Oto nastał czas najwyższej próby, a brzemię odpowiedzialności każdy musi unieść sam.

Tym, kto stoi pomiędzy królową a buntem magów, który wybuchnie lada chwila, jest Falko. Falko- słabeusz w świecie wojowników, umierający na tajemniczą chorobę syn szaleńca i zdrajcy. Nie tak wyglądają bohaterowie.

A jednak królowa ma świadomość, że czas na wahania się kończy. Oto nadchodzi moment, gdy będzie musiała ulec i poświęcić osobiste szczęście dla dobra poddanych.

Magowie bitewni robią, co mogą by wzmocnić armię w walce z siłami ciemności. Do walki dołączają jednak kolejne piekielne kreatury, jeszcze silniejsze i potężniejsze. Zło zatruwa serca przerażeniem, kolejni ludzie zasilają szeregi Opętanych.

The world is falling to the burning shadow of the Possessed and only the power of a battle mage can save it. But the ancient bond with dragonkind is failing. Of those that answer a summoning too many are black. Black dragons are the enemy of humankind. Black dragons are mad.

Falco Dante is a weakling in a world of warriors, but worse than this, he is the son of a madman. Driven by grief, Falco makes a decision that will drive him to the brink of despair. As he tries to come to terms with his actions Falco follows his friends to the Academy of War, an elite training school dedicated to martial excellence. But while his friends make progress he struggles to overcome his doubts and insecurity. Even Queen Catherine of Wrath has her doubts about Falco’s training.

While the Queen tries to unite the Kingdoms against the Possessed, Falco struggles to overcome his fears. Will he unlock the power trapped inside of him or will he succumb to madness and murder like his father?

New Paperback Edition of M. A. Wardell’s MISTLETOE AND MISHIGAS Out Now in North America!

Posted on Tuesday, September 16th, 2025

Today, M. A. Wardell‘s MISTLETOE AND MISHIGAS is available in a new paperback edition! Published by Forever, here’s the synopsis…

Now with bonuses! A new epilogue and artwork of the characters.

This spicy and swoony romance follows two men with opposite personalities as they pretend to date during the holiday season—from an author whose “stories are sweetness and spice wrapped into a big, warm hug” (Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper).

Sheldon Soleskin should be having a horrible day. Even though he’s been unexpectedly transferred to a new school right before the holidays, has only one day to set up his new classroom, and just discovered his twin sister’s been hiding an invitation to his ex-boyfriend’s Christmas Eve wedding, he’s still ready to take on the world with a smile on his face and a skip in his step.

Theo Berenson just wants to be left alone to his custodial duties. But when the chipper new first-grade teacher needs help moving furniture the Sunday after Thanksgiving, he’s forced to do something he detests… help. To make matters worse, Theo’s overbearing parents are coming for Hanukah in a few weeks, and he’s told them he has a boyfriend. Except he doesn’t. Because who would want to date an oaf like Theo?

Working together, these opposites discover they might be able to help each other out. Agreeing to be each other’s dates, they become friends as they practice for their upcoming events. But when all the rehearsing starts feeling a little too real, and both men’s pasts come roaring back to haunt them, will they be able to pull off the ultimate holiday masquerade?

The second book in the author’s Teachers in Love series, it is also available in eBook. The first and third books in the series — TEACHER OF THE YEAR and NAPKINS AND OTHER DISTRACTIONS — are also available in eBook now (book one also available in paperback).

The UK paperback edition of MISTLETOE AND MISHIGAS is out on Thursday, to be published by Penguin!

Lavie Tidhar’s GOLGOTHA Out Now!

Posted on Thursday, September 11th, 2025

GOLGOTHA, the conclusion to the acclaimed Maror trilogy by Lavie Tidhar, is out now! Published by Apollo/Head of Zeus, here’s the synopsis…

Two men, decades apart, are ensnared in the deadly search for a fabled treasure in the conclusion to Lavie Tidhar’s epic and audacious Maror Trilogy.

1882, Jerusalem
The foreigner. A man with no name, twin guns at his hips, a wide-brimmed hat on his head. A European exile in the backwaters of Ottoman Palestine, The foreigner is a bounty hunter in pursuit of a thief.

1948, Haifa
Burton. A man with one name, a detective inspector in the crumpled khaki uniform of the Palestine Police Force’s CID. With just seven days before the British Mandate ends, he must find a murderer and a missing aristocrat, as order collapses around him.

Both men are outsiders in a land that is a palimpsest of ruins and loyalties, legacy of a history written in blood on a landscape that remembers everything. Both men will treat with bandits and mystics, dreamers and killers as they pursue their quarry; both will be ensnared in a lethal search for the fabled treasures of the Second Temple, long-lost amid the rise and fall of peoples, nations and empires. And both will be haunted by their dreams: burning red skies, a mountain of skulls, echoes of a vision from the dawn of humanity.

