Vordan is on the brink.
The Price of Valor
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Vordan is on the brink. As zealots seize control and assassins stalk the queen, war looms—and the enemy wields forbidden magic. The Price of Valor thrusts Janus, Winter, and Raesinia into a deadly game of politics and sorcery. Library Journal calls the series “epic fantasy of military might and magical conflict”—and this installment delivers.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The king is dead. The country is fracturing. And war is coming for them all.
Queen Raesinia Orboan wears the crown, but power lies elsewhere—held by zealots in the Deputies-General and dark forces behind the throne. Besieged by assassins and stripped of authority, she refuses to watch Vordan slip into another tyranny.
Meanwhile, General Janus bet Vhalnich readies his forces for a continent-spanning war. But the enemy is not merely political. In the shadows, dark priests from an ancient order unleash forbidden magic to bring Janus down.
Winter Ihernglass, newly promoted and reunited with her found family, must lead her regiment into the teeth of chaos.
The fate of a nation will be forged in fire, sacrifice, and secrets in The Price of Valor, Django Wexler’s searing third entry in The Shadow Campaigns.

A queen rises.
The Shadow Throne
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A queen rises. A tyrant tightens his grip. In The Shadow Throne, Django Wexler returns to his critically acclaimed series with a tale of rebellion, political scheming, and arcane secrets.

About the book
The king is dying. The crown is passing to his daughter. And Vordan is about to burn.
Raesinia is set to become the first Queen Regnant in centuries—but she’s no pawn. Even as Duke Orlanko, the ruthless head of the secret police, tightens his grip on the throne and the kingdom’s darkest magic, Raesinia plays a dangerous game of rebellion beneath his nose.
Fortunately, she’s not playing alone.
War hero Janus bet Vhalnich has returned with Captain Marcus d’Ivoire and Lieutenant Winter Ihernglass—soldiers hardened by war, now thrust into a battle of politics and shadows. Together, they’ll challenge tyranny from within.
But the cost of revolution may be chaos itself.
The Shadow Throne is an explosive follow-up to The Thousand Names, blending gunpowder, magic, and revolution into one thrilling campaign.

Shield of Sparrows
Romantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
A forgotten princess. A cursed realm. A monster hunter who loathes her. Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry (4.5 stars on Amazon!) is a slow-burn romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. If you crave forced proximity, ancient monsters, and a heroine who finally refuses to kneel, grab this high-stakes fantasy now.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The gods sent monsters to remind mortals to kneel—and Princess Soreya has done exactly that. To her father. To her crown. To a future she never chose.
But everything changes the day a monster hunter arrives at her father’s court, a blood treaty is sealed, and Soreya is forced into a political marriage that binds her to a war-torn realm and a husband she can’t trust.
Now she’s crossing cursed lands with a warrior who resents her, hunted by creatures born of ancient wrath. Everyone wants to use her—as a queen, a pawn, a sacrifice.
But Soreya isn’t playing along. Not anymore.
Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn romantasy full of enemies-to-lovers tension, court intrigue, and the kind of heroine who finds power in being underestimated—and dares to reach for it.

Dragon’s Kiss

About the book
Every month, a dragon comes. Every month, a child disappears. Kalma calls it fate. Semra calls it a lie.
Stolen as a child and raised by a dragonlord deep in the mountains, Semra was trained to be a killer—one of many. But at seventeen, she uncovers a truth that turns her entire world upside down: she’s not fighting evil… she is the evil.
Now she’s done taking orders. To stop the dragonlord, Semra must betray everything she’s ever known—and take on the assassins she once called family.
With kingdoms on the brink of war, Dragon’s Kiss kicks off a no-spice fantasy series bursting with dragons, danger, and a heroine with blades and backbone. One girl. One rebellion. And the fire to bring it all down.

Tencendor is gone, but the battle has only begun.
The Twisted Citadel
Fantasy · Romantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Tencendor is gone, but the battle has only begun. In The Serpent Bride, the first volume of Sara Douglass’s DarkGlass Mountain trilogy, old heroes face new legends as gods awaken, alliances shift, and ancient magic stirs. A sweeping epic of war, legacy, and celestial power in a world where even the stars have secrets.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Tencendor has fallen. The land lies in ruin, and only a handful of SunSoars remain.
From the ashes, a new generation rises. Priestess Ishbel Brunelle, the war-hardened Isaiah of Isembaard, and Lord Maximilian of Elcho Falling must rally their fractured world as the dark god Kanubai awakens and the monstrous Skraelings swarm across the land, guided by the sinister force known as DarkGlass Mountain.
Old bloodlines stir. The Star Dance calls. And the Lealfast—long-lost kin to the winged Icarii—return, their allegiances uncertain. Amid suspicion and looming war, Axis SunSoar revives his legendary Strike Force for one final stand.
Sara Douglass weaves legacy, conflict, and myth into a sweeping fantasy of fading light and rising darkness—where salvation may come at the edge of a blade or the whisper of a forgotten star.

