  • LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUN--featuring gorgeous, starry stenciled edges, beautiful case art under the book jacket, and exclusive bonus scenes--for the first time in print! Only available for a limited time and while supplies last.

    The Serpent & the Wings of Night meets Shadow and Bone in a seductive, star-crossed, dark romantic fantasy loosely inspired by the Greek myths of Astraea.


    "The brightest star needs the darkest night."

    Astraea is a prisoner of her own mind, the past sliding from her grasp like water. But she knows she must escape the tyrannical king who holds her captive and find her clouded memories once again. This quest leads her to the Libertatem, a succession of trials hosted by the king in which five human lands compete for a cycle of safety from the vampires seeking blood, claiming souls, and savaging after dark.

    But even winning the Libertatum will not keep Astraea safe from vampires. She's made a bargain with Nyte, the beautiful, deadly vampire who stalks her dreams and haunts her waking hours. He promises to keep her safe, but she knows she cannot trust him, cannot trust his lies, even as she finds herself drawn deeper and deeper into his seductive embrace.

    Caught between Nyte and her own mysteries, Astraea must decide if winning the Libertatem for her kingdom is worth her life, or if protection--and the answers to her past--really are her strongest desires.

  • From a New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist comes The Social Network for the video game industry, a riveting examination of Blizzard Entertainment's rise and shocking downfall.

    For video game fans, the name Blizzard Entertainment was once synonymous with perfection. The renowned company behind classics like Diablo and World of Warcraft was known to celebrate the joy of gaming over all else. What was once two UCLA students' simple mission -- to make games they wanted to play -- launched an empire with thousands of employees, millions of fans, and billions of dollars.

    But when Blizzard cancelled a buzzy project in 2013, it gave Bobby Kotick, the infamous CEO of corporate parent Activision, the excuse he needed to start cracking down on Blizzard's proud autonomy. Activision began invading Blizzard from the inside. Glitchy products, PR disasters, mass layoffs, and a staggering lawsuit marred the company's reputation and led to its ultimate reckoning.

    Based on firsthand interviews with more than 300 current and former employees, Play Nice chronicles the creativity, frustration, beauty, and betrayal across the epic 33-year saga of Blizzard Entertainment, showing us what it really means to "bleed Blizzard blue." Full of colorful personalities and dramatic twists, this is the story of what happens when the ruthless pursuit of profit meets artistic idealism.

  • In the age of anxiety, self-soothing and nervous system regulation helps us

    Is it a struggle to relax, even while on vacation? Do you feel irritable constantly, like the slightest inconvenience might set you off? Do you have shallow breaths, trouble sleeping, and aches that won't go away? If the answer to any or all of these questions is yes, your nervous system might be dysregulated. Soothe shows how to bring it back into balance--and experience a calmer, more resilient way to be.

    Breaking down the fascinating workings of our nervous system and the brain-to-body connection, where emotions are stored, somatic practicioner Nahid de Belgeonne teaches you how to physically release stress by tapping into your senses, breath, and movement. Along the way, she introduces sustainable micro-practices and daily exercises for self-soothing, including how to:
    - Rewire your brain with micro-movements
    - Alter your emotions by modulating your breath
    - Incorporate mood-enhancing foods into your diet
    - Co-regulate your nervous system with the people around you

    Stress and anxiety are inevitable, but they don't have to throw us off balance. Soothe invites us into greater bodily awareness and peace.

  • Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough.

    In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir.

    A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved.

    Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran toward his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother's wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world.

    To make her mother known.

    This extraordinary book is written in both Lisa Marie's and Riley's voices, a mother and daughter communicating--from this world to the one beyond--as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other--the last words of the only child of an American icon.

  • Melania is a compelling and inspirational memoir that offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who has navigated challenges with grace and determination.

    In her memoir, Melania reflects on her Slovenian childhood, the pivotal moments that led her to the world of high fashion in Europe and New York, and the serendipitous meeting with Donald Trump, a chance encounter that forever changed the course of her life. Melania opens up about their courtship, life in the spotlight, and experiencing the joy of motherhood. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the White House, shedding light on her advocacy work and the causes close to her heart.
    Melania offers an unprecedented look into her time as a First Lady who was born outside the United States -- a role she embraced with honor and dedication. It brings readers into her world and presents an in-depth account of a woman who has led a remarkable life on her own terms.
    Melania Trump's story is one of resilience and independence, showcasing her strength and unwavering commitment to her true self.

