About the book
KINGDOMS WILL RISE AND FALL FOR HER
Cat Fisa isn't who she pretends to be. She's perfectly content living disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus, avoiding the destiny the Gods—and her dangerous family—have saddled her with. As far as she's concerned, the magic humming within her blood can live and die with her. She won't be a pawn in anyone's game.
But then she locks eyes with an ambitious warlord from the magic-deprived south and her illusion of safety is shattered forever.
Griffin knows Cat is the Kingmaker—the woman who divines truth through lies—and he wants her to be a powerful weapon for his newly conquered realm. Kidnapping her off the street is simple enough, but keeping her by his side is infuriatingly tough. Cat fights him at every turn, showing a ferocity of spirit that burns hot...and leaves him desperate for more. But can he ever hope to prove to his once-captive that he wants her there by his side as his equal, his companion...and maybe someday, his Queen?
Discover exciting bonus material, including maps, illustrations, and an expanded look at the world of Thalyria. Fans of Jennifer Armentrout, Scarlett St. Clair and Sarah J. Maas will burn for this spicy romantic fantasy.

About the book
A thrilling twist on the enemies to lovers’ theme—a deliciously dark vampire romance with a unique steampunk infusion.
He promised her vengeance. She threatened to steal his heart instead….
Caleb Byrnes works best alone. The cold and brooding blue blood is the best tracker the Guild of Nighthawks has, and he rules the craving within him with an iron hand. Nobody escapes him. Nobody gets the better of him. And nobody has ever come close to unleashing the hunger within him.
Until now….
Ingrid Miller is the one who got away.
The one woman who makes him burn, and threatens all his hard-won control.
The passionate and fiery verwulfen bounty hunter once worked a case with him—and left him tied to his bed. Naked.

There’s just one little problem….
Vampires once ruled London—but after a bloodthirsty revolution left the human queen on the throne, the city has been negotiating a new peace. Rumors of a plot against the queen beckon, and Byrnes and Ingrid must go undercover among the blue blood elite in order to discover the truth.
And when their hunt uncovers a dangerous conspiracy, Byrnes must unleash the darkness within him if he’s to have any chance of protecting the woman his vampiric half wants to claim….
A unique, sexy paranormal romance, Bec McMaster's London Steampunk novels will appeal to fans of Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, and Kristen Callihan's Darkest London series.

The city itself becomes unstable when reality starts reshaping itself overnight.
Dream London
Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Urban Fantasy
Our take
The city itself becomes unstable when reality starts reshaping itself overnight. In Dream London, Captain Jim Wedderburn sets out to uncover what has transformed London into a shifting, surreal landscape where streets rearrange, people change, and nothing stays fixed for long. This speculative fantasy blends dream logic, satire, and mystery into a strange urban story where identity and place both feel dangerously uncertain.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Captain Jim Wedderburn has looks, style and courage by the bucketful. He’s adored by women, respected by men and feared by his enemies. He’s the man to find out who has twisted London into this strange new world, and he knows it.
But in Dream London the city changes a little every night and the people change a little every day. The towers are growing taller, the parks have hidden themselves away and the streets form themselves into strange new patterns. There are people sailing in from new lands down the river, new criminals emerging in the East End and a path spiralling down to another world.
Everyone is changing, no one is who they seem to be.
“An unclassifiable gem... shares the surreal, absurdist whimsy of Alice in Wonderland and Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday.”
The Guardian
“A sweetly dark satire shot through with Occupy-era indignation and a bizarre dream logic in which everything makes sense as long as you accept that nothing makes sense. This is as strange and unclassifiable a novel as it’s possible to imagine, and a marvellous achievement.” The Financial Times

