About the book
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

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.
Choose your retailer
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.

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.

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.

Our take
An empire racing toward progress begins to sense the approach of its own extinction.

Choose your retailer
About the book
From critically acclaimed author Richard Swan, Grave Empire begins the epic tale of an empire on the verge of industrial revolution, where sorcery and arcane practices are outlawed – and where an ancient prophecy threatens the coming end of days.
"A dazzling and immersive epic fantasy." ― Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Blood once turned the wheels of empire. Now it is money.
A new age of exploration and innovation has dawned, and the Empire of the Wolf stands to take its place as the foremost power in the known world. Glory and riches await.
But dark days are coming. A mysterious plague has broken out in the pagan kingdoms to the north, while in the south, the Empire’s proxy war in the lands of the wolfmen is weeks away from total collapse.
Worse still is the message brought to the Empress by two heretic monks, who claim to have lost contact with the spirits of the afterlife. The monks believe this is the start of an ancient prophecy heralding the end of days—the Great Silence.
It falls to Renata Rainer, a low-ranking ambassador to an enigmatic and vicious race of mermen, to seek answers from those who still practice the arcane arts. But with the road south beset by war and the Empire on the brink of supernatural catastrophe, soon there may not be a world left to save...

A dying mother sends her twelve-year-old son on a journey no child should have to take.
The Talisman
Horror · Dark Fantasy
Our take
A dying mother sends her twelve-year-old son on a journey no child should have to take. In The Talisman, Jack Sawyer crosses America and a parallel realm known as the Territories in search of a mystical object that can save her life. As he moves between worlds shadowed by violence and dark magic, this epic fantasy thriller explores courage, sacrifice, and the cost of growing up too soon.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The iconic, “extraordinary” (The Washington Post) collaboration between bestselling authors Stephen King and Peter Straub—an epic #1 New York Times bestselling fantasy thriller about a young boy’s quest to save his mother’s life.
Jack Sawyer, twelve years old, is about to begin a most fantastic journey, an exalting, terrifying quest for the mystical Talisman—the only thing that can save Jack’s dying mother. But to reach his goal, Jack must make his way not only across the breadth of the United States but also through the wondrous and menacing parallel world of the Territories.
In the Territories, Jack finds another realm, where the air is so sweet and clear a man can smell a radish being pulled from the ground a mile away—and a life can be snuffed out instantly in the continuing struggle between good and evil. Here Jack discovers “Twinners,” reflections of the people he knows on earth—most notably Queen Laura DeLoessian, the Twinner of Jack’s own imperiled mother. As Jack “flips” between worlds, making his way westward toward the redemptive Talisman, a sequence of heart-stopping encounters challenges him at every step.
An unforgettable epic of adventure and resounding triumph, The Talisman is one of the most influential and highly praised works of fantasy ever written.

Daughter of the Drowned Empire

About the book
Cleopatra meets Throne of Glass in this romantic fantasy series with forbidden romance, political intrigue, and slow burn spice.
Lady Lyriana Batavia is third in line to the Seat of Power in Bamaria: a position of wealth and privilege, but not safety. Bamaria falls under the rule of the Lumerian Empire, survivors of a celestial war whose island sank in the Drowning. Now all Lumerians submit to the Emperor and his strict laws about magic. He decides what magic can be practiced and what powers remain forbidden. He decides who will die for possession of forbidden magic.
Lyr’s own cousin was executed for wielding the wrong kind. And for years, Lyr has sworn to protect her older sisters, helping them conceal their own illicit magic.
But when Lyr must participate in the ceremony that reveals her power, she uncovers something else entirely. Something that means banishment from the Empire.
Faced with death in exile, and leaving her sisters behind, Lyr has no choice but to accept a deadly contract. She has seven months to train as a warrior and pass the Emperor’s brutal test of strength, without magic.
But when she’s forced to train with Lord Rhyan Hart, the man she’s secretly loved since she was a girl—a feared warrior in exile himself, forbidden to her in every way—she’s in danger of losing far more than her family, life, and country.
Rebel forces, and an invading army, are destabilizing Bamaria, just as her family’s secrets threaten to reveal themselves.
Surviving the training, and saving her sisters may mean sacrificing her own heart.
'One fantastical world. One fierce heroine to take it down! Daughter of the Drowned Empire is sexy, thrilling, and pure magic!' Cecy Robson, author of Bloodguard
