  • GLOBAL PHENOMENON NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK

    INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    THE NEW ROBERT LANGDON THRILLER FROM THE ICONIC AUTHOR OF THE DA VINCI CODE

    The world's most celebrated thriller writer and author of The Da Vinci Code returns with his most stunning novel yet--a propulsive, twisty, thought-provoking masterpiece that will entertain readers as only Dan Brown can do.

    Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, has traveled to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon--a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a romantic relationship. Katherine is on the verge of publishing a breakthrough book that contains explosive scientific discoveries about the nature of human consciousness . . . revelations that threaten to disrupt centuries of established belief.

    When a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, Katherine suddenly goes missing--and her manuscript disappears. Desperate to find the woman he loves, Langdon embarks on a thrilling race through the mystical landscape of Prague, ruthlessly hunted by a powerful organization and a chilling assailant sprung from the city's ancient mythology.

    As the action expands to London and New York, Langdon plunges into the dual worlds of futuristic science and historical lore--navigating a labyrinth of codes and symbols . . . and finally uncovering a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.

    LONGLISTED FOR THE MARK TWAIN AMERICAN VOICE IN LITERATURE AWARD - A LIBBY BOOK AWARD NOMINEE - ONE OF BOOKPAGE'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

    A spellbinding story of two young people whose fates intersect and diverge across continents and years--an epic of love and family, India and America, tradition and modernity, by the Booker Prize-winning author of The Inheritance of Loss

    "A transcendent triumph . . . not so much a novel as a marvel."--The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)

    "A magnificent saga."--Washington Post

    "Lavish, funny, smart, and wise, this is a novel that will last."--The Boston Globe

    "A spectacular literary achievement. I wanted to pack a little suitcase and stay inside this book forever."--Ann Patchett

    "A novel so wonderful, when I got to the last page, I turned to the first and began again."--Sandra Cisneros

    "Devastating, lyrical, and deeply romantic . . . an unmitigated joy to read."--Khaled Hosseini

    "A masterpiece."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

    "A sweeping page-turner, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is a kind of Romeo and Juliet story for a modern, globalized age."--Publishers Weekly (Top 10 New Fall Books)

    When Sonia and Sunny first glimpse each other on an overnight train, they are immediately captivated yet also embarrassed by the fact that their grandparents had once tried to matchmake them, a clumsy meddling that served only to drive Sonia and Sunny apart.

    Sonia, an aspiring novelist who recently completed her studies in the snowy mountains of Vermont, has returned to her family in India. She fears that she is haunted by a dark spell cast by an artist to whom she had once turned for intimacy and inspiration. Sunny, a struggling journalist resettled in New York City, is attempting to flee his imperious mother and the violence of his warring clan. Uncertain of their future, Sonia and Sunny embark on a search for happiness together as they confront the many alienations of our modern world.

    The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is the sweeping tale of two young people navigating the many forces that shape their lives: country, class, race, history, and the complicated bonds that link one generation to the next. A love story, a family saga, and a rich novel of ideas, it is the most ambitious and accomplished work yet by one of our greatest novelists.

  • Eighteen puzzling Christmas tales set in New York City's beloved mystery bookstore

    In 1993, The Mysterious Bookshop--the oldest mystery specialty bookstore in the world--began an annual tradition by inviting bestselling author Donald E. Westlake to write an original short story set in the bookshop during the holiday season. Each year since then, The Mysterious Bookshop commissions a new short story from a leading author to give out as a holiday gift for its customers.

    The prompt for the story requires three elements: that it be set at Christmastime, that it involve a crime of some kind, or the suspicion of one, and that it be set at least partially in the bookstore. Beyond these guidelines, authors had free rein to take the story in whatever direction they chose. This volume collects the first eighteen stories commissioned by the bookshop from 1993 to 2010.

