About the book
"A stunningly atmospheric fantasy that doubles as an exceptional character study . . . we can't wait to see where Dabos takes it next." —Entertainment Weekly ("The 10 Best YA Books of 2018")
One of Publishers Weekly's Best YA Books of the Year
A National Indie Bestseller
Lose yourself in the fantastic world of the arks and in the company of unforgettable characters in this French runaway hit, Christelle Dabos' The Mirror Visitor quartet.
Plain-spoken, headstrong Ophelia cares little about appearances. Her ability to read the past of objects is unmatched in all of Anima and, what's more, she possesses the ability to travel through mirrors, a skill passed down to her from previous generations. Her idyllic life is disrupted, however, when she is promised in marriage to Thorn, a taciturn and influential member of a distant clan. Ophelia must leave all she knows behind and follow her fiancé to Citaceleste, the capital of a cold, icy ark known as the Pole, where danger lurks around every corner and nobody can be trusted. There, in the presence of her inscrutable future husband, Ophelia slowly realizes that she is a pawn in a political game that will have far-reaching ramifications not only for her but for her entire world.
The World of the Arks
Long ago, following a cataclysm called the Rupture, the world was shattered into many floating celestial islands, now known as arks. Over each, the spirit of an omnipotent and immortal ancestor abides. The inhabitants of these arks each possess a unique power. Ophelia, with her ability to read the pasts of objects, must navigate this fantastic, disjointed, perilous world using her trademark tenacity and quiet strength.

About the book
Would you risk everything to escape the office cubicle?
Claude is a restless pichu monkey trapped in a rain-soaked rainforest where curiosity is forbidden, boredom is enforced, and the dictatorship’s minions chant a single law: No Monkey Business.
By day, he works beneath the canopy.
By night, he dreams of escaping it.
So, when he’s offered a chance to assist with (secret) state inspections, it feels like a promotion. A way out. Instead, it leads him to the 👁 of the Toucan and a world beyond the rules, where he uncovers a forbidden truth.
In Tierra Libre, thinking outside the box isn’t encouraged. It’s punished.
The Monkey State explores what happens when work becomes oppression and imagination becomes crime. Ideal for readers of 1984, Watership Down, and Planet of the Apes, with the modern workplace tension of Severance and slow-brewing rebellion notes of Andor.
There is no world beyond the mist.
Believing that keeps you safe.
Questioning it can get you killed.
It may be a little late for Claude Talador…

About the book
Looking out over the twinkling city lights of Florence, Claire thinks of the letter that has brought her here. Written by a woman who escaped the Blitz, it holds a secret kept for a lifetime… but can Claire make the woman’s dying wish come true?
Claire arrives at her new job as researcher at a grand English country house, nursing a broken heart. But tucked into the back of a long-forgotten drawer she finds a letter written in an elegant hand. It tells of a wartime secret about the beautiful Lady Violet – whose passionate affair with an Italian prisoner of war scandalised the village and ended in tragedy.
Captivated, Claire promises to find Violet’s daughter, Tabitha, and reunite her with a priceless piece of her mother’s jewellery. With only the name of an Italian bakery, Pasticceria Mancini, to guide her, and the help of her handsome neighbour Jim, Claire travels to Tabitha’s last known location – Florence.
Winding through the colourful streets, the sun warm on her bare shoulders, a tantalising scent of freshly baked bread floats on the air and Claire’s heart leaps at the sight of an ageing bakery sign: Mancini. Although she learns that Tabitha hasn’t been there for many years, Claire refuses to give up. And as she and Jim talk late into the night over glasses of local chianti, Claire looks into his piercing blue eyes and finds herself growing closer to him…
But when they finally track Tabitha down, it isn’t the happy reunion she expected and Claire is left reeling in the wake of discovering a devastating family secret.
Violet’s story has an ending – but will the truth lead to forgiveness, or will it only bring more pain? And will Claire be forced to walk away from a chance of happiness with Jim at last?
Escape to Italy in this gorgeous story of past and present colliding. Readers of Lucinda Riley and Fiona Valpy will be utterly enchanted by this sweeping, romantic page-turner.

