Following the destruction of the City of Mercy, an ancient god has
been resurrected and sealed inside Beru's body. But both are at the
mercy of the Prophet Pallas, who wields the god's powers to
subjugate the Six Prophetic Cities. Meanwhile, far away from Pallas
Athos, Anton learns to harness his full powers as a Prophet and
discovers the truth about how the original Prophets created a
weapon capable of killing a god. Along the way, the group's tenuous
alliance is threatened by mounting danger, impossible romances, and
most of all by a secret that Anton is hiding: a way to destroy the
god at the price of an unbearable sacrifice. But the cost of
keeping that secret might be their lives - and the lives of
everyone in the Six Prophetic Cities.

The night her best friend is brutally slaughtered by wolves, Vanessa
Hart's life is changed forever.
Because these are no ordinary wolves . . . they're werewolves. And when
Vanessa's father discovers that she has been bitten, he hands her to
them - and to the treacherous Wolf Queen's court.
Taken as prisoner to the enchanted Castle Severi, Vanessa vows to seek
vengeance for her friend, even as she finds herself mesmerised by the
golden prince Sinclair Severi, and his brooding disgraced cousin, Calix.
Vanessa has two choices: swear her life to the Court, or die the agony
of a lone wolf. But the malevolence of werewolf society goes far beyond
a single murder in the forest. The Court is at war, and Vanessa just a
pawn in its deadly game . . .
When you can't beat the odds, change the game.
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even
they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat
reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed
and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As
powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out
the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and
new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's
fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting
streets-a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate
of the world as they know it.

Once upon a time there was a tiny kingdom called Cornucopia, as rich in
happiness as it was in gold, and famous for its food. From the delicate
cream cheeses of Kurdsburg to the Hopes-of-Heaven pastries of
Chouxville, each was so delicious that people wept with joy as they ate
them.
But even in this happy kingdom, a monster lurks. Legend tells of a
fearsome creature living far to the north in the Marshlands... the
Ickabog. Some say it breathes fire, spits poison, and roars through the
mist as it carries off wayward sheep and children alike. Some say it's
just a myth...
And when that myth takes on a life of its own, casting a shadow over
the kingdom, two children - best friends Bert and Daisy - embark on a
great adventure to untangle the truth and find out where the real
monster lies, bringing hope and happiness to Cornucopia once more.