    Included are tales by Megan Abbott, Rupert Holmes, Mary Higgins Clark, Andrew Klavan, and Ed McBain, plus an updated introduction by Mysterious Bookshop proprietor Otto Penzler. Some of the stories are humorous, others thrilling, and still others are tales of pure detection. But all are guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit.

  • A sweeping historical adventure inspired by the life of Grace O'Malley, the legendary Irish folk heroine who risked everything to defend her people. Venture onto the high seas with the thrilling latest from the New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River and I Was Anastasia.

    Grace O'Malley was born to be a sea captain. But despite her natural skill on the water, Grace learns early that her dreams of a life at the helm are not compatible with the expectations of her noble family. As the only daughter of a powerful chieftain, her role is to secure a strong alliance and bear children. But when she's sent to foster with a nearby clan, Grace falls for a clever and open-minded second son--a man she cannot have.

    Married off against her will to a brutal warrior, Grace performs her duty, all the while gathering followers loyal to her, and consolidating her husband's power, only to be ousted from his lands. But this betrayal offers Grace the opportunity to return to sea, finally leading clan O'Malley's mighty fleet. Just as she finds true independence, Queen Elizabeth's incursions into Ireland grow bolder and Grace must fight to defend her land, her ships, and the people she loves most against the cruel and power-hungry English deputies, who will stop at nothing to check her influence.

    Keenly observed and fiercely written, Ariel Lawhon's new action-packed novel channels the untamed beauty and harsh realities of sixteenth-century Ireland, as seen through the eyes of an unforgettable heroine who rightly became "the Pirate Queen of Ireland."

  • This limited deluxe hardcover features gorgeous stenciled edges - available on the first printing only!

    From R.F. Kuang, the acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author of Katabasis and Yellowface, comes a wryly humorous and profoundly moving coming-of-age novel that grapples with grief, language, and culture shock--all set against the backdrop of an unforgettable summer in Taipei.

    College freshman Lily Chen is off to spend the summer in Taipei at an intensive language program like so many Chinese American students before her, hoping to connect with the culture she inherited but never fully understood. But a promising start quickly unravels. Her classes are grueling, her roommate is driving her insane, and a reckless trip to the hot springs with a guy she barely knows soon has her classmates viciously gossiping. She feels adrift, a foreigner in a country she thought would feel like home.

    Then shocking news arrives: Lily's grandfather has passed away. The loss forces her to grapple with now-unanswerable questions about her family history. As Lily grieves, she's drawn into a journey of self-discovery--piecing together memories, stories, and silences over a series of hilarious and devastating attempts at connection.

    Taipei Story asks: What if the diaspora fantasy of homecoming never comes true? What if learning a language can't bring you any closer to the people you're trying to reach? What if you search for your family's history, but your family doesn't want to share? What if you wait too long to ask the right questions? As Lily struggles for answers, her summer becomes a poignant search for understanding--of herself, her family, and the meaning of home.

    A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (NPR, TIME, USA Today, The Economist, Scientific American, Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, BuzzFeed, BookRiot, HuffPost, Jezebel, The Globe and Mail, Kirkus , and more!)

    "A breathtaking novel of ROMANCE, MYSTERY, AND TWISTS that will shock you...I love this book so much." --Reese Witherspoon

    "A WILDLY TALENTED writer." ―Emily St. John Mandel

    "Absolutely ASTONISHING. McConaghy's writing knocks me over every time." --Fredrik Backman

    "SPELLBINDING...Exceptionally imagined, thoroughly humane." --Washington Post

    "My absolute FAVORITE book of 2025." --Carley Fortune

    A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon.

    Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world's largest seed bank, Shearwater was once full of researchers, but with sea levels rising, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until, during the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore.

    Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts, but as they nurse the woman, Rowan, back to strength, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan, long accustomed to protecting herself, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again.

    But Rowan isn't telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets. As the storms on Shearwater gather force, they all must decide if they can trust each other enough to protect the precious seeds in their care before it's too late--and if they can finally put the tragedies of the past behind them to create something new, together.

