The sun is dying, bloated and diseased, and with it humanity fades.
In Shadrapar, the last city on Earth, fewer than 100,000 souls survive among the ruins of countless fallen civilizations. It is a place of prisons and asylums, a city built on desperation. Here lives Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, and reluctant witness to the end of the world.
From the scorched deserts to the fetid jungles to the labyrinths below the earth, Stefan’s journey drags him through a landscape where monsters, madmen, and mutants thrive. Each step reveals a world that no longer belongs to humanity.

About the book
The planet Erna was meant to be humanity’s new home. Instead, it became a nightmare.
Settled more than a thousand years ago, Erna is alive with the fae, an elemental force that twists human fears and desires into reality. Nightmares walk in the open, and dreams can kill. Humanity survives only through fragile stalemates and dangerous bargains with power.
Now, the balance is crumbling. As dark fae hordes grow, four unlikely allies are bound together: a priest guided by faith, an adept who walks the line of morality, a young apprentice still learning his power, and a sorcerer who wields the fae at great risk.
Their mission will pit them against a rising evil that feeds on humanity itself.

Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that has weighty consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished. In her search for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked into the historical mystery, she discovers that she’s not the only person looking for someone that they’ve lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

About the book
New York Times bestselling author Tijan delivers a bold romance about two people wrestling with emotional trauma, thrown into a deadly—and heated—power dynamic when the mafia comes after them both.
Every bride dreams of her wedding day.
Today was supposed to be that day for me, except it’s not me marrying my college sweetheart.
My best friend is doing that. Or, well, my ex–best friend.
Instead, I’m over a thousand miles away, riding the subway in a city where lost people come to dream.
Me—I’m just hoping to distract myself from my heartbreak.
That is, until I met Jake Worthing.
Grumpy.
Hot.
A total jerk.
Did I mention hot?
Also, extremely presumptuous.
Just because I look like I’m a thought away from a total meltdown does not mean I need an ambulance.
He had the audacity to ask if I needed medical treatment.
Well, good riddance to him.
I don’t ever have to see him again.
Except, well, I do when I’m taken to the police station for a total misunderstanding.
He walks in and…gah. He’s the same that I remember from our first meeting.
Brooding. Still gorgeous. (The universe is not fair sometimes.)
He’s stirring up emotions that I didn’t know were still inside of me.
Then someone tries to shoot him and I’m a witness, and…er, how is it that I’m the one being kidnapped?
And by Jake?
Now I’m heated for a whole different reason.
If I get myself out of this captive situation, I’m going to reign down my own destruction starting with Jake Worthing.
I just have to survive first and, also, not get my heart broken. Again.

Our take
An assassin with poison in her veins must masquerade as a lady to infiltrate a royal pageant, charm a prince, and kill her targets without being unmasked. As desire, danger, and divided loyalties collide, survival demands more than blades and lies. This why choose romantasy delivers slow burn tension, moral conflict, and rising heat.

About the book
I have two rules: survive the Lower City and never get caught. For an Undesirable with poison in her veins, it’s been working just fine. But now, I have a new job: pretend to be a lady, win the affection of a prince at his royal pageant, and eliminate my targets on the side. Easy enough. I can play dress-up with the best of them.
The problem? The prince isn't the pampered royal I expected, and my self-imposed bodyguard, Wolfe, is determined to be the thorn in my side. One offers a crown, the other sees the monster I really am.
This is a why-choose romantasy trilogy with a building harem.

About the book
Jesse
After years of working my butt off, I’m finally living the life I always wanted. I have a job I love, friends who’ve become family, and I’m enjoying the freedom of being single.
Then Sebastian, my childhood rival, moves back to town and my perfect life is thrown into chaos. We’ve always hated each other, but now there’s something else between us. Something wild and primal, something that wants to make Sebastian submit as much as it wants to claim him.
Hooking up with the guy I hate is probably the stupidest thing I’ve done, and that’s saying a lot. But it’s hard to remember why it’s a bad idea when he’s the only person who’s ever made me lose control, and the only man I can’t stay away from.
Sebastian
Retiring from the music industry at twenty-five wasn’t in my long-term plans. Neither was moving home after being away for seven years. But here I am with a serious case of burnout and no idea what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I hoped that moving back would give me a chance to shed my public persona and just be Sebastian again, but that doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon.
The only thing in my life that makes sense is my old rivalry with Jesse, the guy I’ve hated since we were eight. Arguing with him is as exhilarating as it is familiar, and no one is more surprised than me when a fight leads to our first kiss, then more.
Jesse may be the most annoying person I’ve ever known, but the tension between us is too strong to ignore. I hate that I want him but love that he can’t stay away from me either.
Jesse and Sebastian’s book is an enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a mechanic with a secret, and a retired musician looking for his place in the world. You can expect hurt/comfort, forced proximity, ‘there’s only one bed’, found family, lots of heat, tons of dirty talk, primal play, hate s*x, and fighting as these two childhood rivals figure out that sometimes what you need has been in front of you all along. It is the first book in the exciting new Legacy Mechanics series but can be read as a standalone.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A princess in exile, a shapeshifting dragon, six enchanted cranes, and an unspeakable curse... Drawing from fairy tales and East Asian folklore, this original fantasy from the author of Spin the Dawn is perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone.
"A dazzling fairytale full of breathtaking storytelling." --Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted. But it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.
A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes. She warns Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die.
Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon, and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to forswear--no matter what the cost.
Weaving together elements of The Wild Swans, Cinderella, the legend of Chang E, and the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Elizabeth Lim has crafted a fantasy like no other, and one that will stay with readers long after they've turned the last page.
"A stunning remake of a fairytale. Six Crimson Cranes is the perfect blend of whimsy and ferociousness, with twists and turns that will tug at your heartstrings." —Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
"Fast-paced excitement is balanced with a satisfyingly intricate plot that weaves in elements from Western fairy tales and East Asian folklore." —SLJ, starred review
