Choose your retailer
About the book
The gods sent monsters to remind mortals to kneel—and Princess Soreya has done exactly that. To her father. To her crown. To a future she never chose.
But everything changes the day a monster hunter arrives at her father’s court, a blood treaty is sealed, and Soreya is forced into a political marriage that binds her to a war-torn realm and a husband she can’t trust.
Now she’s crossing cursed lands with a warrior who resents her, hunted by creatures born of ancient wrath. Everyone wants to use her—as a queen, a pawn, a sacrifice.
But Soreya isn’t playing along. Not anymore.
Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn romantasy full of enemies-to-lovers tension, court intrigue, and the kind of heroine who finds power in being underestimated—and dares to reach for it.

About the book
Jane Jackson used to be America’s awkward punchline—“Poor Janey Jakes” on a washed-up sitcom with barbecue sauce in her braces. Now she’s a Hollywood exec clinging to a career and a motto: fake it till you make it.
Only problem? She faked it too far. To get her first movie greenlit, Jane told a tiny lie: she can convince mega pop star (and former kiss/greatest personal humiliation) Jack Quinlan to write the film’s theme. She hasn’t spoken to him in twenty years.
Enter Dan Finnegan—her smug childhood crush turned inconveniently handsome cinematographer. He’s got the connection she needs and a front-row seat to her unraveling.
From USA Today bestselling author Annabel Monaghan comes a laugh-out-loud second-chance rom-com about past cringe, present chaos, and the unexpected truth hiding in fake-it love.

About the book
Maya Killgore is 23, broke, and not entirely sure what she’s doing with her life. Conor Harkness is 38, wildly successful, and her brother’s best friend—the kind of man who’s very off-limits and very impossible to stop thinking about.
He says the power dynamic makes things too messy. She says so does sharing a villa in Sicily for a week.
But between scenic coastal hikes, wedding chaos, and tension so thick it could ruin a risotto, Maya starts to see cracks in Conor’s armor—and signs he might not be as immune to her as he claims.
From New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood comes a slow-burn, brother’s-best-friend romance with sunshine, secrets, and a forbidden summer fling you’ll root for to the very last page.

About the book
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
"Prepare to meet your next obsession." — Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals
From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy sensation, a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a young prophetess forced on an impossible quest with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Leigh Bardugo.
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.

About the book
In this classic novel by the Science Fiction Grand Master, a writer searching for explanations uncovers the existence of mutants and multiple Earths: "First-rate Simak" (The New York Times).
Author Jay Vickers would like nothing more than to be left alone so he can finish his next book. But "there's something strange going on," as his peculiar neighbor, Horton Flanders, says. For instance, the market is filling with new inventions that supposedly last forever—cars, razors, cigarette lighters, and more. Individuals and whole families are disappearing. Soon, even Mr. Flanders vanishes—but not before leaving Vickers a note.
Following Flanders's advice, Vickers travels to his childhood home, where he makes a fantastic discovery. It is a mere child's toy, a brightly colored whistling top. But for Jay Vickers, it leads to other worlds and answers all his questions. What happened to all the vanished people? Who is behind these helpful inventions? And what sort of being would want to stop them. . . ?

Choose your retailer
About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev comes the heartfelt story of a woman determined to reunite a lost ring with its owner, who ends up finding herself along the way.
Mira Salvi has the perfect life—a job she loves, a fiancé everyone adores, and the secure future she’s always imagined for herself. Really, she hasn’t a thing to complain about, not even when she has to go on her engagement trip to New York alone.
While playing tourist in the city, Mira chances upon a lost ring, and her social media post to locate its owner goes viral. With everyone trying to claim the ring, only one person seems to want to find its owner as badly as Mira does: journalist Krish Hale. Brooding and arrogant, he will do anything to get to write this story.
As Krish and Mira reluctantly join forces and jump into the adventure of tracing the ring back to where it belongs, Mira begins to wonder if she is in the right place in her own life. She had to have found this ring for a reason…right? Maybe, like the owner of the lost ring, her happy ending hasn’t been written yet either.

One minute I was sipping cocktails in Vegas. The next? I woke up in an elven realm, collared by a brooding king who claims I made a magical blood pact… in a past life.

Now the Moon Court wants me dead, wraiths stalk the shadows, and my so-called protector isn’t telling me everything.

About the book
In a 1970s logging town carved into California’s redwood coast, Colleen and Rich Gundersen are trying to hold onto hope.
Rich, a third-generation tree-topper, makes a bold gamble on a plot of old-growth forest—an inheritance for their young son, Chub. But Colleen, a midwife haunted by miscarriages, suspects the herbicides used by the logging company are poisoning their land—and their bodies.
As environmental suspicion collides with tradition, and a town built on timber begins to fracture, Colleen and Rich are drawn into a quiet war that could cost them everything they’re fighting to preserve.
Damnation Spring is a masterfully told, emotionally resonant portrait of marriage, motherhood, and a community on the brink. A national bestseller and critical favorite, it’s a novel as enduring as the redwoods themselves.

A lone survivor.
Thrum
Sci-Fi · First Contact
Our take
A lone survivor. A mysterious alien rescuer. A ship that whispers. In this haunting sci-fi thriller, Ami wakes in deep space to find her crew gone and help arriving from something—or someone—not quite human. As the ship pulses with secrets, she must uncover the truth before it consumes her. Atmospheric, eerie, and impossible to put down.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ami awakens alone. Her crew is gone. Her ship drifts at the far edge of deep space, light-years from help—and no way to contact Earth.
Desperate, she sends a distress beacon into the void.
When the reply comes, it’s from Dorian, a mysterious alien who offers her sanctuary aboard his ship. Polite. Helpful. Almost too perfect. But as Ami explores the strange corridors of her new surroundings, she begins to notice oddities—doors that lead nowhere, echoes that follow her, and a low hum she can’t explain.
The ship feels alive. And it’s watching.
As first contact turns to unease, Ami must unravel the truth behind Dorian, the whispers in the walls, and what really happened to her crew—before she becomes the next to vanish.
