About the book
This steampunk series debut set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Parasol Protectorate is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor that Gail Carriger's legions of fans adore.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than in proper manners—and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother had hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage—in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.

About the book
In a bitterly divided world, a giant bear becomes an object of worship in "the extraordinary fantasy novel by the author of Watership Down" (The Guardian, UK).
In a burning forest, Kelderek the hunter encounters a gigantic bear unlike any he's seen before. Surely this is the reincarnation of Lord Shardik, the messenger of god whose return has been anticipated by the primitive Ortelgan people. In service to Shardik, Kelderek becomes a prophet, then a soldier, and finally an emperor-priest. Swept up by fate and his impassioned faith, Klederek will come to discover ever-deeper layers of meaning implicit in the bear's divinity.
Written after his bestselling debut novel Watership Down, Richard Adams's Shardik is an epic fantasy of tragic character. A fascinating depiction of the power of belief, it explores themes of faith, slavery, and war.

About the book
Blood for the Undying Throne, the sequel to Blood of the Old Kings, from award-winning Korean author Sung-il Kim and translated by the world-renowned Anton Hur, is an epic fantasy adventure where the corpses of sorcerers power an empire and ordinary people rise up to tear it down.
Nothing can stop the Empire’s insatiable conquest.
Not gods, not dragons, not armies.
But heroes still rise.
The Empire continues to enforce its so-called peace with massive war machines that destroy anything that opposes their might. Though the conquered are wholly at the mercy of the Empire, desperate odds such as these can be fertile soil for heroic resistance.
Last seen rallying under Loran’s banner, Emere is now a powerless politician in the Imperial Capital. But when an assassination attempt is made on his life, he discovers that he may just be at the center of sinister plots brewing in the highest levels of the Empire.
Arienne has crossed the continent on a mission to learn more about the Star of Mersia, the infamous yet mysterious weapon that decimated the country of Mersia in a single day. But when she arrives at the supposedly lifeless land, Arienne is shocked to find much more than ruins.
One hundred and seventy years ago, before the Empire laid waste to its plains and its people, Mersia suffers under the whims of the ruthless Grim King Eldred. When Yuma, the chief cattle herder, meets an emissary from the Empire, she dares to hope that this foreign nation might have the power to overthrow the Grim King and end his reign of terror. But Yuma will learn, only once it’s too late, that aligning with the Empire will have consequences that reverberate through the ages.
Sacrifices must be made in the fight against tyranny, but some sacrifices may be too great.

Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Psychological Fiction
Our take
Budo has been eight-year-old Max Delaney’s imaginary friend for more than five years, but he knows his existence depends on Max continuing to believe in him. When a woman from Max’s school kidnaps the boy, Budo joins forces with other imaginary friends to rescue him, even if saving Max means disappearing forever. Ideal for readers who enjoy heartfelt contemporary fiction with imaginative storytelling, unusual friendships, and bittersweet choices.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Imaginary friend Budo narrates this heartwarming story of love, loyalty, and the power of the imagination—the perfect read for anyone who has ever had a friend . . . real or otherwise
Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear.
Max is different from other children. Some people say that he has Asperger's Syndrome, but most just say he's "on the spectrum." None of this matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls. But he can't protect Max from Mrs. Patterson, the woman who works with Max in the Learning Center and who believes that she alone is qualified to care for this young boy.
When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to save him—and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max's happiness or Budo's very existence.
Narrated by Budo, a character with a unique ability to have a foot in many worlds—imaginary, real, child, and adult— Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend touches on the truths of life, love, and friendship as it races to a heartwarming . . . and heartbreaking conclusion.

Choose your retailer
About the book
In this romantasy from the New York Times–bestselling author, a cursed man endangers his chance at redemption when he falls for a forbidden princess.
A born warrior, Dethan led his army to victory so often he believed himself unconquerable. Until hubris drove him to grasp for the kind of power held only by the gods. Alongside his brothers, he reached for immortality—and won it.
But not without incurring the wrath of the gods, who condemned Dethan to eternal damnation. Now the fires of hell seize his body, searing his flesh, melting his bones until he is nothing more than ash. Then Dethan is made whole, only to burn once again.
When Weysa, Goddess of Conflict, appears before him, he gets a shot at salvation. With war brewing between the gods, she demands Dethan gather an army and destroy those who would challenge her reign.
As the immortal soldier returns to the world once more, he confronts his all-too-earthly desires when he meets Selinda, heir to the throne of Hexis. And once he seduces the innocent princess, he is ready to risk everything—even the ire of the Goddess—to claim Selinda as his own.

About the book
The heart-pounding conclusion to the Daughter of Sparta series forces Daphne to face her past, her deepest fears, and an enemy who can defeat even the all-powerful gods of Olympus in this epic reimagining of classic Greek mythology, for fans of Lore.
After fighting in the Trojan War against her own people, Daphne is plagued by memories of her family, of her shortcomings, of her lover, Apollo, and of the secrets he and the gods keep.

Now, as she begins to witness her terrible destiny coming true, she must become a hero to rival those of myth and save the gods, her people, and the world. Or she will watch it all burn around her.
Claire M. Andrews has crafted a jaw-dropping conclusion to an epic series that gives women a powerful place among Greek mythology, flipping the world of gods and goddesses on its head. This breakneck race to the finish will have readers devouring its pages late into the night with one mind blowing twist after another, in a finale fit for a heroine who rivals any Ancient Greek hero.
