About the book
Elmerah is a swamp-dwelling Arthali witch with no interest in empires, rebellions, or other people in general. But when pirates abduct her and a group of young women bound for slavery, she has no choice but to remind everyone why her kind were exiled in the first place.
She escapes—but not fast enough. The Capital is closer than she’d like, and political plots have a way of pulling in unwilling participants.
The Valeroot elves are nearly extinct. The Empire wants them dead. And Elmerah’s the last person qualified to save anyone.
Now, to stop a blood-soaked war and a dark magical threat rising in secret, she’ll have to face the past she fled—and the sister who betrayed her.
Sometimes saving the world starts in a swamp.

About the book
A young man is transformed into a barbarian fighter in this adventure from "one of the leading masters of epic fantasy" (Publishers Weekly).
Wallie Smith can feel the pain. He goes to the hospital and remembers the doctors and the commotion, but when he wakes up it all seems like a dream. However, if that was a dream, how do you explain waking up in another body and in another world? Little Wallie finds himself in the physique of a barbarian swordsman, accompanied by both an eccentric priest babbling about the Goddess and a voluptuous slave girl. Is this a rude awakening or a dream come true? What in the world will Wallie do now that he has found himself stranded in a strange realm? Well, it just so happens that the Goddess is in need of a swordsman. It will not be easy, but if he succeeds he will have everything he wants. If he does not, things could get ugly. Wallie is reluctant but sees his chance. If only he had the faintest clue as to the adventure he is about to unleash! If only he could imagine the forces that will be out to vanquish him!

The Blade Itself
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure
Our take
Violence follows men who cannot escape what they are, even as war closes in around them. Logen Ninefingers fights to survive a past that refuses to stay buried, Jezal dan Luthar chases hollow glory, and Glokta hunts treason through pain and suspicion. This epic fantasy builds through intersecting lives, moral ambiguity, and rising conflict, where power, survival, and consequence collide.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The first novel in the First Law Trilogy from New York Times bestseller, Joe Abercrombie.
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian—leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle.
But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.
Enter the wizard, Bayaz. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult.
Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.
Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is noir fantasy with a real cutting edge.

The Wretched of Muirwood

Our take
In Muirwood, Lia is an orphan and a “wretched,” forbidden to read or dream beyond the Abbey kitchen. But when a wounded squire lands on her doorstep, she’s thrust into a perilous journey that awakens her hidden magic. Caught between rebels, royalty, and a deadly secret, Lia must decide if she’s ready to rise. A sweeping fantasy perfect for fans of epic heroines.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In the land of Muirwood, Lia has spent her life scrubbing dishes and dodging scorn as a “wretched”—a cast-off orphan forbidden to read, write, or dream beyond the Abbey walls. But when a wounded squire named Colvin collapses at the kitchen door, Lia sees her chance to change her fate.
Hiding him is a risk she’s willing to take. What she doesn’t expect is to be swept into a deadly hunt, caught between a ruthless king, a rebel uprising, and a sheriff who will stop at nothing.
As ancient powers stir and Lia’s own forbidden magic begins to awaken, she must decide whether to remain hidden—or rise and fight for a destiny she never thought was hers to claim.

Choose your retailer
About the book
In Running with the Demon, Terry Brooks does nothing less than revitalize fantasy fiction, inventing the complex and powerful new mythos of the Word and the Void, good versus evil still, but played out in the theater-in-the-round of the “real world” of our present.
On the hottest Fourth of July weekend in decades, two men have come to Hopewell, Illinois, site of a lengthy, bitter steel strike. One is a demon, dark servant of the Void, who will use the anger and frustration of the community to attain a terrible secret goal. The other is John Ross, a Knight of the Word, a man who, while he sleeps, lives in the hell the world will become if he fails to change its course on waking. Ross has been given the ability to see the future. But does he have the power to change it?
At stake is the soul of a fourteen-year-old girl mysteriously linked to both men. And the lives of the people of Hopewell. And the future of the country. This Fourth of July, while friends and families picnic in Sinnissippi Park and fireworks explode in celebration of freedom and independence, the fate of Humanity will be decided . . .
A novel that weaves together family drama, fading innocence, cataclysm, and enlightenment, Running with the Demon will forever change the way you think about the fantasy novel. As believable as it is imaginative, as wondrous as it is frightening, it is a rich, exquisitely-written tale to be savored long after the last page is turned.

Dragon Wing
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
In a shattered world divided into realms of sky, stone, fire, and water, old magic and buried secrets are starting to break loose. Dragon Wing opens in Arianus, where humans, elves, and dwarves fight for survival in a realm of floating islands, scarce water, and dangerous power struggles. As assassins, rebellion, and dark ambition collide, the fate of one realm begins to echo across a much larger mystery tied to the Death Gate itself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .
In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince—by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people—and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus—a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.
