Katherine Addison

Celehar's life as the Witness for the Dead of Amalo grows less isolated as his circle of friends grows larger. He has been given an apprentice to teach, and he has stumbled over a scandal of the city-the foundling girls. Orphans with no family to claim them and no funds to buy an apprenticeship. Foundling boys go to the Prelacies; foundling girls are sold into service, or worse.  At once touching and shattering, Celehar's witnessing for one of these girls will lead him into the depths of his own losses.  The love of his friends will lead him out again.

The Grief of Stones

Murder, Politics and Intrigue. 
 
When the young half-goblin emperor Maia sought to learn who had set the bombs that killed his father and half-brothers, he turned to an obscure resident of his Court, a Prelate of Ulis and a Witness for the Dead. 
 
Thara Celehar found the truth, though it did him no good to discover it. Now he lives in the City of Amalo, far from the Court though not exactly in exile. He has not escaped from politics, but his position gives him the ability to serve the common people of the city, which is his preference. 
 
 He lives modestly, but his decency and fundamental honestly will not permit him to live quietly.

The Witness for the Dead

C. S. E. Cooney

Life gets complicated when Death gets involved. 
 
To be born into a family of royal assassins pretty much guarantees that your life is going to be... rather unusual. Especially if, like Miscellaneous "Lanie" Stones, you also have a vicious allergy to all forms of violence and bloodshed, and an uncanny affinity for bringing the dead back to life. To make matters worse, family debt looms - a debt that will have to be paid sooner rather than later if Lanie and her sister are to retain ownership of the ancestral seat, Stones Manor. Lanie finds herself courted and threatened by powerful parties who would love to use her worryingly intimate relationship with the goddess of death for their own nefarious ends. But the goddess has other plans...

But living with a rogue angel is not so easy; the pair find themselves drawn into mystery after mystery, from a man kidnapped by a vampire nest to Jack the Ripper's horrific murders. 
 
And besides Doyle's nightmares and shapeshifting, there is the lingering problem of Crow's sense of belonging and the worry that he might Fall....

The Angel of the Crows

Randee Dawn

Brought to you by Penguin. 
 
She's just a small town girl, with big mythic dreams. Starr Weatherby came to New York to become... well, a star. But after ten years and no luck, she's offered a big role - on a show no one has ever heard of. And there's a reason for that. It's a 'reality' show beyond the Veil, human drama, performed for the entertainment of the Fae. 
 
But as Starr shifts from astounded newcomer to rising fan favourite, she learns about the show's dark underbelly - and mysterious disappearance of her predecessor. She'll do whatever it takes to keep her dream job - though she might just bring down the show in the process.

Tune in Tomorrow

Alice James Books

Toni Windsor is trying to live a quiet life in the green and pleasant county of Staffordshire. She'd love to finally master the rules of croquet, acquire a decent boyfriend and make some commission as an estate agent. All that might have to wait, though, because there are zombies rising from their graves, vampires sneaking out of their coffins and a murder to solve. And it's all made rather more complicated by the fact that she's the one raising all the zombies. Oh, and she's dating one of the vampires too. It can't be the best decision she's ever made, but he's so pretty. Really, what's a girl meant to do?

Grave Secrets

"Challenging, invigorating, and unique." - Scott Lynch, bestselling author of The Lies of Locke Lamora 
 
Maia, the youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile, distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when his father and three sons in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir. Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any moment. Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favour with the naive new emperor, and overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can trust nobody. Amid the swirl of plots to depose him, offers of arranged marriages, and the spectre of the unknown conspirators who lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin Emperor.

The Goblin Emperor

But when the family descend on the house for the annual Fertility Festival, a week of drink, drugs and debauchery, Shine is plunged into intrigue: stolen letters, a fugitive spy, and family drama, mixed with murder, sex and secrets. 
 
As the festival draws to a close, Shine is forced to decide both her loyalties and future...

Shadow in the Empire of Light

Adrian Tchaikovsky

Ogres are bigger than you. Ogres are stronger than you. Ogres rule the world. 
 
It's always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call. Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. It's always been that way. It's the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes. 
 
But when the headman's son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlord's son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.

Ogres

Sam J. Miller

"Kid" Wolffe is an up-and-coming boxer in 1920s New York. An honest fighter's got little chance at success on the mob-controlled circuit-until ambitious lieutenant "Hinky" Friedman starts making moves to take over her boss's business, and sees a use for the kid. 
Teitelstam is a struggling tattoo artist, whose natural talent for ink magic won't amount to much without formal training. So he's got no idea why Hinky would offer him ten times what he's worth to come work for her. 
But Hinky has a vision for a better world, and her high-stakes plan to make it reality requires both Wolffe's fists and Teitelstam's magic. What neither Wolffe nor Teitelstam expects is to fall in love; and in this world, love might be more dangerous than deadly magic or an underworld turf war...

deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty, and their troubles 
really begin.

Mickey7

Premee Mohamed

Seven years ago, the last survivor of Earth crashed through uncountable dimensions and fetched up in a strange new world. Now Nick Prasad owes his life and livelihood to the royal family that employs him as a prophet, even though they are servants of the Ancient Ones who destroyed his home.  When a long-expected war breaks out, he's eager to help organize troops and supplies... until he's approached by a spy who claims to possess a secret that could end the reign of the Ancient Ones forever. The first step is jailbreaking a god who's probably been locked up a little too long (and that's the easy part).  Nick must choose between joining a fragile resistance founded on secrets and lies, or revealing it to the enemies he's sworn to serve. But if everything works, there might be a chance to free the entire multiverse from the grasp of the Ancient Ones... both past and future. 

The Void Ascendant

Clay Harmon

People like Ig are born from life-threatening trials that bind periodic elements to the human body, forged in the boiling volcanoes and subterranean passages under Mira's frozen lands.

When Sorrelo is overthrown, Ig quickly learns he can do worse - far worse - than what has been asked from him so far. If he can't escape the flesh binding in time, Ig will have to kill friend and foe alike as his master seeks to reclaim the throne or sacrifice himself trying.

Flames of Mira

Thilde Kold Holdt