A soldier turned tavern guard.
The Queen’s Blade
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A soldier turned tavern guard. A kingdom on the brink. A destiny forged in magic. The Queen’s Blade kicks off a gripping fantasy saga full of reluctant heroes, court intrigue, and forgotten power. Fans of morally gray protagonists and slow-burn worldbuilding will devour this one. Click now and follow Zaren Joha as he picks up the blade he swore to lay down.
Choose your retailer
About the book
He walked away from war. But war didn’t walk away from him.
Zaren Joha was once a soldier—disciplined, deadly, and disillusioned. Now he keeps peace in a quiet riverside tavern, trading command for calm and blades for ale. It’s not a grand life, but it’s his.
Until Waleith arrives.
Mysterious, calculating, and wielding authority straight from the Queen’s inner circle, Waleith pulls Zaren into a world of vanishing outposts, forbidden magic, and assassins cloaked in royal approval. What begins as a simple job quickly spirals into something far darker.
Old instincts resurface. So do old enemies.
As ancient forces stir and political tides shift, Zaren must face the truth: strength alone won’t save him—or those he’s grown to care for. To survive, he must become more than a soldier.
He must become the Queen’s Blade.

Choose your retailer
About the book
How far would you go, and what lines would you cross, simply to survive?
Malina of Hastia has been thrust into a living nightmare … a brutal trial of selection within the Mountain of Souls, where failure means a gruesome death, and even survival only guarantees another day of suffering.
Cursed with yellow eyes and deathly pale skin, she is frail and certain to die, broken and forgotten like so many before her … without even knowing why.
Yet fate has other, more sinister plans for Malina than a quick death, and as the truth behind her incarceration is slowly revealed, she discovers the Mountain is not a prison, but a forge.
Those who survive its trials are remade into The Chosen: a fearsome cohort of assassins trained in blade, deceit, and enchantment, bound to fulfil an ancient prophecy that promises to save humankind.
But survival has a price.
To live, Malina must embrace killing. To rise, she must forget mercy. To become one of The Chosen, she must surrender her very soul.
But if survival costs her everything that once made her human, what kind of monster will Malina become when she finally leaves the Mountain?

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Nearly twenty years ago, Robin Hobb burst upon the fantasy scene with the first of her acclaimed Farseer novels, Assassin’s Apprentice, which introduced the characters of FitzChivalry Farseer and his uncanny friend the Fool. A watershed moment in modern fantasy, this novel—and those that followed—broke exciting new ground in a beloved genre. Together with George R. R. Martin, Robin Hobb helped pave the way for such talented new voices as Scott Lynch, Brandon Sanderson, and Naomi Novik.
Over the years, Hobb’s imagination has soared throughout the mythic lands of the Six Duchies in such bestselling series as the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Rain Wilds Chronicles. But no matter how far she roamed, her heart always remained with Fitz. And now, at last, she has come home, with an astonishing new novel that opens a dark and gripping chapter in the Farseer saga.
FitzChivalry—royal bastard and former king’s assassin—has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire.
Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz’s past . . . and his future.
Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one. . . .
Praise for Fool’s Assassin
“Hobb knows the complicated workings of the wayward human heart, and she takes time to depict them in her tale, to tell her story sweetly, insistently, compellingly. . . . A book meant to be inhabited rather than run through.”—The Seattle Times
“[FitzChivalry Farseer is] one of the best characters in fantasy literature.”—Fantasy Book Review
“[Hobb’s] prose sparkles, her characters leap off the page.”—Tordotcom
“Modern fantasy at its irresistible best.”—The Guardian
“Fantastic . . . emotionally rich storytelling.”—Library Journal (starred review)

About the book
'Brilliant and vivid world-building . . . riveting' CHAD STAHELSKI, director of John Wick
'A masterful blend of Sebastien de Castell's unique brand of wry humour, elegant prose, and wonderfully imaginative worldbuilding. I devoured this book and loved every page' NICK EAMES, bestselling author of Kings of the Wylde
From the bestselling author of THE GREATCOATS: seven war mages with dark pasts must come together to fight an unknown enemy - but the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine . . . and someone's setting the seven up for a fall.
Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes. There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. The hat's a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing. Wouldn't want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object).
Yep. Behold the mighty wizard.
Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you're probably not going to like it, because we're violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations.
My name is Cade Ombra, and though I currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist, I used to have a far more noble-sounding job title - until I discovered the people I worked for weren't quite as noble as I'd believed. Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent.
Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .

Under brutal training, Veron hones skills he never imagined—stealth, swordplay, and something even more dangerous: purpose. But as an ancient enemy threatens the kingdom from beyond the mountains, Veron must rise faster than he’s ready.
Balancing street survival, deadly training, and the spark of ambition, Veron must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything to save a kingdom that never cared if he lived.
