Their inseparable bond becomes hard to maintain as they grow older, but when they both get pregnant at the same time, their relationship is rekindled. After an accident causes Roya to miscarry and Tala to go into labor, grief, jealousy, suspicion, and guilt fracture that recently renewed relationship. Delving deep into the human psyche, Nahid Rachlin intricately explores themes of sisterly identity, betrayal, envy, depression, loss, and the impact of memories.

In the fictional town of Durham, The Pentlands were a proud and wealthy family with a rich history dating back to the founding colony of Massachusetts Bay. Everything was how it should be with John, the elder patriarch; his son Anson and his wife Olivia; and their children, Jack and Sybil, carrying on in the way that upper-class society families do. But the world is changing. Old money is moving out and dying off. New money is moving in. The “old ways,” of which The Pentlands are accustomed are becoming a thing of the past and in the midst of it all, Olivia Pentland is feeling increasingly trapped by her mundane life and loveless marriage. With Sybil and a host of other familiar faces returning to Durham for the fall, the routine life of the Pentland’s is thrown off kilter by internal scandal, familial secrets, and a newcomer who vies for Olivia’s attention. Pushed to the limit by these trials and eventual tragedy, The Pentland family is faced with a choice to either break free from the mold of old aristocracy or attempt to move stiflingly through it.

Introducing Tatsuhiko Shibusawa—Japan’s Italo Calvino—in this fantastical tale of a Japanese prince who encounters both beauty and danger on a pilgrimage to India.

A fantasy set in the ninth century, Takaoka’s Travels recounts the adventures of a Japanese prince-turned-monk on a pilgrimage to India. As Prince Takaoka and his companions pass through faraway lands, the rules of the ordinary world are upended, and they find curiosities and miracles wherever they go. The travelers encounter strange creatures--a white ape who guards a harem of bird-women, beasts who feed on dreams, a dog-headed man who can see hundreds of years into the future. On the high seas, their ship is boarded by ghostly pirates and driven back by supernatural winds, and still they push on. At every turn, Prince Takaoka is drawn to the beauty around him, whether it takes the form of a perfectly shaped pearl or a giant blood-red flower, but such beauty proves to be extremely dangerous. Seductive and mysterious, offering high adventure yet deeply human, this is a novel that transcends all expectations.

With an afterword by translator David Boyd.

An unflinching story about Arab masculinity and homoeroticism

Furat, a Syrian in his early 20s, visits Sibki Park in Damascus, one of the city’s most popular cruising areas. There he learns about the hammams, secret meeting places for gay men located throughout the old city. Inside these public baths, the air is thick with the scent of bay laurel soap, and naked men hide in the steam. Furat faces sometimes violent disapproval from all levels of society—regime, religion, the man in the street—and yet he manages to find the love he’s been seeking just before his world collapses and he’s forced to flee. Selamlik is the story of Furat’s journey, along with that of other refugees. It’s a journey in which they face physical and economic hardship, draconian migration laws, and the unwelcome grief, shame, and hatred they’ve carried with them from their ever more distant pasts. Despite everything, Furat remains steadfast in his pursuit of passion, pleasure, and love.

An epic, deeply moving coming-of-age novel about young love and lasting friendships forged in the years leading up to the Tiananmen Square student protests, for readers of The Beekeeper of Aleppo and The Night Tiger.

As a child in Beijing in the 1970s, Lai lives with her family in a lively, working-class neighborhood near the heart of the city. Thoughtful yet unassuming, she spends her days with her friends beyond the attention of her parents: Her father is a reclusive figure who lingers in the background, while her mother, an aging beauty and fervent patriot, is quick-tempered and preoccupied with neighborhood gossip. Only Lai’s grandmother, a formidable and colorful maverick, seems to really see Lai and believe that she can blossom beyond their circumstances.

