About the book
A warlord killed Caledonia's parents and kidnapped her brother. Now, on the deadly Bullet seas, Captain Caledonia Styx and her all-female crew are ready for revenge.
"This is Mad Max by way of Davy Jones, a high-energy, breathless adventure [about] a group of damaged girls who find home in one another." --Booklist
"The pace of the book is fast and relentless, and the action sequences tense and believable, but the best moments are the ones in which the female relationships shine." --NPR
"One of the most spell-binding adventures of the year. This is female piracy at its best." --The San Francisco Chronicle
"The best kind of fantasy. . . . impossible to put down." --Paste
After her family is killed by corrupt warlord Aric Athair and his bloodthirsty army of Bullets, Caledonia Styx is left to chart her own course on the dangerous and deadly seas. She captains her ship, the Mors Navis, with a crew of girls and women just like her, who have lost their families and homes because of Aric and his men. The crew has one mission: stay alive, and take down Aric's armed and armored fleet.
But when Caledonia's best friend and second-in-command barely survives an attack thanks to help from a Bullet looking to defect, Caledonia finds herself questioning whether to let him join their crew. Is this boy the key to taking down Aric Athair once and for all...or will he threaten everything the women of the Mors Navis have worked for?
The first in a heart-stopping trilogy that recalls the undeniable feminine power of Wonder Woman and the powder-keg action of Mad Max: Fury Road, Seafire reminds us of the importance of sisterhood and unity in the face of oppression and tyranny.

Our take
Violence exposes what power works hardest to hide. When a brutal murder shatters the calm of Cheyenne, Detective Kyle Dixon is forced into a partnership that tests his faith in justice itself.

About the book
The Cheyenne Police Department doesn't handle many murders. So when a woman is found mutilated and crucified, Detective Kyle Dixon catches a case where all the evidence has long since been destroyed. Any detective would find it a difficult investigation, but to make matters worse, Dixon is paired with Ethan Baudin: a new detective in the unit who doesn't believe the law should apply to those that chase monsters.
They find that the murder is connected to a rash of fraternity rapes and the case becomes highly publicized and politically charged. As Dixon and Baudin unravel the victim's life and follow it to Cheyenne's underbelly, it leads them to a rash of unexplained disappearances of young women, and to the dark tastes of the most powerful men in the city.
The case quickly begins to threaten their careers, and even their lives. Dixon and Baudin will have to decide if the backlash is worth finding out the truth, or if some deaths are better left unexplained.
Bestselling author Victor Methos has created the beginning of a new series that explores the darkness in men's souls. This isn't the typical mystery with procedures and red tape. This is about the shadows that touch all of us...

Girls vanish on a beautiful island, and the truth settles into silence rather than answers. When Marion, Zoey, and Val cross paths on Sawkill Rock, each carries grief, anger, and a sense of being watched. As an old hunger rises, their separate fears converge into resistance.

About the book
Three teen girls face off against an insidious monster that preys upon young women in this YA dark fantasy novel from a New York Times–bestselling author.
Named one of YALSA's Best Fiction Books for Young AdultsA Bram Stoker Award NomineeA Lambda Literary Award Nominee
Who are the Sawkill Girls?
Marion: The newbie. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she's sure she'll never find.
Zoey: The pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Maybe she's broken—or maybe everyone else is.
Val: The queen bee. Gorgeous and privileged, ruthless and regal. Words like silk and eyes like knives; a heart made of secrets and a mouth full of lies.
Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an cunning creature at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight . . . until now.
"Reader, hang on for dear life. Sawkill Girls is a wild, gorgeous, and rich coming-of-age story about complicity, female camaraderie, and power." —Sarah Gailey, author of Spread Me
"An eerie, atmospheric assertion of female strength." —Mindy McGinnis, author of How Girls Are Made

