Par Ann Sei Lin. 2024
Ann Sei Lin's enchanting and action-packed debut, first in a series, will sweep readers away to an aerial world of…
magic, danger and political intrigue. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Lim, Kalynn Bayron and the films of Studio Ghibli.Kurara has never known any other life than being a servant onboard the Midori, a flying ship serving the military elite of the Mikoshiman Empire, a vast realm of floating cities. Kurara also has a secret — she can make folded paper figures come to life with a flick of her finger. But when the Midori is attacked and Kurara's secret turns out to be a power treasured across the empire, a gut-wrenching escape leads her to the gruff Himura, who takes her under his wing. Under Himura's tutelage, and with the grudging support and friendship of his crew, Kurara learns to hunt shikigami — wild paper spirits sought after by the Princess of Mikoshima.But what does the princess really want with the shikigami? Are they merely enchanted figures without will or thought, or are they beings with souls and minds of their own? As fractures begin to appear both across the empire and within Kurara's understanding of herself, Kurara will have to decide who she can trust. Her fate, and the fate of her friends — and even the world — may rest on her choice. And time is running out.Asha and Baz Meet Mary Sherman Morgan (G - Reference,information And Interdisciplinary Subjects Ser.)

A plucky, sardonic con artist must &“prophesize&” her way out of peril—discovering along the way that power and politics are…
nothing more than stories sold as truth.Kalyna&’s family has the Gift: the ability to see the future. For generations, they traveled the four kingdoms of the Tetrarchia selling their services as soothsayers. Every child of their family is born with this Gift—everyone except Kalyna.So far, Kalyna has used informants and trickery to falsify prophecies for coin, scrounging together a living for her deteriorating father and cruel grandmother. But Kalyna&’s reputation for prophecy precedes her, and poverty turns to danger when she is pressed into service by the spymaster to Rotfelsen.Kalyna is to use her &“Gift&” to uncover threats against Rotfelsen&’s king, her family held hostage to ensure her good behavior. But politics are devious; the king&’s enemies abound, and Kalyna&’s skills for investigation and deception are tested to the limit. Worse, the conspiracy she uncovers points to a larger threat, not only to Rotfelsen but to the Tetrarchia itself. Kalyna is determined to protect her family and newfound friends, but as she is drawn deeper into palace intrigue, she can no longer tell if her manipulations are helping prevent the Tetrarchia&’s destruction—or if her lies will bring about its prophesized downfall.Monsters (The Reckoner)

Par Mark Cecil. 2024
A large-hearted reimagining of beloved all-American legends, this epic debut novel brings men of myth Paul Bunyan and John Henry…
alive like never before, teaming up for an adventure quest with deeper interrogations of race, class, and industrialization.Paul Bunyan—legendary larger-than-life American lumberjack—is a man down on his luck. With a load of family debts on his broad back, he ekes out a miserable miner&’s life in Lump Town, a bleak hamlet controlled by famed industrialist El Boffo. When Bunyan's wife Lucette falls ill with a disease caused by the toxic mineral Lump, he embarks on a quest to save her. His only guide: the Chilali—a mysterious creature who speaks only in questions.Bunyan&’s path leads to The Windy City—and to John Henry. Henry is not yet the &“steel-drivin&’&” man known to folklore, but a fugitive on the run from a rigged, racist prison system. As Bunyan and Henry strive to reunite with the families they love, they must work together to solve riddles, forge weapons, brawl with a behemoth, and confront at every turn the relentless, duplicitous El Boffo.A richly imaginative reinvention of myth, Bunyan and Henry is at once a timeless quest, a fresh origin story, and an urgent modern fable that wrestles with the two sides of the American dream—its wild idealism and cruel underbelly—to inspire the awakening of the folk hero in us all.The Emperor and the Endless Palace: A Romantasy Novel

feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?&”In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue.In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead.And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they&’ve met before.Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them.As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.An unpredictable roller coaster of a debut novel, The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a genre-bending spicy romantasy that challenges everything we think we know about true love.AUTHOR'S NOTE: The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a heart-pounding romantasy, full of shocking twists, morally shifty characters, and erotic thrills.