But Lai is quickly awakened to the harsh realities of the Chinese state. A childish prank results in a terrifying altercation with police that haunts her for years; she also learns that her father, like many others, was broken during the Cultural Revolution. As she enters adolescence, Lai meets a mysterious and wise bookseller who introduces her to great works—Hemingway, Camus, and Orwell, among others—that open her heart to the emotional power of literature and her mind to thrillingly different perspectives. Along the way, she experiences the ebbs and flows of friendship, the agony of grief, and the first steps and missteps in love.

A gifted student, Lai wins a scholarship to study at the prestigious Peking University where she soon falls in with a theatrical band of individualists and misfits dedicated to becoming their authentic selves, despite the Communist Party’s insistence on conformity—and a new world opens before her. When student resistance hardens under the increasingly restrictive policies of the state, the group gets swept up in the fervor, determined to be heard, joining the masses of demonstrators and dreamers who display remarkable courage and loyalty in the face of danger. As 1989 unfolds, the spirit of change is in the air. . .

Drawn from her own life, Lai Wen’s novel is mesmerizing and haunting—a universal yet intimate story of youth and self-discovery that plays out against the backdrop of a watershed historic event. Tiananmen Square captures the hope and idealism of a new generation and the lasting price they were willing to pay in the name of freedom.

The Book of Conjurations, Irizelma Robles’s fourth poetry collection, transforms poet, reader and language through its conjurations. Among these pages, we find all forms of material existence transmuted. Barbwire, rain, soul, sugarcane, scream are all raw materials for alchemy, or poetry.

Drawing from the periodic table, precious and semi-precious stones, minerals, rocks, the elements, flora and fauna from Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America, and her memories, Robles creates an alternate cosmogony that neither rejects nor unquestioningly accepts Western medical discourse, nor offers up one of many parallel traditions and bodies of knowledge. These poems are written to conjure another life out of this one, a way forward despite and with the poet’s neurodivergence, sadness, depression, and anxiety. Irizelma imagines herself as the poet-alchemist in order to conjure another self in that poetic voice, one that not only survived these hospitalizations, but that found metaphor, imagen, and poetic figure in the basest of elements. It is also a voice that found gold to be as useless as it was for all who sought it, a tool of power that ultimately became dead weight in her search for a way out.

Irish author (Eleanor) Norah Hoult (1898–1984) traveled in prominent literary circles and corresponded actively with some of the leading Irish authors of her time, including Brigid Brophy, Sean O’Casey, and Sean O’Faolain. Critics today compare her not only to O’Faolain and Frank O’Connor, but also to novelists Kate O’Brien and Edna O’Brien. Despite her reputation and a forty-four year publishing career, however, Hoult and her work remain surprisingly neglected.

This edition rectifies this critical oversight and introduces Hoult’s short story collection, 'Poor Women!', to a new generation of readers. 'Poor Women!' displays Hoult’s subtlety and humor as an author and her nature as a keen witness to human frailty. In these stories, Hoult unflaggingly highlights the restrictions imposed on her characters by society and its institutions: she thus provides a window into the social, literary and political milieu from which she hails.

Largely cited for its engagement with women’s and religious issues, 'Poor Women!' thus also displays a keen awareness of wider historical issues like the challenges of war and of cultural identity construction. Her incisive portraits capture the emotional paralysis of her characters and their self-delusions. Such thematic and stylistic emphases invite further comparison to better-known contemporary Irish literary giants like James Joyce and Mary Lavin.

Blindspot in America gives a provocative depiction of some of the realities immigrants face in the United States—racism and discrimination—but also their hopes and faith in a country that promises freedom and opportunity to all.

Kamao is the son of a prominent Ghanaian academic and incumbent minister of health and is devoted to all that America symbolizes. After immigrating to the United States in pursuit of higher education and the American Dream, he becomes unwittingly entangled with American politics when he meets Lindsey McAdams, the daughter of an influential, anti-immigration senator. As the couple’s feelings grow, so too does the senator’s animosity toward Kamao. Despite support from fellow immigrants Lazo, Ayefumi, and Dania—who follow American Dreams of their own—Kamao soon finds himself drawn into intrigues hidden from the American public that make him question himself and his adopted country. When Kamao is implicated in a murder, Lindsey’s loyalties are tested, Dania must decide if she is willing to risk her own future and security for the sake of justice, and Kamao discovers how far he’ll go to fulfill his American Dream.

