Choose your retailer
About the book
Every ten years, the gods deal out destiny—literally.
On Drop Night, if you’re lucky, you get a divine card deck and enter the Great Game: monsters, mantles, and magic beyond comprehension. Ethan Wolfe, enforcer for the Grimm family mob, just got dealt a hand by Cerberus—the god who condemns the wicked.
Bad news? Wolfe’s got no time to celebrate. A rival gang with six deckbearers is slaughtering Grimm lieutenants, and the boss’s spoiled brats are too busy posturing to fight back. That leaves Wolfe to clean house.
Worse? His deck holds a card from Cerberus’ ultra-rare lineage—one in six. Everyone wants it. Everyone's hunting him. Even allies.
Sin City meets MTG in this brutal, spell-slinging noir LitRPG. The cards are down. And Wolfe’s going all in.

Kidnapped by pirates.
The Witch of Shadowmarsh
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Coming of Age · Epic Fantasy
Our take
Kidnapped by pirates. Dragged into rebellion. Haunted by a traitorous sister. The Witch of Shadowmarsh kicks off a complete epic fantasy series full of elves, witches, and dangerous magic. This YA-friendly tale blends intrigue, adventure, and unlikely alliances—and Amazon readers love it at 4.6 out of 5 stars. Click now to meet Elmerah, the antisocial heroine you didn’t know you needed.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Elmerah is a swamp-dwelling Arthali witch with no interest in empires, rebellions, or other people in general. But when pirates abduct her and a group of young women bound for slavery, she has no choice but to remind everyone why her kind were exiled in the first place.
She escapes—but not fast enough. The Capital is closer than she’d like, and political plots have a way of pulling in unwilling participants.
The Valeroot elves are nearly extinct. The Empire wants them dead. And Elmerah’s the last person qualified to save anyone.
Now, to stop a blood-soaked war and a dark magical threat rising in secret, she’ll have to face the past she fled—and the sister who betrayed her.
Sometimes saving the world starts in a swamp.

He was the greatest mage of his world…until his enemies crashed his retirement.
The Order of Architects
Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
He was the greatest mage of his world…until his enemies crashed his retirement. Now reborn in a realm threatened by beasts from the Shadow Plane, he must reclaim his power—or die (again) trying. This sharp, high-stakes reincarnation fantasy blends magic, grit, and second chances. Amazon readers rate it 4.6 out of 5 stars—click now to start the saga!
Choose your retailer
About the book
I was the most powerful Earth Mage in existence. Leader of the Order of Architects. A legend, basically. Then I made the rookie mistake of trying to retire.
Turns out, centuries of enemies don’t respect vacation time.
They dragged me into the grave with them—or so I thought. Now I’m alive again, in a strange new world with unfamiliar rules, and probably too many tentacles. My magic? Gone. My experience? Fully intact. My patience? Running on fumes.
But if I climbed to the top once, I can do it again—before the monstrous beasts from the Shadow Plane turn this place into a smoking crater.
The question is, can I rise again before they drag me down for good?

From the New York Times bestselling author of News of the World comes a gripping post–Civil War tale of grief, revenge, and redemption. Chenneville—rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon—follows one man’s relentless journey to track a killer across a fractured America. Bold, fearless, and unflinching.

About the book
John Chenneville survived a brutal head wound in the war. But what waited at home was far worse: his sister and her family, savagely murdered.
Their killer, A. J. Dodd, wears many faces—soldier, lawman, monster—and John is determined to bring him down.
Armed with little more than grief and grit, John embarks on a relentless pursuit through the ruins of Reconstruction-era America. Along the way, he faces winter storms, desperate strangers, and the long shadow of the man he used to be. The U.S. Marshal wants to stop him. A determined telegraphist wants to save him. But vengeance won’t let go.
And as the final confrontation nears, John must ask what justice is worth—when it’s all you have left.

