The Satanic Verses
Literary Fiction
Our take
Winner of the Whitbread Prize and banned in several countries, The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie is a dazzling collision of myth, identity, and exile. Lauded for its "verbal pyrotechnics" and bold narrative invention, this 4.0-star masterpiece remains one of the most controversial and essential novels of modern literature. A landmark work. A literary firestorm. Don’t miss it.

About the book
When a terrorist attack brings down a London-bound jet, two Indian actors fall from the sky—one transforming into an angelic figure, the other into something far darker.
Thus begins a surreal and sweeping odyssey through identity, belief, and transformation in The Satanic Verses, Salman Rushdie’s most provocative and acclaimed novel. As Gibreel and Saladin navigate a world of miracles and mayhem, myth and memory, their journey becomes a volatile meditation on faith, immigration, and what it means to exist between worlds.
Censored, celebrated, and globally discussed, this modern masterpiece blends dazzling imagination with razor-sharp social commentary. Verbal fireworks meet psychological insight in a story where nothing is sacred—and everything is questioned.
What happens when belief takes flight—and who survives the fall?

About the book
An unexpected inheritance. A mysterious manor. And the world’s most terrifying HOA.
When recent grad Mathias Mandrake inherits a distant relative’s mansion, he expects creaky floors and cobwebs—not cryptic rules, arcane secrets, and the sudden need for roommates. Thankfully, his best friend Frankie jumps at the chance to leave hookup culture behind for something more domestic (and dilf-adjacent). Rounding out their new household is August, a soft-spoken writer with big dreams and a growing fondness for the chaos that is Mat and Frankie.
But Mandrake Manor holds more than charming oddities. With magic humming beneath the floorboards and an HOA that might actually be homicidal, the trio must stick together—or risk losing everything.
Good thing they’re not just building a home. They’re building a family.
And this house? It’s very much alive.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The Beast has been unleashed—and Vordan may not survive what comes next.
The ancient demon once imprisoned beneath Elysium now spreads like a plague, consuming minds and raising an unstoppable army. At its helm is none other than General Janus bet Vhalnich, once Vordan’s greatest champion—now its greatest threat. When he declares himself Emperor, the nation fractures, and every regiment must choose: queen or traitor.
Queen Raesinia fights to preserve her crumbling rule without becoming a tyrant herself. Marcus d’Ivoire marches to war against the man he once revered. And Winter Ihernglass, still reeling from loss, must confront the darkness within her—the only weapon that may stop the Beast’s annihilation.
But defeating Janus might cost more than their lives. It may cost their very souls.

Peace looms—but not for long.
The Guns of Empire
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Peace looms—but not for long. In The Guns of Empire, Queen Raesinia seeks diplomacy while General Janus sees only holy war. With soldiers torn between loyalty and truth, and dark magic rising from the depths of Elysium, the fourth Shadow Campaigns novel is a tense, explosive march toward a reckoning that could reshape the world.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The war may be ending—but peace is far from guaranteed.
Vordan’s enemies have suffered crushing defeats, and Queen Raesinia is ready to broker a fragile peace. But General Janus bet Vhalnich refuses to believe the Sworn Church will ever relent. He insists their holy war is absolute—and that the Priests of the Black will fight to the last heretic.
Now, soldiers Marcus d’Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass must choose between the queen who champions diplomacy and the general who marches toward a final, brutal conflict. Each must weigh loyalty against conviction—and face the terrible costs of defiance.
As diplomacy falters and darkness stirs in the heart of Elysium, Vordan’s fate hangs by a thread. The next battle could shatter everything.
And something monstrous is waking.

The Thousand Names

Our take
In this explosive start to the Shadow Campaigns series, muskets clash with magic in a sweeping tale of war, identity, and ambition.

In a world where muskets meet magic, rebellion ignites an empire’s deadliest campaign.

Our take
Davi finally ended the cycle of failure—by becoming the Dark Lord. But her armies want blood, a duke plots rebellion, and the time loop isn’t done with her yet.

About the book
After dying more times than she can count, Davi has finally saved the kingdom—by becoming the Dark Lord herself. Now, victory feels suspiciously like failure. The wilders still crave human blood, her armies are restless, and peace seems as distant as ever.

Caught between destiny, destruction, and a very angry girlfriend, Davi faces her greatest challenge yet: fixing the world she broke.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World Except Me delivers a sharp, bloody, and darkly funny finale to Django Wexler’s acclaimed duology.

About the book
A Sunday Times Bestseller!
A 2022 Alex Award Winner!
“Sparks fly” (NPR) in Everina Maxwell’s gut-wrenching and romantic space opera debut.
Prince Kiem, a famously disappointing minor royal and the Emperor's least favorite grandchild, has been called upon to be useful for once. He's commanded to fulfill an obligation of marriage to the representative of the Empire's newest and most rebellious vassal planet. His future husband, Count Jainan, is a widower and murder suspect.
Neither wants to be wed, but with a conspiracy unfolding around them and the fate of the empire at stake they will have to navigate the thorns and barbs of court intrigue, the machinations of war, and the long shadows of Jainan's past, and they'll have to do it together.
So begins a legendary love story amid the stars.
Like Ancillary Justice meets Red, White and Royal Blue, Winter’s Orbit is perfect for fans of Lois McMaster Bujold.
“High-pitched noises escaped me; I shouted, more than once, 'Now kiss!' ... in a world so relentlessly uncertain, there’s a powerfully simple pleasure in the experience of a promise kept.” —The New York Times Book Review
