CONAN
THE WANDERER

Conan, nearly invincible and the mightiest of mankind's heroes, finally meats his match!

"No wor was spoken.  No word was necessary....  Kosatral came upon him in an irresistible surge.  There was a fleeting concussion, a fierce writhing and intertwining of limbs and bodies, and then Conan sprang clear.  In that instant of contact he had experienced the ultimate madness of blasphemed nature; no human flesh had bruised his, but metal animated and sentient; it was a body of living metal which opposed his...."

This the most fabulous figure of epic sword-and-sorcery fiction meets diabolical dangers in the four superb Conan adventures included in this volume.

A new, original novella in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series that picks up several months after the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin.

Months after the explosive events in A Court of Wings and Ruin, Feyre, Rhys, and their companions are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated - scars that will have far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.

"Tell me what you see."

"A world divided in two."

Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court - but at a steep cost.  Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court.  As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms - and she might be key to stopping it.  But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future - and the future of a world torn apart.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sarah J. Maas expands Feyre 's world beyond even her wildest imagination in this seductive and stunning sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses.

From audible.com:

Sarah J. Maas' sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta.

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.

The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other.

Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.

Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

She stole a life.
Now she must pay with her heart.

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution.  Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal but Tamlin - one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.

As Feyre dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility to a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae.  But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it... or doom Tamlin - and his world - forever.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive and breathtaking new book that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into her most unforgettable story yet.

Jennifer Ikeda was born and raised in Oakland, California.  She received a BFA in drama from the Juilliard School, and she is an actress working in New York City and regional theaters across the United States.  She currently resides in Brooklyn.

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to ather information on Tamlin's maneuverings and the invading king threatens to bring  Prythian to its knees.  But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit - and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well.  As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords - and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

In this thrilling third book of the Court of Thorns and Roses series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all.

"QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST
SWORD-AND-SORCERY
FICTION EVER."
The Cleveland Plain Dealer

The Crab Marches!

The Crab have defended the Emerald Empire against Shadowlands hordes for a millennium and beyond. Nothing will drive them from the Carpenter's Wall.

Nothing but the destruction of the empire itself.

Plague has gripped the land, dangling Rokugan by a thread. The defenders of the empire must now become its saviors by doing the unthinkable:
Joining the enemy.

A Spring of War.

Doji Hoturi, the young Champion of the Crane, is everything a samurai could wish to be: swift of sword and pure of heart... but his eyes hide a terrible secret.

Bloody magic whispers through Rokugan's greatest cities, and the undead servants of a Dark God rise. From the shadows, Doji Hoturi watches as a new champion of evil lifts his sword and laughs - and the face beneath the armor is his own.

A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS

Jordan was a ghost in Castle Roogna now, spending his time with little five-year-old Ivy and watching his own past unfold on the magic tapestry.  But once he had been a valorous knight, riding his ghost horse Pook on a fabulous and dangerous mission.

He had been betrayed with a cruel lie by two wily magicians and the woman he loved.  He had been killed in the end, and his bones had been scattered.  Now he could not even remember where they had been buried.

That was important, because Jordan's talent had been to recover from almost any injury, provided enough of his body could be assembled to grow together again.  But all that had been four hundred years before.  Nobody who was alive today knew or cared where his bones might be.

It was hardly the proper ending for a gallant adventure!

Fleeing from Ebou Dar with the kidnapped Daughter of the Nine Moons, whom he is fated to marry, Mat Cauthon learns that he can neither keep her nor let her go, not in safety for either of them, for both the Shadow and the might of the Seanchan Empire are in deadly pursuit.

At Tar Valon, Egwene al'Vere, the young Amyrlin of the rebel Aes Sedai, lays siege to the heart of Aes Sedai power, but she must win quickly, with as little bloodshed as possible, for unless the Aes Sedai are reunited, only the male Asha'man will remain to defend the world against the Dark One, and nothing can hold the Asha'man themselves back from total power except the Aes Sedai and a unified White Tower.

In Andor, Elayne Trakland fights for the Lion Throne that is hers by right, but enemies and Darkfriends surround her, plotting her destruction. If she fails, Andor may fall to the Shadow, and the Dragon Reborn with it.

Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn himself, has cleansed the Dark One's taint from the male half of the True Source, and everything has changed. Yet nothing has, for only men who can channel believe that saidin is clean again, and a man who can channel is still hated and feared-even one prophesied to save the world.

The once-high technological civilization of that world had again fallen to primitive barbarism - walled cities, warring nomadic tribes, and savage chieftains.

But none were so fierce as the mythic Midanna Amazons, and none of the Midanna so untamed as Jalav, war leader of the fearsome Hosta clan.

And when thieves ransacked the Tower of the Crystal of Mida, slew the warrior guards and stole the holy Crystal, nothing could cool Jalav's fury.  Though she led the Hosta to the dreaded slavery-darkened cities and beyond, she cared not, for nothing could halt her in her need to find the thieves, avenge her slain warriors, and bring the Crystal of Mida back to the home-tents of the Midanna.

From Brandon Sanderson—author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War—comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale (like Edgedancer before it) gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine.

When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akina, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea.

Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Praise for Night Watch
"Urban and sleek... a promising entry into what could be a modern horror epic." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Compelling... [A] fantastic American debut... potent as a shot of vodka." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

The second in a blockbuster series of novels from Rissia's most popular science fiction author, Day Watch brings us back into the hyperimaginative world of Sergei Lukyanenko and continues the dramatic battle between good and evil, light and dark, day and night.

Set in a modern-day Moscow, the epic saga chronicles the eternal war of the "Others," and ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who must swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light.  The agents of Dark - The Day Watch - keep an eye during the day, while the agents of Light keep watch over the night.  For a thousand years  a treaty between the two sides has maintained an uneasy balance, but when a very potent artifact is stolen from the Inquisition - an impartial group of Others who keep watch over all - the consequences are dire for both sides.

Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, as it is told in part by a beautiful but troubled young witch.  When she falls in love with a handsom young Light One, the balance is threatened and a death must be avenged.  Replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, Day Watch is fueled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic.  It is a fast-paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever.

SERGEI LUKYANENKO was born in Kazakhstan and educated as a psychiatrist.  He began publishing science fiction in the 1980s and has published over twenty-five books.  The three volumes of the Night Watch series have sold more than two million copies worldwide.

ANDREW BROMFIELD is a founding editor of the Russian literature journal Glas.  He is best known for his acclaimed translations of Victor Pelevin and Boris Akunin, and his work has been short listed for numerous translation prizes.

Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the 'everyday' world isfull of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in.

Luckily, however, he's not entirely alone.  Although most people don't believe in magic, the Chicago P.D. has a Special Investigations department, headed by his good friend Karrin Murphy. They deal with the... stranger cases.

It's down to Karrin that Harry sneaks into Graceland Cemetery to meet a vampire named Mavra. Mavra has evidence that would destroy Karrin's career, and her demands are simple. She wants the Word of Kemmler - and all the power that comes with it. But first, Harry's keen to know what he'd be handing over. Before long he's racing against time, and six necromancers, to get the Word. And to prevent a Halloween that would truly wake the dead.
