Kihrin grew up as a thief in the slums, not a prince waiting for destiny to come knocking.
The Ruin of Kings
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Kihrin grew up as a thief in the slums, not a prince waiting for destiny to come knocking. But when he is claimed as the lost son of a treasonous royal line, he is thrown into a world of power plays, dangerous secrets, and truths far uglier than the stories ever promised. The Ruin of Kings delivers dragons, demons, gods, and prophecy with a sharp twist: this is not the tale of a hero meant to save the world. It is the story of the one who might destroy it.

"Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
When destiny calls, there's no fighting back.
Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions.
Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins.
Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world.
He's destined to destroy it.
Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy novel about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire.
"It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while."—The New York Times

A brutal murder in a quiet village exposes something the empire thought was long buried: sorcery is back.
Quill
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A brutal murder in a quiet village exposes something the empire thought was long buried: sorcery is back. In Quill, Duke Oliver Wellesley is dragged into an investigation that spirals far beyond a single crime, while Samantha, an apprentice trained for a battle no one believes is coming, faces a dark power the world has tried to forget. With occult secrets, human sacrifice, and an empire rotting from within, this fantasy opener leans dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.

About the book
The fate of empire is to crumble from within.
A heinous murder in a small village reveals a terrible truth. Sorcery, once thought dead in Enhover, is not. Evidence of an occult ritual and human sacrifice proves that dark power has been called upon again. Twisting threads of clues lead across the known world to the end of a vast empire, and then, the trail returns home.
Duke Oliver Wellesley, son of the king, cartographer, and adventurer, has better things to do than investigate a murder in a sleepy fishing hamlet. For Crown and Company, though, he goes where he’s told. As the investigation leads to deeper and darker places, he’ll be forced to confront the horrific spectres rising from the shadows of his past. When faced with the truth, will he sacrifice what is necessary to survive?
Samantha serves a Church that claims to no longer need her skills. She’s apprenticed to a priest-assassin that no one knows. Driven by a mad prophecy, her mentor has prepared her for a battle with ultimate darkness, except, sorcery is dead. When all is at stake, can she call upon an arcane craft the rest of the world has forgotten?
AC Cobble, the author of the fan-favorite Benjamin Ashwood series, crafts worlds of stunning-depth and breath-taking adventure. In Quill: The Cartographer Book 1, a pair of unlikely investigators walk a deadly path into the past, uncovering secrets best left alone. For fans of Benjamin Ashwood, be warned this series is both darker and sexier than Ben's tale.
The fate of empire is to crumble from within. Do not ask when, ask who.

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN INSTANT USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, has always managed to save the day—but, in this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files, can he save himself?
One year. 365 days. Twelve months.
Harry Dresden has been through a lot, and so has his city. After Harry and his allies narrowly managed to save Chicago from being razed to the ground, everything is different—and it’s not just the current lack of electricity.
In the battle, Harry lost people he cared about. And that's the kind of loss that takes a toll. Harry being Harry, he’s doing his level best to help the city and his friends recover and rebuild. But it’s a heavy load, and he needs time.
But time is one thing Harry doesn’t have. Ghouls are prowling Chicago and taking out innocent civilians. Harry’s brother is dying, and Harry doesn’t know how to help him. And last but certainly not least, the Winter Queen of the Fae has allied with the White Court of vampires—and Harry’s been betrothed to the seductive, deadly vampire Lara Raith to seal the deal.
It's been a tough year. More than ever, the city needs Harry Dresden the wizard—but after loss and grief, is there enough left of Harry Dresden the man to rise to the challenge?

