Furyborn is an epic YA fantasy about two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world…or doom it.
When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and one of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed as the Blood Queen...unless the trials kill the queen first.
One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable—until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.
As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world—and of each other.

About the book
A half-mad, alcoholic Edgar Allan Poe aims to defeat an occultist's terrifying plot in this "intelligent, suspenseful" thriller set in 1840s New York (Booklist).
It is said that beneath Solomon's glorious throne, books that gave the fabled king control over life, death, and demonic power were buried. The throne has been lost for millennia, but now one man seeks to find it and harness its secrets to unleash hell upon the world. Jonathan is the most powerful psychic on earth, and in service of his god, Lucifer, he will tear civilization apart. To combat his dark designs, mankind's hopes rest on a troubled author named Edgar Allan Poe.
In the shadows of New York City, Poe drowns his talent in rotgut gin, trying to forget the death of his beloved wife. A bare-knuckle fighter named Pierce James Figg arrives with a letter of introduction from Charles Dickens, begging for Poe's help chasing down the power-mad devil worshiper. Now, writer and fighter must stand together to save humanity from a darkness beyond even Poe's tortured imagination.
This fast-paced tale of historical supernatural suspense, which Booklist hailed as "unfailingly readable and terrifically well-written," provides "one cliffhanging chapter after another" (Kirkus Reviews).

About the book
MOST ANTICIPATED by Bustle • "Sci-Fi Thriller" recommendation from Buzzfeed • An Indie Next Pick
In this stunning follow-up to Hollow Kingdom and Seattle Times/Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association bestseller, the animal kingdom's "favorite apocalyptic hero" is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic (Helen Macdonald).
Once upon an apocalypse, there lived an obscenely handsome American crow named S.T. . .
When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo.
That is, dear reader, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity's last hope for survival. But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what's a crow to do?
Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that's what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.

About the book
In her pulse-pounding psychological thriller debut, author Camden Baird lays bare the anguish and terror of a mother living out her worst nightmare when her young child goes missing.
Sadie Wilson’s heart stops the moment the phone rings. Deep in her soul, she knows what’s coming, and the voice on the other end only confirms her fears: Emma never made it to school. Her sweet, scared five-year-old climbed onto the bus for her very first day of kindergarten…and then vanished.
Struggling to push aside her grief to focus on getting her daughter back, Sadie finds herself slipping deeper into despair. The growing list of suspects weighs heavily on her mind: the secretive teacher, the registered sex offender, the delusional neighbor, the disgruntled ex-wife, the evasive principal—everyone seems to have a connection to Emma. And a surprising grudge to bear.
Thankfully Sadie’s got her loving husband, Allen, by her side. But she can’t help feeling he’s hiding something too.
Edgy and full of twists, The Last Morning is an emotional thrill ride, unfolding little by little from each suspect’s point of view.

About the book
“Fracassi’s novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love.” —Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels
"A Child Alone with Strangers starts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places." —Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters
When young Henry Thorne is kidnapped and held prisoner in a remote farmhouse surrounded by miles of forest, he finds himself connecting with a strange force living in the woods—using that bond to wreak havoc against his captors. Unknown to the boy, however, is that this ancient being has its own reasons for wanting the interlopers gone—there is something hidden beneath the house, tucked away in the dark, damp root cellar . . . waiting for its return.

The Quiet Room
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
The Quiet Room chronicles Lori Schiller’s descent into schizophrenia and her fight to survive voices, hospitalizations, and despair.

A candid, harrowing account praised by The New York Times and Publishers Weekly.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"A book of rare power, passion, and intelligence. Travel with Lori into the heart of schizophrenia, and you will never be the same." —Diane Sawyer, award-winning television news anchor
Moving, harrowing, and ultimately uplifting, Lori Schiller's memoir is a classic testimony to the ravages of mental illness and the power of perseverance and courage.
At seventeen Lori Schiller was the perfect child—the only daughter of an affluent, close-knit family. Six years later she made her first suicide attempt, then wandered the streets of New York City dressed in ragged clothes, tormenting voices crying out in her mind. Lori Schiller had entered the horrifying world of full-blown schizophrenia. She began an ordeal of hospitalizations, halfway houses, relapses, more suicide attempts, and constant, withering despair. But against all odds, she survived.
In this personal account, she tells how she did it, taking us not only into her own shattered world, but drawing on the words of the doctors who treated her and family members who suffered with her.
"Fascinating . . . undoubtedly will find a place in the cherished literature of first-person accounts of suffering and recovery." —The Washington Post Book World
"Candid . . . courageous." —San Diego Union-Tribune
"Makes frighteningly real the terror of schizophrenia." —USA Today
"[A] stunning story of courage, persistence, and hope." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Chronicles her battle with the illness and reveals a woman who, thought desperately ill, showed tremendous courage." —The New York Times