Described by T.S. Eliot as “one of the greatest short stories ever written,” The Dead is a beautifully crafted novella by Irish novelist and literary critic, James Joyce.

It’s Christmastime in Dublin. The snow is falling. And a thirty-year strong annual Christmas party is underway. Gabriel Conroy, nephew to the hosts, frets over his impending after-dinner speech, while Gretta, his wife, wanders the affair thinking of her childhood home. The lavish festivities proceed in full swing, Gabriel’s long-awaited speech ends in a rousing rendition of “For They Are Jolly Gay Fellow,” and as the party winds to a close, the guests spill out into the winter night…all except for Gretta.

At the top of the stairs she stands chillingly still, seemingly mesmerized by the sounds of a soft song being sung in another room. And while the Conroys eventually leave, Gretta’s mind remains with the music—haunted by a long-lost memory that will shake her husband to his core.

James Joyce’s The Dead is a critically acclaimed novella that explores how much of living we owe to lives of the dead and how much the ghosts of our past truly shape us.

Return to Dalton as Shannon Bowring draws another stunningly human portrait of small town America. 

It’s been five years since Bridget Theroux’s death shocked the small town of Dalton, Maine, leaving behind husband Nate and daughter Sophie, now a vibrant young child. Nate doesn’t always know how to answer her questions, but he is intent on raising her with joy—and shielding her from her grandmother, Annette, who remains dangerously locked away in her grief.

After his first year away at college, Greg Fortin is back in town for the summer to work at the family store. It’s expected he'll take over the hardware business eventually, but finding the words to tell them no—and the truth about who he is—has become his own Everest. Rose’s abusive ex, Tommy finally disappeared a few years ago, though sometimes his presence in the eyes of her oldest son unnerves her. She and Nate are finding themselves drawn together by their children’s playdates, and into a delicate balance between friendship and the possibility of more. 

And Trudy and Bev, always so sure of their love for each other, find themselves rocked when Trudy’s husband Richard suffers a heart attack, bringing into focus all the guilt she has felt about their empty marriage for years.

Shannon Bowring demonstrates once again that she understands exactly where the heart of a story lies. Where the Forest Meets the River is a poignant return to the small town of Dalton, whose inhabitants continue to startle and humble both themselves—and us.

On the outskirts of Belén del Chamí, a town that has yet to appear on any map of Colombia, the mute Salomón Palacios is murdered a few steps away from his home.

Yet as Hipólita faces her husband’s murderers on her desperate journey, she finds an unexpected calling to stay alive. This poetic and hypnotizing novel, told from the perspective of Salomón’s ghost, denounces the brutal killings of innocent citizens and at the same time celebrates the invisible: imagination, memories, hope, and the connection to afterlife.

Written by the author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, The Blue Castle is L. M. Montgomery's sophomore adult novel and a classic tale of romance.

By society's standards, twenty-nine year old Valancy Stirling is an old maid.

Winner of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, Empty Cages is an urgent and raw confessional of memory and family and all that is lost and won in one woman's lifetime

The discovery of an old tin of chocolates, its contents long ago devoured, marks the entry into this intimate story that reaches back through a lifetime of memories in search of self and home.

In celebration and suffering, triumph and disappointment, Qandil’s voice is unflinching, revealing both a determination to speak the truth and a poetic sensitivity that is disarming.

Recipient of the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, this fictional debut marks the arrival of a stunning new voice.

Women wander through small-town streets as they ponder love, allegiance, and Edith Wharton.

In Flick’s world, bears don’t just roam the wild—they play basketball, dance, and even work as midlevel business professionals. Through this memorable cast of characters, Flick reveals intriguing secrets about humanity and yearning with her signature blend of stark honesty and humor.

Tres mujeres en tres épocas diferentes enfrentan peligro y brujería en esta inquietante saga de terror multigeneracional.