About the book
Historical fantasy full of "suspense, treachery, and bone-crunching action . . . will leave fans of the genre eagerly awaiting the rest of the series" (The Times Literary Supplement).
It was a time of myth and mystery. A time when Gods walked among men. It was a time of heroes. Greece is a country in turmoil, divided by feuding kingdoms desiring wealth, power and revenge.
When Eperitus, a young exiled soldier, comes to the aid of a group of warriors in battle, little does he know that it will be the start of an incredible adventure. For he is about to join the charismatic Odysseus, Prince of Ithaca, on a vital quest to save his homeland.
Odysseus travels to Sparta to join the most famous heroes of the time in paying suit to the sensuous Helen. Armed with nothing but his wits and intelligence, he must enter a treacherous world of warfare and politics to compete for the greatest prize in Greece. But few care for the problems of an impoverished prince when war with Troy is beckoning.
An epic saga set in one of the most dramatic periods of history, King of Ithaca is a voyage of discovery of one man's journey to become a King—and a legend.
"A must read for those who enjoy good old epic battles, chilling death scenes and the extravagance of ancient Greece." —Lifestyle Magazine
"The reader does not need to be classicist to enjoy this epic and stirring tale. It makes a great novel." —Historical Novels Review

Hatred turns dangerous when revenge transforms a woman into the very monster she was raised to destroy.
A Clash of Villains
Romantasy · Dark Fantasy
Our take
Hatred turns dangerous when revenge transforms a woman into the very monster she was raised to destroy. In A Clash of Villains, she enters a brutal werewolf academy ruled by power plays, buried secrets, and an ancient threat tied to her own fate. The dark romance at its center sharpens the tension, with betrayal, transformation, and a commander as dangerous as the world around him.

About the book
When two villains collide, the world doesn’t stand a chance—but neither do their hearts.
In a world of monsters, vengeance breeds villains.
For years, I burned with hatred for the creatures who ruled our realm, mourning the devastation they brought to my family. Revenge was my only purpose—until a reckless act of heroism turned me into the very thing I despised.
Now, I’m thrust into Lycora Training Academy, where werewolves are forged and power games reign supreme. It’s a battleground of secrets and betrayals, and I’m no stranger to fighting dirty. But as I navigate this savage new world, I uncover whispers of an ancient threat—one that could shatter everything. And somehow, I’m the key to its destruction… or its awakening.
Then there’s him. The brooding, arrogant Commander whose growl could unravel me and whose motives are as dark as his smirk. He’s dangerous, maddening, and utterly irresistible. But in a place where loyalty is a weapon and trust is a death sentence, I can’t afford to let my guard down—not for him, not for anyone.
In a clash of villains, the real question isn’t who’s the hero. It’s who will strike first.
A Clash of Villains—where love, power, and betrayal collide in a tale darker than the moonlit sky.
Perfect for fans of dark romantic fantasy, werewolf mythology, sassy and strong FMCs, and a hot, growling Commander who knows how to play dirty.

A curse steals seven years from a woman who once commanded the magic of a legendary vineyard.
The Vine Witch
Romantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
A curse steals seven years from a woman who once commanded the magic of a legendary vineyard. When Elena Boureanu finally breaks free, she returns to find Château Renard under new ownership and its vines tangled in dark enchantments. In The Vine Witch, Elena must hide her identity while uncovering the magic poisoning the land, blending historical fantasy with revenge, slow trust, and the fragile restoration of power.

About the book
A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.
“Cleverly crafted…The Vine Witch is a grown-up fairy tale with a twisty-turn-y story line of magic, love, and betrayal that holds your attention…Pure escapism.” —Forbes
A young witch emerges from a curse to find her world upended in this gripping fantasy set in turn-of-the-century France.
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.
Vigneron Jean-Paul Martel naively favors science over superstition, and he certainly doesn’t endorse the locals’ belief in witches. But Elena knows a hex when she sees one, and the vineyard is covered in them. To stay on and help the vines recover, she’ll have to hide her true identity, along with her plans for revenge against whoever stole seven winters of her life. And she won’t rest until she can defy the evil powers that are still a threat to herself, Jean-Paul, and the ancient vine-witch legacy in the rolling hills of the Chanceaux Valley.
