Gladiator meets Game of Thrones: a royal woman becomes a skilled warrior to destroy her murderous cousin, avenge her family, and save her kingdom in this first entry in a dazzling fantasy epic from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Elemental Assassin series—an enthralling tale that combines magic, murder, intrigue, adventure, and a hint of romance. In a realm where one's magical power determines one's worth, Lady Everleigh's lack of obvious ability relegates her to the shadows of the royal court of Bellona, a kingdom steeped in gladiator tradition. Seventeenth in line for the throne, Evie is nothing more than a ceremonial fixture, overlooked and mostly forgotten. But dark forces are at work inside the palace. When her cousin Vasilia, the crown princess, assassinates her mother the queen and takes the throne by force, Evie is also attacked, along with the rest of the royal family. Luckily for Evie, her secret immunity to magic helps her escape the massacre. Forced into hiding to survive, she falls in with a gladiator troupe. Though they use their talents to entertain and amuse the masses, the gladiators are actually highly trained warriors skilled in the art of war, especially Lucas Sullivan, a powerful magier with secrets of his own. Uncertain of her future—or if she even has one—Evie begins training with the troupe until she can decide her next move. But as the bloodthirsty Vasilia exerts her power, pushing Bellona to the brink of war, Evie's fate becomes clear: she must become a fearsome gladiator herself . . . and kill the queen.

Pearl dreamed of rising above the kitchens of Queen Seravine's court. She never expected her promotion to come with silken sheets, enchanted corridors, and a princess who refuses to play the Queen's games. Princess Blackberry is everything Pearl is not - refined, untouchable, and determined to stay pure in a palace built on pleasure. Tasked as her new handmaiden, Pearl expects dull days and lonely nights. Instead, she finds herself drawn to the princess's quiet beauty, her curious warmth, and the flashes of loneliness behind those violet eyes. In a kingdom where obedience and indulgence are measured in equal parts, temptation lurks behind every curtain. The Queen's feasts are decadent displays of flesh and power, where even a glance can become a command. When Pearl and Blackberry are summoned to one of Seravine's infamous dinners, one act of defiance will ignite a chain of forbidden desires neither woman can contain. But in Queen Seravine's world, every secret has a price. And when pleasure itself becomes a test of loyalty, the line between service and surrender blurs beyond recognition. Caught between the Queen's ruthless appetites and her own awakening heart, Pearl must decide what kind of woman she will be: a servant who obeys, or a lover who claims what she wants. The Princess's Handmaiden is the fifth book in the Court of Desire Chronicles , a fantasy erotica series set in Queen Seravine's decadent court where power is pleasure, and desire is the truest form of rebellion. Explicit, sensual, and dangerously indulgent—this is a tale of temptation, tenderness, and the cost of falling in love when the Queen is watching.

A fugitive queen strikes a bargain with her greatest enemy-who could resurrect her scorched kingdom or leave it in ashes forever-in this unmissable, slow-burn, Egyptian-inspired epic fantasy debut. "A remarkable, razor-sharp debut that cuts straight to the heart." -Chelsea Abdullah, author of The Stardust Thief Ten years ago, the kingdom of Jasad burned. Its magic was outlawed. Its royal family murdered. At least, that's what Sylvia wants people to believe. The Heir of Jasad escaped the massacre, and she intends to stay hidden, especially from the armies of Nizahl that continue to hunt her people. But a moment of anger changes everything. When Arin, the Nizahl Heir, tracks a group of Jasadi rebels to her village, Sylvia accidentally reveals her magic-and captures his attention. Now Sylvia's forced to make a deal with her greatest enemy: Help him hunt the rebels in exchange for her life. A deadly game begins. Sylvia can't let Arin discover her identity, even as hatred shifts into something more between the Heirs. And as the tides change around her, Sylvia will have to choose between the life she wants and the one she abandoned. The scorched kingdom is rising, and it needs a queen. "Will have you turning pages in a frenzy." -Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun "A romance that takes some popular fantasy tropes and turns them on their axis ... some truly amazing enemies-to-lovers action." - USA Today "Hashem weaves a complex tapestry of magic, danger, and violence set against some vividly atmospheric worldbuilding in her mesmerizing debut." - Publishers Weekly "The type of mythological and romantic tale you would bargain your last breath for... A book that coils you into its serpentine grasp." -Observer