Minerva es una estudiante de posgrado en historia de la literatura de terror, y está investigando la vida de Beatrice Tremblay, una autora oscura de relatos macabros. En el proceso de armar su tesis, Minerva descubre que la novela más famosa de Tremblay se inspiró en una historia real: décadas antes, durante la Gran Depresión, Tremblay asistió a la misma universidad donde Minerva estudia ahora y se obsesionó con su hermosa y sobrenatural compañera de cuarto, quien luego desapareció en circunstancias misteriosas.

A medida que Minerva se adentra cada vez más en el manuscrito de Tremblay, comienza a sentir que la fuerza maligna que acechaba a Tremblay podría seguir caminando por los pasillos del campus. Estos inquietantes sucesos también evocan las historias que Nana Alba contaba sobre su infancia en el México de principios de 1900, donde tuvo un aterrador encuentro con una bruja.

Minerva sospecha que la misma sombra que oscureció las vidas de su bisabuela y de Beatrice Tremblay ahora amenaza la suya en la Massachusetts de los años noventa. Una carrera académica puede ser una búsqueda agotadora, pero podría volverse mortal cuando la brujería está involucrada.

Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga.

Minerva is a graduate student on the history of horror literature, and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva reveals that Tremblay’s most famous novel was inspired by a true story: Decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay’s manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay might still walk into the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch.

Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.

Unfortunately, trouble follows him everywhere, bringing not only the usual battles, bloodshed, and general chaos but also the introduction of an all-new nemesis.

Known for their brutality, the Scatterbugs are a gang from the Tier-2 town of Notsburg with an unpleasant reputation for doing whatever it takes to get what they want. Taking over the Howlers’ territory seems to be at the top of their to-do list, but Gary isn’t one to stand down easily. And when his best friend, Kai, is savagely maimed and mutilated, things get personal.

With his friends, his gang, and what few other allies he can gather by his side, Gary sets out on a blood crusade for revenge. It should be a fight like any other, but the Scatterbugs have a surprise of their own. It seems a werewolf is among their ranks. And not enhanced or tech-driven either. Rather, a real, dyed-in-the-pelt, nightmarish werewolf.

Now, facing off against an absolutely ruthless opponent more powerful than him, Gary will need to muster all his strength if he hopes to avoid being the creature’s next prey . . .

Potestia may not have been built in a day, but it’ll burn in one. Lillith has already freed its slaves and relieved the people of their former king, but she doesn’t plan to stop there. With many of her safe houses discovered and enemies lurking in every corner, she has little time to rest anyway. Her only choice is to keep fighting. At least she has the wonderful Sarafyna to warm her heart—and watch her back.

There’s certainly plenty of work for them to do. Lillith and Sara are organizing communities, delivering essential supplies, and educating the common folk about mana. But Lillith isn’t sure just how firm a guiding hand she should have. She wants to empower these people to imagine their own world, without a monarch, but she can’t simply step back and allow another Potestia to rise up . . .

Unfortunately, some of the commoners want another monarch: Lillith. And they’d like her to find a king as well. Matchmakers, however, are the least of Lillith’s troubles. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and waiting to trap her, and all the while a war is brewing. A man claiming to be the rightful king wants to begin a revolution of his own, but can Lillith accept his vision over hers? Or will she be too busy lying in bed, fighting the deadly threat growing inside of her?

It’s a lot for one young woman to carry on her shoulders, but as usual Lillith is determined to meet the challenge.

Now Marley’s a fragment of her former self. If it weren’t for her sister, Harper, who convinces Marley to start a new tea business with her, she would never leave the house.

They never even wanted to be stepbrothers—but now, in front of the camera, they’re getting much closer—in this edgy, emotional story of forbidden passion.

Avi’s into old-school emo bands, true crime, and cryptids. And if not many others share his interests, he’s cool with that, as long as he doesn’t run out of weed. But then he moves from Brooklyn to Boston with his mom, which isn’t a big deal . . . until she announces she’s seeing someone and he happens to have a son Avi’s age.