About the book
The influential masterpiece of one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant—and neglected—science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called “the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced.”—now in development as a miniseries directed by Johan Renck.
“[Wyndham] avoids easy allegories and instead questions the relative values of the civilisation that has been lost, the literally blind terror of humanity in the face of dominant nature. . . . Frightening and powerful, Wyndham’s vision remains an important allegory and a gripping story.”—The Guardian
What if a meteor shower left most of the world blind—and humanity at the mercy of mysterious carnivorous plants?
Bill Masen undergoes eye surgery and awakes the next morning in his hospital bed to find civilization collapsing. Wandering the city, he quickly realizes that surviving in this strange new world requires evading strangers and the seven-foot-tall plants known as triffids—plants that can walk and can kill a man with one quick lash of their poisonous stingers.

About the book
'Funny, daring, and romantic, you’ll always have a good time with Kate Johnson' Sarah Rees Brennan, author of Long Live Evil
‘What’s so funny?’ she snapped.
He wanted to brush away that sweaty hair from her nape and kiss her there. His fingers remembered the heat and silk of her skin when he’d unfastened her dress. The scent of her, warm and rich, still lived in his mind. He wanted to lick the salt from her skin.
Remember you can’t have her. ‘Nothing,’ he said. ‘At all.’ He stood and extended his hand. ‘Your vessel awaits.’
In a world without magic, only the cunning survive…
In a realm where magic has vanished and a kingdom teeters on the brink, Ember Hart, a master thief with a hidden past, is thrust into a strange new world and a destiny she never sought. Anointed as ‘the Promised One’, she is bound by a twisted prophecy into an unholy union with the kingdom’s beastly prince. Rumours of his brutality haunt the palace halls.
But Ember is no sacrificial lamb.
Forming a precarious alliance with the dangerous Rhaell, Captain of the Guard, Ember seizes the chance to return home by helping to restore the kingdom’s lost magic. In this land of danger and desire, can she reclaim her freedom or, with every barb and bated breath, will her growing awareness of Rhaell risk everything she yearns for?

About the book
She wants Paris. He wants her. But someone else wants to rule Rosemary Mountain, and will stop at nothing to take it…
All Janet Sullivan has to do is get through her daughter’s wedding without falling apart. Then she can break the news that she’s moving overseas—permanently—for a fresh start of her own. But when someone threatens them all, Janet is forced to spend the week with the one person she wants most to avoid—Greg Morrison, the only man who could tempt her to change her plans.
Sheriff Greg Morrison has a town to protect, and the last thing he needs is to babysit a woman who already let him know her future plans would never include him. But when the threats turn deadly, he’ll make it his mission to protect her—and try to convince her to stay at the same time.
Author Note: Mountain Shadows is a small-town romantic suspense novel with fade-to-black heat. Each book in the Rosemary Mountain Romantic Suspense series is a standalone novel featuring a different couple. This series is great for readers who love small towns, found family, protective heroes, sizzling banter, steamy kisses, and fade-to-black romance that is never explicit.

About the book
After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown--and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories, and the ghosts of old pain are very much alive in Wahredua. Hazard’s new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset’s role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard’s first boyfriend.
When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely. But as the city’s only gay police officer, Hazard is placed at the center of a growing battle between powerful political forces. To his surprise, Hazard finds an unlikely ally in his partner, the former bully. And as they spend more time together, something starts to happen between them, something that Hazard can’t--and doesn’t want--to explain.
The discovery of a second mutilated corpse, though, reveals clues that the two murders are linked, and as Hazard gets closer to answers, he uncovers a conspiracy of murder and betrayal that goes deeper--and closer to home--than he could ever expect.
