About the book
A dark, high-heat dystopian romance about a brotherhood of modern-day Vikings from USA Today bestseller Megan Crane. Perfect for fans of Laura Thalassa and L.J. Shen.
In a world of ruin, possession is the only mercy.
Tyr survives the end of the world the way he’s survived everything else—by taking what he wants and never looking back.
Then a resupply raid turns up something unexpected: a fierce, beautiful prisoner who looks at Tyr like she’d rather slit his throat than submit. Tyr’s alpha instincts give way to something much darker—a strong, unquenchable craving that cannot be ignored…or denied. He wants her—too much.
And that’s the most dangerous weakness of all.
Everyone knows these steel-eyed, hardware-wielding, tattooed Viking raiders are monsters. But Helena isn’t scared of monsters, and she has a mission of her own. After two years on the run, she knows she just has to bide her time and escape when the moment is right.
But the man who claims her is nothing like she imagined.
As desire scorches into obsession and enemies close in, Helena has to decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to lose.

About the book
From #1 New York Times bestseller Kresley Cole comes a darkly seductive new series where immortal passion collides with ruthless power.
Beyond the mortal world lies the Skein, a realm of mythic beauty and savage desire ruled by creatures of legend. Here, vampires, witches, demons, and wolves wage war—and hunt their pleasures just as fiercely.
Now, the Accession has begun, an ancient cycle of chaos and destiny that reignites old hostilities and forges fated bonds too hot to resist.
A witch queen on the rise defies the brutal wolf king who stands in her way. But when fate twists their battlefield into a bed of temptation, sworn enemies become something far more perilous. Lovers.
A vampire princess trades her crown for freedom, only to be bound to a scarred Berserker, a man whose possessive touch both terrifies and tempts her.
An incubus spy and a cunning vampiress strike a dangerous bargain for survival, and profit, but lust becomes the one gamble neither expected.
And when a wolf and an enchantress from opposing clans dare to make peace, their forbidden attraction could doom the Skein…or spark a love that defies the gods.
Brimming with intrigue, bloody mayhem, and scorching heat, Ravenous plunges readers into the world of Immortals Untold—where magic kills, surrender triumphs, and immortal hungers can never be sated…

“A delicious tangle of romance, fealty, and dangerous politics.”—Tasha Suri
The Goblin Emperor meets "Magnificent Century" in Alexandra Rowland's A Taste of Gold and Iron, where a queer central romance unfolds in a fantasy world reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire.
Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, finds himself at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court—the body-father of the queen's new child—in an altercation which results in his humiliation.
To prove his loyalty to the queen, his sister, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds, with the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy, and the conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing and bring about its ruin.

About the book
From bestselling author Birdie D'Avo comes a Stand-Alone Reverse Harem Dystopian Urban Romantasy full of dark humor, violence, and a cast of unhinged, morally gray characters.
Kate
I’ve grown used to life in the broken-down city of Fallset. Poverty is pervasive, and everyone is desperate for something. I had nothing, and that was okay. Until one night, three men—lures we call them, magical beings with more power and beauty than they’ve any right to—saved me from a brutal attack, then abandoned me, bleeding in the rain.
I should have forgotten about them, pushed them out of my mind. Especially when bombs started going off in my neighborhood, and I had more important things to worry about than three lures who didn’t want to be found. But our brief encounter fueled an intense urge to see them again. So I spent my nights searching.
Until they reminded me where people like me belonged—on the other side of town, with all the other filthy humans. When I’m finally ready to let go and stop chasing the three lures who don’t want me, I meet another man. But this one’s not like the others…
Unfortunately, nothing in my life can ever be that simple, and when reality is grim, temptations are hard to resist.
This is an MFMMM (no MM) reverse harem urban romantasy set in a dystopian future world. It is a complete standalone, with no cliffhanger, multiple POV, multiple partner/extremely graphic sex scenes intended for readers 18+, no cheating, no choosing, with a HEA. There is also, *ahem* unusual male anatomy, knotting, and fated mate bonds. Content warning if you need it: this book includes on page descriptions of or references to violence, gore, assault, and death.

About the book
Swept away to a magical kingdom, one woman’s fate is to be the Elf King’s bride . . . or watch everything she’s ever known fall to ruin.
Fall in love with the Elf King in this enchanting installment of the Married to Magic novels—swoonworthy, escapist standalone reads that combine wondrous fantasy worlds with slow-burn romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Arcana Academy
Luella lives in a quiet village near the border of the land of the humans and the realm of magic, where the townsfolk keep its heavy secret:
The elves come for war or wives.
Once every generation, the Elf King enters Luella's village to take a bride to be his Human Queen, fulfilling a centuries-old treaty that prevents the destruction of humanity itself.
Luella never thought she’d be that woman. Independent, caring, and fiercely devoted to her people, she’s content in her quiet life as a humble herbalist. But when the Elf King arrives—icy, proud, and dangerously handsome—he claims her, and everything changes.
Now, Luella finds herself in the Elf King's domain, Midscape: a land filled with wild magic and unexpected beauty. But Midscape is dying, and only Luella can save it.
There's more to Luella than she ever imagined, and more to her fate than she dared dream. As the power of Midscape’s Human Queen stirs within her, so does an unexpected passion. The kingdom has found a way into her heart… as has its mysterious Elf King himself.
Luella didn't choose to be the Human Queen. But will she choose to love her new kingdom—and her new husband?
Includes a bonus scene, "Springtime Rites," from Eldas' point of view

Fated mates, supernaturals of all kinds, a heroine who has no idea what she is, and an evil who is out for them all.

