AUREN'S STORY ISN'T OVER YET.
SHE WILL FLY. SHE WILL SOAR.
One king caged my body.
Another has caged my mind.
War has broken out between Annwyn and Orea, though that’s not the only
battle being waged.
There’s a fight inside me, and it’s one I’m determined to win, no
matter how much they try to strip me down and hollow me out.
Yet they’ve forgotten one thing. The ancient magic of the pair bond.
One can never truly be lost when two souls are already bound.
Because Slade and I? We are connected by more than just fated magic,
and we will always find each other.
In any life.
The fae king is trying to destroy me. My heritage. My memory. But what
he hasn’t realized is this: gold bends, but stone breaks.
And a Goldfinch does not fall.
It flies.

doors between rooms―there are no secrets in this house!―Cordelia isn't
allowed to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's
beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on
her daily rides with him.
But more than a few quirks set her mother apart. Other parents can't
force their daughters to be silent and motionless―obedient―for hours or
days on end. Other mothers aren't . . . sorcerers.

A gorgeous illustrated edition of the fourth book in the beloved A Song
of Ice and Fire series, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones
With a special foreword by Joe Abercrombie
Here is the fourth book in the landmark series that has redefined
imaginative fiction and become a modern masterpiece in the making. This
special edition of A Feast for Crows features 24 original color
illustrations from artist Jeffrey R. McDonald.
A FEAST FOR CROWS
After centuries of bitter strife, the seven powers dividing the land
have beaten one another into an uneasy truce. But it's not long before
the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters of the Seven
Kingdoms gather. Now, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of
ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed while
surprising faces--some familiar, others only just appearing--emerge
from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the
challenges of the terrible times ahead. Nobles and commoners, soldiers
and sorcerers, assassins and sages, are coming together to stake their
fortunes . . . and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the
guests--but only a few are the survivors.
A GAME OF THRONES - A CLASH OF KINGS - A STORM OF SWORDS - A FEAST FOR
CROWS - A DANCE WITH DRAGONS
The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just
beginning to learn what living is all about. Elf mage Frieren and
her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and
brought peace to the land. But Frieren will long outlive the rest
of her former party. How will she come to understand what life
means to the people around her? The mages begin the second stage of
their certification exam: a dangerous expedition into the innermost
depths of the ruins of the king's tomb. This time, there are no
teams and it's every mage for themselves. Whether they want to team
up or not, the challenge they will face-their own clones-will push
their skills to the limit.
Once Upon a Time meets The Office in Hannah Maehrer’s laugh-out-loud
viral TikTok series turned novel, about the sunshine assistant to an
Evil Villain…and their unexpected romance.
ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal,
levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff
for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion
a must. Excellent benefits.
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just
important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn’s most infamous
Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is
perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on
your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don’t find
evil so attractive, Evie.
But just when she’s getting used to severed heads suspended from the
ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie
suspects this dungeon has a huge rat…and not just the literal kind.
Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and
someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.
Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure
out exactly who is sabotaging his work…and ensure he makes them pay.
After all, a good job is hard to find.
Florence Day is a ghost-writer with one big problem. She’s supposed to be penning swoon-worthy novels for a famous romance author but, after a bad break-up, Florence no longer believes in love. And when her strict (but undeniably hot) new editor, Benji Andor, won’t give her an extension on her book deadline, Florence prepares to kiss her career goodbye.
Although when tragedy strikes and Florence has to head home, the last thing she expects to see is a ghost at her front door. Not just any ghost, however, but the stern form of her still very hot – yet now unquestionably dead – new editor.
As sparks start to fly between them, Florence tells herself she can’t be falling for a ghost – even an infuriatingly sexy one. But can Benji help Florence to realise love isn’t dead, after all?
If you fell in love with Beach Read, The Love Hypothesis and The Hating Game, this laugh-out-loud romance packed with sizzling chemistry will give you all the feels!