Par James Lovegrove. 2024
The mind-bending original adventures of Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, are brought to life for a new era by New…
York Times-bestselling author James Lovegrove.A self-centred healer, Stephen Strange is arrogant, but it's almost justified. After all, he is one of the best surgeons in the country. However, that all takes a dark turn following a horrific car crash.The doctor survives but at a great cost: his hands are irreparably damaged, and he can no longer perform surgery. No doctor can help him. Nor can faith healers or gurus. Nearing the end of his rope, he seeks out mystic help from the Ancient One, a man rumoured to possess unearthly talents. The Ancient One isn&’t able to heal his hands, but he teaches Stephen the mystic arts as well as discipline, self-restraint, and, eventually, selflessness. These qualities soon lead him to clash with his fellow student, Baron Mordo. After completing his training, Doctor Strange leaves the temple and uses his magical powers to defend the Earth from arcane threats that few humans can conceive of— battling rival sorcerers, thwarting Nightmare, the malevolent ruler of dreams, and daring to defy the terrifying despot of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu. This creative novelization of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko&’s original Doctor Strange stories sees Doctor Strange magically transform from a vain egoist to one of Earth&’s greatest defenders.Divine Makes a Splash!

A classic queer text of trauma, written by one of the most talented novelists of her generation.The reason it&’s never…
just once is the same reason money&’s only a part of it. Most anyone can take or leave that, though they don&’t think they can. The cover story of all time, that&’s what money is. The excuse of excuses no one will question because they so much need to use it themselves.Published by Doubleday in 1994, Heather Lewis&’s chilling debut novel took place on the northeastern equestrian show-riding circuit, to which Lewis herself belonged in her teens. Expelled from boarding school, its fifteen-year-old narrator moves numbly through a world of motel rooms, heroin, dyke love, and doped horses. Kirkus Reviews found it &“brutal, sensual, honest, seductive … a powerful debut,&” while the New York Times found the book &“grating and troublesome … it&’s difficult to imagine a more passive specimen.&” Almost immediately, Lewis began writing Notice, a novel that moves even further into dark territory. The teenaged narrator Nina begins turning tricks in the parking lot of the train station near the Westchester County home of her absent parents. She soon falls into a sadomasochistic relationship with a couple. Arrested, she&’s saved by a counselor and admitted to a psychiatric facility. But these soft forms of control turn out to be even worse. Writing in the register of an emotional fugue state, Notice&’s helpless but all-knowing narrator is as smooth and sharp as a knife.Rejected by every publisher who read it during Lewis&’s life, Notice was eventually published by Serpent&’s Tail in 2004, two years after her death. The book, long out of print, emerged as a classic queer text of trauma, written by one of the most talented novelists of her generation.Version Control (The Reckoner Rises)

Par Sylvia Izzo Hunter. 2015
In a nineteenth-century Britain shaped by magicks both ancient and new, three uneasy heroes find themselves caught in the plots…
of a foreign nation, with their lives—and loves—at risk…Sophie Marshall, Princess Royal of Britain and the only woman student at Oxford, wants nothing more than to learn without constant scrutiny. When her husband, Gray, is invited to teach shapeshifting in more equitable Alba, she leaps at the chance for more freedom. Still, Alba has problems of its own, warns Joanna, her sister who’s apprenticing in statecraft: famine, unrest, and divisive news to come. And Sophie isn’t the only scholar with secrets.The Marshalls’ delight in exploring a lively, cosmopolitan university community is shadowed with rumors no one will discuss: of clan upheavals, strange powers from the land, blights on crops and livestock. When she and Gray are forced to separate, Sophie questions even her own suspicions. But once Joanna arrives in Alba with her mercurial friend, Gwendolen, the danger is past doubting. Armed only with subtlety, cleverness, and outrageous daring, the women will have to travel through a hostile countryside, find Gray, and root out a conspiracy that threatens their survival—and Alba’s future.Praise for Lady of Magick:“Another intriguing fantasy set in an alternate history version of Regency-era Europe.” — Library Journal“The second installment in Hunter’s Noctis Magicae series will attract both familiar and new readers. ...

husband must bend all their learning toward saving the nation from ruin…Amid the bustle of Oxford University, Lady Morgan College has waited for two hundred years, its grounds overgrown, its buildings abandoned. Sophie Marshall is determined to revive magickal education for women in Britain, and where better than its first seat? The mystery of Lady Morgan’s closure has eluded everyone before her, but Sophie has unique advantages: a degree in magickal theory, a stomach for terrifying revelations—and a royal father who owes her a favor.For Sophie’s beloved husband Gray must leave her again, at the request of his king, to spy on a peculiar army massing at Britain’s borders. Led by the so-called Emperor of Gaul, the army wins its battles unopposed, absorbing enemies as if swallowing them whole. Gray fears the Emperor has rediscovered an ancient and deadly truth of the magick that connects their lands. They may all fall under such uncanny dominion—unless Sophie can unearth the secret and rush to Gray’s aid. And they’ll need all the help they can get…Praise for A Season of Spells:“Hunter’s characters and setting feel fully formed, and the story moves briskly through its twists and turns.
