The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy - Dearly Beloathed 1
A slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a scholarly healer and a gentleman assassin, set in an exquisite fantasy world, perfect for fans of The Love Hypothesis and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.
Osric Mordaunt, member of the Fyren Order of assassins, is in dire need of healing. Naturally - such is the grim comedy of fate - the only healer who can help is Aurienne Fairhrim, preeminent scientist, bastion of moral good, and member of an enemy Order.
Aurienne is desperate for funding to heal the sick - so desperate that, when Osric bribes her to help him, she accepts, even if she detests him and everything he stands for.
A forced collaboration ensues: the brilliant Woman in STEM is coerced into working with the PhD in Murders, much to Aurienne's disgust. As Osric and Aurienne work together to heal his illness and investigate the mysterious reoccurrence of a deadly pox, they find themselves ardently denying their attraction, which only fuels the heat between them.
Tropes include:
Enemies-to-lovers
High interaction slow burn
Hypercompetent idiots
He falls first and harder
Slaughter as a love language
Hopeless Necromantic - The Catseye Chronicles 1
SHE RAISES HELL. HE RAISES THE DEAD. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
When new recruit Helspira takes on the doomed mission that no other soldier wants, life - and death - start to get a little complicated.
Helspira must play escort to Sikras - a frustratingly handsome necromancer with the power to raise the dead - as he attempts a mission that he's failed twice before; stopping an undead army at the edges of the kingdom.
No-one thinks he will succeed. Not even Sikras. But the more time the two spend together, the more they find they can imagine a brighter future. As secrets come out and the two grow closer - and Sikras's lively skeleton companion Benjamin tries desperately not to be a third wheel - will Sikras' and Helspira's changing feelings for each other be enough to overcome the growing danger?
RAISE A GLASS. RAISE THE DEAD. JUST DON'T RAISE YOUR HOPES.
Necromantasy is the new romantasy in Hopeless Necromantic, a debut romantic fantasy for fans of Gideon the Ninth, The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy, Long Live Evil or Assistant to the Villain.

THEY CAME TO TAKE HER BROTHER... INSTEAD THEY MET HER SCYTHE
Every year the gods demand boys for the mines. When Leina slaughters the soldiers who come for her brother, she expects death.
Instead, she's claimed by a goddess and thrown into a world of winged warhorses, warring gods, cursed monsters - and Ryot, the god-sworn warrior ordered to keep her in line.
Bound by duty, shaped by discipline, Ryot is everything she's not. But he sees the fire in her. The power. The danger.
Leina never asked to be chosen. And she's certainly not interested in saving the kingdom that enslaved her people.
But destiny has other plans... and the gods should fear what they've awakened.
The God and the Gumiho - Az isten és a Skarlát Róka - A sors fonala 1.
Két csipkelődő halhatatlan. Egy esély a világ megmentésére.
Kim Hani - az egykor Skarlát Róka néven ismert és rettegett gumiho - egy kávézóban dolgozik, és igyekszik elkerülni, hogy egy bizonyos vendég felbosszantsa.
Szokka - a csalárd isten, akit egy puccskísérlet miatt száműztek a mennyekből - démonokra vadászik, és nem hagy ki egy alkalmat sem, hogy egy bizonyos gumiho idegeire menjen.
Mikor a sötétség egyik démona megszökik az alvilágból, a Skarlát Róka pedig előbújik rejtekéből, Szokka esélyt kap a megváltásra: ha megöli mindkettőt, bűnei megbocsátást nyernek.
Bármire hajlandóak lennének, hogy túljárjanak egymás eszén... csak arra nem, hogy szerelembe essenek.

And, under cover of night, the two of them adopt secret identities and head out on missions across the city for their respective magical clans. Tia is the beautiful descendant of the Moon Goddess, and Harper is secretly Raven, the leader-in-waiting of the feared and villainous Foxes.
When each is tasked by their clan to kill the other, a deceitful game of cat-and-mouse begins. And Harper and Tia will start to understand that the concepts of right and wrong can be just as complicated – and dangerous – as falling in love.

