The war is over. The empire is ashes. Or so everyone thought.
Keira barely survived the regulators of the Unified Planetary Government. Now she's stranded aboard the Seringapatam, a ghost ship from the dying days of the First Galactic Empire—one still loyal to a mission that began before her birth.
With allies dead or dying and a strange new power awakening inside her, Keira learns the ship’s true objective: recover the mythical Infinity Controller, hidden deep within a planet’s core.
She’s been named heir to an empire that may no longer exist, caught between the agendas of a wary crew, the remnants of a fallen dynasty, and the return of a relentless enemy.
The stakes? Control of the galaxy.
And she doesn’t even trust herself.

About the book
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY TIME AND THE WASHINGTON POST • LOCUS AWARD WINNER
“The Shattered Seas trilogy has worked its way into a very exclusive group of my favorite fantasy novels of all time.”—James Dashner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner
“A fast-paced tale of betrayal and revenge that grabbed me from page 1 and refused to let go.”—George R. R. Martin
“I swore an oath to avenge the death of my father. I may be half a man, but I swore a whole oath.”
Prince Yarvi has vowed to regain a throne he never wanted. But first he must survive cruelty, chains, and the bitter waters of the Shattered Sea. And he must do it all with only one good hand.
The deceived will become the deceiver.
Born a weakling in the eyes of his father, Yarvi is alone in a world where a strong arm and a cold heart rule. He cannot grip a shield or swing an axe, so he must sharpen his mind to a deadly edge.
The betrayed will become the betrayer.
Gathering a strange fellowship of the outcast and the lost, he finds they can do more to help him become the man he needs to be than any court of nobles could.

But even with loyal friends at his side, Yarvi finds that his path may end as it began—in twists, and traps, and tragedy.

A must-read for anyone who’s ever believed in second acts and Disney magic.
If You Would Have Told Me
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
In his New York Times–bestselling memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, John Stamos gets raw about fame, heartbreak, and finding himself again. With stories from Full House, ER, and the Beach Boys, it’s funny, emotional, and full of star-studded surprises. A must-read for anyone who’s ever believed in second acts and Disney magic.
Choose your retailer
About the book
John Stamos never imagined he'd become a household name—or that fame would come with such a steep price.
From flipping burgers at his dad’s diner to melting hearts on General Hospital and Full House, Stamos became a teen idol overnight. But behind the smile and perfect hair was a man struggling with loneliness, heartbreak, and reinvention.
In If You Would Have Told Me, Stamos pulls back the curtain on his decades-long career, his unforgettable friendships (hello, Beach Boys), and the moments that nearly broke him.
Wry, moving, and unexpectedly vulnerable, this New York Times bestseller is more than a celebrity memoir—it’s a love story to the messy, magical process of becoming who you’re meant to be.

He Who Fights with Monsters is the genre-bending isekai sensation with 13M+ Royal Road views and 4.7 stars on Amazon.
He Who Fights with Monsters
Fantasy · Cyberpunk
Our take
He Who Fights with Monsters is the genre-bending isekai sensation with 13M+ Royal Road views and 4.7 stars on Amazon. Middle manager Jason wakes up in a monster-filled fantasy world—with suspiciously evil powers and no pants. Equal parts hilarious, violent, and clever, it’s the LitRPG adventure fans can’t stop leveling up.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Jason woke up in a new world. No job. No clue. No pants.
One day he’s a middle manager in an office supply store, the next he’s dropped into a realm of monsters, magic, and mayhem. And while most summoned heroes come armed with holy light or noble strength, Jason’s powers? Well… let’s just say they’re more morally flexible.
Armed with sarcasm, snark, and a suspiciously villainous skillset, Jason faces cults, cannibals, and chaos on his first day alone. But if this world thinks it can break him, it’s in for a surprise.
Adapted from the massively popular Royal Road serial (13M+ views), He Who Fights with Monsters is a wild ride of dark humor, RPG mechanics, and reluctant heroism.
First rule of adventuring? Get pants.