As his mom’s relationship gets more serious, they all move in together, and under the same roof as his future stepbrother, Avi’s never felt more out of place. Kyran’s everything Avi isn’t: athletic, popular, supremely confident—and undeniably hot. The only thing the two have in common is their opposition to officially becoming related. Oh, and they’re both entering their freshman year at the same college.

At first, they’re hopeful their very different social circles will minimize any on-campus encounters. But the more they try to avoid each other, the more a sizzling tension blazes up between the quirky artist and the control-freak quarterback with a traumatic past. Then, just when they think things can’t get any worse, a family financial collapse leads the desperate pair to collab on a little content creation.

Behind closed doors, Avi and Kyran start making illicit videos that quickly bring in a steady stream of money—and wildly thirsty comments. But it’s strictly a business partnership to pay for school . . . Isn’t it? With their deepest secrets and desires stirring as they begin to rely on each other both on and off camera, they’ll be forced to ask themselves: Are they really only doing it for the fans?

In this suspenseful, dark-romance sequel that blends Ready or Not with You, he hunted her for leaving—now she’s hunting him right back.

Morgan Steele came to the snowy Berkshires with her two best friends for a stay at the Namaste Center, a luxury wellness retreat for elite women, to get away from her cheating ex, Noah Barron. But one week later, her friends are dead, and she’s on the run from a gang of patriarchal killers called Sanctum Victus. Because the Namaste Center was no wellness retreat . . .

No, it was a trap set to punish Morgan for breaking up with Noah. Noah who’s been stalking her since the day she left. Noah whose family trained him to kill but who’d never managed to follow through before. Noah who can’t decide if he wants his target dead or just completely under his thumb.

Now, Morgan is stranded in the freezing woods, haunted by the father she left behind long ago and hunted by men who believe her independence is a crime. But she’s fighting for more than her own life: she’s pregnant with Noah’s baby. And with her friends already gone, she’s next in line to be eliminated.

Morgan’s far from a helpless victim though. In fact, before she was Morgan, she was swamp-raised survivor Tammy Lou. She’s been hunted before. She’s killed before. And this time, she’s going to make Sanctum Victus pay.

Tropes include: betrayal, isolation, secret society, hidden identity, and stalker romance.

With enemies closing in and lives on the line, a former military cadet has no choice but to embrace her grandmother’s legacy—and become a pirate.

Having turned her back on the STARs Academy, Nimah Dabo-124 now serves as second-in-command of the Stormchaser, under her space-pirate grandmother, Indira Roscoe (aka Captain Ro). After stopping a massacre and toppling a tyrant, Nimah should feel victorious. Instead, she’s adrift, tormented by guilt and hallucinations of her traitorous ex-crewmate, Dobs.

At a gathering of pirates, the council makes a stunning declaration that Ro will be their next queen. But the controversial decision comes with an ultimatum: she and her crew have five days to rescue hundreds of children abducted from a slaughtered commune. Succeed, and Ro will ascend the throne. Fail, and they will all be exiled forever. But when Captain Ro declares she intends to defy the council and refuse the crown, Nimah challenges her grandmother’s leadership and commandeers the Stormchaser for what is surely a one-way mission.

The crew is certain the government is responsible for the abduction. But years of military training fill Nimah with doubt, leading her to seek help from an embittered ex-comrade with access to vital intel. As they plunge deeper into SIGA territory, another merciless wild card enters the mix: Vesper Crole, a bounty hunter with a lethal reputation. She doesn’t take prisoners; she takes heads.

The closer they get to the truth, the deeper Nimah spirals into madness. As secrets and lies pile up at every turn, the greatest threat may not be the enemy nipping at their heels but rather the storm brewing inside her . . .

Tropes include: coming of age, rich versus poor, fascist government, and friends to enemies.

Shae Halston is a seasoned pro at playing pretend, and this time, she’s taking on her most daring role yet: that of her former therapist’s caretaker.

Survival depends on determination, daring, and Dust in this dystopian adventure—with a dash of romance—from the creator of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams.

New Manhattan isn’t for everyone. In fact, it’s pretty much only for those powerful, wealthy, or lethal enough to survive in its rarefied air. Megacorporations and a few elites make the rules. Everyone else just dies by them.

