Loki and Valkyrie seek redemption in the first adventure of an epic
new multiversal series that reimagines the origins of iconic Marvel
heroes. So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities,
creating infinite realities. Long have I watched the trickster god
sow chaos. But...what if Loki saved Asgard from Tony Stark's
revenge? Thor - Son of Odin, God of Thunder, wielder of the hammer
Mjolnir - is dead. And Loki is responsible. It was only meant to be
a joke - tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor's course to
Midgard - a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki's
harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and
destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it.
The city was saved, but at the cost of Thor's life. Furious and
heartbroken, the All-Father banishes Loki to Earth for his crime.
Loki finds himself in a realm of boxed wine, instant noodles, and
some sort of regional performance troupe known as the "Buffalo
Bills." It's a meager existence, far from Asgard's grand courts,
but he finds his new friend, Brian the Gecko, a much more engaging
companion than the sycophants back home. A true meeting of the
minds. Loki is the God of Mischief - but he knows, deep down, that
he never truly deserved to stand next to their father's golden
child Thor, as two true sons of Odin. Yet, he cannot even endure
his exile in peaceful isolation. A Valkyrie - Hel-bent on carrying
out her oath to Thor - barges into his trailer-home with his
brother's final words from the beyond: a plea to find a certain Dr.
Jane Foster and pass on Mjolnir to its rightful heir. While Loki
struggles to fulfil his brother's last request, the far-reaching
consequences of his fatal prank return to haunt him. Blinded by
grief from those he lost in the chaos wrought by Asgard, Iron Man
vows revenge on those who consider themselves gods. Determined to
protect the Earth from the might of this unpredictable alien power,
he forges Asgard's own weaponry into a lethal suit of armor, set on
eradicating any tether between their worlds. Consequences be
damned. When Asgard looks to Loki for salvation, he must answer the
question: Am I truly worthy?

Explore the world of Critical Role, the D&D online phenomenon,
and delve into the mind of their most charming villain in this
original novel. Lucien has always been able to spin a bad situation
to his advantage. From his childhood on the dangerous streets of
Shadycreek Run to his years living off the grid and learning blood
magic from the Claret Orders, the charismatic blood hunter will
find a way to get the upper hand. When Lucien is on a job in the
frozen wastelands of Eiselcross with his fellow mercenaries, a
rough-and-tumble crew called the Tombtakers, fate leads him to a
mysterious journal in the ruins of an ancient city. The book speaks
of the Somnovem, nine beings who can grant Lucien power beyond
imagining-if he is able to find them and free them from captivity.
Intrigued by this opportunity, Lucien pores over the journal-but
the more he reads, the stranger things become. The nine whisper to
him in dreams and waking visions. Time slips away, along with
Lucien's grasp on reality. And tattoos of red eyes begin appearing
on his skin. . . . With the ability to reshape the world within his
grasp, Lucien ignores all warning signs. He has always bent fortune
to his will, and nothing-not even death-will stop him now. Written
by New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux, Critical Role:
The Mighty Nein-The Nine Eyes of Lucien explores the meteoric rise
and fall of one of Critical Role's most notorious and tragic
figures.

of Warcraft. "The Horde is nothing!" With those infamous words,
Sylvanas Windrunner betrayed and abandoned the Horde she vowed to
serve. The Dark Lady and her forces now work in the shadows as both
the Horde and Alliance, including her own sister, Alleria, race to
uncover her next move. Struggling to shoulder the crushing weight
of leadership, King Anduin entrusts the void elf and High Exarch

mantle of warchief to rest. Thrall, Lor'themar Theron, Baine
Bloodhoof, First Arcanist Thalyssra, and many other familiar faces

action. They empower the young troll shaman Zekhan, still grieving

with a terrifying gambit: to kill the troll loa of death himself,
Bwonsamdi. As Zekhan and Talanji work to save Bwonsamdi, their
journey will be a key turning point in bolstering the Horde against
the coming darkness and finding themselves along the way. Failure
to save their allies and the trickster god will surely doom
them-but through success, they may rediscover what makes the Horde
strong.

reading experience that blurs the lines between past and present,

affairs are now interlaced with unspeakable horrors. The girls

to escape this nightmare with their lives.
An all-new gothic horror series from the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum.
After escaping a harsh school where punishment was the lesson of the day, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton is thrilled to find employment as a maid at a boarding house. But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa begins to realize that the house’s mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests.

Featuring stunning interior illustrations from artist Iris Compiet, plus photo-collages that bring Coldthistle House to chilling life, House of Furies invites readers to a world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum comes the second book in an all-new creepy fantasy series praised as “darkly delightful.”*
After the frightful events of last autumn, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity.
As Louisa struggles to figure out whether she is worthy of redemption, the devilish Mr. Morningside plans a fete—one that will bring new guests to Coldthistle House. From wicked humans to Upworlders, angelic beings who look down on Mr. Morningside’s monstrous staff, all are armed with their own brand of self-righteous justice.
Even a man claiming to be Louisa’s father has a role to play, though what his true motive is, Louisa cannot tell. The conflicts will eventually come to a head on the grounds of Coldthistle House—and the stakes include Louisa’s very soul.
In this second book of Madeleine Roux’s suspenseful House of Furies series, illustrations from artist Iris Compiet and chilling photographs help bring to life a twisted world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin.
In this terrifying prequel novel to the New York Times bestselling
Asylum series, a teen is wrongfully committed to the Brookline
psychiatric hospital and must find a way out-before he becomes the
next victim of the evil warden's experiments. With the page-turning
suspense and unsettling found photographs from real asylums that
led Publishers Weekly to call Asylum "a strong YA debut," Escape
from Asylum is perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for
Peculiar Children. The nightmare is just beginning. Ricky Desmond
has been through this all before. If he could just get through to
his mother, he could convince her that he doesn't belong at
Brookline. From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who
killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he
did was lose his temper just a little bit, just the once. But when
Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very
special program-a program that the warden claims will not cure him
but perfect him-Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for
his mom a second longer. With the help of a sympathetic nurse and a
fellow patient, Ricky needs to escape now. Set long before Dan,
Abby, and Jordan ever walked the hallways of the Brookline
asylum-back when it was still a functioning psych ward and not a
dorm-Escape from Asylum is a mind-bending and scary installment in
the Asylum series that can stand on its own for new readers or
provide missing puzzle pieces for series fans. This paperback
edition features a chilling sneak peek at Madeleine Roux's all-new
gothic horror novel, House of Furies.
