About the book
An epic fantasy series for fans of George R. R. Martin and Robin Hobb!
Rescued from the undercity, young orphan Jewel “Jay” Markett contends with deadly court politics and visions of looming magical threats.
Orphaned and left to fend for herself in the slums of Averalaan, Jewel Markess—Jay to her friends—meets an unlikely savior in Rath, a man who prowls the ruins of the undercity.
Nursing Jay back to health is an unusual act for a man who renounced his own family long ago, and the situation becomes stranger still when Jay begins to form a den of other rescued children in Rath’s home.
But worse perils lurk beneath the slums: the demons that once nearly destroyed the Essalieyan Empire are stirring again, and soon Rath and Jay will find themselves targets of these unstoppable beings.

A good pick for readers who want to return to Maguire's darker, revisionist version of Oz and follow the next generation after Elphaba.
Son of a Witch
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Contemporary Fiction
Our take
A New York Times bestseller, Liir is left for dead after the events of Wicked and must confront questions about his connection to Elphaba, his missing half-sister, and his place in a politically unstable Oz, with a 3.5-star average from more than 72,300 Goodreads ratings. A good pick for readers who want to return to Maguire's darker, revisionist version of Oz and follow the next generation after Elphaba.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The New York Times bestselling sequel to Wicked, the multimillion-copybestseller and basis for the #1 smash hit movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
When a Witch dies—not as a crone, withered and incapable, but as a woman in her prime, at the height of her passion and prowess—too much is left unsaid. What might have happened had Elphaba lived? Of her campaigns in defense of the Animals, of her appetite for justice, of her talent for magic itself, what good might have come? If every death is a tragedy, the death of a woman in her prime keenly bereaves the whole world.
Gregory Maguire returns to the world of Wicked and the land of Oz in this epic fantasy novel to follow the story of Liir, the adolescent boy left hiding in the shadows of the castle when Dorothy did in the Witch.
A decade after the Witch has melted away, the young man Liir is discovered bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully. Shattered in spirit as well as in form, he is tended by the mysterious Candle, a foundling in her own right, until failed campaigns of his childhood bear late, unexpected fruit.
Liir's coming of age story is only one part of the world that Elphaba left behind. As a boy hardly in his teens, he is asked to help the needy in ways in which he may be unskilled. Is he Elphaba’s son? His quest for identity will determine if he has power of his own. Can he liberate Princess Nastoya into a dignified death? Can he locate his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in shackles in the Wizard’s protection? Can he survive in an Oz rife with political intrigue and little improved since the death of the Wicked Witch of the West? Can he learn to fly?
In Son of a Witch, Gregory Maguire suggests that the magic we locate in distant, improbable places like Oz is no greater than the magic inherent in any hard life lived fully, son of a witch or no.

As snow buries 8th-century Mosul, scholar Dabir and swordsman Captain Asim find their quiet lives upended by Najya, a Persian noblewoman fleeing a sinister cabal.

To save Najya and stop the cabal, Dabir and Asim embark on a perilous journey through the worst winter in memory. Hunted by a shape-shifting assassin and forced into uneasy alliance with Lydia, a treacherous Greek necromancer, they face dangers that test loyalty, courage, and desire.
But the deeper they go, the more perilous Najya’s fate becomes. If the enchantment claims her soul, the world itself may fall to ice.

About the book
Father John has spent his life in restraint, numbing his desires with prayer, cold showers, and jigsaw puzzles. His vows have held, until Debra Rocks, an adult film actress with a plea for salvation, enters his confessional. Her perfume lingers, her voice haunts, and Father John’s obsession begins. Drawn to the neon-lit alley near his church, he risks both his soul and hers in a fight against temptation and death.
This is “Blue World,” the novella that headlines Robert McCammon’s World Fantasy Award. Within these pages, monsters walk, demons whisper, and killers stalk. Yet the darkest horrors McCammon explores are the ones festering inside us: obsession, fear, and the wilderness of a broken soul.
Macabre, masterful, unforgettable.

With a 4.6 out of 5 stars Amazon rating, this fantasy adventure is unmissable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Roll over and die, or become so strong nothing can stop him.
Cast into a brutal military camp by his once loving master, Mateo feels like the last six wonderful years of his life have been a lie. With the mysteries surrounding him growing, Mateo knows that his only option is becoming one of the supernaturally powerful Duelists and growing in power until he can take his fate into his own hands.
That plan is thwarted from the beginning when he gets stuck with the lowest ranked Root Card against his will, ensuring that his growth as a Duelist will always be excruciatingly slow. To make matters worse, the camp he has been thrown into is completely cutthroat and survival isn’t guaranteed by a long shot.
Saddled with two other kids that he has never met before and a crow spirit bound to him by an ethereal chain, Mateo will need every ounce of courage, resilience, and mental acuity he can muster if he wants to make it out of the training camp alive.
Don't miss the start of the next great Fantasy LitRPG Series by Seth Ring, author of the best selling Battle Mage Farmer and Nova Terra. Grab your copy today and join Mateo as he ascends through the flames of war.
About the Series: Following a weak-to-strong protagonist, this series mixes epic fantasy action, mystery, cultivation, and a world with endless depth where little is as it first appears. This LitRPG/GameLit series is perfect for readers who enjoy exploring rich worlds and complex characters.

As they navigate a world where compassion collides with cruelty, the teens learn that power is never clean.
In a flawless society, what happens when the Scythes themselves are corrupted?

About the book
Julius is a dragon, technically. Unfortunately, he is also the smallest and meekest member of the ruthless Heartstriker clan. His survival strategy has always been simple: keep quiet, avoid fights, and hope no one notices him. His mother has finally noticed.
Fed up with his timid ways, Bethesda strips Julius of his true form and casts him into the DFZ, a dangerous vertical city built on the ruins of Old Detroit. He has one month to prove he can be ruthless enough to earn back his scales or lose his dragon self forever.
In a world of mages, spirits, and cutthroat schemes, Julius will need allies, courage, and luck.
Because in this city, nice dragons do not just finish last—they rarely finish at all.

The Book of Jhereg
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Steven Brust’s The Book of Jhereg brings together the first three adventures of Vlad Taltos, the assassin with a sharp tongue and a dragon-like sidekick. A fantasy classic praised for its wit, action, and intrigue, this omnibus carries a 4.6 out of 5 stars Amazon rating. Perfect for fans of snarky antiheroes and clever, fast-paced worldbuilding.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Meet Vlad Taltos, an assassin with more sarcasm than sense and a knack for finding trouble in every corner of the Empire. With his dragon-like familiar at his side, Vlad navigates the underworld of sorcery, crime, and politics, one dangerous contract at a time.
In Jhereg, his first job as a crime boss’s enforcer goes wildly off script. Yendi pits him against rivals who might just be smarter than he is. And in Teckla, he discovers that revolution is messy, especially when it drags friends and loyalties into the fight.
Collected in one volume, The Book of Jhereg captures Vlad at his sharp-tongued, blade-swinging best.
The question isn’t whether he’ll get out alive—it’s how much havoc he’ll cause along the way.
