About the book
From one of the most exciting writers of fantasy adventure comes the first novel in The Ascendant Kingdoms Saga, a tale of unpredictable magic, battling warlords, and the lust for vengeance set in the unforgiving frozen wastes at the edge of the world.
Condemned as a murderer for killing the man who dishonored his sister, Blaine "Mick" McFadden has spent the last six years exiled in Velant, a penal colony in the frigid northern wastelands. Harsh military discipline and the oppressive magic keep a fragile peace as colonists struggle against a hostile environment. But the supply ships from Dondareth have stopped coming, boding ill for the kingdom that banished the colonists.
Now, as the world's magic runs wild, McFadden and the people of Velant must fight to survive and decide their fate . . .

About the book
WINNER OF THE AUGUST DERLETH AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARDS • A masterpiece brimming with scientific splendor, magical intrigue, and fierce characters, from the author who “has reshaped modern fantasy” (The Washington Post)
“[China Miéville’s] fantasy novels, including a trilogy set in and around the magical city-state of New Crobuzon, have the refreshing effect of making Middle-earth seem plodding and flat.”—The New York Times
The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the center of the world. Humans and mutants and arcane races brood in the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the river is sluggish with unnatural effluent and foundries pound into the night. For a thousand years, the Parliament and its brutal militias have ruled over a vast economy of workers and artists, spies and soldiers, magicians, crooks, and junkies.
Now a stranger has arrived, with a pocketful of gold and an impossible demand. And something unthinkable is released.
The city is gripped by an alien terror. The fate of millions lies with a clutch of renegades. A reckoning is due at the city’s heart, in the vast edifice of brick and wood and steel under the vaults of Perdido Street Station.
It is too late to escape.

About the book
Gwynn and Raule share little beyond defeat. Both fought in a war that chewed them up and spat them out. He is a gunslinger, a drifter, a killer who trusts no one. She is a weary surgeon, still clinging to ideals that the battlefield left in ruins.
Together they flee to Ashamoil, a sprawling city where corruption festers in every shadow. Raule tends the broken and desperate while Gwynn trades steel for survival, taking work as an assassin in service of a powerful magnate. Yet Ashamoil is no ordinary city. Here, art corrupts and inspires, reality bends into dream, and miracles sprout like weeds in blood-soaked alleys.
Haunted by their pasts, they must navigate a world as beautiful as it is terrifying. What will the city carve into their souls?

About the book
Epic fantasy featuring warrior priestesses, and fickle gods at war, for readers of Brian Staveley's Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne.
Epic fantasy featuring warrior priestesses and fickle gods at war, for readers of Brian Staveley's Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne. Hessa is an Eangi: a warrior priestess of the Goddess of War, with the power to turn an enemy's bones to dust with a scream. Banished for disobeying her goddess's command to murder a traveller, she prays for forgiveness alone on a mountainside.
While she is gone, raiders raze her village and obliterate the Eangi priesthood. Grieving and alone, Hessa - the last Eangi - must find the traveller and atone for her weakness and secure her place with her loved ones in the High Halls. As clans from the north and legionaries from the south tear through her homeland, slaughtering everyone in their path Hessa strives to win back her goddess' favour.
Beset by zealot soldiers, deceitful gods, and newly-awakened demons at every turn, Hessa burns her path towards redemption and revenge. But her journey reveals a harrowing truth: the gods are dying and the High Halls of the afterlife are fading. Soon Hessa's trust in her goddess weakens with every unheeded prayer.
Thrust into a battle between the gods of the Old World and the New, Hessa realizes there is far more on the line than securing a life beyond her own death. Bigger, older powers slumber beneath the surface of her world. And they're about to wake up.

About the book
From two time British Fantasy Award-winning author, Jen Williams, comes the epic conclusion to the Winnowing Flame trilogy. Exhilarating fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb.
'One of the best fantasy novels of the year, if not the decade' James Oswald
'A fitting finale, triumphant and bittersweet in all the best ways' SciFiNow
All is chaos. All is confusion. The Jure'lia are weak, but the war is far from over.
Ebora was once a glorious city, defended by legendary warriors and celebrated in song. Now refugees from every corner of Sarn seek shelter within its crumbling walls, and the enemy that has poisoned their land won't lie dormant for long.
The deep-rooted connection that Tormalin, Noon and the scholar Vintage share with their Eboran war-beasts has kept them alive so far. But with Tor distracted, and his sister Hestillion hell-bent on bringing ruthless order to the next Jure'lia attack, the people of Sarn need all the help they can get.
Noon is no stranger to playing with fire and knows just where to recruit a new - and powerful - army. But even she underestimates the epic quest that is to come. It is a journey wrought with pain and sacrifice - a reckoning that will change the face of Sarn forever.

Dark Tidings

Our take
Ryan O’Neill’s Dark Tidings is a standout dark fantasy where assassins, demons, and necromancy collide. Featuring Chael, a reluctant hero with an undead wolf companion, this tale of power and redemption has been praised for its “intricate plot and well-developed characters” (OnlineBookClub).

About the book
Chael was forged in shadows, abandoned as a child, enslaved, and trained to kill. Whispers call him the Darkborn, a vessel of ultimate evil. But he refuses to be anyone’s weapon. With his undead wolf, Michik, at his side, Chael hides deep within the Western Forest, hoping his bloody past will never find him.
Fate has other plans. Demons rise again, old masters stir, and zealous cultists hunt for the Darkborn’s power. When messengers arrive bearing news of a friend long thought dead, Chael must choose: step into the world that fears and despises him, or let darkness consume it.
Every path leads to war, and Chael’s decision could either damn humanity or save it. The question is, who truly controls the dark?
