I, Medusa
Historical Fantasy
Our take
Ayana Gray’s I, Medusa, from the New York Times bestselling author of Beasts of Prey, is a fierce retelling of Greek myth.

Explosive, heartbreaking, and empowering, it redefines a legend too long silenced.

About the book
Meddy has always been overshadowed. Next to her radiant immortal sisters and her god-born parents, she is overlooked, underestimated, and yearning for a life beyond the island she calls home. When Athena offers her a place as a priestess, Meddy seizes the chance to step into purpose and power.
But in Athens, under the watchful gaze of gods, her promising future is shattered. Noticed by Poseidon, betrayed by Athena, Meddy’s life is rewritten in rage and serpents. Her locs become snakes, her gaze a weapon, her body a curse for a crime she never committed.
Ayana Gray’s I, Medusa is a bold reimagining of one of mythology’s most maligned figures, transforming a monster into a heroine who refuses to be forgotten.

About the book
Art forger John Furie Zacharias—better known as Gentle—lives for indulgence, not destiny. But when he crosses paths with Judith Odell, a woman whose influence over fate runs deeper than she realizes, and Pie ’oh’ pah, an enigmatic assassin from another world, his carefully constructed life begins to shatter.
Their journey unravels the secrets of Imajica, a vast system of five dimensions bound to Earth in ways humanity has long forgotten. Each realm is stranger, darker, and more dangerous than the last, peopled with beings who blur the line between beauty and terror.
What begins as a search for truth spirals into a revelation capable of remaking reality itself. Forbidden passions ignite, betrayals multiply, and Gentle must face the ultimate question: who—and what—is he really?

About the book
Carolyn was once an ordinary American girl. Now she’s something else entirely. Raised alongside her adopted siblings by the man they call Father, she’s spent years locked inside a Library that holds the secrets of creation itself. There, she’s studied rituals, languages, and powers that make her more than human—and maybe less.
Now Father has vanished. Maybe he’s dead. Maybe he isn’t. Either way, the Library and its terrible power stand unguarded, and Carolyn intends to claim it. She isn’t the only one with a plan, and the beings aligned against her could crush her without blinking.
But Carolyn is patient. Calculating. Dangerous. In the coming war to decide who becomes God, she has prepared for everything—except remembering what it means to be human.

About the book
Enter a darker age with USA Today bestselling author Christopher Buehlman's Between Two Fires, a medieval horror adventure unlike anything on the shelf. The beloved BookTok sensation is now coming to Nightfire.
And Lucifer said: “Let us rise against Him now in all our numbers, and pull the walls of heaven down…”
The year is 1348.
Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm—that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict. Is it delirium or is it faith?
She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon.
There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.
As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.

"A perfect military fantasy: brutal, complex, human and impossible to put down." - Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand
In an epic fantasy unlike any other, two women clash in a world full of rebellion, espionage, and military might on the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire.
Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought.
Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.
Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.

About the book
A THRILLING REINVENTION OF THE VAMPIRE NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF MODERN FANTASY, GEORGE R. R. MARTIN
Abner Marsh, a struggling riverboat captain, suspects that something’s amiss when he is approached by a wealthy aristocrat with a lucrative offer. The hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet; nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York’s reasons for traversing the powerful Mississippi are to be none of Marsh’s concern—no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious York’s actions may prove. Not until the maiden voyage of Fevre Dream does Marsh realize that he has joined a mission both more sinister, and perhaps more noble, than his most fantastic nightmare—and humankind’s most impossible dream.

About the book
The planet Erna was meant to be humanity’s new home. Instead, it became a nightmare.
Settled more than a thousand years ago, Erna is alive with the fae, an elemental force that twists human fears and desires into reality. Nightmares walk in the open, and dreams can kill. Humanity survives only through fragile stalemates and dangerous bargains with power.
Now, the balance is crumbling. As dark fae hordes grow, four unlikely allies are bound together: a priest guided by faith, an adept who walks the line of morality, a young apprentice still learning his power, and a sorcerer who wields the fae at great risk.
Their mission will pit them against a rising evil that feeds on humanity itself.

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A princess in exile, a shapeshifting dragon, six enchanted cranes, and an unspeakable curse... Drawing from fairy tales and East Asian folklore, this original fantasy from the author of Spin the Dawn is perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone.
"A dazzling fairytale full of breathtaking storytelling." --Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
Shiori'anma, the only princess of Kiata, has a secret. Forbidden magic runs through her veins. Normally she conceals it well, but on the morning of her betrothal ceremony, Shiori loses control. At first, her mistake seems like a stroke of luck, forestalling the wedding she never wanted. But it also catches the attention of Raikama, her stepmother.
A sorceress in her own right, Raikama banishes the young princess, turning her brothers into cranes. She warns Shiori that she must speak of it to no one: for with every word that escapes her lips, one of her brothers will die.
Penniless, voiceless, and alone, Shiori searches for her brothers, and uncovers a dark conspiracy to seize the throne. Only Shiori can set the kingdom to rights, but to do so she must place her trust in a paper bird, a mercurial dragon, and the very boy she fought so hard not to marry. And she must embrace the magic she's been taught all her life to forswear--no matter what the cost.
Weaving together elements of The Wild Swans, Cinderella, the legend of Chang E, and the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Elizabeth Lim has crafted a fantasy like no other, and one that will stay with readers long after they've turned the last page.
"A stunning remake of a fairytale. Six Crimson Cranes is the perfect blend of whimsy and ferociousness, with twists and turns that will tug at your heartstrings." —Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights
"Fast-paced excitement is balanced with a satisfyingly intricate plot that weaves in elements from Western fairy tales and East Asian folklore." —SLJ, starred review