Before Jerusalem, before Jericho, there has always been Golgotha.

‘A searing portrait of history as both knife and the longing heart it seeks. Tidhar’s best.’ — Junot Díaz

‘The feel and senses of this complicated world come vividly to life, and you can almost smell the hot sand and sun-baked goats. Twists and turns abound, and the body count mounts up – as it continues to do today unfortunately in this contested place. Perhaps the treasure we seek should be the ability to co-exist together even when we are from different peoples, tribes, religions, etc., and this could be seen as one of the key themes of the novel.’ — Historical Novels Society Magazine

The first two novels in the trilogy — MAROR and ADAMA — are out now, also published by Apollo/Head of Zeus.

Uvijek duhovit, šarmantno i inteligentno zbrkan, ovo je roman o beskonaćnim putovanjima kroz vrijeme koji ćete, irnično, pročitati brzo, bez skretanja, stranputica i kočenja.

Cesta je nezamislivo duga, seže u vrijeme prije vremena a ide toliko daleko u budućnost da su sve zvijezde mrtve i svi planeti ledeni. Cesta se račva i vijuga i vodi do alternativnih prošlosti ili čak budućnosti. Nistko se ne sjeća tko ju je stvorio ili zašto. Oni koji je nađu su rijetki, a oni koji znaju njome suvereno navigirati još rjeđi…

ROADMARKS is published in the UK by Gollancz, as part of their SF Masterworks series. Here’s the synopsis…

The Road can go Anywhere.

The Road can go Anywhen.

Almost.

Red Dorakeen has been on the Road for a very long time. For all of time, in fact. It stretches infinitely into the future and past, with exits that take him wherever, or whenever, he wants to go.

But he can’t find the place he wants to be.

He’s not the only one who can travel the Road, and as people join and leave, they can alter the past, or the future, to suit their whims. Exits close off, become overgrown, and working out what to change back to return to old timelines could take, well . . . forever.

Fortunately, Red has all the time he could ever need.

Roadmarks is a fantastically mind-bending novel from one of SFF’s most influential authors. It weaves together linear and non-linear narratives in a compelling tale full of mystery and magic.

But the royal family is torn apart by jealousies and suspicion; the disappearance of the Patriarch Oberon has intensified the internal conflict by leaving the throne apparently up for grabs.

In a hospital on the Shadow Earth, a young man is recovering from a freak car accident; amnesia has robbed him of all his memory, even the fact that he is Corwin, Crown Prince of Amber, rightful heir to the throne – and he is in deadly peril…

The five books, Nine Princes in Amber, The Guns of Avalon, Sign of the Unicorn, The Hand of Oberon and The Courts of Chaos, together make up The Chronicles of Amber, Roger Zelazny’s finest work of fantasy and an undisputed classic of the genre.

Roger Zelazny’s SENHOR DA LUZ Out Now in Brazil!

Posted on Tuesday, August 19th, 2025

Roger Zelazny‘s classic science fiction novel LORD OF LIGHT is now available in Brazil! Published by Aleph as SENHOR DA LUZ, it was translated by Ana Ban. Here’s the synopsis…

Quando um pequeno grupo passa a deter o uso de um maquinário que reencarna indivíduos com habilidades sobre-humanas, funda-se um Paraíso para poucos. Essas entidades determinam quem permanece dentro de seus muros intransponíveis, quem é digno de reencarnação e quem tem acesso às tentações dessa alta tecnologia. Uma nova era chega para ficar.

Apesar da força desses deuses — eles controlam o fogo, a noite, a própria morte —, seu regime milenar se vê ameaçado pelo surgimento de um opositor chamado por muitos nomes. Para esse revolucionário levar o conhecimento à humanidade, confrontos devem ser travados e alianças precisam ser firmadas. Mas seria um só homem capaz de dar início à batalha cósmica que pode levar à queda dos céus?

Escrito por um dos grandes nomes da ficção científica e da fantasia, com sua prosa ao mesmo tempo poética e vertiginosa, Senhor da Luz reúne em sua trama a filosofia das culturas hindu e budista e o elemento especulativo inovador dos clássicos do sci-fi.

The striking cover is by Giovanna Cianelli.

LORD OF LIGHT is published in the UK by Gollancz, as part of their SF Masterworks series. It won the 1968 Hugo Award for best Novel. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

Imagine a distant world where gods walk as men, but wield vast and hidden powers. Here they have made the stage on which they build a subtle pattern of alliance, love, and deadly enmity. Are they truly immortal? Who are these gods who rule the destiny of a teeming world?

Their names include Brahma, Kali, Krishna and also he who was called Buddha, the Lord of Light, but who now prefers to be known simply as Sam. The gradual unfolding of the story – how the colonization of another planet became a re-enactment of Eastern mythology – is one of the great imaginative feats of modern science fiction.
