Dante’s Inferno meets Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi in this all-new dark academia fantasy from R. F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface, in which two graduate students must put aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul–perhaps at the cost of their own.
Katabasis, noun, Ancient Greek:
The story of a hero’s descent to the underworld
Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world.
That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault.
Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams….
Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion.
With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like.
But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.
Dermot Harding is tien jaar ouder, een vriend van de familie én een medewerker op de ranch van haar vader. Toch is Ada al zolang ze zich kan herinneren smoorverliefd op hem. Op haar achttiende hebben ze voor het eerst gezoend, maar hij vond haar te jong om verder te gaan. Tijdens zijn drie jaar afwezigheid van Gold Rush Ranch die daarop volgen, probeert Ada hem te vergeten. Maar dan komt hij terug – en hij kijkt naar haar zoals hij nooit eerder heeft gedaan. Hij laat zijn handen langer dan zou moeten op haar rusten. Hij biedt aan om haar te helpen het wedstrijdpaard te trainen waarvan ze altijd gedroomd heeft. Ze mag dan wel zeggen – vooral tegen zichzelf – dat ze over hem heen is, maar hun chemie is overweldigend. En al snel vallen alle redenen om bij elkaar uit de buurt te blijven weg. Nog steeds vindt Dermot dat hij te oud is, en te gebroken, voor iemand zoals zij. Hij is ervan overtuigd dat het nooit gaat werken. Maar zijn lichaamstaal zegt iets heel anders… ‘Het prille begin’ is het ‘oorsprongsverhaal’ in de Gold Rush Ranch-serie, die gaat over de volgende generatie van de familie Harding. Het verhaal van Ada en Dermot vormt zo de basis voor de hele serie. Gold Rush Ranch waren de eerste boeken die Elsie Silver ooit schreef en waarmee ze haar stem vond als romance-auteur.

After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time.
The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is.
If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won’t be able to go it alone.
But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.
*The deluxe limited edition comes with gorgeous butterfly designed edges and spot gloss*
From New York Times bestselling authors Krista and Becca Ritchie comes an all-new romance series perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy, Elsie Silver, and Liz Tomforde.
Love burns hottest when it’s blue.
Ben Cobalt is number six. Not sixth place–in fact, he’d be considered at least third draft pick for the NHL if he didn’t quit hockey during college. And he’s not sixth-in-line for any throne. Though, most consider his larger-than-life, billionaire family American royalty.
He is the sixth-born Cobalt.
Out of a normal family of seven, he might get lost in the shuffle. But being the black sheep of the Cobalt Empire comes with its own intense spotlight. After he hits a major low at college in Philly, his four older brothers convince him to move in with them in New York City. Transferring to Manhattan Valley University–piece of cake.
Living in an apartment with all of his brothers while harboring a giant secret among a family who’s more tight-knit than a secret society–total effing chaos.
He has to find a way out of the tense living arrangement, especially as he clashes with his oldest brother Charlie. Ben turns to an unlikely source for help. A grumpy, punk-rock girl with a troubled past who’s already pissed off one Cobalt brother.
So when an undeniable attraction ignites, Harriet Fisher is expecting the flames to die out. Except…what happens when they don’t? Falling for a Cobalt brother with secrets might be a Shakespearean tragedy she can’t rewind.
Burn Bright is the first book in the Cobalt Empire series, a new adult romance series about legacy, loyalty, and love.
Tropes to steal your heart:
Voor je kiezen is het sprankelende debuut van BookTokker Marije van Mechelen, een romantische feelgood vol hilarische momenten en onverwachte ontmoetingen.
Amy heeft haar leven helemaal op de rit: haar studie tandheelkunde loopt op rolletjes, ze woont samen met haar beste vriendinnen en ze heeft een fijne stageplek. Ze heeft zelfs de moed verzameld om eindelijk Mateo aan te spreken, haar knappe Griekse medestudent met zijn onweerstaanbare glimlach.
Dan loopt ze op een feestje Lennon tegen het lijf. Hij is mysterieus, scherpzinnig en heeft een blik die haar niet meer loslaat. Wat begint als een onverwachte ontmoeting, verandert langzaam in een aantrekkingskracht die Amy niet kan negeren.
Maar waarom doet hij zo geheimzinnig? En waarom vraagt hij Amy om hem te helpen iets te verzwijgen? Terwijl de spanning tussen hen oploopt en Amy haar positie op haar stageplek in gevaar ziet komen, moet ze kiezen tussen haar verstand en haar gevoel…
Don’t miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run in the US and Canada only, a must-have for any book lover.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff comes a fierce, emotional romance about surviving the spotlight, outrunning your past, and choosing love when everything says you shouldn’t.
They call her the Black Widow. A pop star. A tabloid tragedy. A girl who set the world on fire–and got burned in return.
But Sloane Walker doesn’t care what they say. Not anymore. The headlines, the hashtags, the rumors that never die? Let them come. She’s survived worse–like the ex who tried to kill her and the fans who blamed her for surviving. These days, she’s armor and eyeliner, singing songs that hurt and pretending they don’t.
She’s halfway through a sold-out tour and dangerously close to unraveling when a meet-and-greet throws her into the path of Mateo Sylvester–a rising star quarterback with a devastating smile and a grandmother who’s Sloane’s biggest fan. He’s got stadiums at his feet and the press eating from his hand. She’s got a flask full of sweet tea, a voice full of ghosts, and no patience for golden boys with good intentions.
She tells herself it’s just a photo op. Just another handshake. Just another charming fan with perfect cheekbones and no idea what it means to bleed for your art.
But Mateo sees more than the stage persona. He sees the cracks in her smile. The songs she’s too scared to write. The girl underneath the glitter, still fighting to stay.
They weren’t supposed to fall. Not in the spotlight. Not when the world is watching. And definitely not when the people closest to them would do anything to keep them apart.
This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a slow-motion car crash. And if they’re not careful, it might just cost them everything.

