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...

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.

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.

Our take
Magic is both her salvation and her slow undoing in The Moorwitch. Rose Pryor, a gifted Weaver bound by a dangerous fae bargain, must pose as a governess on the Scottish moors to uncover a hidden gateway to Faerie before her power dies. Torn between a controlling fae handler and a guarded young laird, she faces a choice between survival and love in this gothic romantic fantasy
Choose your retailer
About the book
In this sweeping romantic fantasy from bestselling author Jessica Khoury, a young witch caught in a twisted bargain with the fae must disguise herself as a governess and uncover the gateway to the realm of faerie in order to save her dying magic and escape the clutches of her controlling fae handler—even as she finds herself falling for her new employer, an enigmatic young Scottish laird and the owner of a crumbling estate brimming with secrets.
Rose Pryor has sacrificed everything for magic. As a Weaver skilled in the craft of spinning spells with thread and needle, she’s always chosen magic over love, and it was magic that brought her to Lachlan, the fae with whom Rose once struck a sinister deal in order to escape her abusive home. After years of running from her past, Rose has finally managed to build a new life for herself as a teacher in a school for young Weavers. But Rose has a secret: Her magic is waning, and every spell she weaves to train her students is slowly killing her.
When Lachlan returns to collect the debt Rose owes him, she finds herself on a perilous journey to the Scottish moors where she must find him an ancient gateway to the realm of the fae, lest her precious magic be forfeit. But when her quest pits her against Conrad, a young laird with a soul as lonely as her own who hires Rose to work as a governess for his rebellious young sister, Rose finds herself torn between her promise to Lachlan and her budding feelings for her new employer as her search for the gateway puts both her magic and her heart at stake.

At a royal ball meant for charity, a hungry farm girl catches the attention of a prince she cannot afford to trust.
What Comes of Attending the Commoners Ball
Romantasy · Fairy Tale
Our take
At a royal ball meant for charity, a hungry farm girl catches the attention of a prince she cannot afford to trust. In What Comes of Attending the Commoners Ball, Hester Flanders attends for a free meal but finds herself entangled with two royal brothers and the unsettling presence of the Folk she was raised to fear. This cozy fantasy romance blends courtship, superstition, and slow-burn longing beneath glittering gaslamps.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Hester Flanders went to the ball for the food. She didn’t expect a prince to follow her home.
If there’s one rule Hester learned during her country upbringing, it’s never accept a gift: that’s how the Folk get you. Although she’s left her farm behind, she can’t leave her superstitions, even if no one else in the capital city seems to care. Hardworking but hungry, she’s looking for loopholes, and the king’s annual Commoners Ball seems like the perfect way to get a free meal that’s not technically a gift—and it would have been, too, except a pesky prince took a shine to her.
Inglebert Lucas Chesingwick isn’t just the crown prince: he’s also practical, responsible, and very annoyed to see his younger brother causing a scene by flirting with a peasant at the ball. He can separate them for one night, but his mischievous brother is determined to see the poor girl again. And again. And for some reason, Lucas keeps running into her, too. If only there was some way he could help her …
The princes might mean well, but Hester knows better than to accept favors from anyone, even royalty—even if it’s cheese—and even if saying no breaks her heart. After all, just because the Folk have never been seen in the city doesn’t mean they’re not around …
Cinderella meets Howl’s Moving Castle in this cozy fantasy romance from debut author Elisabeth Aimee Brown. Pick up your copy and whirl away into a whimsical story of glittering gaslamps, frisky Folk, and huggable hogs.

Vengeance becomes complicated when the enemy’s son is the one you save.
The Renegades
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Vengeance becomes complicated when the enemy’s son is the one you save. After rescuing a wounded prince from an ambush, Iiriniss must confront her hatred for the Bloodthorne dynasty that destroyed her family. As uneasy alliances form and danger tightens its grip, this YA action fantasy blends rebellion, loyalty, and shifting trust in a story driven by sisterhood and rising magic.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The king took everything from them, except their will to survive.
When Iiriniss saves a gravely wounded prince from a deadly ambush, she knows the risk. The prince is none other than Terven Bloodthorne—youngest son of the tyrant king who murdered her father, burned her home, and forced her and her sisters into hiding.
She’s vowed to destroy the Bloodthorne dynasty. Yet, she cannot let Terven die—not after the debt she owes him. And the more time she spends with the prince, the more she sees that he is nothing like his cruel father or brothers.
Iiriniss and her sisters may have found an unexpected ally, but saving Terven may have doomed them to greater danger than ever before.
Perfect for fans of characters-driven fantasy with high-stakes, this gripping tale of revenge and magic will leave you breathless.
