Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream?— Edgar Allan PoeAt 14, Julia Z became infamous as the “orphan hacker,” a teenage prodigy who broke the law and captivated a nation. Now, years later, she’s trying to leave that life behind, hiding in the quiet suburbs of Boston. But her fragile anonymity is shattered when a desperate lawyer bursts into her life, begging for her help to find his wife—a celebrated artist who uses AI to craft shared dreams for thousands of followers and who has been kidnapped by a criminal syndicate.
Against her better judgment, Julia embarks on a harrowing journey across the country, drawn ever-deeper into the shadows of the American dream. As she tracks the criminals, she confronts not only their perilous schemes but also the ghosts of her own past. Resourceful, relentless, and deeply contemptuous of authority, Julia must dig deep into her unique skillset and fractured psyche to uncover the truth — and to hold onto hope when everything around her descends into darkness.

Het baanbrekende vampierenverhaal van New York Times-bestsellerauteur George R.R. Martin, bekend van Game of Thrones.
Winter 1857. Abner Marsh heeft grote moeite werk te vinden als kapitein van een rivierstomer op de Mississippi. Als een rijke aristocraat hem onverwacht een lucratief aanbod doet, is Abner meteen op zijn hoede. De reden? De spookachtig bleke Joshua York met zijn kille blik gaat er volledig aan voorbij dat Abners vloot op één boot na compleet is vergaan tijdens een ongewoon strenge winter. Het laat hem bovendien onverschillig dat hij zijn investering de komende tien jaar niet zal terugverdienen. Wat wel zijn redenen zijn om de gevaarlijke Mississippi op te gaan, vertelt hij niet – en de enige voorwaarde die hij stelt, is dat Marsh zijn afwijkende gedrag zonder vragen te stellen accepteert, hoe bizar, willekeurig of bevreemdend dat gedrag ook mag zijn. Abner gaat aarzelend akkoord, misschien tegen beter weten in.
Pas tijdens de eerste reis met de Fevre Dream dringt het langzaam maar zeker tot hem door dat hij een overeenkomst is aangegaan waarvan de afloop heel onzeker is.

After seven long years, Joan Greenwood has been called home. As the only one in her elite family of witches who cannot manipulate magic, her return to New York City is lukewarm at best. But it’s upended by the disastrous news that someone has created a spell that can turn an unmagical human into a powerful witch.
While her family covets the ability to create a new generation of witches, Joan is wary of such power in the hands of her conniving relatives. When her best friend – who happens to be a vampire – confesses he has secretly, accidentally, saved this human-turned-witch from an uncertain fate, Joan is thrust headfirst into a desperate race to undo the spell before it kills its unwilling host. But as the different factions of the magic world hunt Joan across the city, she gathers a new family of allies to help her.
Soon, her race to the truth draws her deeper into the heart of the city’s magic, through uncertain alliances with a (very attractive) family rival, and far beyond the limits of everything she thought her own magic was capable of. Only now does Joan see… her power could rewrite the rules of the magic world-or bring the entire city to its knees.

And now death holds us in its clutches.
We were torn from life before our time, a Savage King, his queen, a betrayed son, a wronged brother, a scorned wife and so many more. We watch those we left behind as they struggle against the grip of the stars, the answers to so many of their questions within our grasp and yet out of their reach.

Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful—to the Guild of Mages that took her in as a novice, to the little brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help. Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn’t proven much use to anyone. When Certainty has the chance to earn her magehood via a seemingly straightforward assignment, she takes it. Nevermind that she’ll have to work with Mage Aurelia, the brilliant, unfairly attractive overachiever who’s managed to alienate everyone around her.
The two must transport minorly magical artifacts somewhere safe: Shpelling, the dullest, least magical village around. There, they must fix up an old warehouse, separate the gossipy teapots from the kind-of-flaming swords, corral an unruly little catdragon who has tagged along, and above all: avoid complications. The Guild’s uneasy relationship with citizens is at a tipping point, and the last thing needed is a magical incident.
Still, as mage and novice come to know Shpelling’s residents—and each other—they realize the Guild’s hoarded magic might do more good being shared. Friendships blossom while Certainty and Aurelia work to make Shpelling the haven it could be. But magic is fickle—add attraction and it might spell trouble.

One fake dating plan.
One cowboy Casanova.
One very real case of falling way too hard.
Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup–a cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokin’ hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice.
He’s exactly what she’s looking for. If only he wasn’t also her best friend…
Sally Powell is back in her hometown of Harstville, Texas, waiting for her dream job to start thousands of miles away. While she’s here, she hopes to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer.
Wyatt has been her best friend since second grade, and she’s been in love with him for almost as long. But he’s as wild and untamed as a colt that can’t be broken–not to mention, totally out of her league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation.
Then Sally gets to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn’t he teach her the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real…well, everything else.
And let her just say, the rumors are absolutely true.
Sally wants so badly to be Wyatt’s last rodeo. But she’s leaving town soon, and even if she wasn’t, she’s not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways.
Cowboys can’t be tamed. And apparently, neither can hearts.