    A novel of breathtaking twists, dizzying beauty, and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us disappears.

  • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD - How does the greatest writer of our time tell her own story?

    NAMED A NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE WASHINGTON POST

    "The most spectacular, hilarious, and generous autobiography of the last quarter century-or ever."--The Boston Globe

    Raised by scientifically minded parents, Margaret Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec: a vast playground for her entomologist father and independent, resourceful mother. It was an unfettered and nomadic childhood, sometimes isolated but also thrilling and beautiful.

    From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking key moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel school year that would become Cat's Eye to the unease of 1980s Berlin, where she began The Handmaid's Tale. In pages alive with the natural world, reading and books, major political turning points, and her lifelong love for the charismatic writer Graeme Gibson, we meet poets, bears, Hollywood stars, and larger-than-life characters straight from the pages of an Atwood novel.

    As she explores her past, Atwood reveals more and more about her writing, the connections between real life and art--and the workings of one of our very greatest imaginations.

  • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY - "A glorious sweep of a novel" (Ann Patchett) that weaves the intimate lives of two midwestern families across generations, from World War II to the late twentieth century.

    "Mesmerizing."--People

    "Captivating."--The New York Times Book Review

    "A once-in-a-decade novel . . . I fell in love with these characters."--Jenna Bush Hager

    ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, NPR, People, Minnesota Star Tribune, New York Post, Chicago Public Library

    FINALIST FOR THE OHIO BOOK AWARD - LONGLISTED FOR THE JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE AND THE MARK TWAIN AMERICAN VOICE IN LITERATURE AWARD

    That, as he saw it now, was his life's work: trying to make right what he'd gotten wrong. Wasn't that a fair measure of a person, what they did with their mistakes?

    In the jubilant aftermath of the Allied victory in Europe, Cal Jenkins, a man wounded not in war but by his inability to serve in it, shares a single, life-altering moment with Margaret Salt, a woman determined to outrun her past. Cal is married to Becky, whose spiritual gifts help the living speak to the dead, while Margaret's husband, Felix, is serving at sea, believed to be safe--until a telegram suggests otherwise.

    What begins as a fleeting transgression becomes a complex secret that irrevocably binds all four of them in unexpected ways. As their small Ohio town remakes itself in the postwar boom, the Salt and Jenkins families remain in each other's orbit, and the consequences of choices made long ago begin to emerge, reshaping their lives in ways that will forever impact the next generation.

    Sweeping yet intimate, resplendent with moments of deep emotion and unforgettable characters, Buckeye is a transportive story of love, loyalty, sacrifice, and forgiveness.

  • Game warden Joe Pickett fights for his life as his daughters try to uncover who shot him and left him for dead in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.

    Marybeth Pickett gets the call she has always dreaded: her husband Joe is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

    Joe was found in his pickup at Antler Creek Junction, a crossroads connecting three ranches. Each road leading to a dangerous family. Each family with a different bone to pick with the local game warden. Marybeth and the new sheriff assume that Joe was ambushed by one of the families, but they have no idea which one since Joe didn't say where he was going or why.

    With Joe unconscious and fighting for his life with Marybeth at his side, Sheridan, April, and Lucy split up and investigate each of families to uncover the truth of what happened to their father, before it's too late.

  • From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz comes a gripping, timely, 96-page bonus story about one girl's treacherous immigration journey that can be read alongside the novel Two Degrees, or on its own.

    Daniela López is on a life-or-death journey.

    Forced to flee their beloved home in Honduras, Dani and her family were headed north in search of safety--until a treacherous mistake ripped Dani's parents away. Now, Dani and her younger brother Carlos are on their own, and they have no choice but to keep going, in the desperate hope of finding their parents at the Mexico-United States border.

    But to get there, they will have to ride on top of a roaring freight train known as "The Beast."

