“Marske continues the beloved journey from the first book with an almost entirely new cast of characters and a new hot-and-steamy queer romance… [Marske] also coats the story with new magical insights and charming whimsy. Fans will be delighted.”–Booklist, starred review

“There’s murder, mystery, and magic on the high seas in Marske’s historical fantasy romp that follows on the heels of last year’s A MARVELLOUS LIGHT… Highly recommended for lovers of urban fantasy that’s mixed with wit, danger, and romance.”–Library Journal, starred review

LEGENDS & LATTES: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes by Travis Baldree
ISBN 9781250886088 | on sale 11/8/22

“An orc retires from adventuring to start a fantasy city’s very first coffee shop…. LEGENDS & LATTES is a novel, and shop, that will delight anyone who enjoys coffee-shop alternate universes, slow-burn romances, and the vindication of friendship.”–Booklist, starred review

WHITE HORSE by Erika T. Wurth
ISBN 9781250847652 | on sale 11/1/22

“Fans of supernatural thrillers and classic Stephen King will devour this tale of ghosts, heavy metal, and an urban Indigenous woman reckoning with the tragedies of the past… Wurth’s decadently blunt prose makes it easy to smell the smoke in the air and hear the heavy metal lyrics about memory and identity. This fresh take on the ghost story is sure to wow.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
