  • From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout comes the thrilling conclusion to her beloved Flesh and Fire series...

    The line between love and obsession has never been wider.

    While Sera is finally free of Kolis and back with those she loves, not everything is calm. Memories of all she's endured still haunt her, but Sera finally has hope for a future with the other half of her heart and soul. Nyktos desires, loves, and accepts every part of her--even the monstrous bits she still battles.

    More than ever, Sera and Ash have everything under the realms to fight for, and Nyktos has no doubt Sera is fit to be the Queen of the Gods. But she must find that faith within herself if they hope to convince the other Courts to support them against Kolis and make Iliseeum and the mortal realm better, safer places for all.

    But as Sera begins to piece together the importance of her bloodline and the true meaning behind the foreboding prophecy, it becomes clear that everything that has happened and is yet to come is much bigger than Kolis and his dark obsessions.

    They cannot help but wonder exactly how much influence the Fates have had and what their ultimate goal is. What Sera does know for sure is that they can trust very few--including her.

    A battle between the gods is brewing, and heartbreaking losses are imminent with the true Primal of Death strengthening. With a family of the heart willing to battle by their side, can Sera and Nyktos stop Kolis before he destroys the realms, or will it all disappear in a fiery inferno of blood and ash?

    And the line between justice and vengeance has never been so thin.

  • From the best-selling author of The Dog Stars, a novel about two men--friends since boyhood--who emerge from the woods of rural Maine to a dystopian country racked by bewildering violence

    Every year, Jess and Storey have made an annual pilgrimage to the most remote corners of the country, where they camp, hunt, and hike, leaving much from their long friendship unspoken. Although the state of Maine has convulsed all summer with secession mania--a mania that has simultaneously spread across other states--Jess and Storey figure it's a fight reserved for legislators or, worst-case scenario, folks in the capital.

    But after weeks hunting off the grid, the men reach a small town and are shocked by what they find: a bridge blown apart, buildings burned to the ground, and bombed-out cars abandoned on the road. Trying to make sense of the sudden destruction all around them, they set their sights on finding their way home, dragging a wagon across bumpy dirt roads, scavenging from boats left in lakes, and dodging armed men--secessionists or U.S. military, they cannot tell--as they seek a path to safety. Then, a startling discovery drastically alters their path and the stakes of their escape.

    Drenched in the beauty of the natural world and attuned to the specific cadences of male friendship, even here at the edge of doom, Burn is both a blistering warning about a divided country's political strife and an ode to the salvation found in our chosen families.

  • A powerful memoir that reckons with mental health as well as the insidious ways men impact the lives of women.

    In early 2021, popular artist Anna Marie Tendler checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression and self-harm. Over two weeks, she underwent myriad psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, "There is a you inside that feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside."

    In Men Have Called Her Crazy, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed. As the title suggests, many of these moments are impacted by men: unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations and absurdities of dating in her mid-thirties; and her decision to freeze her eggs as all her friends were starting families.

    This stunning literary self-portrait examines the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century. Yet overwhelming and despairing as that can feel, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. Early in her stay in the hospital, she says, "My wish for myself is that one day I'll reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself." By the end of the book, she fulfills that wish.

  • "Utterly addictive and smolderingly sexy!" --DANIELLE L. JENSEN, New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood

    First in the tantalizing, lush, and epic Kingdom of Crows romantasy series from USA Today bestselling author and BookTok favorite Olivia Wildenstein, now in a deluxe edition including:

    • sprayed edges

    • bonus art

    • a brand-new chapter

    

    Free the crows, Fallon, and they will make you queen.

    Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well . . . by all but one.

    Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go.

    If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

    And that I'd become this demon's obsession.

    "Unputdownable! House of Beating Wings is a fantastical delight of a book, rich with its imagination and lush with its storytelling." --RuNyx, New York Times bestselling author of Gothikana

  • #1 New York Times bestseller!

    A new mystery is afoot in the fourth book in the Thursday Murder Club series from million-copy bestselling author Richard Osman

    "The best Murder Club book yet. . . A poignant complement to both the fair-play mystery plot and the characters' lively humor."
    --The New York Times Book Review

    We Solve Murders, a new series from Richard Osman, coming September 17

    It's rarely a quiet day for the Thursday Murder Club.

    Shocking news reaches them--an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing.

    The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves. As they encounter drug dealers, art forgers, and online fraudsters--as well as heartache close to home--Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim have no idea whom to trust.

    With the body count rising, the clock ticking down, and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out?

    And who will be the last devil to die?
