The Royal Guard is rebuffed in their attempt to rescue her, and to replace the wounded, a young farmhand named Yuva is called up into service. With only a potlid for a shield and a strong back to carry supplies, Yuva joins the soldiers on the perilous quest to climb the tower and rescue the princess. But the Dragon Tower houses untold horrors...!

Hailed by STEPHEN KING as 'a brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror'. Now a chilling 10-part TV series from RIDLEY SCOTT on BBC2 and iPlayer The most advanced scientific enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition in search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of triumph. But for almost two years his ships HMS Terror and Erebus have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are running low. Scurvy, starvation and even madness beging to take their toll. And yet the real threat isn't from the constantly shifting, alien landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or being crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean.

At once nowhere and everywhere, this terror has become the expedition's nemesis . . . Readers are gripped by The Terror: ***** 'One of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down!' ***** 'A tremendous weighty achievement in atmosphere and storytelling.' ***** 'So beautifully written and well researched. I can't praise this book highly enough.'

"Pirateaba is an amazing world builder, and as a writer, I am in awe of their story constructing skills....The Wandering Inn is a favorite... You won't find anything else like it." - Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl In this second volume of The Wandering Inn, Book One of the massive epic fantasy world that has become a LitRPG sensation, new characters take center stage as the Innverse expands beyond Erin Solstice's inn. Even as Erin finds companions out of goblins, necromancers, drakes, and gnolls, Ryoka Griffin wants no part in making friends. She just wants to run. Luckily, there's a guild that allows her to do just that, and Ryoka soon finds herself delivering messages and packages across the city. But she's an oddity to the other runners, and not just because she doesn't wear shoes. No, there's something about her that just doesn't fit in...and it's probably the fact that she's from the real world, and not the fantasy one she's been sucked into. Like Erin, she has found herself pulled into a fantasy realm she doesn't understand. And like Erin, she wants to learn more...but wants to do it her own way. Yet even she is learning she can't do everything alone, and after a dangerous delivery introduces her to the adventuring group The Horns of Hammerad-and other deliveries bring her into the scope of a powerful Lady and a mysterious magic-user-her new world will never be the same. Darkness is growing in the Innverse, with new players and monsters being added to the chessboard, and both Erin and Ryoka are finding out that as amazing magic can be, it's also incredibly deadly.

“David Lynch meets Agatha Christie in this razor-sharp, nightmare of a thriller.” —Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author For fans of Stuart Turton and Blake Crouch, a mind-bending locked-room thriller about eight strangers trapped in a remote Texas motel as they race against time to save their lives—from the acclaimed author of the “compelling; thought-provoking, page-turning” (Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World) No Road Home. In the frigid west Texas desert, weary travelers converge at a lonely roadside motel nestled at the foot of a massive mountain. Ethan and Hunter have left behind a corpse and a horrific act of violence. Kyla and Fernanda are fleeing for the border. Stanley and his granddaughter are returning from Mexico with a mysterious man in hot pursuit. All of them are on the run from something. All of them are hiding something. And somehow, they’re all connected to the motel’s other guest, an enigmatic woman named Sarah Powers. Within hours, Sarah is dead. The strange twins who run the Brake Inn Motel offer the guests an ultimatum: uncover the killer by midnight—or die when the protective lights around the motel go out. Because something very old and very dangerous lurks in this corner of the desert. And it’s hungry. As time ticks away, alliances fracture, secrets unravel, and the guests will not only have to confront the violence of the past but also face the darkness within themselves. A masterful blend of psychological tension, supernatural horror, and layered storytelling, The Midnight Knock “takes you on an eerie journey through the wide open and desolate landscape of Texas where everyone is a suspect. All the thrills of an escape room, all the chills of a Stephen King novel. You will be left guessing until the very last page” (Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Tsutomu Nihei, master of the mysterious architectural monolith, brings his genius to bear on the fantasy genre for the first time. Having established himself with hit series like Blame! and Knights of Sidonia, he has now created a gritty, dark fantasy world and populated it with evil sorcerors and unique undead horrors. The ingenuous farmboy Yuva must accompany a contingent of knights through the increasingly dangerous floors of massive tower on the way to rescue the princess, Nihei bringing his unique sensibility to bear on a crumbling world of malformed creatures, wounded soldiers, and labyrinthine darkness. An evil necromancer slays the king and carries off his daughter, secreting her in the legendary Dragon Tower. To save the princess, her steadfast Royal Guard assays the stronghold, but the way is blocked by powerful eldritch creatures… So, to supplement their forces in the face of mounting casualties, they press ordinary folks from the surrounding villages into service—including Yuva, a sturdy young farmboy with a strong back but no experience in battle, and only a battered old helm and wooden shield to protect him. Master of science fiction Tsutomu Nihei (Blame!, Knights of Sidonia) turns his unique storytelling voice and architectural eye to fantasy for the first time, offering a dark, gritty tale of swords and sorcery, bravery and adventure, great heroes and ultimate evil.  Gird your loins, heft your blade, and enter the Dragon Tower.

The fourth book in the Of Flesh & Bone series from New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods, where the heated Fae romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses meets The Witcher. Once, I bartered my soul for my mate. Offering Mab my bound allegiance was the only way to save Caldris's life-the only bargain I could make to keep us both from the Void. After cruelly murdering the King of Summer, her own brother, Mab became unhinged and there was no telling what she would do. Caldris is safe for now because of my sacrifice, but at a cost. Queen Mab only wants one thing from me. Then, I was banished to Tartarus, from where few ever return. Mab has demanded a tribute-a snake from the crown of Medusa. Navigating through the horrors of Tartarus, I must pass the Trials of the Five Rivers to prove my worth to the primordials and steal the unthinkable. All without my magic. Now, I must embrace my darkness, my past. To survive, I must discover who I am-who I'm fated to be. Human, and Fae, and something... other. Embracing all the sides of magic, light and dark, is the only way to escape Tartarus and get back to Caldris. I will save him, the Fae, and the humans from Mab. Even if it kills me.
