When Johnny invents a clean reactor that could eliminate fossil fuels and change the world, she awakens primal, evil Ancient Ones set on subjugating humanity. 
 
From the oldest library in the world to the ruins of Nineveh, hunted at every turn, they will need to trust each other completely to survive...

Beneath The Rising

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...

Kid Wolf and Kraken Boy

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

Tom Beckerlegge

Cadenza is the City of Words, a city run by poets, its skyline dominated by the steepled towers of its libraries, its heart beating to the stamp and thrum of the printing presses in the Printing Quarter. Carlo Mazzoni, a young wordsmith arrives at the city gates intent on making his name as the bells ring out with the news of the death of the city's poet-leader. Instead, he finds himself embroiled with the intrigues of a city in turmoil, the looming prospect of war with their rival Venice ever-present. A war that threatens not only to destroy Cadenza but remove it from history altogether...

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

Justina Robson

Four new tales of Doctors Catt and Fisher... 
 
Scholars, shopkeepers, collectors... aficionados. Obtainers of rare antiquities; relic hunters who can't resist a lead, even when it takes them into terrible danger. There's always an opportunity to be found amid the confusion, in the wake of the terrible Kinslayer War. There's always a deal to be done, a tomb to open, a precious thing to... obtain. 
 
From encounters with the monstrous Vathesk to exploring new worlds; from wielding great power to do great good, to unearthing dark things best left lost. If you need the experts, if you can find your way to their Cherivell shop, maybe you can hire Doctors Catt and Fisher.

The Tales of Catt and Fisher

Katherine Addison

"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

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

Wayne Santos

Maria is, in no particular order: a concept artist at one of Canada's biggest videogame studios, the goddess of Mount Makiling in the Philippines, and in love. And right now, being in love is her biggest problem. 
 
Because when Maria falls in love, tragedy and death follow-and always have. For hundreds of years. If she wants to break the cycle, it's going to take everything a goddess, her newly-befriended, anime-obsessed demon-horse, and Canadian national treasure Margaret Atwood have to make it happen.

The Difficult Loves of Maria Makiling

Rebecca Roanhorse

In the mythological Western mining town of Goetia, half-demon/half-Virtue Celeste's life is upended when her younger half-sister is arrrested for the murder of a Virtue.  Determined to save her sister and prove her innocence, Celeste turns to her former lover, Abraxas, a former general in the armies of Hell, for help. Soon Celeste is making her own deals with devils and angels alike to prove her sister's innocence. But in a world divided between Fallen and Virtuous, who can be trusted is never clear, and the journey to discover the truth threatens to become more than Celeste bargained for.

Misha is tall, infuriatingly handsome, and effortlessly charismatic-he can make almost anyone, man or woman, fall into bed with him. And he often does. 
 
But the more Evie is exposed to Misha's scandalous world, the more she becomes convinced that he's hiding something... when a wealthy San Francisco tech CEO with a dissolving marriage starts delving into the occult and turns up dead, Evie has to decide between her journalistic desire for the truth and her growing desire for Misha.

But the corruption in his city runs deeper than just one man, and an ally's betrayal unleashes an army of the dead on his home street. Koré must trust the world with his deepest secret to stand beside the woman and man he's finally let himself love, as only the bright truth of dragon's fire can break the iron fist of a necromancer's hold.

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.

Or refuse, as it turns out...  Wedged between the empires of Cadogna and L'Ombre, tiny Valtiffe holds on tightly to its independence-and to the opportunities for trade, politics and smuggling it offers. But powerful forces are bearing&amp;nbsp;down on the island nation, and soon Valen and his misfit crew  are caught up in a game where the fates of whole countries are at stake, and lives are as easily discarded as playing cards.

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

In the war-torn lands of Krandin, a kingdom fighting against the Worm King of 
the Penullin Empire and his dark magic, a stranger wakes, knowing only that

He possesses great strength and magic, but only fractured memories of his 
past, and a growing certainty that he is not, in fact, human. 
 
As he explores this new world, disoriented, making few friends and many 
enemies, the battle for his mind will determine the fate of the world.

Infernal

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.

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

Mickey7

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...

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.

The Black Coast

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.
