Putting a Witcher twist on family life, this delightful collection of
comics features Geralt of Rivia as your average monster-slaying dad,
trying to raise young Ciri to be a good kid while teaching her all
about life as a witcher—a perfect gift for parents and The Witcher fans
of all ages.
Young Ciri's extensive training at Kaer Morhen, the witchers'
stronghold, includes everything she needs to learn to survive the many
threats in her world . . . as well as all the antics and fun of a
little girl bonding with her adoptive dad and family.
With help from Geralt and Ciri's closest companions—including the
motherly magic of Yennefer of Vengerberg and the wisdom of uncle
Vesemir—these adorable tales of a non-traditional family will make you
laugh, make you sigh, and make you realize that raising a Little
Witcher is not that different from raising any other kid. Sure, bedtime
stories might include warnings of monsters who fart when surprised, and
Geralt might invoke the Witcher Code to get Ciri to brush her teeth or
clean her room, but even the formidable White Wolf knows to surrender
when it comes to bedtime battles or Afternoon Tea with the toys.
The Little Witcher is perfect for:
- The Witcher fans raising little Ciris of their own
- Readers who believe in the power of chosen families
- Baby showers (don’t forget Dad!)
- Father’s Day or Mother’s Day gifts
- Players looking for a light-hearted twist on their favourite game
- Families who like cute, magical comics
- The Witcher fans looking to spend more time in Kaer Morhen
Wei Wuxian was once one of the most powerful men of his generation,
a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts
and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of
war led him to seek more power through demonic cultivation, the
world's respect for his abilities turned to fear, and his death was
celebrated throughout the land. Years later, he awakens in the body
of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei
Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second
life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that
appear before him now. Yet this time, he'll face it all with the
righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, another powerful
cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their
past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.
This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series built around the
romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been translated into
numerous languages and spawned a multimedia franchise that has
taken the globe by storm, including the massively popular
live-action series The Untamed available now on Netflix, YouTube,
and more. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include
exclusive, all-new covers from Jin Fang (jinzillaa), interior
illustrations from Marina Privalova (BaoshanKaro), and a
translation by Suika (yummysuika) with editor Pengie (pengiesama).

It was a time for college friendships and strong family ties. Then
an incident causes Cap to embark upon a lonely journey. Without
concerns for the past or future, he embraces each new experience
and adventure with good intentions - and he never loses touch with
the one decent character quality that dwells within his soul. Cap
proves that love and life are conditional, and both can be measured
by a simple act of kindness.
'A writer of great subtlety and intelligence, who understands that
emotional power comes from the steady accretion of detail' Kamila
Shamsie, Guardian 'She writes elegantly and intelligently whatever
the subject matter' Francesca Angelini, The Times 'A compulsively
readable novel' Manil Suri, New York Times 'A horse was in flames.
It roamed beneath the ocean breathing fire . . . ' When he wakes
up, Elango knows his life has changed. His dream will consume him
until he gives it shape. The potter must create a terracotta horse
whose beauty will be reason enough for its existence. Yet he cannot
pin down from where it has galloped into his mind - the
Mahabharata, or Trojan legend, or his anonymous potter-ancestors.
Nor can he say where it belongs - in a temple compound, within a
hotel lobby, or with Zohra, whom he despairs of ever marrying. The
astral, indefinable force driving Elango towards forbidden love and
creation has unleashed other currents. A neighbourhood girl begins
her bewildering journey into adulthood, developing a complicated
relationship with him. A lost dog adopts him, taking over his
heart. Meanwhile, his community is driven by inflammatory passions
of a different kind. Here, people, animals, and even the gods live
on a knife's edge and the consequences of daring to dream against
the tide are cataclysmic. Moving between India and England, The
Earthspinner reflects the many ways in which the East encounters
the West. It breathes new life into ancient myths, giving
allegorical shape to the war of fanaticism against reason and the
imagination. An intricate, wrenching novel about the changed ways
of loving and living in the modern world.
Winner of the International Booker Prize.
Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself.
Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.
An urban, fantasy tale of two women who overcome heartbreak,
history, and the Shadow Fae to find happiness, themselves, and each
other, against the magical backdrop of the Pendragon Renaissance
Faire.
Charlie-Not-Afraid-of-His-Horse, Lee Mick''s first published novel
received wide acclaim for his memorable characters of Charlie, Beth
and Walk-Behind as well as for his historical accuracy. His uncanny
ability to create living characters from fiction continues in
"Below the Horizon." It is the moving tale of a small town in the
dustbowl years; but mostly it is the story of three brothers-in-law
and how they help each other survive. Ed Kaufman, the oldest
brother-in-law, as well as the sheriff, is basically an honest man,
but understands that hard times call for ingenuity. Dietz Titus, a
brother-in-law and master-maker of whiskey is a self-taught
philosopher and farmer who believes his wife, Katie, and children
are worth the risk of bootlegging. Frank Hagen, the youngest
brother-in-law, is on the brink of losing his farm due to drought.
His wife, Tracy, is unable to conquer fears from her staunch
Catholic upbringing, but with Katie''s help she backs Frank in his
bootlegging endeavors. From out of the dust comes a man of the
times...Willie Loop. He hitches a ride with Frank at the communal
water well and soon becomes a part of the team. This dynamic tale
of survival gives kudos to the outlaws, who in this story are the
good guys.
1906 After a summer of successful pirate-treasure hunting, Lady
Emily Scofield and her friends must hide the unprecedented
discoveries they've made, thanks to the betrayal of her own family.
Horrified by her brother, who will stop at nothing to prove himself
to their greedy father, Emily is forced to take a stand against her
family--even if it means being cut off entirely. Bram Sinclair,
Earl of Telford, is fascinated with tales of King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table--an interest he's kept mostly hidden for
the last decade. But when a diary is unearthed on the islands that
could lead to a secret artifact, Bram is the only one able to piece
the legends together. As Bram and Emily seek out the whereabouts of
the hidden artifact, they must dodge her family and a team of
archaeologists. In a race against time, it is up to them to decide
what makes a hero worthy of legend. Is it fighting valiantly to
claim the treasure . . . or sacrificing everything in the name of
selfless love?
