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.

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!
Indevan-Dal is the second son of the Prince and Princess of Choraed Elgaer, destined to become his elder brother Tanrid'’ Shield Arm—his military champion. Like all second sons, he is to be privately trained at home by Tanrid, the brother whose lands he will one day protect.
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 one person who can help her is the dangerously attractive rebel who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
The fate Adrian has fought to escape is here—but he never expected the burning need he feels for Ivy. With destiny on one side and desire on the other, Adrian must help Ivy search for the powerful relic that can save her sister. Yet he knows what Ivy doesn't: the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could destroy the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side, Adrian on the other, and nothing but ashes in between . . .

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.

Basso has built a reputation on brilliance, nerve, and the kind of ruthlessness people tend to admire when it is making them rich.
Folding Knife
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Basso has built a reputation on brilliance, nerve, and the kind of ruthlessness people tend to admire when it is making them rich. In Folding Knife, K. J. Parker gives us a statesman whose greatest talent may be turning power into a performance, right up until one mistake starts threatening everything he built. This is political fantasy without the usual ornament, sharp with strategy, ambition, and the slow, awful realization that being the smartest man in the room does not make you untouchable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A new stand-alone novel from the acclaimed author of the Engineer Trilogy and The Company.
Basso the Magnificent. Basso the Great. Basso the Wise. The First Citizen of the Vesani Republic is an extraordinary man.
He is ruthless, cunning, and above all, lucky. He brings wealth, power and prestige to his people. But with power comes unwanted attention, and Basso must defend his nation and himself from threats foreign and domestic. In a lifetime of crucial decisions, he's only ever made one mistake.
One mistake, though, can be enough.

Our take
A marriage built on blackmail becomes more dangerous when hatred gives way to a bond neither of them can control.

About the book
A princess’s forced marriage to a dangerously seductive prince becomes a life-and-death alliance in an exhilarating adventure by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of A Tribute of Fire.
Lia is always prepared for battle, but being blackmailed into marriage by Prince Alexandros is a challenge too far. She has no choice. He’s holding her sister hostage to force her hand. But with this union built on betrayal and rage comes a contract. By the goddess’s law, the marriage must not be consummated. A relief to Lia. She’d rather commit regicide than fall into bed with a man she loathes.
There is one other saving grace. Marriage gives Lia access to the palace and a chance to uncover the truth about the treasured eye of the goddess—and the magic it holds. But something inexplicable and impossible to ignore soon binds Lia and the prince. By night they walk in each other’s dreams, and by day they share each other’s pain.
As longing and trust grow between Lia and Alexandros and inhibited desires are set free, outside forces rise against them, posing an ever-present danger. Not only to the throne but to their very lives.

About the book
Conn Iggulden called it 'a masterpiece' while The Times hailed it 'a gorgeous, rich retelling of the Arthurian tale' . . .
In Britain, Rome's legions are but a distant memory.
And Uther Pendragon is dying.
Enemies stalk the land.
Into this uncertain world a boy is cast - an outsider, plagued by memories of those he's lost.
Under the watchful eye of Merlin, the boy begins his journey to manhood. He meets another outcast, Guinevere - wild, proud and beautiful. And he is dazzled by Arthur - a warrior who carries the hopes of the people like a flaming torch in the dark.
But these are treacherous times, and the fate of Britain rests on a sword's edge. This young man becomes a lord of war: loved, hated, admired and feared. He is a man forsaken but not forgotten.
He is Lancelot.
Set in a 5th century Britain besieged by invading bands of Saxons and Franks, Irish and Picts, Giles Kristian's epic novel tells - in Lancelot's own words - the story of the most revered yet reviled of all Arthur's knights, the warrior who fought at his lord's side - yet stole his wife. It's is the story of one of the great figures of British myth and legend - a story ready to be re-imagined for our times.

