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….

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?

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.
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.

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...
For the first time experience the first three hardcover volumes of
Seanan McGuire's Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children
series together in a boxset...
Regan loves, and is loved, though her school-friend situation has
become complicated, of late. When she suddenly finds herself thrust
through a doorway that asks her to 'Be Sure' before swallowing her
whole, Regan must learn to live in a world filled with centaurs,
kelpies, and other magical equines - a world that expects its human
visitors to step up and be heroes. But after embracing her time
with the herd, Regan discovers that not all forms of heroism are
equal, and not all quests are as they seem
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.
Now in hardcover, the fourteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New
York Times-bestselling Toby Daye urban fantasy series When October
is informed that Simon Torquill-legally her father, due to Faerie's
archaic marriage traditions-must be invited to her wedding or risk
the ceremony throwing the Kingdom in the Mists into political
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.

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.
