About the book
Once a prince sworn to the crown, Laeden is now a hunted traitor—and the realm’s only hope.
Stripped of title and command, Laeden leads a band of rogue knights in open defiance against the tyrants he once served. His mission: buy time for a prophesied champion to rise, even if it costs him everything. But war tears the kingdom apart, and whispers speak of a god-killer walking among them.
Laeden must confront a harrowing truth—the person destined to save the world is the one he once betrayed.
As divine conspiracies unravel and deities fall, Laeden faces a choice: cling to honor or embrace sacrifice. Because to break the chains binding the realm, he may have to surrender his soul.
Can a disgraced captain rewrite destiny before both worlds fall?

About the book
He wakes with no name, no past—only a prophecy and a letter that could doom a kingdom.
In a realm where magic is outlawed and prophecies bring death, Zephyrus finds himself thrust into a gladiator’s arena with nothing but questions and blood on his hands. Named as a peacemaker in one breath and a harbinger of ruin in another, he battles not only mortal enemies but divine forces manipulating fate.
Each fight earns him freedom—but unearths dangerous truths. Within the palace, royalty plots rebellion. In the shadows, gods wage war. And Zephyrus is caught in the middle, his own identity the key to salvation or destruction.
The arena is only the beginning.
Can a man with no memory defy destiny—or is he already playing a role written by gods?

About the book
"Gail Simone writes like a storm gathering. Thunder is coming!" ―John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling author
"Fierce and fascinating. This is the story Red Sonja has always deserved. Unmissable." ––Felicia Day
Red Sonja, the iconic, fiery, she-devil with a sword, is reinvented for a new generation of readers in this action-packed epic fantasy by legendary comic book writer Gail Simone.
The warrior Red Sonja, the famous fiery She-Devil of Hyrkania, has never concerned herself with the consequences of her actions. She’s taken what she wanted, from treasure to drink to the companionship of bedfellows. She’s fought who deserved it (and sometimes those who didn’t). And she’s never looked back.
But when rumors start bubbling up from her homeland—rumors of unknown horrors emerging from the ground and pulling their unsuspecting victims to their deaths—and a strange voice begins whispering to her in her sleep, she realizes she may have to return to the country that abandoned her. And finally do the only thing that has ever scared her: confront her past.

About the book
A Philip K. Dick Award Winner from "a brilliant writer": In a ravaged California, a man tries to rescue his lost love from a soul-devouring religious cult (William Gibson).
In the twenty-second century, the City of Angels is a tragic shell of its former self, having long ago been ruined and reshaped by nuclear disaster. Before he was in a band in Ellay, Gregorio Rivas was a redeemer, rescuing lost souls trapped in the Jaybirds cult of the powerful maniac Norton Jaybush. Rivas had hoped those days were behind him, but a desperate entreaty from a powerful official is pulling him back into the game. The rewards will be plentiful if he can wrest Urania, the official's daughter and Gregorio's first love, from Jaybush's sinister clutches. To do so, the redeemer reborn must face blood-sucking hemogoblins and other monstrosities on his way to discovering the ultimate secrets of this neo-Californian civilization.
One of the most ingeniously imaginative writers of our time, Tim Powers dazzles in an early work that displays his unique creative genius, earning him a nomination for the Nebula Award. Alive with wit, intelligence, and wild invention, Dinner at Deviant's Palace is a mad adventure across a dystopian future as only Tim Powers could have imagined it.
