The 18th novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times bestselling
October Daye urban fantasy series. For one bright, shining moment,
Tybalt, King of Cats, had everything he had ever wanted. He was
soon to set his crown aside; he had married the woman he loved; he
was going to be a father. After centuries of searching for a family
of his own, he had finally found a way to construct the life of his
dreams, and was looking forward to a period of peace—or at least
as much peace as is ever in the offing for the husband of a hero.
Alas for Tybalt and his domestic aspirations, fate—and
Titania—had other ideas. His perfect world had been complete for
only a moment when it was ripped away, to be replaced by hers.
Titania, Faerie’s Summer Queen, Mother of Illusions and enemy of
so many he holds dear, has seized control of the Kingdom, remaking
it in her own image. An image which does not include meddlesome
shapeshifters getting in her way. Tybalt quickly finds himself
banished from her reality, along with the Undersea and the rest of
the Court of Cats. To protect his people and his future, Tybalt
must find the woman he loves in a world designed to keep her from
him, convince her that he’s not a stranger trying to ruin her
life for no apparent reason, and get her to unmake the illusion
she’s been firmly enmeshed in. And he’ll have to do it all
while she doesn’t know him, and every unrecognizing look is a
knife to his heart. For Tybalt, King of Cats, the happily ever
after was just the beginning.

Award-winning Wayward Children series. Join the students of Eleanor
West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and
extraordinary. Book 1: Every Heart a Doorway Book 2: Down Among the

rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else.

Meet Nancy, cast out of her world by the Lord of the Dead; Jack and
Jill, each adopted by a monster of the Moors; Sumi and her
impossible daughter, Rini. Three worlds, three adventures, three
sets of lives destined to intersect. Eleanor West's Home for

quests are what these children do best...
The king of winter and the queen of summer are dead. The fight for
their crowns begins! Melanie has a destiny, though it isn’t the
one everyone assumes it to be. She’s delicate; she’s fragile;
she’s dying. Now, truly, is the winter of her soul. Harry
doesn’t want to believe in destiny, because that means accepting
the loss of the one person who gives his life meaning, who brings
summer to his world. So, when a new road is laid out in front of
them—a road that will lead through untold dangers toward a
possible lifetime together—walking down it seems to be the only
option. But others are following behind, with violence in their
hearts. It looks like Destiny has a plan for them, after all….

Now in paperback, the sixteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New
York Times bestselling October Daye urban fantasy series. October
Daye is finally something she never expected to be: married. All
the trials and turmoils and terrors of a hero’s life have done
very little to prepare her for the expectation that she will
actually share her life with someone else, the good parts and the
bad ones alike, not just allow them to dabble around the edges in
the things she wants to share. But with an official break from hero
duties from the Queen in the Mists, and her family wholly on board
with this new version of “normal,†she’s doing her best to
adjust. It isn’t always easy, but she’s a hero, right? She’s
done harder. Until an old friend and ally turns out to have been an
enemy in disguise for this entire time, and October’s brief
respite turns into a battle for her life, her community, and
everything she has ever believed to be true. The debts of the
Broken Ride are coming due, and whether she incurred them or not,
she’s going to be the one who has to pay.
Seanan McGuire's New York Times-bestselling and Hugo
Award-nominated urban fantasy InCryptid series continues with the
eleventh book following the Price family, cryptozoologists who
study and protect the creatures living in secret all around us.
Love, noun: 1. An intense feeling of deep affection; may be
romantic, filial or platonic. Passion, noun: 1. A strong or barely
controllable emotion. 2. Enthusiasm, interest, desire. 3. See also
"obsession." For Alice Price-Healy, finding her missing husband
isn't just a mission: it's an obsession, the thing she has
willingly given up every other aspect of her life to pursue. And
after more than fifty years, she finally has confirmation that he
might be alive out there. She may even have a direction. Now, if
she can just keep herself from getting killed before she reaches
her destination, she might be able to finish her seemingly endless
quest. All she wants is a happy ending. That's the only thing the
universe has never wanted her to have. Fifty years of running
through dimensions without a lot of concern for making friends has
left her with more enemies than allies, but she's still got a few
places to turn, including Naga, the professor of extra-dimensional
studies and giant snake-man she met when she was seven, Helen and
Phoebe, the Ithacan satyrs, and Cynthia, the owner of the Red Angel
Tavern. Where she can't turn is to her family, back on Earth and
tired of her dimension-hopping obsession. They wrote her off as
unreliable long ago, and are unlikely to join what looks like one
more wild goose chase. But is it? Or is this the time Alice finally
brings Thomas home to stay?