Twisted Pretty Things throws Dom Domenici into London’s illegal magical underworld, where artifact auctions, fast cars, and buried secrets rule.
Twisted Pretty Things
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Urban Fantasy
Our take
Twisted Pretty Things throws Dom Domenici into London’s illegal magical underworld, where artifact auctions, fast cars, and buried secrets rule. Desperate to escape organized crime, Dom takes a dangerous case for billionaire Alexander Kempthorne, ignoring forbidden attraction and foreign agents closing in. As something wicked stalks the city, failure could unleash shadows far worse. First in an MM fantasy series.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Something wicked is moving in the shadows of London…
In the underground world of glitzy illegal auctions, fast cars, and stolen magical artifacts, John “Dom” Domenici knows he’s out of his depth. But he needs the job at Kempthorne & Co like he needs to breathe. The alternative—going back to the organized crime gangs of London’s East End—is unthinkable.
So when Alexander Kempthorne, boss of Kempthorne & Co Artifact Retrieval Agency, wants him on a special case to track down an illegal artifact dealer, Dom can’t say no.
It shouldn’t matter that Kempthorne’s world is full of deadly secrets. It shouldn’t matter that the billionaire is sexy as sin, and it really shouldn’t matter how there’s an American agent stalking Dom, an American who knows more than he should about Dom’s case, including the real reason Alexander Kempthorne hired Dom.
The only thing that really matters to Dom is solving the case and finding the artifact dealer. Because there are worse things in London than a conflicted billionaire and a trigger-happy American. Something wicked is stalking London’s streets, and if Dom doesn’t stop it, its shadows will rise and consume them all.
Twisted Pretty Things is the first book in the all-new Shadows of London MM urban fantasy series. Action, mystery, and gay romance combine in this fast-paced adventure from the author who brought you the award-winning Silk & Steel series and the best-selling Prince's Assassin series.

About the book
Welcome to The Family. Try not to get killed.
Lydia has always known she has no power, especially next to her infamous and more-than-slightly dodgy family. Which is why she carved her own life as a private investigator far away from London.
When a professional blunder forces her home, the head of the family calls in a favour, and Lydia finds herself investigating the disappearance of her cousin, Maddie.
Soon, Lydia is neck-deep in problems: her new flatmate is a homicidal ghost, the intriguing, but forbidden, DCI Fleet is acting in a distinctly unprofessional manner, and tensions between the old magical families are rising.
The Crows used to rule the roost and rumours claim they are still the strongest.
The Silvers have a facility for lying and they run the finest law firm in London.
The Pearl family were costermongers and everybody knows that a Pearlie can sell feathers to a bird.
The Fox family... Well. The less said about the Fox family the better.
For seventy-five years, a truce between the four families has held strong, but could the disappearance of Maddie Crow be the thing to break it?
The Night Raven is the first book in Crow Investigations, an exciting paranormal mystery series from bestselling author of magical fiction, Sarah Painter.

About the book
Bright, attractive, and both from good families, University of Texas college student Colton Pitonyak and vibrant redhead Jennifer Cave had the world at their beckoning. Cave, an ex-cheerleader, had just landed an exciting new job, while a big-money scholarship to UT's prestigious business school lured Pitonyak to Austin. Yet the former altar boy had a dark, unpredictable streak, one that ensnared him in the perilous underworld of drugs and guns. When Jennifer failed to show up for work on August 18, 2005, her mother became frightened. Sharon Cave's search led to Colton's West Campus apartment, where Jennifer's family discovered a scene worthy of the grisliest horror movie. Meanwhile, Colton Pitonyak was nowhere to be found.
A Descent Into Hell is the gripping true story of one of the most brutal slayings in UT history—and the wild "Bonnie and Clyde-like" flight from justice of a cold-blooded young killer and his would-be girlfriend, who claimed that her unquestioning allegiance to Pitonyak was "just the way I roll."

