About the book
"A fast-paced adventure combined with an engrossing mystery, all set in a unique and original fantasy world. I can't wait to find out what happens next!" —Martha Wells, Hugo Award-winning author on For the Killing of Kings
In this sequel to For the Killing of Kings, Howard Andrew Jones returns to the ring-sworn champions of the Altenerai in Upon the Flight of the Queen to continue this thrilling, imaginative and immersive epic fantasy trilogy.
While the savage Naor clans prepare to march on the heart of the Allied Realms, Rylin infiltrates the highest of the enemy ranks to learn their secrets and free hundreds of doomed prisoners. His ailing mentor Varama leads the ever-dwindling Altenerai corps in a series of desperate strikes to cripple the Naor occupiers, hoping for a relief force that may not come in time to save what's left of the city and her charges.
Elenai, Kyrkenall, and the kobalin Ortok ride through the storm-wracked Shifting Lands to rekindle an alliance with the ko'aye, the only possible counter to the terrible Naor dragons. Even if they survive the hazardous trek deep through kobalin territory to find the winged lizards, though, the three are unlikely to get a warm reception, for the queen of the five realms refused to aid the ko'aye when their homelands were attacked, and the creatures have long memories.
While the Altenerai fight impossible odds to save the realms, their queen delves further and deeper into the magic of the mysterious hearthstones in a frantic attempt to unlock secrets that might just destroy them all.
Praised for his skills in drafting modern epic fantasy that engrosses and entertains, Howard Andrew Jones delivers a sequel that expands the amazing world, relationships, and adventure introduced in the first book of this series.

Tuyo
Fantasy · Coming of Age · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Ryo inGara expects to die in battle, but when his warleader leaves him as a tuyo—an enemy sacrifice—he’s captured by a lord of the summer country and drawn into a conflict far larger than their peoples’ war. As darker forces rise, Ryo must confront shifting loyalties and decide whether to aid the man who holds his life in his hands.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Raised a warrior in the harsh winter country, Ryo inGara has always been willing to die for his family and his tribe. When war erupts against the summer country, the prospect of death in battle seems imminent. But when his warleader leaves Ryo as a sacrifice -- a tuyo -- to die at the hands of their enemies, he faces a fate he never imagined.
Ryo's captor, a lord of the summer country, may be an enemy . . . but far worse enemies are moving, with the current war nothing but the opening moves in a hidden game Ryo barely glimpses, a game in which all his people may be merely pawns. Suddenly Ryo finds his convictions overturned and his loyalties uncertain. Should he support the man who holds him prisoner, the only man who may be able to defeat their greater enemy? And even if he does, can he persuade his people to do the same?

Their only hope lies in facing the terrors within. A gripping new fantasy from Brady Hunsaker.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Magic is earned by venturing through the depths of Vanalf, a dangerous cave filled with monsters, and depending on how people survive, they emerge with different powers.
As an initiate, Hallik is determined to go through Vanalf despite the danger, hoping that the magic will help him locate his lost father, but when monsters start showing up on their island, the entire nation is on high alert. This could only mean one thing. The shield that has been protecting them from the fallen world is failing, and it’s only a matter of time before it breaks completely.
Hallik pairs up with three others, hoping they can find a way to restore the shield, but their path must first take them through the depths of Vanalf.

Our take
When a human warrior strikes down a being long believed to be a god, centuries of subjugation fracture and the balance of power shifts. Raithe, a reluctant hero, joins Suri, a young seer, and Persephone, an emerging leader, as rising omens point toward rebellion and ruin. From Michael J. Sullivan, acclaimed for sweeping fantasy in the tradition of the genre’s modern masters.
Choose your retailer
About the book
One of fantasy’s finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground.
Michael J. Sullivan’s trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original five-book series.
Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever.
Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.

When failed performer Danny Kendrick lands in a chaotic fantasy realm filled with barbarians, assassins, and a snarky AI, heroism isn’t on his to-do list.
An Unexpected Hero
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
When failed performer Danny Kendrick lands in a chaotic fantasy realm filled with barbarians, assassins, and a snarky AI, heroism isn’t on his to-do list. But survival is. An Unexpected Hero by Rhett C. Bruno and Jaime Castle delivers laugh-out-loud adventure, quirky companions, and the most reluctant hero this side of the multiverse.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Some heroes are chosen. Danny Kendrick just got really, really unlucky.
A washed-up performer who never caught a break, Danny wanted applause, not adventure. But after ticking off the wrong guy, he’s yanked from his mediocre life and dropped into a world of barbarians, elves, and unpredictable magic that feels one bad joke away from a Renaissance Fair gone wrong.
Armed with nothing but charm, wit, and an ancient lute he probably shouldn’t have accepted, Danny must survive long enough to figure out why every powerful faction suddenly wants him dead.
From Rhett C. Bruno and Jaime Castle, An Unexpected Hero is a hilarious fantasy isekai LitRPG packed with friendship, chaos, and the discovery that even the most reluctant adventurer can steal the spotlight.