Reincarnation Blues
Literary Fiction · Romance · Contemporary Fiction · Speculative Fiction
Our take
Reincarnation Blues follows Milo, who has lived nearly ten thousand lives in pursuit of wisdom, meaning, and one impossible love. With only five chances left before oblivion, he keeps returning to existence for Death herself, his constant companion between lives. Funny, tender, and cosmic in scope, this novel blends romance and philosophy in a darkly enchanting exploration of existence by Michael Poore.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A wildly imaginative novel about a man who is reincarnated over ten thousand lifetimes to be with his one true love: Death herself.
“This book made me laugh out loud. And then a page later, it made me sob. Reminiscent of Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore, Poore finds humor in the dark absurdities of life.”—Chicago Review of Books
First we live. Then we die. And then . . . we get another try?
Ten thousand tries, to be exact. Ten thousand lives to “get it right.” Answer all the Big Questions. Achieve Wisdom. And Become One with Everything.
Milo has had 9,995 chances so far and has just five more lives to earn a place in the cosmic soul. If he doesn’t make the cut, oblivion awaits. But all Milo really wants is to fall forever into the arms of Death. Or Suzie, as he calls her.
More than just Milo’s lover throughout his countless layovers in the Afterlife, Suzie is literally his reason for living—as he dives into one new existence after another, praying for the day he’ll never have to leave her side again.
But Reincarnation Blues is more than a great love story: Every journey from cradle to grave offers Milo more pieces of the great cosmic puzzle—if only he can piece them together in time to finally understand what it means to be part of something bigger than infinity. Darkly enchanting and wisely hilarious, Michael Poore’s Reincarnation Blues is the story of everything that makes life profound, beautiful, absurd, and heartbreaking.
Because it’s more than Milo and Suzie’s story. It’s your story, too.

About the book
When the Internet suddenly stops working, society reels from the loss of flowing data and streaming entertainment in Wayne Gladstone's provactive novel, Notes from the Internet Apocalypse.
Addicts wander the streets talking to themselves in 140 characters or forcing cats to perform tricks for their amusement, while the truly desperate pin their requests for casual encounters on public bulletin boards. The economy tumbles and the government passes the draconian NET Recovery Act.
For Gladstone, the Net's disappearance comes particularly hard, following the loss of his wife, leaving his flask of Jamesons and grandfather's fedora as the only comforts in his Brooklyn apartment. But there are rumors that someone in New York is still online. Someone set apart from this new world where Facebook flirters "poke" each other in real life and members of Anonymous trade memes at secret parties. Where a former librarian can sell information as a human search engine and the perverted fulfill their secret fetishes at the blossoming Rule 34 club.
With the help of his friends---a blogger and a webcam girl, both now out of work---Gladstone sets off to find the Internet. But is he the right man to save humanity from this Apocalypse?
For those of you wondering if you have WiFi right now, Wayne Gladstone's Notes from the Internet Apocalypse examines the question "What is life without the Web?"

About the book
His team double-crossed and left him for dead. Now he’s back to kill them all.
Solomon Church is a ghost. An ex-special forces operative trained for the most dangerous covert missions, he’s been living off the grid for a decade in self-imposed exile—hiding from the men who betrayed him.
Ten years ago, Church and his team were dispatched to the DRC to eliminate General Zawadi, an African warlord profiteering from a horrifying cobalt slave mine. Their cover is simple: working close protection for British business magnate Sir Walter Blackthorn, there to negotiate a cobalt trade deal for the UK. But as they play their parts, waiting for the right moment to strike, Church comes to realise they may not be the only ones planning something...
Now, Blackthorn is back in the spotlight—his vast business empire turning into an unstoppable political machine, driving him straight toward the highest seat of power in Britain. For most, he’s a visionary leader. For Church, he’s the man who turned a righteous mission into a brutal betrayal, and the very reason his old teammates deserve to die. To stop Blackthorn, Church must step out of the shadows and into a deadly game of espionage, political conspiracy, and the kind of revenge only his special forces training could have prepared him for.
But he knows Blackthorn won’t come quietly. Surrounded by the men Church once called brothers, he’ll be forced to call on all of his skills and experience if he hopes to right the wrongs of his past, and finally finish what he started all those years ago. Blackthorn already killed him once. Now it’s his turn to repay the favour...
***
The Exile is an action-packed high-stakes military and spy thriller, loaded with special forces tradecraft and explosive twists. Join Church on his crusade for revenge, as he deals his own brand of vigilante justice to those who deserve it most. Perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Mark Greaney, Lee Child, and readers of espionage and CIA thrillers, this is the high-octane first mission of Solomon Church—a lone operative who’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done. Gear up for a rip-roaring international thriller and discover your new favourite action hero today.