Four women arrive at a desert fortress carrying grief, secrets, and lives shaped by violence long before the siege begins.
The Dovekeepers
Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Psychological Fiction · Women's Fiction
Our take
Four women arrive at a desert fortress carrying grief, secrets, and lives shaped by violence long before the siege begins. As Roman forces close in on Masada, Yael, Revka, Aziza, and Shirah find their fates intertwined through survival, love, and loss. The Dovekeepers is a historical novel rooted in legend, centered on women whose inner lives endure even as history narrows around them.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An ambitious and mesmerizing historical novel from the bestselling author of Rules of Magic. The Dovekeepers is “striking….Hoffman grounds her expansive, intricately woven, and deepest new novel in biblical history, with a devotion and seriousness of purpose” (Entertainment Weekly).
Nearly two thousand years ago, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on Masada, a mountain fortress in the Judean desert. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic and iconic event, Hoffman’s novel is a spellbinding tale of four extraordinarily bold, resourceful, and sensuous women, each of whom has come to Masada by a different path. Yael’s mother died in childbirth, and her father, an expert assassin, never forgave her for that death. Revka, a village baker’s wife, watched the murder of her daughter by Roman soldiers; she brings to Masada her young grandsons, rendered mute by what they have witnessed. Aziza is a warrior’s daughter, raised as a boy, a fearless rider and expert marksman who finds passion with a fellow soldier. Shirah, born in Alexandria, is wise in the ways of ancient magic and medicine, a woman with uncanny insight and power.
The lives of these four complex and fiercely independent women intersect in the desperate days of the Roman siege of Masada. All are dovekeepers, and all are also keeping secrets—about who they are, where they come from, who fathered them, and whom they love.

A family’s magic sustains a town, but it also fixes the future of every woman born into it.
What We Sacrifice for Magic
Literary Fiction · Horror · Magical Realism · Occult Horror
Our take
A family’s magic sustains a town, but it also fixes the future of every woman born into it. In 1968 Minnesota, Elisabeth Watry-Ridder stands at the edge of adulthood, expected to inherit her grandmother’s power, her role, and her sacrifices. As long-buried truths surface, What We Sacrifice for Magic explores generational magic, inherited obligation, and the cost of choosing a life of one’s own.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Perfect for fans of Practical Magic and The Lager Queen of Minnesota: a coming-of-age novel following three generations of witches in the 1960s, this enchanting and heartwarming debut explores the importance of family and the delight and heartbreak of discovering who you truly are.
It’s 1968, and the Watry-Ridder family is feared and respected in equal measure. The local farmers seek out their water charms, and the teenagers, their love spells. The family’s charms and spells, passed down through generations of witches descending from the Black Forest, have long served the small town of Friedrich, Minnesota.
Eldest daughter Elisabeth has just graduated high school—she is expected to hone her supernatural abilities to take over for her grandmother, the indomitable Magda. She’s also expected to marry her high school sweetheart and live the rest of her life in Friedrich. But all she can ask is, why her? Why is her path set in stone, and what else might be out there for her?
She soon discovers that magic isn’t the only thing inherited in her family. That magic also comes with a great price—and a big family secret. The more she digs, the more questions she has, and the less she trusts the grandmother she thought she knew. Who is Elisabeth without her family? She must ultimately decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for her family, for their secrets and their magic, or risk it all to pave her own way.
Navigating the bittersweet tension between self-discovery and living up to familial expectations, What We Sacrifice for Magic is a touching look at coming into one’s own.

Wild Seed unfolds as a centuries-long confrontation between two immortals bound by power, desire, and control.
Wild Seed
Sci-Fi · Genetic Engineering · People of Color · Speculative Fiction
Our take
Wild Seed unfolds as a centuries-long confrontation between two immortals bound by power, desire, and control. Doro shapes humanity through ruthless breeding and domination, while Anyanwu builds communities through healing and care. When their paths collide, attraction becomes coercion and survival becomes negotiation. This novel explores immortality, consent, and legacy through an intimate struggle that reshapes generations.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the acclaimed author of the Earthseed series, two immortals chase each other across continents and centuries, binding their fates together and changing the destiny of the human race.
Doro knows no higher authority than himself. An ancient spirit with boundless powers, he possesses humans, killing without remorse as he jumps from body to body to sustain his own life. With a lonely eternity ahead of him, Doro breeds supernaturally gifted humans into empires that obey his every desire. He fears no one—until he meets Anyanwu.
Anyanwu is an entity like Doro and yet different. She can heal with a bite and transform her own body, mending injuries and reversing aging. She uses her powers to cure her neighbors and birth entire tribes, surrounding herself with kindred who both fear and respect her. No one poses a true threat to Anyanwu—until she meets Doro.
The moment Doro meets Anyanwu, he covets her; and from the villages of 17th-century Nigeria to 19th-century United States, their courtship becomes a power struggle that echoes through generations, irrevocably changing what it means to be human.

