Wehrmacht. He’d enlisted to escape the horror of his family home, where his alcoholic father beat his mother. But faced with the nightmarish reality of the Russian front, he's beginning to realise that Hitler’s promises mean nothing. Kessler’s daily reality is pointless death and endless mud.
His incompetent commanders sit miles behind the front lines, studying maps and sipping schnapps while sacrificing his men on hopeless missions.
Yet, Kessler has managed to gain the affection of his own men — they would follow him into hell — and his superiors know it.
He is put in charge of Assault Section Sledgehammer — a 15-man band of hardened soldiers directed to strike where conventional forces cannot. Their covert guerrilla operations could turn the tide on the Eastern Front and lead to Germany’s victory — or leave them all dead, deep in enemy territory.
IN THIS BOX-SET:
BOOK 1: SLEDGEHAMMER
Summer 1941. Operation Barbarossa has begun. A secret mission takes Kessler’s Assault Section Sledgehammer deep behind enemy lines to destroy a vital Soviet railhead. Their commander, the cold-blooded Captain Weiss, will sacrifice anyone to complete his mission. Kessler soon realises the deadliest threat is not the ruthless Soviet partisans, but his own command.
BOOK 2: KESSLER’S RAID
Winter 1941. A German general demands priceless artwork from behind enemy lines. Assault Section Sledgehammer is sent three hundred miles into Russian territory to retrieve it. In the blood-stained snow of the Eastern Front, Kessler will discover just how far he'll go for survival — and for revenge.
BOOK 3: CONVOY OF STEEL
Winter 1942. Kessler’s men are sent on their deadliest mission yet. They must escort an armoured train carrying eighty Tiger tanks to the German front line. The final destination is a bridge that may already be wired to explode. The icy Russian landscape turns red with blood and only one thing is certain — many who board this train will never reach the end of the line.
BOOK 4: SLAUGHTERHOUSE
1942. A disastrous night attack leaves Assault Section Sledgehammer stranded twenty-five miles behind Russian lines. Kessler faces an impossible decision — he’s discovered a massive Soviet armaments factory, but attacking it with his small unit would be suicide. He must decide whether to follow orders and return his battle-weary men to safety or risk everything to strike a devastating blow on the enemy.
BOOK 5: MEN OF BLOOD
Spring 1943. The once-mighty Wehrmacht is in full retreat. Kessler is demoted to private when he refuses to lie for a superior. He is now under the command of the inexperienced and cowardly Sergeant Schrodek. With nothing left to lose and enemies on all sides, Kessler must fight to survive the war and keep his men safe. Whatever it takes.
