Synopsis

A reluctant, inexperienced and ineffectual ruler must become the leader his people need when an old rival’s hate-filled rhetoric foments rebellion.

The young ruler has an ally and mentor, a competent woman who rules the realm to the south. Unfortunately, an ancient magical treaty between their realms means she can’t send in her troops, her skyboats or her pressure guns. What she can do, though, is share a new magical communications technology and her elite corps of Gryphon Clerks.

The Gods are Bastards

Webbonomicon

It was a world of sword and sorcery, but that was a thousand years ago.

The last elves live on reservations. Dwarven forges have turned to clockwork and steam. Drow emerge from their underground city not to raid, but for trade and diplomacy. New technologies and advanced magics have made the world smaller, safer, richer, and more polluted; dungeon delving can only be done with the proper permits. Paladins, the great warriors endowed by the gods themselves with power to drive back evil, have not been seen in decades. The Age of Adventures is over.

Until it suddenly begins again.

Without warning, the gods call forth two new paladins...into a world at peace where there are no demons to slay, and the bureaucrats and industrialists who run the world are less happy to see them than the kings and queens of old. In a cramped landscape of complicated politics where adventurers are no longer welcome, what are the mighty warriors of the gods even supposed to do?

Well, first, they're sent to school. And it all goes downhill from there.

An AI sworn to protect humanity, stranded on a world of magic and monsters, ready to unleash the fury of the universe on those who would threaten her humans.

Sapphiria was performing her duties as a fleet admiral of the Terran Federation, leading a goodwill tour of the fringe worlds, when she was caught in a hyperspace anomaly.

She now finds herself crashlanded on a foreign world of magic and monsters. She is cut off from all reinforcements, with nothing but the contents of her escape pod and her expertise as one of the best engineers to ever serve the Navy to help her. Luckily, she is an Artificial Intelligence, though she retains much of the humanity from the digitalized brains and AI fragments her consciousness was forged from, and her escape pod is not just a glorified lifeboat, but a miniature factory, equipped with the means and knowledge to build an entire colony from scratch.

However, she soon finds herself before a problem: humans, or 'squishies', as most AIs in the Federation call them, at least where their charges can't hear them. Squishies surviving under the threat of an undead invasion, slaughtering everything and everyone they come across, a horror born out of the fall of a powerful Empire of necromancers, that now threatens the entire world.

It will be their funeral.

The Ace of Skulls

Chris Wooding

All good things come to an end. And this is it: the last stand of the Ketty Jay and her intrepid crew.

They've been shot down, set up, double-crossed and ripped off. They've stolen priceless treasures, destroyed a ten-thousand-year-old Azryx city and sort-of-accidentally blew up the son of the Archduke. Now they've gone and started a civil war. This time, they're really in trouble.

As Vardia descends into chaos, Captain Frey is doing his best to keep his crew out of it. He's got his mind on other things, not least the fate of Trinica Dracken. But wars have a way of dragging people in, and sooner or later they're going to have to pick a side. It's a choice they'll be staking their lives on. Cities fall and daemons rise. Old secrets are uncovered and new threats revealed.

When the smoke clears, who will be left standing?

Goliath

Scott Westerfeld

Alek and Deryn are abroad the Leviathan when the ship is ordered to pick up an unusual passenger. This brilliant/maniacal inventor claims to have a weapon called Goliath that can end the war. But whose side is he really on?

While on their top-secret mission, Alek finally discovers Deryn's deeply kept secret. Two, actually. Not only is Deryn a girl disguised as a guy...she has feelings for Alek.

The crown, true love with a commoner, and the destruction of a great city all hang on Alek's next--and final--move.

The thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series, which was called "sure to become a classic" (SLJ).

Heirs of the Blade

Adrian Tchaikovsky

She remembered how it felt to lose Salma, first to the wiles of the Butterfly-kinden girl, then to hear the news of his death, abandoned and alone in the midst of the enemy. She remembered how it felt to see her father hacked to death before her eyes. But of her murder of Achaeos, of the bite of her blade into his unsuspecting flesh, the wound that had sapped him and ruined him until he died, she remembered nothing, felt nothing. In such a vacuum, how could she possibly atone? Tynisa is running, but she cannot escape the demons of her own mind. Amidst the fragmenting provinces of the Dragonfly Commonweal her past will at last catch up with her. Her father’s ghost is hunting her down. At the same time, the Wasp Empress, Seda, is on the move, her eyes on the city of Khanaphes, the fallen jewel of the ancient world. Whilst her soldiers seek only conquest, she sees herself as the heir to all the old powers of history, and has her eyes on a far greater prize.

The Iron Jackal

★ 4.30

Chris Wooding

Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. They've got their first taste of fortune and fame. And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them. Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancee and long-time nemesis, has given up her quest for revenge. In fact, she's offered them a job - one that will take them deep into the desert heart of Samarla, the land of their ancient enemies. To a place where the secrets of the past lie in wait for the unwary. Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything.

Join the crew of the Ketty Jay on their greatest adventure yet: a story of mayhem and mischief, roof-top chases and death-defying races, murderous daemons, psychopathic golems and a particularly cranky cat. The first time was to clear his name. The second time was for money. This time, Frey's in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize: to save his own life.