    Rickety and deadly, The Beast makes hairpin turns at terrifying speeds and shoots through dark tunnels. And there is the constant danger of being caught by gangs and kidnappers along the way.

    Surrounded by hundreds of fellow refugees, Daniela will have to figure out who she can and cannot trust--and fast. Otherwise, she and Carlos might not stand a chance of surviving...

    From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz (Refugee; Two Degrees) this timely original story, sensitively told, gives today's readers an accessible and gripping look at the immigrant experience and the courage it takes to start over.

  • The Old Farmer's Almanac makes every day "useful, with a pleasant degree of humor" as it has since 1792, and, with the 2027 edition, it continues this tradition. Trusted by generations from all walks of life for its accuracy and honesty, the Almanac delivers fun facts, predictions, illustrated articles, and advice across many interest areas to readers who live--and aspire to live--close to the earth, with the intent of helping them to make informed decisions based on time-honored wisdom. As a calendar of the heavens, it provides detailed daily astronomical data (Sun/Moon rise/set times, length of day), tide times, and planet/star sightings for every sky watcher across North America, from novice to expert. As a calendar of the year, it presents annual and seasonal events, holidays, anniversaries, and timely trivia, as well as astrological Best Days and cycles. As a time capsule of the year, it contains cultural trends; weather forecasts and seasonal trends; useful articles on topics such as gardening, home arts and remedies, amusements and contests, history, husbandry, nature, cooking and recipes, folklore, pets, and sports; and much more for the curious and the clever.

    Long recognized as North America's most beloved and best-selling annual, this versatile little yellow book is often imitated yet never equaled. It's an icon that instills in readers a feeling of connection to the history and landscape of North America and its people.

    This edition of the 2027 Almanac features a semi-rigid cover (no hole), which helps to protect the book's pages--a plus for those who collect the Almanac each year! It also features whiter paper and larger type than what is found in the paperback classic edition, making it even easier to read.

  • The must-have book for curious minds is back and brimming with the most recent record-breaking feats across eight action-packed chapters.

    Perfect for the whole family with chapters including the natural world, humans, science and sports

    This edition goes green! From the dazzling neon-green cover, to a spotlight on GWR's biggest green stars including frogs, emeralds, Yoda, the Incredible Hulk and Wicked's Elphaba

    The newly selected GWR ICONS are unveiled -record holders who embody the spirit of record breaking who are rewriting the rulebook in their respective fields

  • The 20th mystery in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Armand Gamache series.

    Somewhere out there, in the darkness, a black wolf is feeding.

    Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf.

    But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Armand is appalled to think his mistake has allowed their conspiracy to grow, to gather supporters. To spread lies, manufacture enemies, and feed hatred and division.

    Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there. He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning...

    In a dry and parched land where there is no water.

    Gamache and his small team of supporters realize that for the Black Wolf to have gotten this far, they must have powerful allies, in law enforcement, in industry, in organized crime, in the halls of government.

    From the apparent peace of his little village, Gamache finds himself playing a lethal game of cat and mouse with an invisible foe who is gathering forces and preparing to strike.

  • E. M. Carroll meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a dash of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in this debut young adult graphic novel that is a celebration of horror, queerness, and figuring out who you want to be.

    Features bright neon purple sprayed edges that complement Dom&Ink's stunning cover art!

    There is a crypt that sits in the darkness... A crypt that exists across multiple realms, that houses your worst fears... And it's coming to Widow's Creek...

    When seventeen-year-old Barnaby Jones comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they expect that to be the toughest part of their day. But it turns out the toughest part might actually be when their best friend, Fi, is kidnapped by a faceless killer who's been abducting teens all across the small town of Widow's Creek. Or is it when Barnaby unwittingly summons the undead and fabulous Queens of the Crypt through a portal in their bedroom closet?

    Either way, the Queens--the Phantom, the Countess, Lady Invisible, the Creature, and the Bogeywoman--are here to help. As the horrors creep closer, can Barnaby work together with the scream queens to save Widow's Creek from destruction and unmask the Faceless Frightener?

  • FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES, THE RUNAWAY PHENOMENON THAT INSPIRED THE MEGAHIT HBO SERIES

    In this highly anticipated sequel, Liane Moriarty examines the complexities of modern women's lives, shining light on family dynamics and long-hidden truths with wit and compassion. Whether you've read Big Little Lies or not, this is the perfect novel for longtime fans and new readers alike.

    "Equal parts juicy, gripping, and impossible to put down . . . I loved diving back into the lives of these unforgettable characters."­--Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

    The last time we saw the women of Big Little Lies--Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie--their children were five years old. If someone wasn't invited to a birthday party, feelings were hurt. But ten years have passed and the kids are in high school, navigating all of the drama that accompanies teendom (goodbye playdates, hello drugs, sex, and alcohol).

    When the high school principal receives a threatening package in the mail, word quickly spreads throughout the community and parents are in an uproar. But Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie have other things to worry about. Celeste's mother-in-law, Mary Louise, is behaving oddly--is it old-age forgetfulness and bluntness or something more sinister? Madeline is facing perhaps the biggest challenge of her life, Jane is at a dangerous fork in her marriage, Bonnie has realized there's only so much solace in yoga. And Renata? Renata is living her best life--revenge is sweet.

    When a stranger begins lurking around the school asking supposedly innocent questions, this tightly connected group of women must finally face the full repercussions of the big little truths they have and haven't shared with their kids. Because the stakes are now much higher than not being invited to an ice-skating party--and the ice has never been thinner for any of them.

  • A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK - INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

    "Wreck is a delight. What an absolute joy to be reunited with Rocky and her family, the characters we all fell in love with in Sandwich. Newman's prose is laugh-out-loud funny. It's also profound. I couldn't stop reading, even though I didn't want it to end."--J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs

    "Wreck is the kind of book that pulls up a chair, pours the wine, and dives deep--equal parts hilarious, sharp, and achingly sincere. I didn't just read it--I felt known by it. A luminous, laugh-out-loud triumph."--Alison Espach, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding People

    The acclaimed bestselling author of Sandwich is back with a wonderful novel, full of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesn't go as planned.

    If you loved Rocky and her family on vacation on Cape Cod, wait until you join them at home two years later. (And if this is your first meeting with this crew, get ready to laugh and cry--and relate.)

    Rocky, still anxious, nostalgic, and funny, is living in Western Massachusetts with her husband Nick and their daughter Willa, who's back home after college. Their son, Jamie, has taken a new job in New York, and Mort, Rocky's widowed father, has moved in.

    It all couldn't be more ridiculously normal . . . until Rocky finds herself obsessed with a local accident that only tangentially affects them--and with a medical condition that, she hopes, won't affect them at all.

    With her signature wit and wisdom, Catherine Newman explores the hidden rules of family, the heavy weight of uncertainty, and the gnarly fact that people--no matter how much you love them--are not always exactly who you want them to be.

  • A brand-new Penelope Rex book from Ryan T. Higgins, the #1 New York Times best-selling author-illustrator ofWe Don't Eat Our Classmates and Mother Bruce!

    Just when she has gotten used to being the only dinosaur in a class full of children, Penelope Rex is surprised to learn that the new kid is...a dinosaur just like her! Will the playground be big enough for the two of them?

    Penelope Rex is the only dinosaur in her school and she likes it that way. But when a new kid joins her class, Penelope doesn't know how to feel about it--because this new kid is another dinosaur! As she tries to welcome Patty Topps, Penelope is faced with some dino-size questions about standing out, fitting in, and what really makes her feel special.

    Readers will root for Penelope as she navigates what it means to be one of a kind (even if she's no longer the only kid in her class who is seven feet tall and covered in scales).

