Servant of the Underworld
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
In Tenochtitlan’s sacred heart, a priestess vanishes from a chamber soaked in blood, drawing Acatl, High Priest of the Dead, into a case that entangles his estranged brother and the volatile politics of the Mexica empire. As divine forces stir, he must navigate magic, ritual, and intrigue to uncover the truth. A vividly imagined Aztec mystery praised for its rich worldbuilding.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The first book in the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy:
Year One-Knife, Tenochtitlan the capital of the Aztecs. Human sacrifice and the magic of the living blood are the only things keeping the sun in the sky and the earth fertile.
A Priestess disappears from an empty room drenched in blood. It should be a usual investigation for Acatl, High Priest of the Dead--except that his estranged brother is involved, and the the more he digs, the deeper he is drawn into the political and magical intrigues of noblemen, soldiers, and priests-and of the gods themselves...
REVIEWS
'gripping mystery steeped in blood and ancient Aztec magic. I was enthralled.' — Sean Williams

'Amid the mud and maize of the Mexica empire, Aliette de Bodard has composed a riveting story of murder, magic and sibling rivalry.' — Elizabeth Bear
'The world-building is exquisite and we *believe* we are transported to the 15th century Tenotichtlan and together with the superb voice they formed the main reason I enjoyed this book so much… Highly recommended… Ms. de Bodard is a writer to watch.' — Fantasy Book Critic

Magic is earned by venturing through the depths of Vanalf, a dangerous cave filled with monsters, and depending on how people survive, they emerge with different powers.

This could only mean one thing. The shield that has been protecting them from the fallen world is failing, and it’s only a matter of time before it breaks completely.
Hallik pairs up with three others, hoping they can find a way to restore the shield, but their path must first take them through the depths of Vanalf.

Vaelin Al Sorna once hoped to leave war behind, but a fanatical army led by the Darkblade—a man who believes himself a god—forces him back into a battle…
The Black Song
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Vaelin Al Sorna once hoped to leave war behind, but a fanatical army led by the Darkblade—a man who believes himself a god—forces him back into a battle that spans the known world. After a devastating defeat, Vaelin rises again with the return of a dangerous magic, driven by a song that demands his enemy’s blood. From acclaimed fantasy author Anthony Ryan.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A matchless warrior is pitted against a near-God in the second epic installment of the Raven’s Blade series.
It has long been our lot in life, brother, to do what others can’t.
Vaelin Al Sorna was known across the realm as the greatest of warriors, but he thought battles were behind him. He was wrong. Prophecy and rumor led him across the sea to find a woman he once loved, and drew him into a war waged by the Darkblade, a man who believes himself a god—and one who has gathered a fanatical army that threatens all of the known world.
After a costly defeat by the Darkblade, Vaelin’s forces are shattered, while the self-proclaimed immortal and his army continue their terrible march. But during the clash, Vaelin regained some of the dark magic that once gave him unrivaled skill in battle. And though the fight he has been drawn into seems near unwinnable, the song that drives him now desires the blood of his enemy above all else…

Age of Myth
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
When a human warrior strikes down a being long believed to be a god, centuries of subjugation fracture and the balance of power shifts. Raithe, a reluctant hero, joins Suri, a young seer, and Persephone, an emerging leader, as rising omens point toward rebellion and ruin. From Michael J. Sullivan, acclaimed for sweeping fantasy in the tradition of the genre’s modern masters.
Choose your retailer
About the book
One of fantasy’s finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground.
Michael J. Sullivan’s trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original five-book series.
Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever.
Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.

About the book
The unicorn girl is on a desperate hunt in the series by the New York Times–bestselling, Nebula-winning authors: "Fast-paced action . . . entertaining fare indeed." —Booklist
The homeworld that Acorna has never known was horribly scarred in the brutal attack by the cold-blooded Khleevi, but the Linyaari—the unicorn girl's gentle, spiritual race—live on. Now is the time for healing and rebuilding, for restoring the natural beauty corrupted by the savage insectile oppressors.
But Acorna's Linyaari friends and colleagues begin mysteriously disappearing soon after work gets under way, among them her beloved Aari. And her desperate search for answers will lead courageous Acorna to a shocking discovery beneath the surface of her people's world—and deep into the realms of limitless space, where the truth of the origin of everything awaits.

The city of Tark stands first in their path, and Salma and Totho join the Ant-kinden to defend a fortress already bracing for overwhelming force.

About the book
"Everything I look for in a fantasy." -- George R. R. Martin
All paths lead to war. . .
Marcus' hero days are behind him. He knows too well that even the smallest war still means somebody's death. When his men are impressed into a doomed army, staying out of a battle he wants no part of requires some unorthodox steps.
Cithrin is an orphan, ward of a banking house. Her job is to smuggle a nation's wealth across a war zone, hiding the gold from both sides. She knows the secret life of commerce like a second language, but the strategies of trade will not defend her from swords.
Geder, sole scion of a noble house, has more interest in philosophy than in swordplay. A poor excuse for a soldier, he is a pawn in these games. No one can predict what he will become.
Falling pebbles can start a landslide. A spat between the Free Cities and the Severed Throne is spiraling out of control. A new player rises from the depths of history, fanning the flames that will sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path -- the path to war.
