Survival demands reinvention when an outlawed warrior clan faces extinction from both empire and the beasts stalking their land.
The Bone Raiders
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Survival demands reinvention when an outlawed warrior clan faces extinction from both empire and the beasts stalking their land. The Bone Raiders follows scout Sayana as she gambles on an impossible plan to tame giant fire-breathing lizards and turn them into the key to her people’s survival. Jackson Ford delivers an action-heavy fantasy with sharp character dynamics, found family energy, and a fierce struggle to protect a vanishing way of life.

About the book
The start of an edge-of-your-seat, action‑packed epic fantasy series from the irreverent Jackson Ford, where a wild band known as the Bone Raiders harness the power of gigantic, fire-breathing lizards to defend their homeland.
"Awesome. Masterfully executed. Frequently hilarious." — Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE . . . BUT OUR GIANT FIRE-BREATHING LIZARDS DID.
You don't f*ck with the Rakada. The people living in the grasslands of the Tapestry call them the Bone Raiders, from their charming habit of displaying the bones of those they kill on their armour. But being a raider is tough these days. There's a new Great Khan in the Tapestry. He plans to use his sizeable military to get rid of the raider clans. And then there are the huge fire-breathing lizards that are straying into the grasslands a little too often these days.
Sayana is a raider scout. She knows that to protect their way of life, she needs do something drastic. Like convincing her clan to ride those huge lizards, instead of horses. Sayana doesn't know how to do it without being eaten and/or cooked alive, but she'd better figure it out fast - or she and her clan, along with every other raider in the Tapestry, will be wiped out.
"Ford begins this new series with quirky characters, loads of great action sequences, and his trademark brand of humor." — Booklist
"The Bone Raiders is a relentlessly cheeky, ofttimes unserious, and undisputedly rip-roaring bit of fantasy that can only be written by Jackson Ford. Badass female protagonists, found family, and giant lizards — what more do you need? Add this one to your TBR. I fully guarantee you'll be entertained." — FanFiAddict

About the book
Where lies are currency, the price of truth is blood.
Brida Larrow has no right to be among the Fae Courts, but she’s willing to risk everything to save her dying father. Armed with a forged invitation and a fierce determination, she enters the treacherous Fae Trials, a contest crafted to break even the strongest Fae. One misstep, and the truth of her identity could be her undoing—and cost her the cure she so desperately needs.
With enemies around every corner, Brida must rely on her wits and cunning to survive. But when Dainan, the enigmatic Prince of Shadows, takes notice of her, the stakes grow even higher. Betrothed to her most dangerous rival and a master of secrets himself, Dainan sees through her every deception. His dark allure stirs something within her, sparking a forbidden attraction that could either ruin her or become her greatest weapon.
Caught in a web of deception and desire, Brida walks a fine line between ambition and survival. In a world where alliances shift like shadows and betrayal is the currency of the Courts, she must find the strength to face not only the ruthless Trials but also the dangerous emotions Dainan awakens. One wrong move could doom her to failure—or reveal a side of herself she never knew existed.

And for young Fernanda Capel, life will never be the same again . . .

Everything Kellen believes about magic begins to fracture when forbidden books lead him beyond the rigid safety of the city he once trusted.
The Outstretched Shadow
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Everything Kellen believes about magic begins to fracture when forbidden books lead him beyond the rigid safety of the city he once trusted. In The Outstretched Shadow, a young mage uncovers buried corruption, awakens to a wilder and more dangerous power, and finds himself hunted alongside creatures he was taught to fear. This is classic epic fantasy with exile, hidden truths, ancient evil, and a wide world opening at terrible cost.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The Outstretched Shadow, the first book in The Obsidian Trilogy from Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory
Kellen Tavadon, son of the Arch-Mage Lycaelon, thought he knew the way the world worked. His father, leading the wise and benevolent Council of Mages, protected and guided the citizens of the Golden City of the Bells. Young Mages in training--all men, for women were unfit to practice magic--memorized the intricate details of High Magic and aspired to seats on the council.
Then he found the forbidden Books of Wild Magic--or did they find him? The three slim volumes woke Kellen to the wide world outside the City's isolating walls. Their Magic was not dead, strangled by rules and regulations. It felt like a living thing, guided by the hearts and minds of those who practiced it and benefited from it.
Questioning everything he has known, Kellen discovers too many of the City's dark secrets. Banished, with the Outlaw Hunt on his heels, Kellen invokes Wild Magic--and finds himself running for his life with a unicorn at his side.
Kellen's life changes almost faster than he can understand or accept. Rescued by a unicorn, healed by a female Wild Mage who knows more about Kellen than anyone outside the City should, meeting Elven royalty and Elven warriors, and plunged into a world where the magical beings he has learned about as abstract concepts are flesh and blood creatures-Kellen both revels in and fears his new freedom.
Especially once he learns about Demons. He'd always thought they were another abstract concept-a stand-in for ultimate evil. But if centaurs and dryads are real, then Demons surely are as well. And the one thing all the Mages of the City agreed on was that practicing Wild Magic corrupted a Mage. Turned him into a Demon. Would that be Kellen's fate?
Deep in Obsidian Mountain, the Demons are waiting. Since their defeat in the last great War, they've been biding their time, sowing the seeds of distrust and discontent between their human and Elven enemies. Very soon now, when the Demons rise to make war, there will be no alliance between High and Wild Magic to stand against them. And all the world will belong to the Endarkened.

