About the book
It’s 1987, and fourteen-year-old Billy Marvin’s world revolves around his Commodore 64, late-night coding marathons, and plotting with his best friends to nab a copy of Playboy. But when he meets Mary Zelinsky—a whip-smart, VCR-repairing girl who’s just as geeky as he is—Billy’s schemes take an unexpected detour into first love, unexpected betrayals, and the wild maze of growing up.
Set in suburban New Jersey and soaked in ‘80s nostalgia, The Impossible Fortress is part coming-of-age comedy, part nerdy caper, and part heartfelt exploration of friendship, first crushes, and floppy disks.
Perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Ready Player One, this sweet, smart, and endlessly charming debut is a love letter to simpler times and the complicated joy of being a teenager.

Pilgrim
Historical Fiction · Horror
Our take
Pilgrim follows a German knight and his companions as they leave 12th-century Jerusalem after years of holy war, only to find the journey home shaped by fear, faith, and things older than either. Their return becomes both a physical trial and a metaphysical descent through history, folklore, and spiritual terror. This is medieval horror with crusader-era brutality, religious dread, and mythic darkness.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Lüthi stitches his horrors on the underbelly of the Levant, creating a vast and terrifying medieval epic. Pilgrim is grand storytelling, worthy of the chronicler, worthy of the poet."
--Coy Hall, author of The Promise of Plague Wolves
"In all the years that I've been reading, I've never read anything as gripping and breath-taking as Pilgrim."
--Alpha's Court
Set in 12th-century Jerusalem, Pilgrim follows the treacherous journey of a German knight and his companions as they return home after seven arduous years battling for God in the Holy Land. Within this sprawling tale lies a tapestry of medieval horror, intertwining history and folklore, encompassing both a metaphysical and literal odyssey.
Inspired by a rich blend of Arabic, Christian, and pre-Islamic traditions, Pilgrim delivers a pulse-pounding story of action, adventure, and bone-chilling horror.

Fear keeps Lark alive, but it may also trap her in the one place she dares to call home.
The Hanging City
Romantasy
Our take
Fear keeps Lark alive, but it may also trap her in the one place she dares to call home. In The Hanging City, she seeks refuge in a troll city suspended over a dark canyon, where her cursed gift makes her valuable and dangerously exposed. The mix of hostile allies, monster-slaying stakes, and forbidden romance gives this fantasy a tense, emotional pull.

About the book
For a young woman who wields the power of fear, humanity’s greatest enemy is her only hope in a new romantic, adventure-filled fantasy by Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg.
Seven years on the run from her abusive father, and with no hope of sanctuary among the dwindling pockets of human civilization, Lark is out of options. Her only leverage is a cursed power: she can thrust fear onto others, leaving all threats fleeing in terror. It’s a means of survival as she searches for a place to call home. If the campfire myths of her childhood are true, Lark’s sole chance for refuge could lie in Cagmar, the city of trolls—a brutal species and the sworn enemies of humanity.
Valuing combat prowess, the troll high council is intrigued. Lark could be much more useful than the low-caste humans who merely labor in Cagmar. Her gift makes her invaluable as a monster slayer to fight off the unspeakable creatures that torment the trolls’ hanging city, suspended from a bridge over an endless dark canyon.
Lark will do anything to make Cagmar her home, but her new role comes with a caveat: use her power against a troll, and she’ll be killed. Her loyalty is quickly put to the test when she draws the hatred of a powerful troll who loathes humankind. Still, she finds unexpected friendship in the city and, even more surprisingly, love. But if everything else doesn’t undo her, being caught in the arms of a troll surely will. Now in the fight of her life, Lark has a lot to learn—about her past, about trust and hope when all seems lost, and above all, about the extraordinary power of fear itself.

About the book
In 2069, Earth’s last shot at peace is one spaceship—and one crew—away from unraveling.
Leif Grettison wasn’t supposed to be here. He won the final seat on humanity’s first interstellar mission in a global lottery.

Now he’s the unofficial muscle aboard a ship full of fragile alliances and national grudges, barreling toward an alien world no one really understands.
The journey spans fourteen Earth years. The dangers? Immeasurable.
When systems fail, tensions spike, and crew members start dying, Leif must become more than a handyman—he must be humanity’s last line of defense against the unknown.
Because space doesn’t care how well you planned. And out here, there’s no calling for backup.

About the book
In this magical debut, a couple's lives are changed forever by the arrival of a little girl, wild and secretive, on their snowy doorstep.
Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart—he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone—but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees.
This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel struggle to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they come to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform all of them.