The Sound of a Thousand Stars
Historical Fiction · War Fiction · World War 2
Our take
Set against the secrecy and moral tension of the Manhattan Project, this sweeping historical debut follows Alice Katz, a brilliant young Jewish physicist working under Oppenheimer, and Caleb Blum, an Orthodox scientist assigned to explosives. As they race against time in a desert city built on secrets, their bond deepens amid fear, ambition, and impossible choices. Inspired by the author’s grandparents, this is a powerful story about love under pressure, wartime ethics, and the cost of survival.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Oppenheimer meets Hidden Figures in this sweeping historical debut where two Jewish physicists form an inseverable bond amidst fear and uncertainty.
Sure to captivate readers of Kate Quinn and Bonnie Garmus, The Sound of a Thousand Stars eerily mirrors modern-day questions of wartime ethics and explores what it means to survive—at any cost.
Alice Katz is a young Jewish physicist, one of the only female doctoral students at her university, studying with the famed Dr. Oppenheimer. Her well-to-do family wants her to marry a man of her class and settle down. Instead, Alice answers her country’s call to come to an unnamed city in the desert to work on a government project shrouded in secrecy.
At Los Alamos, Alice meets Caleb Blum, a poor Orthodox Jew who has been assigned to the explosives division. Around them are other young scientists and engineers who have quietly left their university posts to come live in the desert.
No one seems to know exactly what they are working on—what they do know is that it is a race and that they must beat the Nazis in developing an unspeakable weapon. In this atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, and despite their many differences, Alice and Caleb find themselves drawn to one another.
Inspired by the author’s grandparents and sure to appeal to fans of Good Night, Irene, The Sound of a Thousand Stars is a propulsive novel about love in desperate times, the consequences of our decisions, and the roles we play in history.

About the book
This “swashbuckling, spine tingling, bloody good masterpiece of an adventure novel” (James Patterson, #1 New York Times bestselling author) about a man who follows in the footsteps of his pirate forebears to solve the mystery of his parents' murders and find the greatest treasure in the world.
On a yacht in the warm blue waters of the Caribbean, a little boy named Alex Hawke, hidden in a secret compartment, witnesses the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of two strange men. The only survivors of the attack, Alex and his father’s black parrot, Sniper, are sent back to the island off the coast of England where his family had lived and where generations of Hawkes have called home ever since their pirate forebear, the legendary Blackhawke, was betrayed and hung by the British.
Decades later, the boy, now a grown man and a naval hero, returns to the Caribbean on a special mission for the United States and Great Britain. His task is to find a secret Stealth submarine that has mysteriously disappeared and the men responsible for the theft. Once there, however, Hawke begins to have flashbacks about the night of his parents’ murder. He has also brought along with him a piece of paper his father had pressed into his hands before locking him into the compartment—an ancient treasure map.
Hawke begins to puzzle through his own tragic history and the meaning of the map, even as the search for the submarine intensifies. As Hawke nears the end of his search for his parents’ killers and the men who stole the submarine, he begins to realize that they are one and the same and that to the victor not only will go unimaginable military power but also one of the greatest treasures in the world.

Paradise-1
Horror · Sci-Fi · Space Colonization
Our take
Paradise-1 was supposed to be humanity’s fresh start. Instead, it went silent. When Firewatch inspector Alexandra Petrova is sent to investigate the missing deep-space colony, she expects equipment failure or human error. What she finds is far worse. A tense, claustrophobic blend of sci-fi and horror where exploration turns into survival and every unanswered question makes things more dangerous.

About the book
An electric blend of sci-fi and horror, Paradise-1 begins a terrifying new trilogy of exploration and survival in deep space from Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated author David Wellington.
"A superior space thriller that never flags....Readers will be on the edge of their seats." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Paradise-1. Earth’s first deep space colony. For thousands of people, it was an opportunity for a new life. Until it went dark.
No communication has been received from the colony for months. And it falls to Firewatch inspector Alexandra Petrova and the crew of the Artemis to investigate.
What they find is more horrifying than anything they could have imagined.

Our take
A trail of stolen bodies points toward a secret society willing to turn death into a private experiment. In Never Dead, reporter Michael Jacobs investigates grave robberies outside 1920s Chicago and uncovers a wealthy circle funding illegal work beneath a mansion.

Choose your retailer
About the book
A series of grave robberies in the 1920’s go unsolved until reporter Michael Jacobs follows a new thread.
His investigation leads him to a small town in the suburbs of Chicago named Elk Hills. While there, he finds out more haunting information than the police ever discovered.
But with each interview bringing him closer to the truth, he finds himself becoming a part of the story he was looking to write.
At the same time, wealthy businessman Edmund Creighton organizes a group of equally wealthy families and individuals in the Chicago area to finance illegal experiments in the basement of his mansion.
These experiments require the presence of recently dead bodies which the members of the secret society are more than happy to acquire.
By the time these dark secrets are uncovered, it may be too late for Michael, or the truth, to make any difference.
