A hero's quest begins in this first book of "perhaps [the] most highly regarded fantasy trilogy" from the New York Times–bestselling author (Black Gate).
They washed up on the beach, dead men clad in strange, intricate garments. The Naumkib tribe will eat well tonight. Simple herdsman Etjole Ehomba is wandering among the corpses, when he hears a faint cry . . .
One of the men is still alive—and he implores Etjole for help. His countess-to-be, the Visioness Themaryl of Laconda, has been abducted, carried off by Hymneth the Possessed. The dying man charges Etjole with the duty to find her and restore her to the people of Laconda.
Etjole—herder, fisherman, father, warrior, tracker—is a man of conviction. He cannot ignore a brave and noble man's plea. So he sets off on a journey to find a woman many men were willing to die for and to face his destiny in the Unstable Lands, where people are swallowed up by unreality—by things that should not even exist . . .

About the book
In a land ruled by tyrants, only the savage survive.
Venir the Darkslayer once lived for battle. Forged in blood, fueled by rage, and cursed to slaughter the Underling menace, he was a weapon of vengeance that kept Bish from collapse. But the world has changed. The Underlings are gone… and with them, Venir’s purpose.
Now, betrayed by the cowardly Royals and stripped of his victories, his name has been twisted into lies. Exiled into obscurity and drowning himself in grog, Venir is shoved into the Tournament of Death—a savage pit where killers fight not for gold, but for survival.
But fate isn’t finished with him. When Royal Kira Amberstone is murdered, Venir and his closest ally, Melegal the Rogue, are framed for the crime. What began as Melegal’s investigation into whispers of treachery erupts into a conspiracy dripping with steel, sorcery, and blood. Assassins stalk their every move, and the Royals sharpen their knives.
Yet Venir sees what no one else dares face—enemies from another world have invaded. A forgotten demon army stirs in the dark, eager to consume Bish. Deep within the mountain, the goddess Trinos is bound in chains of sorcery, her power suppressed by the invaders. To free her, Venir must reunite with his war axe Brool, carve through liars and betrayers, and unleash the fury only the Darkslayer can wield.

Anabelle Gage is trapped in a male body, and it’s rotting from the inside out. But Ana can’t afford to escape it, even as the wealthiest in Caimor buy and discard expensive designer bodies without a thought. When she fails to gain admittance to the prestigious Paragon Academy—and access to the healthy new forms the school provides its students—her final hope implodes. Now without options, Ana must use her illusion magic to try to steal a healthy chassis—before her own kills her.
But Ana is caught by none other than the headmaster of Paragon Academy, who poses a brutal ultimatum: face execution for her crime or become a mercenary at his command. Revolt brews in Caimor's smog-choked underworld, and the wealthy and powerful will stop at nothing to take down the rebels and the infamous dark witch at their helm, the Black Wraith.
With no choice but to accept, Ana will steal, fight, and kill her way to salvation. But her survival depends on a dangerous band of renegades: an impulsive assassin, a brooding bombmaker, and an alluring exile who might just spell her ruin. As Ana is drawn into a tangled web of secrets, the line between villain and hero shatters—and Ana must decide which side is worth dying for.

About the book
The gods chose him. He said no.
After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry...
Fate, however, had other plans.
On his eighteenth birthday, he is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool'. Worst of the marks.
Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree…and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires and try to pay tuition.
There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft…
…that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.
Explore a coming of age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

About the book
“Witty, charming, and a little sinister, this is a real showstopper.” —Allison Saft, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wings of Starlight
An unputdownable romantasy following a young woman posing as fortune-teller at a magical traveling carnival, where the handsome boy who once broke her heart resurfaces and warns her that the carnival is more sinister than it appears.
Welcome to the Carnival Fantástico, a spectacle of magic and mischief, and the perfect haven for a runaway.

Ignacio has defected from the army and is on the hunt for evidence of his father’s corruption. But the last thing he expects to find on his father’s trail of lies is the only girl he's ever loved, spinning false fortunes at a traveling carnival.
Perhaps fortune has thrown them together for a reason. They strike a deal: she’ll help him expose his father if he helps her secure the main act. But old feelings don’t die easily, and the commander’s secret isn’t the only thing they'll need to confront.

In the Name of the Worm
Horror · Dark Fantasy
Our take
After the Black Death, faith turns lethal as two investigators hunt forged relics and murdered priests across a decaying Holy Roman Empire.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The Black Death has emptied half of Christendom. Its survivors seek salvation wherever they can find it—in the remains of dead saints, the promises of priests, or at the bottom of their cups. Spurred on by the urgent need to be closer to God, forged indulgences and false relics have proliferated on both sides of the Rhine, turning hallowed bones into mere commodities.
Now, with the new Pope in Avignon hoping to reassert spiritual control over the Holy Roman Empire, Remi and Pierre find themselves flung into an intrigue at the beer-swigging heart of Christendom. Following the trail of murdered priests, plague-prophets, treacherous knights, and stolen relics, they will descend into the heart of a rotting empire, where new heresies have grown to fill the void left in the wake of plague.
Where the sulphurous stench of demons is surpassed only by the stink of the dead.
Where good has become a tool for evil.
Where something ancient is stirring.
Something that claims dominion and will have it no matter the cost.
In the Name of the Worm is a historical dark fantasy adventure of heretical proportions, complete with lost gods, entombed nuns, witch-knights, and a breathless plot interwoven with a heady dose of heterodox Christian and German folklore.

About the book
The natural magic of the classic The Island of the Blue Dolphins meets the danger and courage of The Hunger Games in this dazzling, intricate stand-alone fantasy novel set in award-winning author Sarah Beth Durst’s beloved world of Renthia.
Life is precious and precarious on the islands of Belene. Besieged by a capricious ocean full of malicious spirits, the people of the islands seek joy where they can. Mayara, one of the island’s fearless oyster divers, has found happiness in love. But on the day of her wedding to the artist Kelo, a spirit-driven storm hits the island with deadly force.
To save her loved ones, Mayara reveals a dangerous secret: she has the power to control the spirits. When the storm ends, she is taken into custody by the queen’s soldiers and imprisoned with other women like her.
They vary in age and social status, but to many they are heroes who will aid the country or witches that will sacrifice themselves trying. No matter who they are, the women are sent to a terrifying place—an island filled with bloodthirsty nature spirits, and left without food, water, shelter, or any tools except their own instincts and magic. Whoever survives the Island of Testing will be declared heirs to the queen. But no matter if she wins or loses, Mayara knows that the life she dreamed of is gone.
