Sawkill Girls

Our take
Girls vanish on a beautiful island, and the truth settles into silence rather than answers. When Marion, Zoey, and Val cross paths on Sawkill Rock, each carries grief, anger, and a sense of being watched. As an old hunger rises, their separate fears converge into resistance. Sawkill Girls is a YA dark fantasy about complicity, survival, and the power that forms when girls refuse to disappear.

About the book
Three teen girls face off against an insidious monster that preys upon young women in this YA dark fantasy novel from a New York Times–bestselling author.
Named one of YALSA's Best Fiction Books for Young AdultsA Bram Stoker Award NomineeA Lambda Literary Award Nominee
Who are the Sawkill Girls?
Marion: The newbie. Awkward and plain, steady and dependable. Weighed down by tragedy and hungry for love she's sure she'll never find.
Zoey: The pariah. Luckless and lonely, hurting but hiding it. Aching with grief and dreaming of vanished girls. Maybe she's broken—or maybe everyone else is.
Val: The queen bee. Gorgeous and privileged, ruthless and regal. Words like silk and eyes like knives; a heart made of secrets and a mouth full of lies.
Their stories come together on the island of Sawkill Rock, where gleaming horses graze in rolling pastures and cold waves crash against black cliffs. Where kids whisper the legend of an cunning creature at parties and around campfires. Where girls have been disappearing for decades, stolen away by a ravenous evil no one has dared to fight . . . until now.
"Reader, hang on for dear life. Sawkill Girls is a wild, gorgeous, and rich coming-of-age story about complicity, female camaraderie, and power." —Sarah Gailey, author of Spread Me
"An eerie, atmospheric assertion of female strength." —Mindy McGinnis, author of How Girls Are Made

Our take
Fear of magic fractures a kingdom already straining under political tension. Mystic and Rider follows Senneth, a powerful mystic sent south to assess rising unrest, and Tayse, a royal Rider who distrusts everything she represents. Forced into uneasy alliance, they confront fanaticism, betrayal, and their own assumptions as survival depends on cooperation. This epic fantasy blends court intrigue, slow-building trust, and the costs of power in a divided realm.

About the book
Gillengaria is seething with unrest, where magic is both feared and coveted, and a dangerous mission unfolds
In the south, hostility toward magic and its users has risen to a dangerous level, though King Baryn has ordered that such mystics are to be tolerated. It is whispered that he issued the decree because his new wife used her magic powers to ensnare him…
The King knows there are those in the noble Twelve Houses who could use this growing dissent to overthrow him. So he dispatches the mystic Senneth to assess the threat throughout the realm. Accompanying her is a motley band of magic-users and warriors including Tayse, first among the King’s Riders—who holds a hard view of mystics in general, and Senneth in particular.
But as the unlikely allies venture farther into the south, they will face death in a land under the sway of a fanatical cult that would purge Gillengaria of all magic users. And they will come to realize that their only hope of survival lies in standing together…

Into the Labyrinth follows a struggling magic student who expects failure so completely that success feels almost dangerous.
Into the Labyrinth
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Into the Labyrinth follows a struggling magic student who expects failure so completely that success feels almost dangerous. Hugh of Emblin can barely control his spells, has no real allies, and faces the Academy at Skyhold’s brutal first-year trial beneath the school. This is progression fantasy with academy stakes, underdog momentum, and the satisfying pull of a hero learning he may not be broken after all.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Hugh of Emblin is, so far as he's concerned, the worst student that the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen. He can barely cast any spells at all, and those he does cast tend to fail explosively. If that wasn't bad enough, he's also managed to attract the ire of the most promising student of his year- who also happens to be the nephew of a king. Hugh has no friends, no talent, and definitely doesn't expect a mage to choose him as an apprentice at all during the upcoming Choosing.
When a very unusual mage does choose him as apprentice, however, his life starts to take a sharp turn for the better. Now all he has to worry about is the final test for the first years- being sent into the terrifying labyrinth below Skyhold.

Stories shape power, and those who understand them can bend empires.
A Practical Guide to Evil
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · LitRPG
Our take
Stories shape power, and those who understand them can bend empires. A Practical Guide to Evil follows Catherine Foundling, an orphan in a conquered kingdom who chooses to rise within the villainous system that crushed her home. Guided by ruthless pragmatism rather than idealism, she navigates prophecy, politics, and war to seize control of her own fate. This fantasy examines ambition, moral compromise, and the cost of winning.