Not only is there actual snow on the ground, but the town of Blue Moon appears to have decked its halls with elves on psychedelics. But he doesn’t have time to be snarky about the impending Winter Solstice and Multicultural Holiday Celebration—whatever the hell that is. Not when he’s got a farm to save, a free-range sheep that he may or may not have nudged with his stupid microscopic rental car, and some small-town veterinarian telling him she can’t take the animal off his hands.
Dr. Sammy Ames has a practice to manage and a fundraising crisis to attend to. She doesn’t have time to deal with a big-city grouch who doesn’t remember being her first kiss ever. Especially not since he wants to dump a sheep named Stan on her. So not happening. No matter how cute—and naked—Ryan is when he’s drunk.
Besides, as soon as he solves his uncle’s problem, he’ll be on the first flight out of Blue Moon, never to return again.
It will take a Winter Solstice Miracle or perhaps some matchmaking interference from the Beautification Committee to get these two to see eye-to-eye under the mistletoe…unless they got the Wrong Ryan after all.

From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part-even if it breaks his heart.
Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters–but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.
Centuries later, Owen Mallory–failed soldier, struggling scholar–falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives–and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.
But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend–if they want to tell a different story–they’ll have to rewrite history itself.
“Alix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talent.” –Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

Girls are going missing from the island, and Adaira, his childhood nemesis and the future leader of the clan, believes Jack is the only one who can find them.
The elemental spirits that dwell in every breath of air, splash of water, blade of grass, and flicker of fire find mirth in the lives of the humans, and a bard’s music is the only way to summon them and ask that the girls be returned. Yet as Jack and Adaira get closer to solving the mystery, it becomes apparent that an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, and no harp song may be strong enough to stop it.
With unforgettable characters, a thrilling plot, and a lush folklore-infused world, A River Enchanted is a stirring story of duty, love, and creating harmony between opposing forces. This first book in the Elements of Cadence duology marks Rebecca Ross’s brilliant entry on the adult fantasy stage.
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, a must-have for any book lover. A war-scarred mage.
A sentient ship. A secret that could drown empires. When Ensign Bluemage Honor Renn is rescued from the wreckage of her first naval post, she expects death or disgrace.
Instead, she wakes aboard the Touchstone, a mythic vessel whispered of in dockside ballads and royal war rooms alike. With a crew of misfits. A mysterious, elven captain.
And a mission tied to the Dreadwall, the crumbling barrier that has kept the Overland and Nethersea from open war for a hundred years. But the tragedy that sank her last ship didn’t just take lives?it left something behind. Now Renn carries a secret everyone wants.
A magik that’s chimeric, arcane…and slowly killing her. But the captain’s mission may be her only chance to survive, even if he still doesn’t trust her. Caught between privateers, princes, and spies, Renn knows each choice could sink her future?or set the sea on fire.
Ship of Spells is perfect for readers who crave the raw grit of Arya Stark, the world-building of Samantha Shannon, and the slow-burn tension of enemies who should never trust or want each other.
Boven Grommal, de dwergenhoofdstad, laat de stormdraak Vyrillia zich razend en dreigend zien. In haar schreeuw klinkt één naam: Tarraxyn. Niemand kent die naam, maar de echo ervan zaait achterdocht in de zalen en mijnen van het IJzerrijk. Aan de grenzen nemen de schermutselingen met de elfen toe, terwijl angst en verdeeldheid onder de dwergen groeien. Thalon Saffierhamer, raadgever van de koning, krijgt de opdracht om Vyrillia te stoppen. In oude geschriften stuit hij op een vergeten profetie en een hint naar het Stormhartkristal, een artefact dat zelfs de razernij van een draak kan verstillen. Samen met een onwaarschijnlijk gezelschap van dwergen, een elf, een halfling en een aeran begint hij aan een gevaarlijke queeste. Terwijl Vyrillia’s dreiging steeds groter wordt en storm en bliksem boven de stadspoorten samenpakken, dreigt alles waarvoor Thalon gevochten heeft in één klap verloren te gaan. Een verhaal over moed, opoffering en de kracht van een onverwacht gezelschap. Stormhart is een oorspronkelijk Nederlandstalige epische high fantasy standalone vol draken, dwergen, profetieën en vriendschap. Voor lezers van The Hobbit, Eragon en Forgotten Realms.
A lie. A love story. A lady-knight whose legend built a nation meets a retiring historian in awe of her fame.
He’s sent back through time to make sure she plays her part . . .
even if it breaks his heart. Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters – but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.
Centuries later, Owen Mallory – failed soldier, struggling scholar – falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives, and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.
But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend, and finally tell a different story, they’ll have to rewrite history itself – and change their lives in the process. Praise for The Everlasting‘An exquisite, epic romance .
After losing both their parents, Bristol Keats and her sisters struggle to stay afloat in their small, quiet town of Bowskeep. When Bristol begins to receive letters from an ‘aunt’ she has never heard of, who promises to help, Bristol reluctantly agrees to meet her – and discovers that everything she thought she knew about her family is a lie.
Her father might even still be alive. Not killed but kidnapped by terrifying creatures and taken to another realm – the one he is from. Desperate to save her father and find the truth, Bristol journeys to a land of gods, fae and monsters.
Pulled into a dangerous world of magic and intrigue, Bristol makes a deadly bargain with the fae king, Tyghan. But what she does not know is that he is the one who drove her parents to live a life on the run. And he is just as determined as she is to find her father – dead or alive .
. . A heart-wrenching love story that spans worlds and decades, The Courting of Bristol Keats explores second chances – the ones we are denied and the ones we refuse to give – and the lines we cross that may never be forgiven.
