About the book
Talia never asked for destiny, but it found her anyway.
When the mystical Companion Rolan chooses her, Talia goes from unwanted village girl to trainee Herald of Valdemar. Her days of dreaming about adventures are replaced with rigorous training, court politics, and a psychic bond with a sentient, horse-like creature who clearly knows more than he’s letting on.
But even as Talia begins to master her gifts, shadows creep through the kingdom. Treason stirs in quiet corners. Assassins lurk behind polished smiles. And the Queen’s heir—just a child—is in grave danger.
Now, Talia must navigate a web of magical conspiracies and deadly secrets with only her instincts and a few half-formed psychic abilities. One wrong move could cost the kingdom everything.
Can one runaway girl become the realm’s only hope?

About the book
Magic comes with knots. That’s what Anna’s Aunt always said. It tangles. It twists. And if you’re not careful, it destroys.
Anna has spent her life waiting for the day her magic will be bound, locked away for good. But when she meets Effie and Attis, everything unravels. They show her a secret London—where spells lace the air, memories are sold in shops, and books are guarded by creatures who feed on words.
Drawn deeper into this world of forbidden magic and seductive rebellion, Anna must decide whether to embrace the power she was taught to fear, or bind it forever.
But magic doesn’t let go easily. And in the shadows of London, every spell has a price.

About the book
Quentin Coldwater has spent his life chasing a feeling, a longing for a magical world like the one in his favorite childhood books. But when he’s accepted into Brakebills, an elite college of magic, reality proves darker and far messier than fiction ever warned.
At Brakebills, magic isn’t whimsical. It’s dangerous, addictive, and painfully real. And when Quentin discovers that Fillory—the mythical land he loved as a child—is real too, the escape he dreamed of becomes a battle for survival.
Lev Grossman’s The Magicians turns the coming-of-age fantasy inside out. It’s sharp, disillusioned, and hauntingly honest about what happens when the dream you chased your whole life finally catches you.
Some stories promised wonder. This one delivers reality, raw, unpredictable, and impossible to put down.

About the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Night Circus, a timeless love story set in a secret underground world—a place of pirates, painters, lovers, liars, and ships that sail upon a starless sea.
Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a mysterious book hidden in the stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood.
Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues—a bee, a key, and a sword—that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to an ancient library hidden far below the surface of the earth. What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians—it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also of those who are intent on its destruction.
Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome, barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose—in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