Identity slips away easily when survival becomes the only constant.
Warden
Romantasy · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Identity slips away easily when survival becomes the only constant. Warden follows Max, a woman with no memory and dangerous elemental power, as she seeks refuge among modern-day paladins sworn to protect nature. Bound by circumstance to Ryker, a fallen knight weighed down by regret, she becomes entangled in his unfinished reckoning. This paranormal fantasy romance centers lost identity, guarded devotion, and power that demands responsibility.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Alphahole. Grumpy/Sunshine. Forced Proximity. He falls first.
Max is different. She has a strange affinity with nature and powers no human should possess, let alone wield. No memory means she has no idea who – or what – she is. Creatures stalk her every step, their relentless pursuit driving her to the brink of exhaustion.
Stumbling upon a bunch of magical, modern-day knights seems too good to be true, but her instincts tell her she can trust them. Too bad their sinfully hot captain is a growly, insensitive, alphahole who insults her – and worse, rejects her – every time he opens his gorgeous mouth.
Ryker is a paladin. A knight born to protect the guardians of nature. Once, he was defined by honour, courage, and loyalty. But no more. He abandoned everything he stood for, resulting in the angry, brooding man he is today. But when a mouthy, beautiful warden shows up on his doorstep, Ryker begins to feel something he thought he never would again. Hope.
He knows if he can’t forgive himself for past mistakes, he will end up making new ones. And this time, it’s Max who will pay the price.

Fear of magic fractures a kingdom already straining under political tension.
Mystic and Rider

Our take
Fear of magic fractures a kingdom already straining under political tension. Mystic and Rider follows Senneth, a powerful mystic sent south to assess rising unrest, and Tayse, a royal Rider who distrusts everything she represents.

About the book
Gillengaria is seething with unrest, where magic is both feared and coveted, and a dangerous mission unfolds
In the south, hostility toward magic and its users has risen to a dangerous level, though King Baryn has ordered that such mystics are to be tolerated. It is whispered that he issued the decree because his new wife used her magic powers to ensnare him…
The King knows there are those in the noble Twelve Houses who could use this growing dissent to overthrow him. So he dispatches the mystic Senneth to assess the threat throughout the realm. Accompanying her is a motley band of magic-users and warriors including Tayse, first among the King’s Riders—who holds a hard view of mystics in general, and Senneth in particular.
But as the unlikely allies venture farther into the south, they will face death in a land under the sway of a fanatical cult that would purge Gillengaria of all magic users. And they will come to realize that their only hope of survival lies in standing together…

Into the Labyrinth follows a struggling magic student who expects failure so completely that success feels almost dangerous.
Into the Labyrinth
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Into the Labyrinth follows a struggling magic student who expects failure so completely that success feels almost dangerous. Hugh of Emblin can barely control his spells, has no real allies, and faces the Academy at Skyhold’s brutal first-year trial beneath the school. This is progression fantasy with academy stakes, underdog momentum, and the satisfying pull of a hero learning he may not be broken after all.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year- who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and definitely doesn't expect a mage to choose him as an apprentice at all during the upcoming Choosing.
When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years- being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.

Our take
Stories shape power, and those who understand them can bend empires. A Practical Guide to Evil follows Catherine Foundling, an orphan in a conquered kingdom who chooses to rise within the villainous system that crushed her home. Guided by ruthless pragmatism rather than idealism, she navigates prophecy, politics, and war to seize control of her own fate. This fantasy examines ambition, moral compromise, and the cost of winning.

About the book
The Empire stands triumphant.
For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this golden age threats to the empire are rising.
The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles while rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, for dreams of crowns were buried in shallow graves. The greatest danger of all lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has restored order at last: her people sundered, she ponders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign.
Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.
Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.
