Tencendor is gone, but the battle has only begun.
The Twisted Citadel
Fantasy · Romantasy · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Tencendor is gone, but the battle has only begun. In The Serpent Bride, the first volume of Sara Douglass’s DarkGlass Mountain trilogy, old heroes face new legends as gods awaken, alliances shift, and ancient magic stirs. A sweeping epic of war, legacy, and celestial power in a world where even the stars have secrets.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Tencendor has fallen. The land lies in ruin, and only a handful of SunSoars remain.
From the ashes, a new generation rises. Priestess Ishbel Brunelle, the war-hardened Isaiah of Isembaard, and Lord Maximilian of Elcho Falling must rally their fractured world as the dark god Kanubai awakens and the monstrous Skraelings swarm across the land, guided by the sinister force known as DarkGlass Mountain.
Old bloodlines stir. The Star Dance calls. And the Lealfast—long-lost kin to the winged Icarii—return, their allegiances uncertain. Amid suspicion and looming war, Axis SunSoar revives his legendary Strike Force for one final stand.
Sara Douglass weaves legacy, conflict, and myth into a sweeping fantasy of fading light and rising darkness—where salvation may come at the edge of a blade or the whisper of a forgotten star.

Choose your retailer
About the book
He walked away from war. But war didn’t walk away from him.
Zaren Joha was once a soldier—disciplined, deadly, and disillusioned. Now he keeps peace in a quiet riverside tavern, trading command for calm and blades for ale. It’s not a grand life, but it’s his.
Until Waleith arrives.
Mysterious, calculating, and wielding authority straight from the Queen’s inner circle, Waleith pulls Zaren into a world of vanishing outposts, forbidden magic, and assassins cloaked in royal approval. What begins as a simple job quickly spirals into something far darker.
Old instincts resurface. So do old enemies.
As ancient forces stir and political tides shift, Zaren must face the truth: strength alone won’t save him—or those he’s grown to care for. To survive, he must become more than a soldier.
He must become the Queen’s Blade.

AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
For twenty years, Sciona has devoted every waking moment to the study of magic, fueled by a mad desire to achieve the impossible: to be the first woman ever admitted to the High Magistry at the University of Magics and Industry.
When Sciona finally passes the qualifying exam and becomes a highmage, she finds her challenges have just begun. Her new colleagues are determined to make her feel unwelcome—and, instead of a qualified lab assistant, they give her a janitor.
What neither Sciona nor her peers realize is that her taciturn assistant was not always a janitor. Ten years ago, he was a nomadic hunter who lost his family on their perilous journey from the wild plains to the city. But now he sees the opportunity to understand the forces that decimated his tribe, drove him from his homeland, and keep the privileged in power.
At first, mage and outsider have a fractious relationship. But working together, they uncover an ancient secret that could change the course of magic forever—if it doesn’t get them killed first.

Dragons, conspiracies, and possibly the worst police force in fantasy—Guards!
Guards! Guards!
Fantasy
Our take
Dragons, conspiracies, and possibly the worst police force in fantasy—Guards! Guards! is the hilarious first entry in Terry Pratchett’s beloved City Watch arc.

No prior Pratchett knowledge required.
Choose your retailer
About the book
When a fire-breathing dragon is summoned to overthrow the government of Ankh-Morpork, it’s up to the city’s most unlikely defenders to save the day… or at least avoid being burned alive trying.
Captain Sam Vimes leads the Night Watch—a ragtag crew of misfits, including an idealistic six-foot-tall dwarf named Carrot—tasked with maintaining order in the most disorderly city on Discworld. But as conspiracies ignite and the dragon is declared King (yes, really), even Vimes may be out of his depth.
Guards! Guards! is Terry Pratchett at his most brilliant: razor-sharp satire, riotous worldbuilding, and heart wrapped in hilarity. The first entry in the beloved City Watch arc, it’s a perfect starting point for Discworld newcomers and a perennial favorite for longtime fans.
