About the book
The second adventure in the New York Times–bestselling fantasy trilogy from the legendary million-selling author and creator of Drizzt Do'Urden.
Luthien Bedwyr vowed to free his beleaguered land of Eriador from its demonic ruler, Wizard-King Greensparrow. Cloaked in a scarlet cape that renders him invisible and wielding a magical sword, Luthien is known to Eriador's oppressed as the Crimson Shadow. With the rallying support of enslaved humans, defiant peasants, and Fairborn elves, he has forged a path for liberation—raid by insurgent raid.
Even with a mighty battle-ready band of stalwart comrades—including halfling thief Oliver deBurrows; fierce elf warrior Katerin O'Hale; and the ancient and mysterious mage, Brind'Amour—the rebels are fighting an uphill battle against the vile despot's escalating and bloodthirsty army of cyclopean soldiers. Then, Greensparrow makes an unexpected bid for peace. But why would a wizard so cunning and so evil suddenly concede?
Though Eriador's slaves see the compromise as cause for celebration, Luthien and Brind'Amour recognize it as a calculated trap. The Crimson Shadow knows in his heart that the war for freedom has only just begun.
Return to a rousing, magical quest in book two of a trilogy hailed by Terry Brooks as a "fine adventure filled with memorable characters and compelling action."

About the book
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Library Journal| Vulture | The Verge | SYFYWire
Step into The City of Brass, the spellbinding epic fantasy debut from S. A. Chakraborty, an imaginative alchemy of The Golem and the Jinni, The Grace of Kings, and Uprooted, in which the future of a magical Middle Eastern kingdom rests in the hands of a clever and defiant young con artist with miraculous healing gifts.
Nahri has never believed in supernatural magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, this female protagonist is a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by—palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing—are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive.
But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, this portal fantasy adventure catapults her into a world she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs. For Dara tells Nahri an extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire and rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises and mountains where the circling birds of prey are more than what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass—a hidden city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound.
In Daevabad, within gilded brass walls laced with enchantments and behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments and political intrigue run deep. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, her arrival threatens to ignite a war that has been simmering for centuries.
Spurning Dara’s warning of the treachery surrounding her, she embarks on a hesitant friendship with Alizayd, an idealistic prince who dreams of rebellion. All too soon, Nahri learns that true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics in this high fantasy world. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences.

About the book
I’m the Human Queen in a world ruled by shifters—and every beast wants me dead.
When a brutal pack invades my castle, I escape to the one place no enemy dares follow: the territory of the infamous Blood Pack. Their Alpha is ruthless. Their laws are brutal. And now they think I’m one of them.
To survive, I must become a monster in disguise.
But pretending to be a shifter is dangerous enough. Pretending not to fall for the Blood Alpha? Impossible.
As his chosen mate, I’m tangled in lies, secrets, and deadly desire. If they discover who I really am, I’ll suffer a fate worse than death.
Soul of the Pack is a swoony, savage shifter romance where survival means seduction—and the queen plays her most dangerous role yet.

Haunted cities.
City of Stone and Silence
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Haunted cities. Undead horrors. Dangerous magic. In City of Stone and Silence, Isoka must escape the cursed Harbor, while her sister Tori unearths revolution in the Empire’s shadows.

The ghost ship Soliton has reached its destination—but for Isoka and her crew, the Harbor offers no safe haven.
Surrounded by ancient ziggurats and shrouded in haunting Eddica magic, the Harbor is home to desperate monks, mad rulers, and the cursed dead who rise each night. If Isoka can’t find a way to steal the ship and return to Kahnzoka, her sister’s life is forfeit.
But back in the city, Tori isn’t safe. Secretly wielding the forbidden magic of Kindre, she risks everything to help mage-bloods escape the Emperor’s grasp—and to uncover what really happened to her sister.
As revolution brews and danger closes in from both ends of the empire, the sisters’ fates are intertwined in a battle for survival, freedom, and power.

About the book
Ship of Smoke and Steel is the launch of Django Wexler's cinematic, action-packed epic fantasy Wells of Sorcery trilogy.
A FIERCE WARRIOR. HER DEADLY MAGIC.
AN EPIC MISSION TO STEAL A GHOST SHIP.
In the lower wards of Kahnzoka, the great port city of the Blessed Empire, eighteen-year-old ward boss Isoka enforces the will of her criminal masters with the power of Melos, the Well of Combat. The money she collects goes to keep her little sister living in comfort, far from the bloody streets they grew up on.
When Isoka's magic is discovered by the government, she's arrested and brought to the Emperor's spymaster, who sends her on an impossible mission: steal Soliton, a legendary ghost ship—a ship from which no one has ever returned. If she fails, her sister's life is forfeit.
On board Soliton, nothing is as simple as it seems. Isoka tries to get close to the ship's mysterious captain, but to do it she must become part of the brutal crew and join their endless battles against twisted creatures. She doesn't expect to have to contend with feelings for a charismatic fighter who shares her combat magic, or for a fearless princess who wields an even darker power.
"Truly epic, fierce, and exhilarating, Ship of Smoke and Steel will capture you and lock you away. With magical combat sequences fit for the big screen, the action is almost as breathtaking as the intrigue." —Morgan Rhodes, New York Times bestselling author of the Falling Kingdoms series

The Beast has been unleashed—and Vordan may not survive what comes next.

When he declares himself Emperor, the nation fractures, and every regiment must choose: queen or traitor.
Queen Raesinia fights to preserve her crumbling rule without becoming a tyrant herself. Marcus d’Ivoire marches to war against the man he once revered. And Winter Ihernglass, still reeling from loss, must confront the darkness within her—the only weapon that may stop the Beast’s annihilation.
But defeating Janus might cost more than their lives. It may cost their very souls.

Peace looms—but not for long.
The Guns of Empire
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Peace looms—but not for long. In The Guns of Empire, Queen Raesinia seeks diplomacy while General Janus sees only holy war. With soldiers torn between loyalty and truth, and dark magic rising from the depths of Elysium, the fourth Shadow Campaigns novel is a tense, explosive march toward a reckoning that could reshape the world.

About the book
The war may be ending—but peace is far from guaranteed.
Vordan’s enemies have suffered crushing defeats, and Queen Raesinia is ready to broker a fragile peace. But General Janus bet Vhalnich refuses to believe the Sworn Church will ever relent. He insists their holy war is absolute—and that the Priests of the Black will fight to the last heretic.
Now, soldiers Marcus d’Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass must choose between the queen who champions diplomacy and the general who marches toward a final, brutal conflict. Each must weigh loyalty against conviction—and face the terrible costs of defiance.
As diplomacy falters and darkness stirs in the heart of Elysium, Vordan’s fate hangs by a thread. The next battle could shatter everything.
And something monstrous is waking.