The 17th novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times bestselling
October Daye urban fantasy series. October is very happy with her
life as the second daughter of her pureblood parents, Amandine and
Simon Torquill. Born to be the changeling handmaid to her beloved
sister August, she spends her days working in her family’s tower,
serving as August’s companion, and waiting for the day when her
sister sets up a household of her own. Everything is right in
October’s Faerie. Everything is perfect. Everything is a lie.
October has been pulled from her own reality and thrown into a
twisted reinterpretation of Faerie where nothing is as it
should be and everything has been distorted to support
Titania’s ideals. Bound by the Summer Queen’s magic and thrust
into a world turned upside down, October has no way of knowing who
she can trust, where she can turn, or even who she really is. As
strangers who claim to know her begin to appear and the edges of
Titania’s paradise begin to unravel, Toby will have to decide
whether she can risk everything she knows based on only their
stories of another world. But first she’ll have to survive this
one, as Titania demonstrates why she needed to be banished in the
first place—and this time, much more than Toby’s own life is at
stake.
Winner: 2022 Hugo Award for Best Series In Where the Drowned Girls
Go, the next addition to Seanan McGuire's beloved Wayward Children
series, students at an anti-magical school rebel against the
oppressive faculty "Welcome to the Whitethorn Institute. The first
step is always admitting you need help, and you've already taken
that step by requesting a transfer into our company." There is
another school for children who fall through doors and fall back
out again. It isn't as friendly as Eleanor West's Home for Wayward
Children. And it isn't as safe. When Eleanor West decided to open
her school, her sanctuary, her "Home for Wayward Children," she
knew from the beginning that there would be children she couldn't
save; when Cora decides she needs a different direction, a
different fate, a different prophecy, Miss West reluctantly agrees
to transfer her to the other school, where things are run very
differently by Whitethorn, the Headmaster. She will soon discover
that not all doors are welcoming...
Toby's getting married! Now in paperback, the fifteenth novel of
the Hugo-nominated, New York Times-bestselling October Daye urban
fantasy series. It's hard to be a hero. There's always something
needing October "Toby" Daye's attention, and her own desires tend
to fall by the wayside in favor of solving the Kingdom's problems.
That includes the desire to marry her long-time suitor and current
fiance, Tybalt, San Francisco's King of Cats. She doesn't mean to
keep delaying the wedding, it just sort of...happens. And that's
why her closest friends have taken the choice out of her hands,
ambushing her with a court wedding at the High Court in Toronto.
Once the High King gets involved, there's not much even Toby can do
to delay things... ...except for getting involved in stopping a
plot to overthrow the High Throne itself, destabilizing the
Westlands entirely, and keeping her from getting married through
nothing more than the sheer volume of chaos it would cause. Can
Toby save the Westlands and make it to her own wedding on time? Or
is she going to have to choose one over the other? Includes an
all-new bonus novella!
For the first time experience the first three hardcover volumes of

New York Times bestselling and Alex, Nebula, and Hugo-Award-winning author Seanan McGuire introduces readers to a world of amoral alchemy, shadowy organizations, and impossible cities in the standalone fantasy, Middlegame.
Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story.
Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math.
Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet.
Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.
Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn’t attained.
The third book of the Ghost Roads series returns to the highways of
America, where hitchhiking ghost Rose Marshall continues her battle
with her killer-the immortal Bobby Cross. Lady of shadows, keeper
of changes, plant the seeds of faith within me, that I might grow
and flourish, that I might find my way through danger and
uncertainty to the safety of your garden. Let my roots grow strong
and my skin grow thick, that I might stand fast against all who
would destroy me. Grant to me your favor, grant to me your grace,
and when my time is done, grant to me the wisdom to lay my burdens
down and rest beside you, one more flower in a sea of blooms, where
nothing shall ever trouble me again. Rose Marshall died when she
was sixteen years old and on her way to her high school prom. She
hasn't been resting easy since then-Bobby Cross, the man who killed
her, got away clean after running her off the road, and she's not
the kind of girl who can let something like that slide. She's been
looking for a way to stop him since before they put her body in the
ground. But things have changed in the twilight world where the
spirits of the restless dead continue their "lives." The crossroads
have been destroyed, and Bobby's protections are gone. For the
first time, it might be possible for Rose to defeat him. Not alone,
though. She'll need every friend she's managed to make and every
favor she's managed to add to her account if she wants to stand a
chance...and this may be her last chance to be avenged, since what
is Bobby Cross without the crossroads? Everything Rose knows is
about to change.
If you ever lost a sock, you'll find it here. If you ever wondered
where your favourite toy from childhood ended up, it's probably
sitting on a shelf in the back. And the headphones that you swore
that this time you'd keep safe? You guessed it... Antoinette has
lost her father. Metaphorically. He's not in the shop, and she'll
never see him again. But when Antsy finds herself lost (literally,
this time), she finds that however many doors open for her, leaving
the Shop for good might not be as simple as it sounds. Lost in the
Moment and Found tells us that childhood and innocence, once lost,
can never be found.
"For her to love me, she had to be willing to kill me. Anything
else would show that her heart was untrue." The struggle against
not-so-charming storybook narratives isn't the only complicating
factor in Henrietta "Henry" Marchen's life. As part of the ATI
Management Bureau team protecting the world from fairy tales gone
awry, she's juggling her unwanted new status as a Snow White,
dealing with a potentially dangerous Pied Piper, and wrangling a
most troublesome wicked stepsister-along with a budding
relationship with Jeff, her teammate. But when a twisted, vicious
Cinderella breaks out of prison and wreaks havoc, things go from
disenchanted to deadly. And once Henry realizes someone is trying
to use her to destroy the world, her story becomes far from
over-and this one might not have a happily ever after. Indexing:
Reflections is New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire's
continuing new urban fantasy, where everything you thought you knew
about fairy tales gets turned on its head. This book was initially

Now in hardcover, the fourteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New
York Times-bestselling Toby Daye urban fantasy series When October

archaic marriage traditions-must be invited to her wedding or risk

turmoil, she finds herself setting out on a quest she was not yet
prepared to undertake for the sake of her future.... and the man
who represents her family's past.
