High Prince Rohan and Lord Andry battle unstoppable threats to their homeland in this follow-up fantasy trilogy to the bestselling Dragon Prince series.

The Fall Of Arthur
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · High Fantasy
Our take
The Fall of Arthur brings Tolkien’s unfinished Arthurian poem to Arthur’s final campaign, as he returns to Britain to face Mordred’s betrayal while the fractures caused by Guinevere and Lancelot threaten the kingdom from within. Written in alliterative verse and paired with Christopher Tolkien’s literary analysis, this edition blends tragedy, battle, and scholarship in a work that will especially appeal to readers drawn to Arthurian legend and Tolkien’s broader literary world.

About the book
New York Times bestseller "An incomplete but highly compelling retelling . . . An action-packed, doom-haunted saga, full of vivid natural description."—New York Times Book Review
The Fall of Arthur recounts in alliterative verse the last campaign of King Arthur, who, even as he stands at the threshold of Mirkwood, is summoned back to Britain by news of the treachery of Mordred. Already weakened in spirit by Guinevere’s infidelity with the now-exiled Lancelot, Arthur must rouse his knights to battle one last time against Mordred’s rebels and foreign mercenaries. Powerful, passionate, and filled with vivid imagery, this unfinished work of epic poetry reveals Tolkien’s gift for storytelling at its brilliant best. Christopher Tolkien, editor, contributes three illuminating essays of literary analysis that explore the literary world of King Arthur, reveal the deeper meaning of the verses and the painstaking work his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, applied to bring the poem to a finished form, and investigate the intriguing links between The Fall of Arthur and Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
"Compelling in pace, haunted by loss, it lives up to expectations."—Daily Beast
"Erudite and beautiful." – NPR.org
This definitive edition presents the complete work, contextualized by deep scholarly analysis:
- Tolkien's Lost Arthurian Epic: Read the only major poetic work by J.R.R. Tolkien on the legend of King Arthur, presented here for the first time.
- A Kingdom's Tragic Fall: Follow Arthur's final campaign, from the borders of Mirkwood to a Britain betrayed by Mordred and torn apart by the infidelity of Guinevere and Lancelot.
- Deep Literary Scholarship: Explore three extensive essays by Christopher Tolkien that illuminate the poem's creation, its context in the legend, and his father's painstaking writing process.
- Links to Middle-earth: Discover the intriguing connections between The Fall of Arthur and the vast mythology of The Silmarillion, revealed by the world's foremost Tolkien expert.

Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body, and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina.
The Knight of Swords is the first epic fantasy in the legendary Corum series by a true giant of the genre!

Our take
Three lives, one enduring myth. In Was, Geoff Ryman traces the echoes of The Wizard of Oz through a Kansas farm girl, a haunted star, and a dying man seeking meaning. Lyrical and deeply human, this acclaimed novel reveals how art, memory, and pain converge on the road between truth and imagination.

A grumpy magical historian.

Romance · High Fantasy · Paranormal Romance
Our take
A grumpy magical historian. A chaotic witch running an enchanted inn. And one spell that could change everything. A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping is Sangu Mandanna’s heartwarming rom-com packed with cozy magic, found family, and a talking fox with attitude. If you loved The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, prepare to be spellbound again.

About the book
Sera Swan was once one of Britain’s most powerful witches. Now? She runs an enchanted inn with her recently resurrected great-aunt, manages a sarcastic talking fox, and tries not to think about the magic she lost—or the Guild that exiled her.
But when a long-forgotten spell surfaces, Sera dares to hope she can reclaim her power. The catch? She’ll need the help of Luke Larsen, a brooding magical historian with zero interest in chaotic inns, talking animals, or falling for witches with far too much charm.
As spells misfire and guests cause trouble, Sera and Luke discover that the messiest magic is sometimes the kind you make with your heart.
For fans of cozy fantasy, slow-burn romance, and found family, A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping is pure charm in book form.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The dragon god Lik-Rifa has been freed, and the world trembles in her shadow.
As she gathers her dragonborn forces for a new age of conquest, three warriors stand on the edge of a rising storm. Orka hunts for her stolen son. Varg walks the path of vengeance with the Bloodsworn. Elvar leads the Battle-Grim on a mission bound by blood oath and honor.
But not even their combined strength can stop a god.
Their last chance lies in the madness of another, a forbidden book that might raise Ulfrir, the wolf god of old. What follows will be blood and fire, myth and magic.
The Hunger of the Gods is brutal, cinematic Norse-inspired fantasy from one of the genre’s fiercest voices.

About the book
The New York Times-bestselling sharp-witted, debut high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, evil wizards and a garlic festival - all at once. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, K. J. Parker and Travis Baldree.
It’s bad enough waking up in a half-destroyed evil wizard’s workshop with no eyebrows, no memories, and no idea how long you have before the Dread Lord Whomever shows up to murder you horribly and then turn your skull into a goblet or something.
It’s a lot worse when you realize that Dread Lord Whomever is… you.
Gav isn’t really sure how he ended up with a castle full of goblins, or why he has a princess locked in a cell. All he can do is play along with his own evil plan in hopes of getting his memories back before he gets himself killed.
But as he realizes that nothing – from the incredibly tasteless cloak adorned with flames to the aforementioned princess – is quite what it seems, Gav must face up to all the things the Dread Lord Gavrax has done. And he’ll have to answer the hardest question of all – who does he want to be?
A high fantasy farce featuring killer moat squid, toxic masculinity, an evil wizard convocation, and a garlic festival. All at once. All in all, Dread Lord Gavrax has had better weeks.
