About the book
Bianca has always known her duty outweighs her heart. So when war threatens, she agrees to marry the heir of a neighboring kingdom. But Prince Aric greets her with cold disdain, and their wedding night takes a truly bizarre turn when an assassination attempt leaves him magically transformed into a horse.
By day, Aric is a stallion. By night, he is a frustratingly attractive man. Bianca, now accused of his murder, finds herself on the run with her newly equine husband.
Together they must navigate a tangle of political intrigue, curses, and a romance neither expected. If they fail to uncover the assassin’s plot, the throne will fall and they may lose far more than their freedom.
Some fairy tales come with teeth and hooves.

About the book
"We should expect this young woman to be more powerful than our average novice, possibly even more powerful than the average magician."
This year, like every other, the magicians of Imardin gather to purge the city of undesirables. Cloaked in the protection of their sorcery, they move with no fear of the vagrants and miscreants who despise them and their work—until one enraged girl, barely more than a child, hurls a stone at the hated invaders . . . and effortlessly penetrates their magical shield.
What the Magicians' Guild has long dreaded has finally come to pass. There is someone outside their ranks who possesses a raw power beyond imagining, an untrained mage who must be found and schooled before she destroys herself and her city with a force she cannot yet control.

About the book
Kimberly has ultimate cosmic power, but try putting that on a résumé without a diploma. Until she graduates from the secret Blackhollow Academy, she’s stuck slinging coffee, dodging bills, and living with her mom. There’s just one problem: no diploma without a familiar.
As an illusionist, summoning one is impossible. Her only shot is convincing a supernatural creature to let her bind it. And why settle for a cat or a raven when a dragon—complete with treasure hoard—might be game?
Enter a legendary, sarcastic, and very much unbindable dragon who sees through every one of her tricks.
The magi want to control her. Others want her gone for good. If she fails, her future goes up in smoke. But what if the dragon has plans of his own?

A strong match for readers drawn to Greek mythology retellings, powerful witches, gods and mortals, and character-driven historical fantasy.
CIRCE
Fantasy · Historical Fiction · Literary Fiction · Travis' Picks · Historical Fantasy · Pre-History | Ancient History
Our take
A #1 New York Times bestseller, Circe was described by The New York Times as “[A] bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story.” The novel reimagines the sorceress of The Odyssey as she discovers witchcraft, is exiled by Zeus, and must decide whether she belongs with the gods or the mortals she has come to love, with a 4.5-star rating from more than 95,600 Amazon reviewers. A strong match for readers drawn to Greek mythology retellings, powerful witches, gods and mortals, and character-driven historical fantasy.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This #1 New York Times bestseller is a "bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story" that brilliantly reimagines the life of Circe, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey (Alexandra Alter, *The New York Times*).**
In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.
Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.
But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.
With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

Hard Time
Historical Fantasy · Sci-Fi · Time Travel
Our take
Jodi Taylor’s Hard Time thrusts rookie misfits Luke, Jane, and Matthew into the Time Police’s most dangerous mission yet. With temporal tourism spiraling out of control, these untested recruits must stop the greatest threat to history itself. Fast-paced, hilarious, and brimming with charm, this is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Jasper Fforde, and Doctor Who.
Choose your retailer
About the book
History is under constant threat from those foolish enough to try to change it. Temporal tourism is booming, offering the rich and reckless a chance to meddle in the past. It is illegal, dangerous, and extremely profitable—and the Time Police are determined to shut it down.
When their top agents are taken out, replacements are needed immediately. Enter Team Weird: Luke, Jane, and Matthew, three rookie officers still in training and not exactly by-the-book. They might lack polish, but their creativity and nerve may be exactly what is needed.
In Hard Time, Jodi Taylor delivers another witty, fast-paced adventure in the Time Police series, where the fate of history rests in the hands of the most unlikely heroes imaginable.