Good for readers who want military thrillers with conspiracies, covert operations, and an origin story built around betrayal.
Noble Beginnings
Mystery · Thriller
Our take
Jack Noble is a CIA-trained Marine operator whose life in Baghdad turns into a fight for survival after a dead family, a manufactured story, and a relentless hunt expose a deeper system of control, with a 4.0-star rating from more than 38,000 Amazon reviewers. Good for readers who want military thrillers with conspiracies, covert operations, and an origin story built around betrayal.
Choose your retailer
About the book
They trained Jack Noble to do the unthinkable. Then they tried to erase him.
Jack Noble is the product of a CIA-sponsored pipeline that takes Marines early, sharpens them into operators, and uses them where paperwork can’t go.
In Baghdad, that life is already brutal. Then one night flips the board: a dead family, a manufactured narrative, and a hunt that doesn’t end at the battlefield.
Jack’s instincts say disappear. His conscience says fight back. And the more he sees how far they will go, the more he understands the truth: this isn’t about justice. It’s about control.
When the last door to a normal life closes, a new one opens. It comes with a simple job title and a future that pays in blood.
For fans of Jason Bourne, Jack Reacher, and Gray Man, this is Jack Noble’s origin.

From the author of How to Survive at the End of the World comes a hilariously bleak isekai where the chosen one arrives thousands of years too late.
Deadworld Isekai
Sci-Fi · Post-Apocalyptic
Our take
From the author of How to Survive at the End of the World comes a hilariously bleak isekai where the chosen one arrives thousands of years too late. With 4.7 stars on Amazon, this offbeat survival fantasy blends deadpan humor, existential dread, and stat-crunching chaos on a lifeless planet. Paradise is canceled.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Matt was supposed to die of terminal cancer. Instead, he got isekai’d—courtesy of a wisecracking truck-turned-avatar—and sent to a paradise world in need of a hero.
There’s just one problem: Gaia is dead. Like, post-apocalyptic, no-oxygen, welcome-to-sand-and-silence dead.
Armed with a full stat sheet, maxed-out survival skills, and absolutely zero context, Matt’s stuck on a barren rock with nothing to kill, no quests to complete, and no idea if this is some cosmic joke or the worst isekai placement of all time.
But Gaia might not be completely empty after all. And if Matt wants to survive—hell, if he wants to matter—he’ll have to turn a broken world into something worth living for.
Even if it kills him. Again.

She’s a baking show contestant.
Stone Virus
Dystopian
Our take
She’s a baking show contestant. Not a survivor. But when a deadly outbreak traps her alone, Laney has to face a collapsing world head-on. Stone Virus by Jacqueline Druga (4.4 stars on Amazon!) is a gripping viral apocalypse tale where panic spreads faster than the infection. Ordinary turns extraordinary when survival is the only option. Start reading now.
Choose your retailer
About the book
One minute, Laney’s baking for glory on a reality show. The next, she’s alone in a darkened city, cut off from the world—and caught in a viral nightmare.
When a violent, fast-spreading outbreak erupts, Laney is left behind during a chaotic evacuation. No phone. No internet. No idea the virus causes its victims to burn with a deadly, uncontrollable rage before it kills them.
She’s no survivalist. She’s no hero. Just a girl with a backpack, a rolling pin, and a desperate need to get home.
But everything changes when Laney finds Nika—a frightened child who needs her. Suddenly, surviving isn’t enough. Now, Laney has someone to protect.
Stone Virus is a heart-pounding viral apocalypse thriller about ordinary people, impossible odds, and the courage it takes to rise in the darkest times.

Choose your retailer
About the book
One minute, I’m handling angry insurance clients in California. The next, I’m heir to the British throne.
Thanks to my scandal-prone family, I’ve gone from American nobody to Prince of Wales—and Britain is less than thrilled. I promised the queen I’d save the monarchy from total collapse, but I didn’t count on royal traditions, backstabbing courtiers, or aggressive swans.
Then there’s Oliver Hartwell: the devastatingly brilliant prime minister who’s as off-limits as he is irresistible.
Our flirtation starts innocently—supportive texts, friendly banter. But it’s hard to stay neutral when every glance feels like a promise.
I said I’d protect the crown. I didn’t mean from my own heart.
A swoony, slow-burn MM romance full of royal chaos, forbidden longing, and political complications.

About the book
A forgotten tomb. A team of thieves. A heist written in the sands of time.
When Egyptologist Harold Barnaby uncovers ancient hieroglyphs pointing to the lost tomb of a pharaoh, he sees more than history—he sees opportunity. Instead of alerting authorities, Barnaby assembles a team of rogues and risk-takers to plunder the treasure for themselves.
Among them: a thrill-seeking writer, a smuggler with a shady past, an international thief, and a bored British earl looking for adventure. Together, they set out on a daring mission to loot the greatest archaeological prize ever discovered.
But the desert is unforgiving. The tomb is deadly. And betrayal is just one sandstorm away.
Easy Go is a fast-paced, pulpy adventure from the creator of Jurassic Park, full of danger, wit, and buried secrets.