They say they’re here to give me a fresh start in a place where I’m safe, warm, and cared for. And I can’t deny the pull I feel to all five of them. The buzz that lights beneath my skin when they touch me. And for the first time, I feel like I might belong.
But not everything is as it seems. These guys have secrets. Ones that will rip my world wide open. But when a dark evil begins stalking us, we’re all in for the fight of our lives…

About the book
From internet sensation Lindsay Straube comes the first in a searing romantasy series where survival demands submission, and desire is the most dangerous game of all.
Temperance Verus has never been kissed—not exactly ideal for a girl competing in the palace's most closely watched matchmaking ritual. Every year, a select group is invited to bond with the realm's magical basilisks and train in the art of charm, poise, and influence. The prize? A chance to win the prince's favor—and a life of privilege.
Tem expects rules, gowns, and etiquette.
She doesn't expect her assigned partner to be Caspen—the Serpent King, commanding, mysterious, and anything but safe. As he pushes her to unlock the strength she never knew she had, Tem finds herself drawn into something deeper, stranger, and far more powerful than royal approval.
But not all bonds are built for the court, and some secrets are meant to break them.
Readers call it "feral, spicy, and unforgettably bold." For fans of morally grey monsters, slow-burn fantasy romance, and stories that subvert the fairytale script.

About the book
INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES (LONDON) BESTSELLER
For fans of Naomi Novik and Kerri Maniscalco, “a slow-burn dark academia filled with delicious yearning, dripping with atmosphere, and a compelling mystery” (Ellis Hunter, author of Blood Bound) about a death mage who hates her magic and a poison mage who hates her that are forced to work together to stop a killer before one of them is next.
Everything about Sylas Archyr feels like a sin.
Born with the ability to speak with the dead, Viola’s magic killed her sister, Olivia, and if she doesn’t learn why, it will kill her too. Her only hope lies within the perilous walls of Gorhail Institute of Magic, where Olivia spent her final days.
There, Viola clashes with Sylas, a poison mage whose magic stems from three magical snakes. Immortal, tormented, and reckless, Sylas is tethered to a life he never asked for and haunted by guilt for his father’s death. His hatred for death mages runs deep, and he’s determined to keep Viola at a distance. But when an attack forces him to heal her, their fates become intertwined by a magical bond that threatens to upend his loyalties—and his common sense.
As more students start turning up dead, Viola and Sylas are drawn into an uneasy alliance that pulls them deeper into Gorhail’s treacherous passageways, where secrets fester beneath the stone and the dead do not rest. And as enemy lines begin to blur and their undeniable attraction grows, Viola and Sylas uncover a chilling conspiracy: someone is hunting mages for their magical relics, and if they can’t uncover the killer in time, Viola will be next.

Every fifty years, a deadly quest opens the gates to Starside, where magic can be claimed instead of inherited. Aris enters with a modest little plan: survive the competition and kill the gods who destroyed her family.

About the book
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
From Alex Aster, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Lightlark series, comes her first adult romantasy. Enter the world of Starside, where swords wield magic and power is not inherited...but claimed.
Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals—the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic.
Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life. Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance. As a child, a goddess set fire to her village, killing her family. Aris isn’t after the gods’ magic—she’s going to kill them.
First, she must survive the Culling, the king’s deadly competition to choose his fifty challengers. An orphaned blacksmith’s apprentice, Aris doesn’t have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords—ones that contain power—are not inherited or bought, they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor—but a target.
Getting past the gates is only the beginning. Starside is deadlier than it seems. If the ancient creatures, magic-wielding beasts, and bloodthirsty immortals weren’t dangerous enough, a new peril has even immortals fearing what rises from the ground at night. With a blade most would kill to claim, Aris can’t trust anyone. Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious king’s guard who betrayed her years ago—and who may now be the key to her survival.
But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family’s death. And when it’s revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what’s coming…

About the book
Violet Ambrose is grappling with two major issues: Jay Heaton and her morbid secret ability. While the sixteen-year-old is confused by her new feelings for her best friend since childhood, she is more disturbed by her "power" to sense dead bodiesor at least those that have been murdered. Since she was a little girl, she has felt the echoes the dead leave behind in the world . . . and the imprints that attach to their killers.
Violet has never considered her strange talent to be a gift; it mostly just led her to find dead birds her cat left for her. But now that a serial killer is terrorizing her small town, and the echoes of the local girls he's claimed haunt her daily, Violet realizes she might be the only person who can stop him.
Despite his fierce protectiveness over her, Jay reluctantly agrees to help Violet find the murdererand Violet is unnerved by her hope that Jay's intentions are much more than friendly. But even as she's falling intensely in love, Violet is getting closer and closer to discovering a killer . . . and becoming his prey herself.