Gwenna has always considered herself a normal person. A former servant, she wants nothing more than to land a steady job with the Royal Artifactual Guild so she can make some steady coin to send home to her mother. She’s not special.

Well, she’s going to keep on ignoring them. They’re not going to stand in the way of her dreams.
Also standing in her way? One big, arrogant, far-too-flirty Taurian named Raptor. They slept together once, and now he wants more . . . but she doesn’t have time for that.

True love is more divine, than any ruthless god.
Born in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world.

As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

Praag. De gevierde hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis en symboliek Robert Langdon woont een baanbrekende lezing bij van Katherine Solomon, een prominent wetenschapper met wie hij sinds kort een relatie heeft. Katherine staat op het punt een explosief boek te presenteren waarvan de inhoud wereldschokkende ontdekkingen bevat omtrent het menselijk bewustzijn; ontdekkingen die eeuwenlang gevestigde opvattingen en geloofsovertuigingen onderuit zullen halen. Door een brute moord ontaardt het verblijf van de twee wetenschappers in een complete chaos die culmineert in de verdwijning van Katherine én haar manuscript.
Robert Langdon ontdekt dat hij wordt bedreigd door een machtige organisatie en wordt achternagezeten door een ijzingwekkende tegenstander, ontstaan uit een eeuwenoude Praagse legende.
Terwijl het plot zich uitbreidt naar Londen en New York, blijft Langdon wanhopig op zoek naar Katherine… en naar antwoorden. In een zinderende race door de werelden van zowel de futuristische wetenschap als die van de mystiek, eeuwenoude mythen en volksoverleveringen, ontdekt Langdon de schokkende waarheid over een geheim project dat ons denken over het menselijk bewustzijn voorgoed zal veranderen.
Robert Langdon is back in the long-awaited new race-against-time thriller from the global bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture she’s been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdon’s world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves.
But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past.
He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine. Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for the future of humanity itself.
This special paperback features cover effects, interior character art, and digital sprayed edges.