About the book
The Empire stands triumphant.
For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this golden age threats to the empire are rising.
The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles while rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, for dreams of crowns were buried in shallow graves. The greatest danger of all lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has restored order at last: her people sundered, she ponders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign.
Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.
Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

Daggerspell
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
A single act of cruelty echoes across centuries, binding lives that have not yet been lived. In a land shaped by reincarnation and forgotten vows, Jill and those around her are drawn into a struggle born four hundred years earlier. In Daggerspell, destiny unfolds through intertwined lifetimes, ancient magic, and the slow reckoning of choices that refuse to remain in the past.
Choose your retailer
About the book
“This grand saga is by a wide margin the best Celtic fantasy around.”—Chicago Sun-Times
Even as a young girl, Jill was a favorite of the magical, mysterious Wildfolk, who appeared to her from their invisible realm. Little did she know her extraordinary friends represented but a glimpse of a forgotten past and a fateful future. Four hundred years—and many lifetimes—ago, one selfish young lord caused the death of two innocent lovers. Then and there he vowed never to rest until he'd rightened that wrong-and laid the foundation for the lives of Jill and all those whom she would hold dear: her father, the mercenary soldier Cullyn; the exiled berserker Rhodry Maelwaedd; and the ancient and powerful herbman Nevyn, all bound in a struggle against darkness. . . and a quest to fulfill the destinies determined centuries ago.
Here in this newly revised edition comes the incredible novel that began one of the best-loved fantasy seers in recent years—a tale of bold adventure and timeless love, perilous battle and pure magic. For long-standing fans of Deverry and those who have yet to experience this exciting series, Daggerspell is a rare and special treat.

Power shifts quietly in courts where survival depends on patience and calculation.
Wolfblade
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Power shifts quietly in courts where survival depends on patience and calculation. Marla Wolfblade moves through a web of conspirators, family rivals, and political factions while fighting to secure her son’s future in a rigidly patriarchal world. In Wolfblade, strategy replaces steel as alliances, secrets, and hard-earned political insight determine who holds power and who is sacrificed to preserve it.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Marla Wolfblade of Hythria is determined to restore her family's great name, but conspirators surround her: the Sorcerers' Collective, the Patriots -- even members of her own family. She must make sure her son Damin lives to be old enough to restore the Wolfblade name to its former glory.
Elezaar the Dwarf is a small man with big secrets -- but that doesn't matter to Marla Wolfblade. Her brother is the High Prince of Hythria, and, in this fiercely patriarchal society, her fate will be decided on his whim. She needs someone politically astute to guide her through the maze of court politics -- and Elezaar the Dwarf knows more than he lets on.
As Elezaar teaches Marla the Rules of Gaining and Wielding Power, Marla starts on the road to becoming a tactician and a wily diplomat -- but will that be enough to keep her son alive?

In a world where magic elevates men beyond their nature, one warrior exists to end them.
The Wizard Slayer
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
In a world where magic elevates men beyond their nature, one warrior exists to end them. Marked as a monster since birth, Krael earns his name hunting those who wield forbidden power. When a royal command clashes with his personal war against sorcery, The Wizard Slayer delivers a brutal sword and sorcery tale driven by vengeance, moral defiance, and the cost of standing against gods made by magick.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Magick turns men into gods. Men were not born to be gods.
Krael was no ordinary barbarian. Born in the savage north, his people were more animal than human. His fangs and terrifying stature always kept him from fitting in with civilized humanity. To most, Krael was just a monster. But a select few knew him for his true talents. Those select few called him the Wizard Slayer.
When rumors of a rogue sorcerer reach the king of Saidal’s ears, he enlists Krael to bring him to justice. But Krael is no mere bounty hunter. The Wizard Slayer’s crusade against magic is a personal one. Though the king wished to keep the sorcerer alive, Krael has more fatal plans in store...
Battling those who use magic is never easy. It is even more difficult when corrupt nobility seeks to coerce you. Yet Krael will not bend the knee. By blood and steel, he will continue to fight for what he believes in, no matter the cost.