Tony used to be one of the hidden elite. A high-tech enhanced operative working behind the scenes, in the shadows, under the table. That is, until his handlers decided to terminate his contract, strip his hardware, and dump him in the Blast. The end of the line. A place where the airborne Dust mutates your DNA before the locals can do worse.

But Tony wasn’t just his cyberware. He still has his instincts and one hell of a desire to get even with the bastards who tore his life apart. His only real ally? Addie, a sharp, determined indie reporter with her own vendetta against the system. She’s not just chasing a story; she’s chasing justice—and willing to risk everything for it.

Together, Tony and Addie must dive deep into the grime and chaos of the Blast, their uneasy partnership tested by danger, betrayal, and an undeniable spark neither of them is ready to name. With nerve, grit, and growing trust, they’ll bring the fight to the street . . . and make sure this city remembers who they are.

One Player down, a whole Council still to go . . . The real fight is only just beginning in the second installment of this thrilling fantasy adventure.

It’s no secret that Styk longs to be a hero, with blazing daggers in hand and throngs of admirers at his feet. What is a secret is that he has the blood of Players coursing through his veins. Yes, the very enemies he despises and has vowed to slay.

For now, there’s no need for Styk’s loyal team to know this; they all have bigger fish to fry. Because when Corminar’s fellow exiled elves demand he pay his debt, it sends the adventurers on a new quest. Across the Iron Sea, they encounter shifting shadows, ancient witchcraft, and—worst of all—faces from their buried pasts.

And when the members of the Council reveal themselves once more, the greatest threat to Styk may be the demons of his own diabolical ancestry. It’s enough for his aspirations to go catastrophically, game-changingly wrong . . . or prove himself the hero he knows he’s meant to be.

A dungeon named Kelsey and a beautiful baroness on a covert mission join forces in this LitRPG fantasy that’s full of adventurers, assassins, and ammo.

Suliel is returning to the walled city. But while she has the ability to assess others’ primary loyalties, she remains deeply uncertain as to whom she can trust. Indeed, she even doubts her own mother’s intentions. Fortunately, as she surveys her surroundings and navigates court intrigue, she’s guided by a voice in her head: that of Kelsey, a sentient dungeon with an ax to grind.

Unable to stifle her snarky attitude, Kelsey’s avatar offends the black-eyed god Riadi when she expresses her desire to free the mortal races—a mission she expects Suliel to play a significant role in. Meanwhile, Suliel’s husband, Anton, sails the sea without a map . . . but with plenty of direction from Kelsey. As he and his crew dodge flaming arrows, they ready their superior weapons to claim victory over an Elitran ship and free the slaves aboard.

It’s all part of Kelsey’s elaborate—and possibly reckless—plan to bring unprecedented firepower to the ongoing battle between the oppressed and the oppressor. And now, backed by some unexpected allies, a few helpful skeletons, and new, untested weapons mightier than the sword, their quest continues. One thing’s for sure: where Kelsey goes, trouble usually follows . . .

Raleigh

Growing up, the ice was my safe space. I excelled at hockey. However, these days, it’s hockey players who provide sanctuary—one bed at a time. We have an arrangement: I give them a night of pleasure, and in return, they grant me all the temporary, artificial love I can get my hands on. A chance to feel whole. Happily-ever-after doesn’t exist where I come from, but I crave it just the same. And it was a foolproof system. Until Barrett.

One night with him was all it took to tear down walls and crack the facade I worked so hard to build. The connection we had felt real, which made it all the more heartbreaking when it was time to leave. To him, I was simply another puck bunny. I never planned on seeing him again . . . until I discovered our one night together had changed my life forever. But when I reached out, he’d turned callous and cruel. That was the day I swore I’d never allow Barrett back into my life.

Barrett

It’s been more than five years since our one-night stand, and I still can’t get Raleigh out of my head. No woman has ever come close to making me feel the things she did that night. But when I woke up the next morning, I was alone, without any way to contact her. Trust me, I tried. Over the years, searching for her has become an obsession, and I’ve faced endless ridicule from my teammates. But I’ll never give up. She’s out there, and I’m going to find her.

