The Killing Spell
An urban fantasy debut of murder, mystery, and language magic for fans of Rebecca Roanhorse and RF Kuang. Kea Petrova is dealing with more than her fair share of trouble. At just twenty-five years old, she’s the youngest of the five Hawaiian clan leaders living on the Homestead in outer Los Angeles, following catastrophic flooding that destroyed their islands. Kea struggles to keep her small clan afloat, scraping rent together through odd jobs and selling the Hawaiian-language spells she crafts. Life is difficult enough, but the murder of Angelo Reyes—a prominent LA activist—turns her world upside-down. Angelo was killed by a death spell—something that can only be created in Hawaiian—so Kea quickly becomes the prime suspect, known for her unique spellwork. To clear her name, she must unravel the mystery behind Angelo’s murder and confront LA’s most powerful players, all while under the supervision of a dangerously attractive guard. The clock is ticking—can Kea save herself, her clan, and the Homestead before it’s too late?

Sleeper Straddle
An original collection of interwoven short stories set in the Wild Cards universe, created by the globally bestselling author of A Game of Thrones 'A complex, intricately imagined universe' Telegraph An alien virus ravages the world, with effects as random as a hand of cards. Those infected either draw the black queen and die, draw an ace and receive superpowers, or draw the joker and are bizarrely mutated. Croyd Crenson is the Wild Cards' greatest failure, and its greatest success. Dubbed 'The Sleeper', he undergoes sporadic hibernations, after each one awakening with a new appearance and powers. Till now he's awoken in a singular body: but this time he finds himself split into six different incarnations, each with a unique look and ability. Recognizing this for the disaster that it is, one of the incarnations tasks Tesla – a joker with ace powers – to gather the remaining five versions before sleep claims them again and leaves Croyd permanently fractured. What follows is a journey through Croyd's long and colourful life, through the lens of some who have encountered the world's most unusual Wild Carder. And as Tesla will have to work fast, because not every Croyd is as amiable as the first incarnation, and they'll do whatever it takes to survive… Featuring stories from: Christopher Rowe, Carrie Vaughn, Cherie Priest, William F. Wu, Walter Jon Williams, Stephen Leigh, Mary Anne Mohanraj, and Max Gladstone.

Strange voices echo down the halls, ghosts roam the bookshelves, and those who stepped foot in the library have either emerged insane or were driven to their own demise.

Filled with all the yearning of a rivals-to-lovers romance, the intrigue and fear of a dark academia, and the wonder and discovery of an epic fantasy, Honour & Heresy is ultimately a story of self-discovery amidst the chaos of war and a long, cold winter.

The Scramble for America
'Shows how a scrappy band of 13 colonies fought and bought its way to superpower size' THE TIMES For seven years after the Declaration of Independence the United States had no internationally recognized boundaries and no defined sovereign territory. It was more an idea than a country. Then in 1783 the United States began to expand at a staggering rate, adding territory equivalent to the landmass of modern Bulgaria each year, every year, for eighty-four years. By 1867— less than a century after its founding—the United States laid claim to some 3.6 million square miles of land on the North American continent. How did it happen? In The Scramble for America, historian Clement Knox uncovers the history of these epic years. It is the story of how the United States exploded out of its original confines on the Eastern seaboard, breaching the Appalachians, the Great Plains, the Rockies and extending its reach to the Rio Grande, the Florida Keys, and the Bering Strait, eventually straddling two oceans and commanding some of the most valuable lands on the planet. In vivid prose he recounts how a cast of settlers, prospectors, and soldiers, hungry for land, motivated by visions of gold, and inspired by the rhetoric of national greatness, spread out across the North American continent, making history as they advanced and bringing violence and dispossession in their wake. The principal currents of American history are all interwoven with these years of conquest: the origins of the revolution, the tragedy of the Native Americans, the spread of slavery, and the crisis of the union that culminated in the Civil War. Those turbulent years of rampaging continental expansion in the nineteenth century teed up the United States for global supremacy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The creation of the continental United States was one of the great events in modern history and continues to shape our world. Published to mark the 250th anniversary of American Independence, this book offers a retelling of its national history like no other.

Throughout, fears and tensions are paired seamlessly with moments of great tenderness, wit and revelation: these poems always offer a way out.The House of Broken Things is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.