  • NOW STREAMING ON NETFLIX

    "McAllister is the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations." -- Emily Henry

    From the author of Reese's Book Club Pick and New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes an electrifying thriller about three siblings torn apart by the cover-up of a death while on a family vacation in Italy.

    On vacation in Europe, Frannie makes two urgent phone calls. One to her sister, and one to her brother. The siblings come running, and they find their sister covered in blood, kneeling over an unmoving body.

    There's been an accident: Frannie has hit a man with her car, and she needs their help. They bury the body, and they make a promise. They'll never tell anyone.

    But when the police come calling, the siblings' lies start to spiral. They begin to doubt their trust in each other. Because what really happened that night?

    And who will be the first to crack?

    With the incredible twists and turns and a unique look at family relationships that McAllister has become known for, That Night is the ultimate summer thriller that asks: what would you do to protect your family?

  • Instant New York Times Bestseller!

    Return of the Spider is the stunning companion novel to Along Came a Spider , the New York Times bestselling classic thriller from the world's #1 bestselling author, James Patterson .

    Enter the thrilling world of the #1 bestselling detective series that inspired the Prime Video show, Cross .

    Along Came a Spider introduced Detective Alex Cross to readers around the globe and delivered an unsurpassed rivalry: Cross--named the "human superhero" by The New York Times--versus Gary Soneji, who the Lexington-Herald Leader called the "most deliciously wicked character since Hannibal Lecter". But that wasn't their first meeting ...

    Police discover that Soneji kept a murder book, Profiles in Homicidal Genius, detailing his transformation from substitute teacher to hardened serial killer--including clues that imply missteps that Alex Cross may have made as a rookie homicide detective.

    Now, Alex must retrace the steps of that long-ago investigation and face ... the Return of the Spider.

    "Alex Cross is a legend. He has thrilled us and kept us on the edge of our seats for twenty years now." --Harlan Coben, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Gone Before Goodbye

    1532. Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

    A young girl grows up wild and wily--her beauty is only outmatched by her dreams of escape. But María knows she can only ever be a prize, or a pawn, in the games played by men. When an alluring stranger offers an alternate path, María makes a desperate choice. She vows to have no regrets.

    This is a story about love.

    1827. London.

    A young woman lives an idyllic but cloistered life on her family's estate, until a moment of forbidden intimacy sees her shipped off to London. Charlotte's tender heart and seemingly impossible wishes are swept away by an invitation from a beautiful widow--but the price of freedom is higher than she could have imagined.

    This is a story about rage.

    2019. Boston.

    College was supposed to be her chance to be someone new. That's why Alice moved halfway across the world, leaving her old life behind. But after an out-of-character one-night stand leaves her questioning her past, her present, and her future, Alice throws herself into the hunt for answers . . . and revenge.

    This is a story about life--how it ends, and how it starts.

    "Schwab has impressively woven a compelling character drama and feminist critique into a horror thriller...sumptuous descriptions of place and time, and the slow-burn melodrama between each of the women... a tale told sharply but sweetly enough it goes down as easy as that happy-hour cocktail that, surprisingly, knocks you flat." -- The New York Times

    "Schwab sends you whirling through a dizzying kaleidoscopic adventure through centuries filled with love, loss, art and war--all the while dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way." --Naomi Novik

  • "Pirateaba is an amazing world builder, and as a writer, I am in awe of their story constructing skills....The Wandering Inn is a favorite... You won't find anything else like it." - Matt Dinniman, New York Times Bestselling Author of Dungeon Crawler Carl

    Enter the Innverse: the massive epic fantasy world created by pirateaba that has become a LitRPG sensation, now for the first time in a physical edition!

    "No killing Goblins."

    So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours.

    It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

    In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn. She's an [Innkeeper].

    Thus starts the first volume of The Wandering Inn, an epic fantasy series filled with heart and fear, magic, dragons, and monsters, adventurers and chess players...and humans pulled from the real world into a wondrous and deadly land where the game is to survive and these new pieces could decide who's the winner.