That day finally comes after a spontaneous meet-and-greet with a new Minnesota Lakes sponsor. Suddenly, there she is, more beautiful than ever. But if looks could kill, I’d be six feet deep. Raleigh’s convinced we’re done for good, but now that I’ve found her, I’ll stop at nothing to make her mine. Because this time she has a four-year-old son—and he looks just like me.

Five heroes trapped in a horror movie must find their way out—and avoid dying for good—in the second installment of this imaginative LitRPG series.

Since they were lured to the festival at Carousel, Riley (the Film Buff), Antoine (the Athlete), Camden (the Scholar), Anna (the Final Girl), and Kimberly (the Eye Candy) have lived through entire horror movie plots. So far, Riley’s survival strategy is working. He’s high on his Moxie, Hustle, and Savvy stats. But his Mettle and Grit have dropped dangerously low, leaving him vulnerable. If he gets caught by a killer, he’s done for. Plus, no one seems to understand what use Film Buffs are to begin with. What good is knowing the killer is coming if everyone else does too?

Worse, the stakes are only getting higher. Die in a successful storyline and you’ll be back for the next one. But die in the wrong storyline and you won’t come back at all. Because Riley has learned the secret of Carousel: that behind them every step of the way is a man with an ax, there to ensure any wrong storylines are immediately culled. And now Riley’s beginning to think Carousel itself may be talking to him . . .

In a heretofore calm pocket of a postapocalyptic world, a few survivors find they are not alone as they face a new reality rife with cosmic horrors.

In an isolated village at the edge of a forest, the last of humanity ekes out a spirited existence on an Earth that was ravaged by cataclysm generations ago. Here, Sky Memoriam prepares to assume the role of memory keeper, sole relator of the long-forgotten histories of the Old World. But Sky is in for a shock.

When a ship from somewhere out in space lands in the survivors’ clearing, its wisecracking AI interface, known as Box, quickly announces its intention to integrate Sky into what the visitor insists is the true reality. It seems assimilation is necessary if Sky is going to withstand the eldritch horrors—so soul-rippingly incomprehensible there are no words to describe them—that are coming.

Creature-combat training aside, Sky’s greatest task will be making sense of everything the snarky bot keeps trying to impart about limitless imaginations, the endless infinity of other worlds, and the dangers on this one. Being torn between two realities—the one of the wasteland Sky and the plucky village folk call home and a new one proffered by Box—is enough to drive anyone insane. But as Sky soon discovers—and as weird as it sounds—madness itself may be the key to surviving this wild ride.

An aspiring baker and a pro hockey player seek common ground in this fiery enemies-to-lovers romance from the author of the Sky Ridge Hotshots series.

Micky has big dreams, and she’s doing everything she can to make them a reality. Opening up her bakery-slash-cocktail-lounge, Sugar & Ice, is going to take a lot of cash. Luckily, in between her shifts at the local hockey bar, she’s got a spicy online gig that’s helping to fill up her bank account. There’s just one problem: a cocky neighbor who really gets under her skin.

For Rhys, hockey always comes first. As the rookie on his team, he has one year to prove he’s got what it takes. That means no distractions, no playing around, and absolutely no relationships. Fortunately, he has the most delicious outlet for his physical needs. That is, until he realizes the sexy baker whose video chats leave him salivating is the girl next door.

Now Rhys is determined to steer clear of the “Queen of Tarts,” but when Micky steps in to do him a favor, his defenses come crumbling down. Before they know it, they’re in bed together, discovering just how compatible they truly are. And it’s not just their kinks they have in common, which will make keeping things casual harder than either are prepared for . . .

Strong and Wild is a spicy enemies-to-lovers hockey romance featuring angst, degradation, forced proximity, and of course, a happily ever after. Possible triggers include depictions of drug use, addiction, and slut-shaming.

Anything’s possible with the right tools and the guidance of his Machiavellian mentor, Merkovah. But in order to stop a soul-eater like Starbrite, Truth must first fill the souls of the soon-to-be-dead with the spirit of rebellion—a poisonous feast for a manufacturer of conformity.

