In a world where magic is bought, sold, and tightly controlled, Elsie Camden’s gift is illegal.
Spellbreaker
Romantasy · Steampunk
Our take
In a world where magic is bought, sold, and tightly controlled, Elsie Camden’s gift is illegal. She can break spells, not cast them, which makes her both dangerous and indispensable. When she’s caught by a powerful wizard on the brink of his own ambitions, a fragile alliance forms, one that pulls Elsie deeper into aristocratic intrigue, stolen spellbooks, and a rising body count. Spellbreaker blends class conflict, clever magic systems, and slow-burn tension into a story about power, justice, and the cost of changing the rules.

About the book
A world of enchanted injustice needs a disenchanting woman in an all-new fantasy series by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician.
The orphaned Elsie Camden learned as a girl that there were two kinds of wizards in the world: those who pay for the power to cast spells and those, like her, born with the ability to break them. But as an unlicensed magic user, her gift is a crime. Commissioned by an underground group known as the Cowls, Elsie uses her spellbreaking to push back against the aristocrats and help the common man. She always did love the tale of Robin Hood.
Elite magic user Bacchus Kelsey is one elusive spell away from his mastership when he catches Elsie breaking an enchantment. To protect her secret, Elsie strikes a bargain. She’ll help Bacchus fix unruly spells around his estate if he doesn’t turn her in. Working together, Elsie’s trust in—and fondness for—the handsome stranger grows. So does her trepidation about the rise in the murders of wizards and the theft of the spellbooks their bodies leave behind.
For a rogue spellbreaker like Elsie, there’s so much to learn about her powers, her family, the intriguing Bacchus, and the untold dangers shadowing every step of a journey she’s destined to complete. But will she uncover the mystery before it’s too late to save everything she loves?

A governess arrives at a remote hall where folk magic offers protection, but something older and darker keeps pressing at the edges.
Salt & Broom
Romantasy
Our take
A governess arrives at a remote hall where folk magic offers protection, but something older and darker keeps pressing at the edges. In Salt & Broom, Jane Aire must rely on her herb lore and hard-won resolve as danger gathers around Thornfield Hall and the man she is beginning to love. It fits gothic fantasy with romantic tension, uncanny atmosphere, and a steady sense of encroaching dread.

About the book
“Fans of Jane Eyre will go feral for this.” —The Everygirl
Salt and broom, make this room
Safe and tight, against the night.
Trunks packed with potions and cures, Jane Aire sets out on a crisp, clear morning in October to face the greatest challenge of her sheltered girls’-school existence. A shadow lies over Thornfield Hall and its reclusive master, Edward Rochester. And he’s hired her only as a last resort.
Jane stumbles again and again as she tries to establish a rapport with her prickly new employer, but he becomes the least of her worries as a mysterious force seems to work against her. The threats mount around both Jane and Rochester—who’s becoming more intriguing and appealing to her by the day. Jane begins to fear her herb healing and protective charms may not be enough to save the man she’s growing to love from a threat darker and more dangerous than either of them imagined.

As the first American journalist invited to Ecotopia, Will Weston uncovers a society unlike any he’s known—eco-friendly cities, strict pollution laws, and radical social structures.
Ecotopia
Sci-Fi
Our take
As the first American journalist invited to Ecotopia, Will Weston uncovers a society unlike any he’s known—eco-friendly cities, strict pollution laws, and radical social structures. Skepticism fades as he’s drawn into this green utopia and a compelling romance, forcing him to choose between the familiar world he knows and Ecotopia’s promise.
Choose your retailer
About the book
When northern California, Oregon, and Washington secede to form Ecotopia, they create an experimental “stable-state” ecosystem, a society built around harmony with nature. Now, twenty years later, skeptical New York Times-Post reporter Will Weston is the first American invited to witness this green utopia.
Determined to report objectively, Will encounters Ecotopia’s unconventional practices: cities designed to prevent sprawl, strict pollution controls, tree-centered spirituality, and a government led by women that’s pioneered ideas like the twenty-hour workweek. The longer he stays, the more Will’s skepticism fades—especially when he begins a passionate relationship with a free-spirited Ecotopian woman.
Now torn between two worlds, Will must choose: return to America or embrace a radically different way of life?
Will he remain an outsider, or find himself at home in Ecotopia?

And for Mishima, an elite operative with Information—the powerful search engine monopoly behind micro-democracy—it’s a test of her skill in keeping the system stable amid mounting tensions.
As power struggles intensify and alliances shift, each player risks everything to shape the future. But will the promises of micro-democracy hold up under pressure, or is the system itself on the brink?

In Stealing Worlds, survival depends on staying invisible in a society built to watch everyone.
Stealing Worlds
Sci-Fi · Dystopian · Cyberpunk · Hard Sci-Fi
Our take
In Stealing Worlds, survival depends on staying invisible in a society built to watch everyone. Hunted by creditors and tangled in the aftermath of her father’s murder, Sura escapes into game worlds where identity can shift and power hides inside code. This is near-future science fiction with surveillance-state tension, virtual economies, and a heist-like pulse sharpened by paranoia and reinvention.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From Karl Schroeder, author of Lockstep, comes the near-future, science fiction, hacker's heist, Stealing Worlds.
The Verge—New Science Fiction and Fantasy Books to Check Out in June
Sura Neelin is on the run from her creditors, from her past, and her father's murderers. She can't get a job, she can't get a place to live, she can't even walk down the street: the total surveillance society that is mid-21st century America means that every camera and every pair of smart glasses is her enemy.
But Sura might have a chance in the alternate reality of the games. People can disappear in the LARP game worlds, into the alternate economy of Notchcoin and blockchains. The people who build the games also program the surveillance networks—she just needs an introduction, and the skills to play.
Turns out, she has very valuable skills, and some very surprising friends.

When the streets become canals and skyscrapers stand like islands, survival demands reinvention.
New York 2140
Sci-Fi · Dystopian · Hard Sci-Fi
Our take
When the streets become canals and skyscrapers stand like islands, survival demands reinvention. In New York 2140, a flooded Manhattan still pulses with life as traders, detectives, internet celebrities, and rooftop coders navigate a reshaped city. When two missing residents set off a chain of events, the fragile systems beneath the surface begin to fracture in this expansive climate science fiction epic.
Choose your retailer
About the book
New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson returns with a bold and brilliant vision of New York City in the next century.
As the sea levels rose, every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. For the residents of one apartment building in Madison Square, however, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city.
There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear -- along with the lawyers, of course.
There is the internet star, beloved by millions for her airship adventures, and the building's manager, quietly respected for his attention to detail. Then there are two boys who don't live there, but have no other home -- and who are more important to its future than anyone might imagine.
Lastly there are the coders, temporary residents on the roof, whose disappearance triggers a sequence of events that threatens the existence of all -- and even the long-hidden foundations on which the city rests.