Sasha Samokhina never applied to the Institute of Special Technologies—she was chosen.
Vita Nostra
Fantasy · Literary Fiction · Coming of Age
Our take
Sasha Samokhina never applied to the Institute of Special Technologies—she was chosen. At this strange, terrifying school, the books are unreadable, the lessons incomprehensible, and failure brings punishment not to students, but to their families. Yet Sasha’s transformation is irresistible. A dark, philosophical fantasy in the vein of The Magicians, Vita Nostra is unlike anything you’ve ever read.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A school like no other. A curriculum beyond comprehension. A price too terrifying to imagine.
Sasha Samokhina never applied to the Institute of Special Technologies—she was chosen. In a remote village, she finds herself trapped in a school unlike any other. The books cannot be read, the lessons refuse memorization, and failure doesn’t bring punishment upon the students—it falls upon their families.
Yet despite the fear, something inside Sasha is changing. She is learning things that defy reality, bending the rules of matter and time itself. And though she should run, she cannot imagine wanting anything else.
A mind-bending mix of philosophy, suspense, and dark fantasy, Vita Nostra is the anti-Harry Potter you didn’t know you needed. Perfect for fans of The Magicians and The Historian, this international sensation will leave you questioning everything.

Step into Tolkien’s whimsical corner of Middle-earth with The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Fantasy
Our take
Step into Tolkien’s whimsical corner of Middle-earth with The Adventures of Tom Bombadil. This expanded edition includes unpublished poems, a lost prose fragment, and notes by renowned Tolkien scholars. Featuring enchanting art by Narnia’s Pauline Baynes and boasting 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this is a must-have for lore lovers. Don’t miss it—click to explore!
Choose your retailer
About the book
What do Hobbits read when they’re not fleeing Ringwraiths or hosting second breakfasts? Apparently, poetry.
Meet Tom Bombadil: river-spirit, forest mystery, and the Middle-earth equivalent of your quirky uncle who speaks in riddles and knows too much. In this newly expanded edition, Tolkien’s Hobbit-penned verses come alive—some lighthearted, some haunting—all brimming with lore.
But this isn’t just a rehash. Inside you’ll find never-before-published notes, early drafts, and even a snippet of prose featuring Tom himself. Tolkien scholars Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond provide the kind of footnotes that make lore nerds swoon, and the legendary Pauline Baynes (yes, Narnia’s illustrator) brings the Shire’s whimsy to life in stunning detail.
Is Bombadil just a woodland recluse—or something far more powerful?
Time to find out. Bring snacks.

About the book
A young man is transformed into a barbarian fighter in this adventure from "one of the leading masters of epic fantasy" (Publishers Weekly).
Wallie Smith can feel the pain. He goes to the hospital and remembers the doctors and the commotion, but when he wakes up it all seems like a dream. However, if that was a dream, how do you explain waking up in another body and in another world? Little Wallie finds himself in the physique of a barbarian swordsman, accompanied by both an eccentric priest babbling about the Goddess and a voluptuous slave girl. Is this a rude awakening or a dream come true? What in the world will Wallie do now that he has found himself stranded in a strange realm? Well, it just so happens that the Goddess is in need of a swordsman. It will not be easy, but if he succeeds he will have everything he wants. If he does not, things could get ugly. Wallie is reluctant but sees his chance. If only he had the faintest clue as to the adventure he is about to unleash! If only he could imagine the forces that will be out to vanquish him!

Best for readers who like morally gray characters, superpowers, former friends turned enemies, and dark revenge-driven fantasy.
Vicious
Fantasy · Sci-Fi · Travis' Picks
Our take
Called “Fresh, merciless, and, yes, vicious. Wow.” by Mira Grant, Vicious follows former college roommates Victor and Eli, whose experiments with extraordinary abilities leave them enemies pursuing competing ideas of revenge and justice. Best for readers who like morally gray characters, superpowers, former friends turned enemies, and dark revenge-driven fantasy.
Choose your retailer
About the book
V. E. Schwab's New York Times bestseller Vicious is a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, desire, and superpowers.
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?
In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.
"A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain. A killer from page one…highly recommended!" —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Marvel Universe vs The Avengers and Patient Zero