She has no army. No power. And no name. But when two factions of gods are at war, only a NOBODY can save the world. . .
Don't miss out on the stunning DELUXE LIMITED EDITION while supplies last. This breathtaking collectible is only available on a limited first print run, a must-have for any book lover.
An epic quest fantasy adventure in which an indentured servant must free the goddess of peace and wisdom.
The goddess needs a nobody. The prince needs a miracle. Soli Graymind might be both.
Soli has spent most of her life being invisible-an indentured servant, a library mold-scrubber, the girl no one sees unless she's in the way. So, when the king's guards show up with swords drawn, she assumes it's a mistake.
It's not.
Moments later, she's standing in the throne room while the king tells her she's been chosen to retrieve a set of ancient keys-only the keys can save the goddess and stop the chaos beyond the palace walls. Because the world isn't waiting to be saved.
It's already burning.
And beside him stands Prince Kaelen: devastatingly beautiful, mercilessly cold, and certain Soli won't survive the hard journey ahead.
He's probably right.
But Soli's survived a lifetime of hard everything. She may be a nobody-no training, no real power, and no idea why she was chosen-but she refuses to be expendable. Even if the quest ahead is anything but simple. When assassins, monsters, and impossible choices fracture the fragile alliance slowly building with the Prince, Soli realizes she can't hide in the shadows anymore.
Because, for the first time in her life, she has something to lose…
A high-stakes romantasy filled with slow-burn romance, found family, and a heroine who never expected to be anyone's first choice.
Tropes:
Bodyguard/protector
Found family

The Heart of the Nhaga - Bird That Drinks Tears 1
Discover the bestselling epic fantasy series from the grandmaster of Korean SFF, available for the first time in English by award-winning translator Anton Hur. A can't-miss for readers of the great classics and giants of fantasy, from J.R.R Tolkien to Ursula K. Le Guin
Three handles one.
The world is divided by the Line of Limit. To the north are the Tokkebifire people able to manipulate flames as both weapons and illusions; Rekon - giant birdmen with immense strength and warrior acumen; and the humans - as divided as the other races are unified. To the south are the Nhaga - a reptilian people who relinquish their hearts for immortality. For centuries, the races didn't cross that line, but change is in the air. A Nhaga is being sent North…and a trio is being dispatched to make sure this agent from the South makes it out alive - one from each race.
But the illusion of a simple journey is quickly dispelled by the fact that the Tokkebi is merely a scholar, not an adventurer; the Rekon is deathly afraid of water; and the human hunts and eats Nhaga. And when the Nhaga they're supposed to be escorting out of the Kiboren forest is murdered, the one sent in his place turns out to very much have a heart - meaning he's quite vulnerable to the dangerous exodus.
The four must quickly forge an alliance and shed the distrust and prejudice that plagues them if they are to survive. And just as crucial, they must figure out what this mission is actually about, because unbeknownst to them, the very fate of the world might rest on this one Nhaga making it to the North intact.
A classic not to be missed, Heart of the Nhaga is epic fantasy at its best, translated into English for the first time ever by award-winning translator Anton Hur.

Under the Surface – A felszín alatt (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy világ, ahol a mágia nem kiváltság – hanem kötelezettség.
Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban.
Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene.
Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni.
És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt.
A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy.
A döntéseid formálnak azzá.

Meanwhile, in Lurella's duelling pit - The Iron Circuit - Fenne, a feared fighter, comes to the attention of one city ruler, who sees in her an opportunity . . .
As the Peace Pledge begins, Swan and Fenne are thrown together by a dark conspiracy - one that could forever alter not just their fate, but that of The Mistral.

The Moon Child
In early medieval Poland, Iwa has never known life beyond the forest. She is part of the Bison Grass Clan, a group of hunter gatherers who follow the herds through the forest. Yet there is something in her blood that sets her apart. Her mother was not of the clan – a woman who was born in the far-off lands of the Polish lords that lie beyond the forest. She died giving birth to Iwa and there have always been rumours surrounding her birth, of strange magic and pacts with the dark forces of the world. When warriors from the Polish lands invade, seeking to carve a kingdom in the forest, Iwa’s world collapses. But their ambition awakens something ancient – an old power that should have remained buried. Shadows lengthen, the dead stir, and a banished sorcerer calls from beyond the veil. To save the forest – and herself – Iwa must confront the truth of her lineage and the dark legacy it carries. Between the fall of the old world and the birth of the new, she must decide what she will become: protector, destroyer... or the spark that consumes everything.