"A tale of books, birthdays, and burn-out that follows bookseller (and witch) Belladonna Blackthorn as she spends October facing the ultimate trial to prove herself to her coven..."

October 4, 2024 Clare Brooks

This October’s Monthly Staff Pick is the perfect cozy fantasy romance to settle down with during these early fall evenings. ‘Rewitched’, the debut novel from Lucy Jane Wood, is a tale of books, birthdays, and burn-out that follows bookseller (and witch) Belladonna Blackthorn as she spends October facing the ultimate trial to prove herself to her coven… or risk losing her magic permanently. The delightful tale of female friendship and power, with a little bit of romance thrown into the mix, is just the thing to warm you up from the chill lingering in the air.

‘Rewitched’ is available for 20% off through October, while supplies last. Visit us for this and plenty of other seasonal romances to add to your TBR pile this month!


In this spellbinding warm and cozy debut novel, a burned-out witch will need to turn to her friends and trust in herself to find the magic in her own life again.

Belladonna Blackthorn hasn't lost her magical spark, precisely . . . but she hasn't seen it in a while either.

With her witchcraft under wraps and a toxic boss making her days miserable, Belle is struggling to keep her beloved Lunar Books afloat and just make it through the day. The last thing she has time for is perfecting her magic.

So when her thirtieth birthday brings a summons from her coven and a trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle fears the worst. With only the month of October left to prove herself or risk losing her magic forever, Belle will need all the help she can get--from the women in her life, from an unlikely mentor figure and even from an infuriating coven watchman who's sworn to protect her...

  • A new, twisting thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Teacher and The Housemaid!

    She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim.

    Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She's seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.

    Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.

    Then the brutal murder of a young woman--the latest in a string of deaths across the coast--confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

    Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can't shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn't get to the truth, she'll be the killer's next victim...

    A dark story about obsession and the things we'll do for love, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden proves that crimes of passion are often the bloodiest...

  • Emily Henry's beloved New York Times bestselling novel now in this stunning hardcover collector's edition featuring:

    - A shimmering revamped cover
    - Sunset sky art endpapers and sprayed edges
    - Gold foil stamped case, and...
    - A new introduction from the author and a bonus January and Gus epilogue, "The Layover"

    A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters.

    Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a Happily Ever After, he kills off his entire cast.

    They're polar opposites.

    In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke and bogged down with writer's block.

    Then one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

    "A tender, thoughtful, and very funny book...it's not only convincing but infectious."-- The New York Times Book Review

    "Exquisite and devastating. It won't fail to move you." --Shelley Parker-Chan, #1 bestselling author ofShe Who Became the Sun

    Inspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China,A Song to Drown Riversis an epic novel steeped in myth about womanhood, war, sacrifice, and love against all odds as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in a delicate balance.

    Her beauty hides a deadly purpose.

    Xishi's beauty is seen as a blessing to the villagers of Yue--convinced that the best fate for a girl is to marry well and support her family. When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor, Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu, improve the lives of her people, and avenge her sister's murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy, seduce their immoral king, and weaken them from within.

    Trained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect blade. But she knows Fanli can see through every deception she masters, the attraction between them burning away any falsehoods.

    Once inside the enemy palace, Xishi finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king's advisors while the king himself shows her great affection. Despite his gentleness, a brutality lurks and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher Xishi climbs in the Wu court, the farther she and Fanli have to fall--and if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down.

    "Stunning and heart-rending." --Chloe Gong, #1 bestselling author ofImmortal Longings

  • The first book in the Harry Potter series, now in a special edition paperback with colorful stenciled edges! A must-have for fans and a stunning gift for collectors of all ages.

    Harry Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a cloak of invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny closet at the foot of the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in eleven years.

    But then a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to an incredible place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And there he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

  • The first book in the #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling series takes flight with a gorgeous collector's edition: with beautiful new cover art and exclusive extra materials inside, every Wings of Fire fan will want to add The Dragonet Prophecy: Limited Edition to their shelves!

    Clay has lived his whole life under the mountain. The MudWing dragonet knows that war is raging between the dragon tribes in the world outside -- a war that he and four other dragonets are destined to end, according to the mysterious Prophecy they've been taught. The five "chosen" dragonets were stolen from their homes while they were still in their eggs and hidden away ever since -- all to fulfill the Prophecy.

    But not every dragonet wants a destiny. And when danger threatens one of their own, Clay and his friends must choose freedom over fate . . . leave the mountain . . . and set the dragon world on a course that no one could have predicted.