Orcs flips the usual fantasy script and puts the so-called monsters front and center.
Orcs
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Orcs flips the usual fantasy script and puts the so-called monsters front and center. Instead of noble heroes in polished armor, this story follows a brutal, battle-worn warband of orcs forced through a world of bloodshed, betrayal, and human treachery. Fast-moving, darkly funny, and packed with combat, it turns familiar fantasy expectations inside out and makes the bad guys a whole lot more interesting.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Fantasy's bad guys finally get their due in the first book of this action packed tale of Orc valor and human treachery.
"Look at me. Look at the Orc.
There is fear and hatred in your eyes. To you I am a monster, a skulker in the shadows, a fiend to scare your children with. A creature to be hunted down and slaughtered like a beast in the fields.
It is time you pay heed to the beast. And see the beast in yourself. I have your fear. But I have earned your respect.
Hear my story. Feel the flow of blood and be thankful. Thankful that it was me, not you, who bore the sword. Thankful to the orcs; born to fight, destined to win peace for all."
This book will change the way you feel about Orcs forever.
"Weirdly charming, fast-moving, and freaky . . . the most fun you're likely to have with a warband of orcs." —New York Times–bestselling author Tad Williams
"Wall-to-wall action with undercurrents of dark humor. . . . The heroes are orcs—though you wouldn't want to meet any of them on a dark night." —International bestselling author David Gemmell
"A strange tale of magic, fantastic creatures, and mythical elder races that warps your expectations." —SF Site

Warborn
LitRPG · Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Thorn was finally supposed to be climbing the tower, not getting dragged into another world-shaking war against enemies who seem just as good at breaking the rules as he is. In Warborn, dragons, devil legions, and a madman bent on ending existence all collide as Thorn is thrown into the Abyssal Lands and forced to gather every ally he can to stop total collapse. Big battles, high stakes, and the kind of epic chaos LitRPG fans show up for.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Thorn was all set to finally climb the tower, only to stumble upon a mysterious new enemy who appears to break the rules as easily as he does.
There is no question that the Harald of Terminus, a madman bent on ending all existence, must be stopped, but Thorn’s first order of business is dealing with a furious dragon emperor leading his mind-controlled minions to war.
Cast into the Abyssal Lands by the Harald’s manipulations, Thorn stumbles upon a plot of terrifying proportions that could shake the foundation of the Endless Worlds, forever cementing the Dragon Emperor's rule. Worse, the Devil Legions and the Dragon Empire have joined forces to wage war and Thorn is going to need every ounce of his strength to stop them. Forging new alliances and calling on old allies for help, Thorn takes the fight to his enemies, hoping to disrupt them before the Endless Worlds are drowned in the tide of war.
Warborn is the ninth book in the Tower Series, a GameLit/LitRPG series from Seth Ring, bestselling author of Battle Mage Farmer and The Titan series, set in the world of Nova Terra and starring the unforgettable Thorn.
If you like immersive storytelling, rich fantasy, and epic adventures with a slice of friendship thrown in, you’ll love this page-turning series.

Vexing Vampires
Thriller · Suspense · Urban Fantasy
Our take
A vampire attack at a Detroit festival is bad enough, but things get messier fast when Luna Thorn learns the bloodsuckers are carrying an ancient disease that should not even exist anymore. Vexing Vampires throws her into a chaos of infected victims, suspicious cures, resurfacing memories, and one deeply unwelcome vampire claiming they were once passionately in love. Which sounds romantic until you remember he also seems like a walking red flag with fangs.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Luna Thorn’s past keeps coming back to bite her … and in a very uncomfortable place. Now that she can access her magic easily, her memories are on the menu.
There’s just one little problem.
A night out at a Detroit festival turns into a feeding frenzy as a nest of vampires descends and attacks. Luna manages to call for help and fight them off, but it becomes apparent soon after that the vampires were sick. And not just with any illness, but with one that was eradicated centuries before.
What’s worse, all of the people injured during the attack are now infected.
A mysterious vampire with a cure shows up claiming ties to a family friend. His name is Rafael, and he may or may not know something important. Luna barely has time to deal with that when another vampire appears. This one is full of pomp and circumstance, and he claims a past with Luna.
According to Roman Blackstone, Luna spent her missing years with him, and they were desperately, passionately, and forever in love. Luna doesn’t believe that was possible because not only is he a pompous, overblown windbag, but he’s also a creeper with a dark and bloody past.
Multiple timelines are about to collide in Detroit, and Luna won’t be the only one in danger. The people she loves are about to be threatened.
Just who will come out victorious?
