About the book
The acclaimed national and international bestseller
“Epic, romantic, and enthralling from start to finish.”—Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series
“An all-consuming work of literary fantasy that is breathtaking both for its beauty and its suspense."—BookPage, starred review
A captivating and romantic debut epic fantasy inspired by the legend of the Chinese moon goddess, Chang’e, in which a young woman’s quest to free her mother pits her against the most powerful immortal in the realm.
Growing up on the moon, Xingyin is accustomed to solitude, unaware that she is being hidden from the feared Celestial Emperor who exiled her mother for stealing his elixir of immortality. But when Xingyin’s magic flares and her existence is discovered, she is forced to flee her home, leaving her mother behind.
Alone, powerless, and afraid, she makes her way to the Celestial Kingdom, a land of wonder and secrets. Disguising her identity, she seizes an opportunity to learn alongside the emperor’s son, mastering archery and magic, even as passion flames between her and the prince.
To save her mother, Xingyin embarks on a perilous quest, confronting legendary creatures and vicious enemies. But when treachery looms and forbidden magic threatens the kingdom, she must challenge the ruthless Celestial Emperor for her dream—striking a dangerous bargain in which she is torn between losing all she loves or plunging the realm into chaos.
Daughter of the Moon Goddess begins an enchanting duology which weaves ancient Chinese mythology into a sweeping adventure of immortals and magic, of loss and sacrifice—where love vies with honor, dreams are fraught with betrayal, and hope emerges triumphant.

About the book
What if the government’s biggest secrets were locked inside your head?
In a future where data is too dangerous to store digitally, five strangers are chosen for a radical solution: have classified intel encoded into their DNA. As newly minted “Minders,” they each carry the nation’s most explosive truths—off the grid, untraceable, and walking targets.
Given new identities and a fresh start, they’re promised safety and purpose. But each of them harbors secrets of their own—and one among them can’t be trusted.
From the bestselling author of The One, The Minders is a fast-paced, paranoia-fueled thriller that asks how far you'd go to protect what you know—and who you really are when no one else is watching.
Because when everyone’s a secret, who’s keeping score?

About the book
An Instant USA Today Bestseller!
"Our favourite chaos demon & stern brunch daddy return in this delicious, ridiculous, and often poignant romcom about all the ways love can grow." —Talia Hibbert, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
They fake-dated their way into love. Now it's time to face the one thing scarier than falling for someone—figuring out how to stay in love.
From Alexis Hall, the USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, comes a hilariously heartfelt sequel about love, identity, and the absolute madness of wedding season.
Husband Material reunites readers with Luc O'Donnell and Oliver Blackwood as they navigate the next chapter in their beautifully chaotic relationship. They're committed. They're happy. But when everyone around them starts tying the knot—often in extravagant, anxiety-inducing fashion—Luc begins to question whether "forever" needs a formal dress code.
This isn't a story about falling in love. It's about everything that comes after: the growing pains, the missteps, the tender, terrifying truth of building a life together in a world full of expectations.
You'll love its brilliantly British rom-com voice; full of sharp humor, emotional vulnerability, and authentic LGBTQIA+ representation. It's perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and The Charm Offensive.

Necromancer Azul del Arroyo has only one goal: steal her sister back from Death by reclaiming her scattered bones. But Death has other plans, and a dangerously alluring Emissary to enforce them.
As Azul defies the underworld, her path collides with a reluctant courtier serving a child king, a witch who deals in divine bones and stolen dreams, and a long-lost half-brother with secrets that could shatter what’s left of the world.
Long ago, the gods gave their bones to bind the continents together. Now their sacrifice is forgotten, their power fading, and something older and darker is waking beneath the surface.
Azul wanted resurrection. What she got was a rebellion against Death itself.
Some bones are better left buried. But Azul was never one to let go.

It was supposed to be five days of sun-soaked games and influencer-driven debauchery. Instead, paradise turned into something far more sinister.
Ruth didn’t come to Prosperity Island for fun. She came to stay invisible. The only survivor of a cult that made headlines decades ago, she knows how quickly utopia can become a nightmare.
Now, party guests are vanishing. Strange symbols mark the sand. And the legend that gave the island its name feels more like a warning than a myth.
Ruth has spent her life outrunning the past. But this island knows who she is. And it’s not finished with her yet.
As the bonfires burn and the bodies pile up, the real game begins.