Mary E. Pearson's Dance of Thieves is a new YA novel in the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles universe, in which a reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits in a battle that may cost them their lives-and their hearts. When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger. At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she learns that there is more to Jase than she thought. As unexpected events spiral out of their control, bringing them intimately together, they continue to play a cat and mouse game of false moves and motives in order to fulfill their own secret missions.

In a world of scorched kingdoms, forbidden magic, and cunning royals, a fugitive queen strikes a deadly bargain with her fallen kingdom's greatest enemy and soon finds herself embroiled in a political game that could resurrect her scorched kingdom or leave it in ashes forever in this stunning debut epic fantasy. At ten years old, the Heir of Jasad flees a massacre that takes her entire family. At fifteen, she buries her first body. At twenty, the clock is ticking on Sylvia's third attempt at home. Nizahl's armies have laid waste to Jasad and banned magic across the four remaining kingdoms. Fortunately, Sylvia's magic is as good at playing dead as she is. When the Nizahl Heir tracks a group of Jasadis to Sylvia's village, the quiet life she's crafted unravels. Calculating and cold, Arin's tactical brilliance is surpassed only by his hatred for magic. When a mistake exposes Sylvia's magic, Arin offers her an escape: compete as Nizahl's Champion in the Alcalah tournament and win immunity from persecution. In exchange, Arin will use her as bait to draw out the Jasadis he's hunting. To win the deadly Alcalah, Sylvia must work with Arin to free her trapped magic, all while staying a step ahead of his efforts to uncover her identity. But as the two grow closer, Sylvia realizes winning her freedom as Nizahl's Champion means destroying any chance of reuniting Jasad under her banner. The scorched kingdom is rising again, and Sylvia will have to choose between the life she's earned and the one she left behind. 'The Jasad Heir takes familiar fantasy plot elements-a destroyed kingdom; a hidden heir to the lost throne-and gives them a thrilling extra layer of political complexity. The slow burn between protagonist and antagonist will have you turning pages in a frenzy. Sara Hashem is a talent to watch!' Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun

When Fate nocks her arrow, no one can stop it from striking. A battle between the feye and the elves, a race against time. There can only be one winner-until a secret is unveiled. When Nyra Daville feels the last of her depleting powers wither away, she is left a powerless queen in the face of her subjects. The threat of the three empires of the feye realm's downfall forces the allying Crowns to pursue a quest in search for the enchanted stones that hold their magic. A journey of trust and betrayal, truths and untruths. Nyra can't risk losing control of herself with all that is at stake. Not at the risk of rekindling forgotten feelings. Not when Zyran Varadi is back in her life. It's a twisted and dangerous game they play, one that risks the undoing of both their kingdoms. And they may very well have ruined it all in the process of protecting the feye. Forbidden and deadly, everything she never should have allowed to happen. At the end of it all, one question remains: will Nyra be able to prove, to herself if no one else, that she is worthy of her title as queen? If you enjoyed A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Cruel Prince, or Six of Crows, then this book might find a spot on your TBR!

But fighting and winning a war will require trusting Cayden Veles, her partner in crime and now king to her queen; the man she both longs for and doubts, especially after opening her heart only to become a pawn in his game. Navigating the shifting allegiances amongst all the kingdoms of Ravaryn will require all their strategy and strength, with devastating and bloody attacks on one side and cutthroat diplomacy for alliances on the other. But Elowen and Cayden must find a way to stand strong within the power they've gained, or risk losing everything. Delving deeper into a vast and ever-changing world, Wrath of the Dragons will take you on a journey filled with epic battles and a tender, angsty love for the ages.