Truth’s path to accomplish his mission is riddled with choices. Standing at the crossroads of his life, he must now answer the question, Who does he really want to be? A soul-tracking assassin? A saboteur? A charismatic savior? The very magic that makes him strong also shapes his destiny.

A young champion declares war against a tyrannical empire, bringing him into conflict with the woman he once loved, in this dark fantasy adventure.

After years of battling elite soldiers, slaying soul-crushing monsters, and acquiring powerful combat skills and destructive mana abilities, the realization of Zeke Blackwood’s destiny is imminent. Everything he’s endured since being reborn into a system of troll-infested caves has been to prepare him for ascension into the Ethereal Realm, where he’ll stand against the forces of darkness that threaten all existence.

Despite his near limitless power, Zeke still has obligations to the multicultural kingdom he founded, in which beastkin, kobolds, centaurs, elves, and other races fight for freedom and justice for all creatures.

Odessa Kusa never wanted this life. Fatally injured during a vain attempt to hunt and kill a god, her father saved her with accursed blood—thus dooming her to exile, marked by the gods and carrying a lethal arm of metal and fire.

Col. Joe Bishop made a promise to take the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out, and he intends to keep it. But he doesn’t agree when the UN decides to send almost seventy elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists along with him. Because the mission is a fool’s errand, and he doesn’t expect to return.

At least this time Earth is safe. Right? Not so much . . .

When her picture-perfect existence starts to fall apart, an influencer must decide how far she’s willing to go to get revenge and reclaim her life.

It didn’t take much for Shae Halston to reach influencer status. She manages a “faceless” Instagram account detailing her beautiful life on the California coast with her hotshot real-estate-agent husband, Dean. Her photographs document their fancy meals at the chicest restaurants and feature her neck-down figure wearing the most gorgeous clothes. But while Dean is busy selling million-dollar mansions, Shae becomes fixated on millions of her own—followers, that is.

In order to grow her audience, Shae hires sexy model Jesika to be the face of her Instagram alter ego, Mia Starr. Then the housing market starts to dry up, and everything changes. Now, Dean’s withdrawn and visibly stressed out, and Shae can no longer afford to take “Mia” to the kinds of places she went before or use the types of products that will score her deals with exclusive brands. Determined to wait out what she hopes is just a brief dip in their income, she’s shocked when Dean hands her divorce papers.

Suddenly, the ideal life Shae crafted for herself is shattered. But instead of tears, she embraces a fierce blaze of anger. And when she learns Dean has left her for none other than Jesika, it doesn’t take long for plans of revenge to solidify. Even the wise words of her therapist, Kelly, can’t make her see reason. It’s only a matter of time before she lights up her ex’s life—and her own—in flames.

Transported into a fantastical realm populated by myths and monsters, a mother and daughter learn to use magic—and sow the seeds of revolution.

Humans—or terrans—are not native to Eona. They arrived in a burst of light and sound, capable of wielding powerful magic and leaving chaos in their wake. Separated by the spell that brought them there from Earth, Sloane Reinhart and her young daughter, Gwyneth, have found families among friendly elves and orcs while searching for each other and learning how to master their own innate and uncanny abilities.

Sloane is an Artificer, forging magical items that can awaken mana within those who acquire them. As Baroness Reinhart, she is securing alliances to establish her place in Eona as a noble and magic user without peer. Meanwhile, Princess Gwyn of House Reinhart conjures fire and ice, commanding these elements in their rawest form. And the Reinharts are only two of the thousands of humans across Eona claiming royalty and controlling magic, tipping the balance of power.

The Empire of Vlaredia views this as nothing less than an invasion. Now, it is at war with the Sovereign Cities, attacking the traitorous enemies who dare to house and protect mankind. The Empire’s elite soldiers have been tasked with capturing—or assassinating—every terran they find. But Sloane and Gwyn are deadlier and more dangerous than their enemies realize. And their legions of supporters are only growing . . .
