The Providence of Fire
Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne: Book Two
Brian Staveley
Book two in a fast-moving epic trilogy of
betrayal, conspiracy and empire
The Empire’s ruling family must be vigilant, as the
conspiracy against them deepens. Having
discovered her father’s assassin, Adare flees the Dawn
Palace in search of allies. But few trust her, until she seems
marked by the people’s goddess in an ordeal of flame.
As Adare struggles to unite Annur, unrest breeds rival
armies – then barbarian hordes threaten to invade. And
unknown to Adare, her brother Valyn has fallen in with
forces mustering at the empire’s borders. The terrible
choices facing each of them could make war between
them inevitable.
Fighting his own battles is their brother Kaden, rightful
heir to the throne, who has infiltrated the Annurian capital
with two strange companions. While imperial forces
prepare to defend a far distant front, Kaden’s actions
could save the empire, or destroy it.
After more than a decade teaching history, religion and
philosophy, Brian Staveley decided to write books. He
now lives in southern Vermont, where he divides his time
between fathering, writing, husbanding, splitting wood,
skiing and exploring old trails. To his family’s dismay, he
also sometimes tries to play the banjo.

The Invisible Library
Genevieve Cogman
The first instalment of an adventure
featuring stolen books, secret agents and
forbidden societies – think Doctor Who
with librarian spies!
The redoubtable Irene is a spy for the secretive Library.
And along with her enigmatic assistant Kai, she’s posted
to an alternative London. Their mission: to retrieve
a dangerous book. But when they arrive, it’s already
been stolen. And London’s underground factions seem
prepared to fight to the death to find her book.
Adding to the jeopardy, this world is also chaos-infested –
so the laws of nature have been bent to allow supernatural
creatures and unpredictable magic. As Irene juggles a
heady mix of danger and clues, she finds out her assistant
is hiding secrets of his own.
While she’s up to her eyebrows in thieves and murderers,
the stakes rise. For this assignment could endanger the
Library and the nature of reality itself.

Holmes at an early age, and never looked back. She has a

The Kanin Chronicles: Book One
Amanda Hocking
Hocking returns to the world of her
internationally bestselling Trylle books
with a new heroine, a new page-turning
adventure and a new reason to love her
writing
Nineteen-year-old Bryn Aven is an outcast and yearns for a
world where she’s not only accepted, but loved. Especially
given her dawning feelings for her sort-of-boss, Ridley
Dresden. She’s prepared to fight to get those things, but
she’s a half-blood amongst the Kanin, so gaining status is
tough. Her almost-human people distrust strangers, living
in small communities to escape human attention – and
those from other tribes are almost as suspect.
Bryn is determined to join the elite King’s Guard, to
protect the Kanin royal family. Surely then she’ll find
acceptance? However, her plans are put on hold when
fallen hero Konstantin starts acting dangerously. He starts
by going after their changelings, deliberately hidden
within human families. And he escalates to kidnapping the
Skojare’s Queen. With her half-Skojare blood, Bryn is sent
in to help resolve the crisis, but she’s soon up against her
nemesis, Konstantin himself.

Denland and Lascanne have been allies for generations,

redcoats against the revolutionaries of Denland.

female soldiers. Emily has no choice but to join the ranks

the justice of Lascanne’s cause, Emily finds herself in a
position where her choices will make or destroy both her
own future and that of her nation.

fourth book in the Mystwalker series
Hedi Peacock’s to-do list is fraught with danger and

Hedi’s found her way from our world to the fae lands,
to save her brother’s soul. But can she remove the
sorcerer that’s possessed Lexi’s body? And saving her
brother is meaningless unless she destroys the mage’s
spellbook, a volume so dark that it threatens human and
fae realms. Hedi and her Alpha werewolf, Trowbridge,
have a straightforward plan. However, planning has never
quite worked for Hedi. Especially when Trowbridge risks
meeting his feral former pack – now out for blood.
Then, as Hedi nears her destination, she witnesses a scene
of inexpressible grief. It forces her to re-evaluate loyalty
and loss – but if Hedi changes her quest, can she still
achieve her dreams?

him – his family, friends, giants, fanatical warriors, an angel
and a talking crow, he begins the journey to Drassil, the
fabled fortress in the heart of Forn Forest. For in Drassil
lies the spear of Skald, one of the seven treasures, and
here it is prophesied that the Bright Star will stand against
the Black Sun.

Lucy Hounsom
Starborn is a tale of heroism and lost
powers, where one person’s choices will
shape the fate of thousands. This is for
readers who love Trudi Canavan, David
Eddings and Karen Miller
When Kyndra accidentally breaks a sacred artifact at
her village’s coming-of-age ceremony, she finds all
hands turned against her. Then, following too swiftly for
coincidence, a madness sweeps her home, along with
unnatural storms. An angry mob blame her and she fears
for her life – until two strangers, wielding a power not
seen for centuries, take her to safety. They flee to the
sunken citadel of Naris, but worse dangers will lie ahead,
amongst the underground city’s politicians, fanatics and
rebels. But in its subterranean chambers, she will find her
true path – facing betrayal and madness along the way.
Kyndra, like every reluctant hero, has a choice. She can
seize her destiny with both hands or walk away, perhaps
dooming a whole world to fall. Starborn is about a girl
coming of age, but it’s also about heroism. Its strengths,
burdens and – not least – its consequences.