Trouble follows Eli Monpress because he invites it with a grin and a plan no one sane would attempt.
The Legend of Eli Monpress
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Trouble follows Eli Monpress because he invites it with a grin and a plan no one sane would attempt. In The Legend of Eli Monpress, a charming thief and wizard sets out to raise the bounty on his own head by stealing increasingly impossible targets, including a king. This is a fast-moving fantasy with sharp banter, inventive magic, and a delightfully reckless streak.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Eli Monpress is talented. He's charming. And he's a thief.
But not just any thief. He's the greatest thief of the age - and he's also a wizard. And with the help of his partners - a swordsman with the most powerful magic sword in the world but no magical ability of his own, and a demonseed who can step through shadows and punch through walls - he's going to put his plan into effect.
The first step is to increase the size of the bounty on his head, so he'll need to steal some big things. But he'll start small for now. He'll just steal something that no one will miss - at least for a while.
Like a king.

In a world where magic feeds on human life, power carries the threat of corruption from the start.
Feast of Souls
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
In a world where magic feeds on human life, power carries the threat of corruption from the start. In Feast of Souls, a young woman’s rising abilities place her against an immortal male order while her fate binds to a dying prince and a world sliding toward war. This is high fantasy built on sacrifice, dark power, and the fear of what ambition can awaken.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Classic high fantasy gets a vampire twist in this epic trilogy set in a world of treachery and war, good and evil—and where the cost of magic is life itself.
As a young woman’s powers grow to rival those of the immortal, all-male Magisters, her fate becomes entwined with that of a sick prince . . .
At the end of her bestselling Coldfire trilogy, C.S. Friedman challenged readers to imagine what a world would be like if sorcery required the ultimate sacrifice—that of life itself. Now, in Feast of Souls, she introduces us to a terrifying world in which the cost of magic is just that . . . in which the fuel for sorcery is the very fire of the human spirit, and those who hunger for magical power must pay for it with their lives. In this epic tale of nightmarish shadows and desperate hope, the greatest threat of all may not be that of ancient enemies returned, or ancient wars resumed, but of the darkness that lies within the hearts of men.
With Feast of Souls, C.S. Friedman returns to the epic style which has made her one of the most popular fantasy writers in the genre. This first book of the Magisters trilogy plunges readers into a world of vampire-like magical powers, erotic interludes, treachery, war, sorcery—and a draconic creature of horrific power and evil.

Our take
A gifted young noble enters military training expecting honor and strategy, only to find that the most dangerous battles begin long before the war does.

About the book
“A first-rate fantasy novel” that blends military fantasy with courtly politics, vast worldbuilding, and a diverse cast of characters (Orson Scott Card, New York Times–bestselling author of Ender's Game)
The first book in the acclaimed Inda series, set within Sherwood Smith’s epic fantasy universe, Sartorias-deles!

When the King’s Voice comes to summon Inda to the Military Academy, he might well feel foreboding, or even fear—war is imminent—yet youthful Inda feels only excitement.
But there are things that Tanrid hasn’t prepared him for, and Inda will soon learn that the greatest threats to his safety will not come from foreign enemies, but from supposed allies within his own country.