A prince destroys a city, dies a hero, and lives to regret surviving.
The Price of Power
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A prince destroys a city, dies a hero, and lives to regret surviving. As war spreads and rival powers maneuver for control, three lives are drawn into a collision between political ambition and apocalyptic prophecy. In The Price of Power, fallen royalty, inherited bloodlines, and unwanted foresight drive a grim epic where every choice demands sacrifice, and refusing the cost may doom the world itself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"For fans of Joe Abercrombie's First Law and George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire." - Grimdark Magazine.
Prince Barodane could not hold back the darkness. Not even in himself. He laid an innocent city in its grave and then died a hero.
In his absence, war whispers across the land.
Power-hungry highborn dispatch spies and assassins to the shadows as they maneuver for the throne, while an even greater threat rises in the South. Monsters and cultists flock to the banners of a mad prophet determined to control reality…and then shatter it.
Destiny stalks three to the brink of oblivion.
A dead prince who isn’t dead. Barodane buried his shameful past in a stupor of drugs, drink, and crime. Now, he’d rather watch the world fall apart than wear the crown again.
An orphan with hero’s blood who's forced to make a harrowing choice: betray her country or sacrifice her first love.
And a powerful seer who has no choice at all–her grandson must die.
If any of them fails to pay the price…
The cost will be the world’s complete annihilation.
Perfect for fans of The First Law, A Game of Thrones, The Five Warrior Angels, Ash and Sand, and A Land Fit for Heroes.
"This book feels like a worthy successor to some of the greats of fiction, including Malazan, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Wheel of Time." - Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade

A man who only plays heroes is taken for one when a desperate world runs out of options.
Kradak the Champion
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A man who only plays heroes is taken for one when a desperate world runs out of options. When Steve is pulled through a collapsing portal into Arkana, he becomes Kradak by mistake, a champion expected to face monsters, war, and ruin. In Kradak the Champion, survival depends on whether a manufactured legend can grow into something real, shaped by courage, consequence, and unfamiliar worlds colliding.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They call him Kradak, but his friends call him Steve.
Steve's a big guy with a knack for looking heroic — perfect for his role as Kradak in a series of cheesy B-movies. But when a fierce warrior named Rista and her sarcastic goblin sidekick Grint come through a portal from Arkana, they mistake him for the real deal.
They don’t know what a movie is. They only know their world is on the brink of ruin, and they believe Kradak the Champion is their last hope. Before Steve can explain the mix-up, the portal slams shut. Now, he’s trapped in a realm of towering Cyclops, stone-crushing Rock Titans, and battle-hardened trolls.
To survive — and maybe even save Arkana — Steve has to become the hero he’s always pretended to be. With Rista’s relentless courage, Grint’s sharp tongue, and a whole lot of questionable decisions, the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.
Kradak the Champion is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sword and sorcery adventure, and the first book in the Arkana duology.

War is declared, but some legacies are too dangerous to march openly.
Half-Bloods Rising
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
War is declared, but some legacies are too dangerous to march openly. When a half-elf named Kealin is forbidden from joining the elven war effort, a hidden truth about his bloodline begins to surface. As prophecy, forbidden magic, and an ancient threat converge, Half-Bloods Rising unfolds as a classic sword and sorcery journey driven by lineage, loyalty, and the cost of awakening long-feared power.
Choose your retailer
About the book
War calls the elves of Urlas to battle. But Kealin, a young half-elf training to be a Sacred Blade, and his three siblings, are forbidden to go. They are not ready, or so they're told. But Kealin's lineage has a dark secret and the High Council of Urlas fears what he may become...
Kealin is about to learn that secret and in the cataclysm emerging, Urlas will wish they had embraced it.
When the soothsayer of Urlas tells Kealin that doom comes for all that left for the war, he and his siblings set off on what may be a one-way journey to the edge of the world. Darkness is upon them and a specter that dwells between the borders of the living realms has been waiting for them.
The Rogue Elf awakens... but is it too late to save those he loves?
A brave group of companions await you:
Kealin- a defiant half-blood that has little care of the purist High Elves and their beliefs. Eager, skilled, and sometimes a bit cocky, he fights with furious zeal to protect those he cares about.
Alri- The only female elf in the group. Her powers are far beyond her brothers. As a potent magic-user training under the best of the arcane masters, she knows much about her deadly art but necromancy is her natural gift. With her, a power unlike that taught in her homeland is just within her grasp yet she doesn't realize it yet.
Taslun- A son after his father's image. Strong, loyal to Urlas, and at 800 years old nearly ready to go before the High Council and be christened as a Blade of Urlas. He is the last anyone expects to become defiant. As the oldest sibling, he naturally desires to look after the young ones. They'll need his skills if they are all to survive.
Calak- The youngest of the males and with equal qualities of being cocky and honorable. While he is capable with a sword, his true gift is in his love of astrology, history, and ancient knowledge. Where he lacks in fighting ability he makes up for what his more 'violence-centric' brothers see as 'boring'.
Valrin- Not an elf but also not a normal human. However, the greatest mystery to the half-elves is his level of knowledge of the vast Glacial Seas and what he seems to know but not say about their quest. A loyal companion that has known of the elven lands and the coming darkness on the seas far before the half-elves left their home, he is the key to much to come. He commands the Aela Sunrise, a not-so-simple sailing vessel crafted by the ancient Sea Peoples of the North.
