A Reaper's Creed. An Oath to keep. A Soul to save. Just as Xavier began his training as a Reaper Knight, he was flung off a cliff by an assassin sent to kill the Princess of Death, and vanished into the ocean. But Xavier’s NecroSeam somehow stitched itself to another living vessel, connecting his soul to someone who shared half his necromantic ability… His twin brother. The co-existing brothers secretly embark on a mission up to the sun-kissed Land Realm in search of Xavier’s missing body, only to discover this surface realm is on the brink of war. Before they can be normal again, the twin Reapers must battle colossal dragons and legions of soul-eating creatures controlled by an ancient demon queen. As Death Knights-in-training, they took an oath… and now there’s more than one soul to save.

Growing up in an idealistic home, Sparrow Fisher is sheltered and innocent. When she meets Ian Sterling, a musician who is rising in popularity, she instantly falls for his charm. They run into each other over the next few months and eventually begin an unconventional relationship. At different places in their lives, Sparrow is off to college in New York, and Ian is traveling the country with the band. When they see each other, all seems wonderful and lighthearted, but when they're apart, Sparrow is left to wonder if Ian really cares about her the way he says he does, or if she's just another pretty face to him. Once their relationship steadies, they're both happier than they've ever been, and it's hard to not get caught up in the magic they have together. Until something so devastating comes to light that threatens to shatter everything they've built with each other. True Love Story is a story about the real highs and lows that come with a relationship-happiness, pain, angst, and finding out if love really is enough.

One of NPR’s 50 Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of the Decade: A fifteenth-century palace mapmaker must hide his powers in the time of the Inquisition . . . Award-winning author G. Willow Wilson’s debut novel Alif the Unseen was an NPR and Washington Post Best Book of the Year and established her as a vital American Muslim literary voice. Now she delivers The Bird King, an epic journey set during the reign of the last sultan in the Iberian peninsula at the height of the Spanish Inquisition. Fatima is a concubine in the royal court of Granada, the last emirate of Muslim Spain. Her dearest friend, Hassan, the palace mapmaker and the one man who doesn’t leer at her with desire, has a secret—he can draw maps of places he’s never seen and bend the shape of reality. When representatives of the newly formed Spanish monarchy arrive to negotiate the sultan’s surrender, Fatima befriends one of the women, not realizing that she will see Hassan’s gift as sorcery and a threat to Christian Spanish rule. With their freedoms at stake, what will Fatima risk to save Hassan and escape the palace walls? As the two traverse Spain with the help of a clever jinn to find safety, The Bird King asks us to consider what love is and the price of freedom at a time when the West and the Muslim world were not yet separate. “Wilson has a deft hand with myth and with magic, and the kind of smart, honest writing mind that knits together and bridges cultures and people.” —Neil Gaiman, author of Norse Mythology “A triumph . . . one of the best fantasy writers working today.” —BookPage “A treasure-house of a novel, thrilling, tender, funny, and achingly gorgeous. I loved it.” —Lev Grossman, author of the Magicians trilogy

When you're a princess of the dead, your family has deadly secrets. ★★★★★ "If Tim Burton had written Lord of the Rings" - Vincent E.M. Thorn, 5-star review for Willow of Ashes, book 1 of the NecroSeam Chronicles Princess Willow thought training her magic would be her greatest challenge. She was very, very wrong. Even as a young girl, Princess Willow has struggled with her magical studies, especially in the arcane arts of raising the dead. Being the daughter of the Death King and a princess of the Dream kingdom, the world expects great things from her. But can she deliver? Although she's already surpassed her peers in the martial art of the scythe and is ready to join her father on her first demon hunt, she fears her ineptitude with magic will be her downfall if she doesn't improve, and quickly. But while she obsesses over her morbid studies, Willow starts to notice her mother is acting strange. Being a powerful oracle, her mother is always cryptic and mysterious, but she can't recall a time the queen was this shaken. While her father is focused on training Willow to be the next ruler of Grim, and Willow is becoming distracted by a charming new reaper boy in the kingdom, her mother has been scouring the shadows of the palace as if preparing for something ominous. If she's seen a vision of the future, Willow worries whatever is coming will have horrific consequences... and no amount of preparation will help.