After the death of my father, I vowed that if I ever met a member of the Attano family, I’d kill them. Instead, I married one. Magic, smoke, and steam swirl in the air.
High in their mansions, the ruling cartels play games of blood and secrets, while monsters lurk in the alleyways below. Once I was the most powerful heiress in this city. Then the Attanos killed my father and left my family’s business empire in ruins.
I’ll do whatever it takes to get it back… So when the man who destroyed my world offers to pay our debts-in exchange for my hand in marriage-I have no choice but to accept. Nicolai Attano is everything I was raised to hate.
Arrogant, heartless and devastatingly handsome, he leads a group of criminals with lethal magical abilities. I know I can’t trust him, but Nicolai claims his offer is strictly business-if I help him find the serial killer who stalks the streets on his side of the city, he will release me from our contract. As we plunge into an underworld of magic and forbidden desires, I can’t deny the attraction drawing me to my new husband…
or the thrilling power I feel whenever he’s around. Can I hunt down a killer and escape with my life, before the most dangerous man in the city steals my heart?
Sebastian Rousseau is a grumpy, hot as hell fire pilot who is too damn good with his hands.
It’s the perfect combination. But unfortunately for me, he’s also my ex-boyfriend’s dad. A chance meeting brought us together and a missed connection has kept us apart.
One year later, a stroke of fate has us living under the same roof-which makes everything between us downright messy. Because even after all this time, he’s still the man I think about when I fall asleep. The one I can’t get over no matter how hard I try.
He’s working on mending a fragile relationship with his son and we both know acting on these urges would be the ultimate betrayal. But I see the heat in his eyes. That look of need that never fails to send a shiver down my spine.
The mutual longing is borderline unbearable and the simmering heat between us is downright palpable. We both know there are rules when it comes to situations like this. But then again…following the rules never has been my strong suit.
This special paperback features gorgeous sprayed edges with stenciled artwork.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating sports romance about a playboy hockey rookie and the disciplined softball pitcher completely immune to his charms.
Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He’s made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow “orgasm donor” is his roomie–and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone’s bull…and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.
When he discovers she’s carrying a serious torch for her brother’s best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can’t seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he’s agreed to be Skylar’s fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?
Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they’ve ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.
But it’s all just pretend…right?
A special paperback edition with stunning sprayed edges!
New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns to the high-stakes, sweeping world of dragons, romance, and drama first evoked in her bestselling young adult Firelight series, in a brand-new epic adult romantasy series.
Dragons are extinct. Witches are outcast. Magic is dying.
But human lust for power is immortal.
Dragon fire no longer blisters the skies over Penterra, but inside the lavish palace, life is still perilous…especially for Tamsyn. Raised in the glittering court alongside the princesses, it’s her duty to be punished for their misdeeds. Treated as part of the royal family but also as the lowliest servant, Tamsyn fits nowhere. Her only friend is Stig, Captain of the Guard…though sometimes she thinks he wants more than friendship.
When Fell, the Beast of the Borderlands, descends on her home, Tamsyn’s world becomes even more dangerous. To save the pampered princesses from a fate worse than death, she is commanded to don a veil and marry the brutal warrior. She agrees to the deception even though it means leaving Stig, and the only life she’s ever known, behind.
The wedding night begins with unexpected passion–and ends in near violence when her trickery is exposed. Rather than start a war, Fell accepts Tamsyn as his bride…but can he accept the dark secrets she harbors–secrets buried so deep even she doesn’t know they exist? For Tamsyn is more than a royal whipping girl, more than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone.
Magic is not dead…it is only sleeping. And it will take one ordinary girl with an extraordinary destiny to awaken it.

A sweet and swoony novel of high spice and low stakes from the Coastal Rivals series author, Ki Stephens!
She’s a college cheerleader trading in her Oxford life for one year in Nashville. He’s a star quarterback who doesn’t do distractions. But when they team up for a no-strings-attached fling, they’ll have to break their own rules to keep playing the game.
After moving from England and breaking up with her underwhelming boyfriend, Ella Davies has one thing on her mind: proving herself on Whitland University’s elite cheer squad. She’s determined to let nothing derail her focus–except maybe the annoyingly handsome quarterback who keeps popping up at the most inconvenient times.
At Whitland, Hudson Fox is synonymous with football. Known for his relentless drive and reputation both on and off the field, he’s all about control. This season, he’s sworn off distractions to keep his eyes on the prize. But Ella’s fiery spirit and unexpected presence threaten to unravel his carefully laid plans.
Desperate to keep things simple, they strike a deal: just fun, no strings attached. But when lines start to blur and feelings edge in, they’ll have to admit the only more dangerous than falling off the mat is falling for each other.
