Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedicated study and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise may also fall, and fall he does--cast from the heavens and banished to the world below. Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time, angering most of the gods in the process. To repay his debts, he is sent to the Mortal Realm to hunt down violent ghosts and troublemaking spirits who prey on the living. Along his travels, he meets the fascinating and brilliant San Lang, a young man with whom he feels an instant connection. Yet San Lang is clearly more than he appears... What mysteries lie behind that carefree smile? This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) is the newest work from author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and has spawned an ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world--including the animated series (donghua) that amassed 100+ million views in just its first month. This deluxe hardcover rerelease of Seven Seas’ bestselling English-language paperback features special embellishments: a dust jacket featuring all-new art and foil lettering, a new foil illustration against linen-texture graining on the hardcover itself, elaborate printed edges, and a ribbon bookmark. Featuring art from Arisk_k, Za Nian, huaepiphany, ZeldaCW, and 日出的小太陽 (tai3_3).
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?
Years before the end of the war against the Demon King, Macht, the most powerful of the Seven Sages of Destruction, made a deal with the lord of the fortress city of Weise in an attempt to understand human emotions. Although the deal was at first beneficial to both sides, Macht eventually transformed the entire city and all of its residents into gold. Now, the strange tale of Macht, the fate of Weise, and Denken’s own past will all lead Frieren and her companions to one of their most difficult confrontations yet.
One of the first dystopian novels ever written, The Last Man
traces the impact of an unstoppable pandemic as it slowly overtakes the
world. Beginning in the year 2073, the story follows Lionel Vesey—the
titular last man—and his circle of friends as the disease creeps from
continent to continent and erodes the foundations of civilization.
Published in 1826, after the death of Shelley’s husband, her
stepsister, and her two children, The Last Man is both an eerily
accurate story about humanity wrestling with disaster and a moving
fable about surviving personal grief.

Sparks continue to fly in this Therapy Game sequel where Shizuma and Minato learn to navigate commitment—in both work and love! From a forgotten one-night stand to a plan for revenge, Shizuma and Minato have been through it all. But now that they’re officially a couple, new challenges await, and their fledgling relationship must learn to soar! Minato, with Shizuma along to assist, is on location for a photo shoot he’s doing for the girls at the bar. In true Minato fashion, he fully immerses himself in his work—so much so that he doesn’t realize until the shoot is over that he completely forgot Shizuma’s birthday! And to make matters worse, being on location means he’s unable to get him any presents. Shizuma says it’s okay, but Minato has made up his mind. He must do something!
West 86th Street knows its desserts. It's the 1970s, and poppyseed
strudel, praline ice cream cake, and New York cheesecake are as
integral to Manhattan's Upper West Side as clustered pigeons, suited
doormen, and greasy diners. That is, until Cato comes to town. Cato the
Elder, a Roman born in 234 BCE, is credited with the earliest written
recipe ever found. A recipe for . . . cheesecake. No cream cheese, no
graham cracker crust, somehow savory and sweet, the recipe is
enigmatic-and suddenly, it's all anyone on West 86th Street can talk
about.
The Katsikases, a Greek cheesemaking family who immigrated to open a
restaurant in New York, added Cato's pastry to their menu as a ploy to
attract “upscale” diners. After a glowing write-up in the Times, the
recipe becomes a neighborhood fixation-and the Katsikases' patriarch,
Art, buys up as much of the block's real estate as he can. As the
portentous pastry appears in the lives of the old-school residents Art
is pricing out of their apartments, a sidewalk view of West 86th Street
emerges: A high-profile family planning a high-pressure bat mitzvah, a
painter's muse with a terrible secret, an eccentric art collector
plotting revenge. Sometimes laced with green M&Ms, sometimes with
sage, sometimes with spite, Cato's cheesecake heralds change as West
86th Street is transformed for good.

Did you already see Deadpool & Wolverine? They say that Deadpool is irresponsible. They call him chaotic. You know what else they call him? Back! It’s been a while since Deadpool has checked in with the Avengers Samurai Squad. Lives change, habits shift, and sometimes you just fall out of touch. Can you blame him? Deadpool has a lot going on. He’s a globe-trotting super hero! Anyway, Deadpool has finally returned to Japan, and this time, it’s no-holds-barred! Hey, who’s the villain this time? Who killed Sakura Spider? Are there any cool guest stars in this one? Do you think Deadpool is going to be okay? He’s the coolest, right?
The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000,
consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters
and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of
modern marriages.
Told from seven points of view, 'Eve in Hollywood' describes how one of
Towles’s most beloved characters, the indomitable Evelyn Ross from
Rules of Civility, crafts a new future for herself―and others―in a
noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows and dive
bars of 1930s Los Angeles.
Written with his signature wit, humour and sophistication, Table for
Two is another glittering addition to Towles’s canon of stylish and
transporting fiction.
