In the depths of a remote forest, an enchanted castle preys on unwary travellers.
The servants of the Goddess Morana sacrifice to their dark mistress every soul who crosses the castleās threshold. One terrible night, three people who should never have met find themselves trapped there: a spoiled lady escaping an unwanted marriage, an aging warrior-prince on a deadly mission, and a resourceful rogue caught up in a botched heist. As their destinies entwine and the dawn approaches, the solution to the castleās riddle becomes clear: if they want to escape, one of them must die.
A dark fantasy tale inspired by Slavic folklore, Dark Woods, Deep Water is the debut novel by Croatian author Jelena Dunato. Set in an intricately imagined world that staggers the line between fairytale and brutality, this novel will appeal to fans of Katherine Arden and Naomi Novik, as well as lovers of classic Gothic fiction.

Rome is marching. Cities and temples are falling. On the outskirts of the empire, Princess Andrada convinces her father to tutor her as his heir despite a taboo against women rulers. But her lifelong battle against entrenched customs shatters when she fails the King's Challenge and is sentenced to death.
To save Andrada from execution, her father marries her off to a neighboring king who doesn't care much about governing. Devastated, the new queen resolves to watch over her country from exile, preparing for the inevitable Roman attack. Although the crystal bell she risked everything to claim during the challenge grants odd wishes, she's dangerously unarmed against an unloving husband who needs a son from her. Meanwhile, her worst enemy is plotting to kill her once and for all.
Can this brave queen unite all the warring factions to stand strong before the mighty Roman Empire?
The Exiled Queen is a gritty and grounded historical fantasy. Pulling together threads from the past of her native Eastern Europe, Roxana Arama reimagines a people on the brink of drastic change. If you like fierce female protagonists, speculative sagas, and dramatic twists, you'll love this sweeping adventure.

Saida is a fox-shifter who gardens magic in each of the five Sense-enhanced worlds, but the Vision worldās magic is fading fast. She must find and transplant magic from the other worlds to save it, and a human on Sound has the strongest voice magic sheās ever heard. Saida fears humans and the touch of their hands, but she might have to make an exception for Alesio.
Alesio is an ex cage match fighter and aspiring singer. All he wants is to sing at the best concert hall in town, but his old gang haunts him, trying to make him return to fighting, and his partial deafness makes him doubt his dream. He never imagined meeting someone like Saida or traveling to different worlds.
Meanwhile, by accident, Saida opens a portal to a different Plane than the Sense worlds altogether and releases a monster: a monster hungry for her magic. She needs to find enough transplants to save Vision while running from the monster; but what she fears the most is the trust and attraction blossoming between her and Alesio.

THERE ARE REASONS WE FEAR THE NIGHT. HEāS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Loud-mouthed gamer Bill Ryder thought the dice had finally rolled in his favor when he met Sally. Sadly, his triumph quickly turned into a critical failureāleaving him at deathās door with his throat torn out.
Now heās a vampire, trapped in a world of monsters that are stronger, deadlier, and a hell of a lot cooler. Theyāre giving him just ninety days to prove he has what it takes to be an apex predator of the night, assuming he doesnāt give them a reason to dust his ass sooner.
This game isnāt over yet, though. Turns out a vamp like Bill hasnāt been seen in centuries. Heās got a few tricks up his sleeve, unexpected allies, and an attitude thatās too obnoxious to quit. Heāll need all that and more if he doesnāt want to end up even deader than last time.
Join him in this hilarious tale of bloodthirsty beasts, gory mayhem, and an unlikely hero whoās still at the bottom of the food chain.

The Halfblood War is a sweeping epic fantasy of love and war, prejudice, and acceptance.
Tirren, heir to the ruler of Thiery, has raised his half-Elven son in a land that hates and fears the Elves, but his sonās struggle for acceptance is only one source of Tirrenās pain. The other is his unfading desire for Yslaaran, the Elven woman who 18 years ago captured him in a spell, seduced him, and vanished. She returned only once more - to hand him his infant son.
When a neighboring ruler attacks the land of Thiery, Tirren rides to battle with his halfblood son at his side. Learning of the war, Yslaaran fears the conflict will unravel her long-laid plans for the boy. If she doesnāt interfere, he could die before his time, but if she reveals her hand by meddling, her own people could rise up against the humans they despise, trapping the land between two deadly enemies.
The fate of two races hang in the balance, but only Yslaaran knows that both humans and Elves risk a future even more devastating than war.
