A scorchingly sexy and inclusive YA romantasy that is sure to be the talk of TikTok!
An assassin, a soldier, a prince . . . and a deadly game of power, where no one knows the rules. Prepare to enter the world of Chaos and Flame
When Darling Seabreak's family were murdered by the ruthless House Dragon, she swore she'd get revenge. And as a deadly assassin, there's no one she'd rather take out than their bloodthirsty war general, Talon Goldhoard.
Talon Goldhoard has no problem defending his lands from threats - even ones he hates, like the whispers of madness that surround his brother, the High Prince. So when he battles a ferocious girl who looks exactly like the one Caspian has painted obsessively, repeatedly, for years, Talon knows he must capture her alive - and find out exactly what kind of a threat she really is.
What Talon is unprepared for is the thrilling chaos that Darling will bring into his life. With the world they both know appearing to catch fire all around them, these unlikely allies must navigate a game of power, betrayal, destiny - and love - that neither of them could ever have expected.

for the rest of her days. Raliel is desperate to see the Empire
Between Five Mountains, and she feels a deep kinship with Moon, who

Tessa Gratton's latest epic adult fantasy, Lady Hotspur, is a
sweeping, heart-stopping Shakespearean novel of betrayal and
battlefields and destiny. STRIKE FAST, LOVE HARD, LIVE FOREVER This
is the motto of the Lady Knights - sworn to fealty under a
struggling kingdom, promised to defend the prospective heir, Banna
Mora. But when a fearsome rebellion overthrows the throne, Mora is
faced with an agonizing choice: give up everything she's been
raised to love, and allow a king-killer to be rewarded - or retake
the throne, and take up arms against the newest heir, Hal
Bolingbrooke, Mora's own childhood best friend and sworn head of
the Lady Knights. Hal loathes being a Prince; she's much more
comfortable instated on the Throne of Misrule, a racous underground
nether-court where passion rules all. She yearns to live up to the
wishes of everyone she loves best - but that means sacrificing her
own heart, and so she will disappoint everyone until the moment she
can rise to prove those expectations wrong. And between these two
fierce Princes is the woman who will decide all their fates - Lady
Isarna Hotspur, the fiery and bold knight whose support will turn
the tides of the coming war.

A KINGDOM AT RISK, A CROWN DIVIDED, A FAMILY DRENCHED IN BLOOD.
Tessa Gratton's debut epic adult fantasy, The Queens of Innis Lear,
brings to life a world that hums with ancient magic, and characters
as ruthless as the tides. The erratic decisions of a
prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic,
leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects.
Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing
vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade
routes. The king's three daughters - battle-hungry Gaela, master
manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia - know the
realm's only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign,
proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But
their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the
year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted.
Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the
daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war - but regardless of who
wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house
divided.
An orphan girl must face untold danger and an ancient evil to save
her kingdom's prince in this "dark, sensuous...queer and lush"
(Kirkus Reviews) fantasy perfect for fans of Girls of Paper and
Fire and Tess of the Road. How can you live without your heart? In
the vast palace of the empress lives an orphan girl called Nothing.
She slips within the shadows of the Court, unseen except by the
Great Demon of the palace and her true friend, Prince Kirin, heir
to the throne. When Kirin is kidnapped, only Nothing and the
prince's bodyguard suspect that Kirin may have been taken by the
Sorceress Who Eats Girls, a powerful woman who has plagued the land
for decades. The sorceress has never bothered with boys before, but
Nothing has uncovered many secrets in her sixteen years in the
palace, including a few about the prince. As the empress's army
searches fruitlessly, Nothing and the bodyguard set out on a rescue
mission, through demon-filled rain forests and past crossroads
guarded by spirits. Their journey takes them to the gates of the
Fifth Mountain, where the sorceress wields her power. There,
Nothing discovers that all magic is a bargain, and she may be more
powerful than she ever imagined. But the price the Sorceress
demands for Kirin may very well cost Nothing her heart.

A fiery, seductive novel of magic, secrets and love - fans of
FALLEN will be equally spellbound! My whole body shivered. I was
about to find out if magic was real. The electric thrill of terror
was sharp on my tongue. I cut deep. The murder of her parents has
left Silla damaged and lost, and her insistence that her father is
not to blame alienates her from her friends and family. When a
mysterious spell book arrives, Silla hopes it will lead to some
answers about her parents' killer. In her first attempt at magic,
in an old graveyard near her home, she is overseen by Nick, the new
boy in town who has a chilling past of his own. Together, they must
contend with a deadly immortal woman who will stop at nothing to
possess the book of spells.