A Crown of Ivy and Glass
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
In a family blessed by the gods, Gemma Ashbourne stands apart as the one daughter whose body rejects magic instead of wielding it. As blood feuds, demonic legends, and attacks on the Middlemist close in, A Crown of Ivy and Glass blends forbidden desire, court intrigue, and awakening power into a romantasy built on longing, inheritance, and the danger of becoming what others fear.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Full of high stakes and detailed fantasy worldbuilding with interesting mythology for readers." —Library Journal
New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn, Claire Legrand, makes her stunning adult debut with A Crown of Ivy and Glass, a lush, sweeping, steamy forbidden romance series starter that's perfect for fans of Bridgerton and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Lady Gemma Ashbourne seemingly has it all. She's young, gorgeous, and rich. Her family was Anointed by the gods, blessed with incredible abilities. But underneath her glittering façade, Gemma is deeply sad. Years ago, her sister Mara was taken to the Middlemist to guard against treacherous magic. Her mother abandoned the family. Her father and eldest sister, Farrin—embroiled in a deadly blood feud with the mysterious Bask family—often forget Gemma exists.
Worst of all, Gemma is the only Ashbourne to possess no magic. Instead, her body fights it like poison. Constantly ill, aching with loneliness, Gemma craves love and yearns to belong.
Then she meets the devastatingly handsome Talan d'Astier. His family destroyed themselves, seduced by a demon, and Talan, the only survivor, is determined to redeem their honor. Intrigued and enchanted, Gemma proposes a bargain: She'll help Talan navigate high society if he helps her destroy the Basks. According to popular legend, a demon called The Man With the Three-Eyed Crown is behind the families' blood feud—slay the demon, end the feud.
But attacks on the Middlemist are increasing. The plot against the Basks quickly spirals out of control. And something immense and terrifying is awakening in Gemma, drawing her inexorably toward Talan and an all-consuming passion that could destroy her—or show her the true strength of her power at last.

The Fall Of Arthur
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · High Fantasy
Our take
The Fall of Arthur brings Tolkien’s unfinished Arthurian poem to Arthur’s final campaign, as he returns to Britain to face Mordred’s betrayal while the fractures caused by Guinevere and Lancelot threaten the kingdom from within. Written in alliterative verse and paired with Christopher Tolkien’s literary analysis, this edition blends tragedy, battle, and scholarship in a work that will especially appeal to readers drawn to Arthurian legend and Tolkien’s broader literary world.

About the book
New York Times bestseller "An incomplete but highly compelling retelling . . . An action-packed, doom-haunted saga, full of vivid natural description."—New York Times Book Review
The Fall of Arthur recounts in alliterative verse the last campaign of King Arthur, who, even as he stands at the threshold of Mirkwood, is summoned back to Britain by news of the treachery of Mordred. Already weakened in spirit by Guinevere’s infidelity with the now-exiled Lancelot, Arthur must rouse his knights to battle one last time against Mordred’s rebels and foreign mercenaries. Powerful, passionate, and filled with vivid imagery, this unfinished work of epic poetry reveals Tolkien’s gift for storytelling at its brilliant best. Christopher Tolkien, editor, contributes three illuminating essays of literary analysis that explore the literary world of King Arthur, reveal the deeper meaning of the verses and the painstaking work his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, applied to bring the poem to a finished form, and investigate the intriguing links between The Fall of Arthur and Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
"Compelling in pace, haunted by loss, it lives up to expectations."—Daily Beast
"Erudite and beautiful." – NPR.org
This definitive edition presents the complete work, contextualized by deep scholarly analysis:
- Tolkien's Lost Arthurian Epic: Read the only major poetic work by J.R.R. Tolkien on the legend of King Arthur, presented here for the first time.
- A Kingdom's Tragic Fall: Follow Arthur's final campaign, from the borders of Mirkwood to a Britain betrayed by Mordred and torn apart by the infidelity of Guinevere and Lancelot.
- Deep Literary Scholarship: Explore three extensive essays by Christopher Tolkien that illuminate the poem's creation, its context in the legend, and his father's painstaking writing process.
- Links to Middle-earth: Discover the intriguing connections between The Fall of Arthur and the vast mythology of The Silmarillion, revealed by the world's foremost Tolkien expert.