Hunted by the Empire, Elias and Laia race to save her imprisoned brother—if they survive long enough to reach him.
A Torch Against the Night
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Paranormal Romance · Urban Fantasy
Our take
Hunted by the Empire, Elias and Laia race to save her imprisoned brother—if they survive long enough to reach him. But with the ruthless Blood Shrike on their trail and dark forces rising, no one is safe. A Torch Against the Night is Sabaa Tahir’s gripping follow-up to An Ember in the Ashes—intense, emotional, and utterly unputdownable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
After surviving the brutal Trials, Elias and Laia are fugitives on the run, hunted by Martial soldiers and haunted by what they left behind. Laia is determined to break into the Empire’s most feared prison, Kauf, to rescue her brother—the key to saving the Scholar people. Elias has one goal: help her succeed, even if it costs him his freedom—or his life.
But the Empire never lets go easily. From sadistic wardens to supernatural threats, enemies close in on every side. Worst of all, Elias’s former friend Helene, now the Empire’s Blood Shrike, is under orders to hunt them down—and kill them.
In A Torch Against the Night, Sabaa Tahir raises the stakes and deepens the heartbreak in this searing second installment of her bestselling fantasy series.

A cursed zmora.
When Among Crows
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+
Our take
A cursed zmora. A secretive stranger. One dangerous night. When Among Crows blends dark magic, Slavic folklore, and aching humanity in a story of fear, redemption, and the price of love. A USA Today bestseller and Goodreads Best Fantasy nominee, this modern fairytale will grab you by the heart—and never let go. Dare to face the darkness.
Choose your retailer
About the book
On the ancient night of Kupala, Dymitr enters Chicago’s dark and magical underworld with one goal: find the mythical fern flower and trade it to a cursed creature in exchange for help locating the elusive witch Baba Jaga. The creature? Ala, a zmora who feeds on fear and is slowly dying from a bloodline curse.
Ala agrees to help—reluctantly. Over one harrowing night, the pair battle monsters, face ancient magic, and forge a fragile bond. But Dymitr’s secret could shatter everything they’ve risked their lives for.
Drawing on Slavic folklore, When Among Crows is a sharp, lyrical tale of redemption, found family, and the darkness we must face to find the light. A USA Today bestseller and Goodreads Best Fantasy nominee, this is Leigh Bardugo meets The Witcher with teeth.

A sweeping fantasy perfect for fans of epic heroines.
The Wretched of Muirwood
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
In Muirwood, Lia is an orphan and a “wretched,” forbidden to read or dream beyond the Abbey kitchen. But when a wounded squire lands on her doorstep, she’s thrust into a perilous journey that awakens her hidden magic. Caught between rebels, royalty, and a deadly secret, Lia must decide if she’s ready to rise. A sweeping fantasy perfect for fans of epic heroines.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In the land of Muirwood, Lia has spent her life scrubbing dishes and dodging scorn as a “wretched”—a cast-off orphan forbidden to read, write, or dream beyond the Abbey walls. But when a wounded squire named Colvin collapses at the kitchen door, Lia sees her chance to change her fate.
Hiding him is a risk she’s willing to take. What she doesn’t expect is to be swept into a deadly hunt, caught between a ruthless king, a rebel uprising, and a sheriff who will stop at nothing.
As ancient powers stir and Lia’s own forbidden magic begins to awaken, she must decide whether to remain hidden—or rise and fight for a destiny she never thought was hers to claim.

A madman with the Spear of Destiny.
Mouth of Madness
Fantasy · Urban Fantasy
Our take
A madman with the Spear of Destiny. A demon lord sent straight from Hell. A military force locked and loaded with silver rounds. And John Cook, caught in the middle—without a plan, and possibly without pants. The world is crumbling, and the cost of saving it may be higher than he can pay. Mouth of Madness is a pulse-pounding supernatural thrill ride!
Choose your retailer
About the book
Hell has broken loose. And this time, it’s personal.
John Cook’s day started like any other—enjoying a fresh mug of joe. Well, technically, blood from a guy named Joe. But before he can savor the moment, everything goes sideways.
An old enemy, armed with the Spear of Destiny and Lucifer’s own power, is finally ready to strike. A demon lord, Asmodeus himself, has been unleashed with a single mission: claim a soul. And a military task force, locked and loaded with silver rounds, is setting the perfect trap.
With the clock ticking and civilization on the brink, John must make an impossible choice. Because to save the world, he may have to sacrifice those closest to him.
Join John in Mouth of Madness—a wild supernatural thrill ride where demons, destiny, and dark humor collide.
