"Anyone who likes a good ghost story is going to enjoy The Sorrows.
Anyone who likes a ghost story where there's no doubt the ghosts
are undoubtedly real will love this novel." - New York Journal of
Books The Sorrows, an island off the coast of northern California,

murders in 1925. But its owner needs money, so he allows film
composers Ben and Eddie and a couple of their female friends to
stay a month in Castle Blackwood. Eddie is certain a haunted castle
is just the setting Ben needs to find inspiration for a horror
film. But what they find is more horrific than any movie. Something
is waiting for them in the castle. A malevolent being has been
trapped for nearly a century. And he's ready to feed. FLAME TREE
PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing.

and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original
voices.
Return to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s darkly passionate Guild Hunter world, where human-turned-angel Elena Deveraux, consort to Archangel Raphael, is thrust center stage into an eons-old prophecy…
Midnight and dawn, Elena’s wings are unique among angelkind—and now they are failing. The first mortal to be turned into an immortal in angelic memory, she’s regressing. Becoming more and more human. Easier to hurt. Easier to kill.
Elena and Raphael must unearth the reason for the regression before Elena falls out of the sky. Yet even as they fight a furious battle for Elena’s very survival, violent forces are gathering across the world. In China, the Archangel Favashi is showing the first signs of madness. In New York, a mysterious sinkhole filled with lava swallows a man whole. In Africa, torrential monsoon rains flood rolling deserts. And in Elena’s mind whispers a haunting voice that isn’t her own.
This time, survival may not be possible…not even for the consort of an archangel.
Discover this spellbinding debut from S.A. Chakraborty. `An
extravagant feast of a book - spicy and bloody, dizzyingly magical,
and still, somehow, utterly believable' Laini Taylor, Sunday Times
and New York Times bestselling author Among the bustling markets of
eighteenth century Cairo, the city's outcasts eke out a living
swindling rich Ottoman nobles and foreign invaders alike. But
alongside this new world the old stories linger. Tales of djinn and
spirits. Of cities hidden among the swirling sands of the desert,
full of enchantment, desire and riches. Where magic pours down
every street, hanging in the air like dust. Many wish their lives
could be filled with such wonder, but not Nahri. She knows the
trades she uses to get by are just tricks and sleights of hand:
there's nothing magical about them. She only wishes to one day
leave Cairo, but as the saying goes... Be careful what you wish
for.
The necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach - reapers of the
souls of the living, devourers of hope and modest personifications
of evil - have a lot to answer for And answer they will. But first
they must lie, murder and cheat their way through three more
escapades in some of the more deprived fringes and impoverished
communities of the Malazan Empire. Much to the shame of their
long-suffering general factotum, Emancipoor Reese . . . Here then -
for readers' delectation and entertainment - are those escapades,
namely the novellas The Crack'd Pot Trail, The Wurms of Blearmouth
and The Fiends of Nightmaria . . .
A collection of novellas and stories from one of the most
critically acclaimed authors in the fantasy genre, Robin Hobb.
Including work written under her pseudonym, Megan Lindholm. Long
before the time of Chivalry Farseer, there was another indiscreet
member of the royal line. Princess Caution Farseer, in defiance of
her name, was headstrong and willful, destined to fall dangerously
in love where she ought not. The child she bore, a Witted boy known
as the Piebald Prince, rose to favour despite his questionable
bloodlines. But the dukes of the Six Duchies backed Canny Farseer
for the throne. And so both young men competed for power... But
this was not their only struggle: for they both fell in love with
the same lady. Such rivalry could end only in bloodshed... A tale
of love and secrets, magic and manipulation, heartbreak and murder
most foul: only a true-tongued minstrel can reveal the real story
of the Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince.

The new series from the bestselling creator of Drizzt Do'Urden
continues! The winds of change are blowing upon Fireach Speur.
Aoelyn risked her life to save the trader Talmadge and it cost her
everything that is dear to her, but Talmadge survived and can't
forget the amazing woman who killed a god. Little do they realize,
war is coming to the mountain. Far to the west, a fallen empire
stirs. One that sees a solar eclipse as a call to war. Their empire
once dominated the known world and they want it back.
Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original
Mistborn trilogy. As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books
Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of
Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands
of Mourning. Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the
characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original
trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing
process at best. In short, this isn't the place to start your
journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy - but it
has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember
the characters and the general plot of the books). Saying anything
more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story's
existence is, in a way, a spoiler. There's always another secret.
Brogan McTyre started a war with the gods, and he's going to end
it. Raging gods have laid waste to the Five Kingdoms. Only Torema
remains, swollen with millions of refugees. Their last hope lies in
fleeing by sea, but as storms tear at the coast, even King Opar
can't muster enough ships for them all. Brogan and his warriors
must fight the He-Kisshi to reach the Gateway, the sole portal for
gods to enter the mortal world - and the only place where they can
be killed. But the forces of creation have been unleashed, and
they'll destroy the world to reshape it.File Under: Fantasy [

Published for the very first time in its own volume, Tolkien's
remarkable tale about a painter whose obsession with detail
prevents him from finishing his great work. Niggle is a painter.
Not a very successful one, partly because he has so many other
things to do. For some time he has been obsessed with one
particular canvas - a curious picture of a tree with a vast
landscape stretching out behind it. The painting keeps getting
bigger and bigger, but Niggle has a journey to make. In 1939
Tolkien was despairing of ever bringing his great work The Lord of
the Rings to a conclusion. One morning he woke up with the story
Leaf by Niggle complete in his mind and wrote it down. This
poignant story, about an artist on a curious journey, is often seen
as an allegory of the writer's own creative process and life.
Published to coincide with a new touring stage production of the
story, this is the first time the story has been published in its
own volume, enabling readers to savour one of Tolkien's most
elegant, haunting and least-known short stories.
Rathraq -- along with Bobby, Timah, Del, and Cogan - goes on a
journey to finally recover his immortal heart, but finds something
else. In fact, he finds EVERYTHING else! Also, Bobby LaRosa may be
reaching his breaking point. Another twist for the Rumble team, as
the past becomes the future. Collects RUMBLE #6-10
This special collector's edition features all 12 parts of the
series bound in three volumes. Each book includes a silk ribbon
marker and is quarter-bound in black, with grey boards stamped in
gold foil, and the set is presented in a matching black slipcase.
J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary
creation, exemplified in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The
Silmarillion. What is less well known, however, is that he also
produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands
upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which
gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the
evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. It was
to this enormous task of literary construction that his Tolkien's
youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to
produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve
books, The History of Middle-earth. This very special collector's
edition brings together all twelve books into three hardback
volumes - over 5,000 pages of fascinating Tolkien material - and
places them in one matching box.

Aranthur is a student. He showed a little magical talent, is
studying at the local academy, and is nothing particularly special.
Others are smarter. Others are more talented. Others are quicker to
pick up techniques. But none of them are with him when he breaks
his journey home for the holidays in an inn. None of them step in
to help when a young woman is thrown off a passing stage coach into
the deep snow at the side of the road. And none of them are drawn
into a fight to protect her. One of the others might have realised
she was manipulating him all along . . . A powerful story about
beginnings, coming of age, and the way choosing to take one step
towards violence can lead to a slippery and dangerous slope, this
is an accomplished fantasy series driven by strong characters and
fast-paced action. 'A stirring, gritty and at times quite brutal
epic fantasy' Tor.com 'This series promises to be the standout epic
fantasy for the ages' Fantasy Book Critic
