A bewitching epic fantasy about a revenge killing, a mysterious
scroll box that has survived centuries of fires, and the book that
changed everything "Intricately plotted and gorgeously written, The
Absolute Book is a cinematic tale that is by turns dark and
dreamlike, yet ultimately hopeful." --Deborah Harkness, New York
Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches "An instant
classic . . . It is everything fantasy should be." --The Guardian
Taryn Cornick believes that the past--her sister's violent death,
and her own ill-conceived revenge--is behind her, and she can get
on with her life. She has written a successful book about the
things that threaten libraries: insects, damp, light, fire,
carelessness and uncaring . . . but not all of the attention it
brings her is good. A policeman, Jacob Berger, questions her about
a cold case. Then there are questions about a fire in the library
at her grandparents' house and an ancient scroll box known as the
Firestarter, as well as threatening phone calls and a mysterious
illness. Finally a shadowy young man named Shift appears, forcing
Taryn and Jacob toward a reckoning felt in more than one world. The
Absolute Book is epic, action-packed fantasy in which hidden
treasures are recovered, wicked things resurface, birds can talk,
and dead sisters are a living force. It is a book of journeys and
returns, from contemporary England to Auckland, New Zealand; from a
magical fairyland to Purgatory. Above all, it is a declaration of
love for stories and the ways in which they shape our worlds and
create gods out of mortals.

The third novel in the Wheel of Time series - one of the most influential and popular fantasy epics ever published.
The Land is One with the Dragon - and the Dragon is One with the Land.
The Shadow lies across the Pattern of the Age, and the Dark One has turned all his power against the prison that binds him. If it fails he will escape and nothing will stand in the storm that blows then . . . save the man that was born to battle the darkness: Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn.
But to wage his war Rand must find Callandor, ancient Sword of the Dragon . . . and the Forsaken will shatter the world to thwart him.
The Hunger Games meets vampires in the first book of the New York Times
bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent, a
heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of dark magic and bloodthirsty
intrigue.
Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust,
never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.
The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved
her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become
something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament
held by the goddess of death herself.
But winning won’t be easy, pitting Oraya against the most vicious
warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, she will be forced
to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.
Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an
efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown – and her greatest
competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds
herself oddly drawn to him.
But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari – and nothing more
deadly than love . . .
The Serpent and the Wings of Night is the first book in the Crowns of
Nyaxia series, the New York Times bestselling TikTok sensation by
Carissa Broadbent. It is followed by The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.
