Jude is now helpless and inconsolable as the banished mortal Queen of Faerie as a result of Cardan’s treachery. She bides her time with the intention of recovering all he took. Her deceitful twin sister Taryn, whose mortal life is in danger, represents opportunity.

If Jude wants to save her sister, she will have to take the risk of returning to the perilous Faerie Court and face her unresolved love for Cardan. But Elfhame is not the same as when she departed. War is on its way. Jude becomes caught up in the deadly dynamics of the fight when she infiltrates enemy territory. Additionally, she is forced to choose between her ambition and her humanity when a tremendous yet dormant curse is released, causing terror across the nation. The jaw-dropping conclusion to Holly Black’s #1 New York Times bestselling trilogy, The Folk of the Air, is eagerly awaited.

Nobody is aware of what he went through during the brutal civil war in his nation, and he wants to keep things that way. Nikolai now has to figure out how to replenish Ravka’s finances, form new alliances, and fend off a growing threat to the once-powerful Grisha Army as foes amass at his vulnerable frontiers.

However, a terrible power that resides in him intensifies day by day and poses a threat to everything he has accomplished. Nikolai will travel to Ravka’s locations where the most powerful magic still exists with the aid of a young monk and a legendary Grisha general in order to defeat the dreadful legacy he carries.

The graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are given their first assignments in the year 2380.

The girl he recently saved from interdimensional space, Aurora Jie-Lin O’Malley, is actually his biggest concern, not Ty’s team.

They don’t deserve to be our heroes. These are simply the ones we can locate. Nobody is scared.

#5 Congo

An expedition of eight American geologists is inexplicably and brutally murdered in a matter of minutes deep in the African rain forest, close to the fabled ruins of the Lost City of Zinj. A camp is destroyed, tents are torn apart, equipment is scattered alongside dead bodies in the mud, and all of this can be seen on a horrific video transmission being watched by Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, who is located 10,000 miles away. The only thing that is moving is a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.

Amy is a gorilla that primatologist Peter Elliot works with in San Francisco. She has an impressive vocabulary of 620 “signs,” which is the most any primate has ever acquired. Amy also enjoys finger painting. Recently, though, she has exhibited erratic behavior, and her drawings are remarkably accurate, matching the fragile pages of a Portuguese print from 1642—a picture of a long-lost city. Amy is part of a new expedition that is dispatched into the Congo, where they explore a secret world from which they may only be able to die a horrific end.

#6 Pirate Latitudes

In 1665, Jamaica is a ragged outpost of the English crown, a little colony resisting the great dominance of the Spanish empire. There are no niceties in Port Royal, the capital of Jamaica, a cutthroat town of pubs, grog shops, and bawdy houses where life can end abruptly from dysentery or a dagger in the back. However, if Captain Charles Hunter follows the island’s code, it is a life that can also bring him wealth. Gold in the possession of the Spanish is available for acquisition in the name of His Majesty King Charles II of England. And those who decide to make law in the New World do so of their own volition.

The Spanish treasure galleon El Trinidad recently returned from New Spain and is rumored to be stranded in neighboring Matanceros harbor undergoing repairs. King Philip IV’s favorite commander, the well-constructed, impregnable Spanish fortress is defended by the blood swilling Cazalla. Hunter gathers tough company with the governor’s support in order to sneak onto the adversary island and seize the galleon with its wealth of Spanish treasure. Hunter will lose more than one man during the attack before reaching the island’s shoreline, where only a deep jungle and the Spanish infantry’s weaponry stand between him and the wealth. The raid is as dangerous as the bloody stories of Matancero’s promise.

#7 Pirates Of The Caribbean

Additionally, he has little option because he violated the Code when he released a friend who had been charged with rogue piracy and is no longer permitted to enter Shipwreck Cove.

Jack finds himself abruptly in charge after his captain is killed during a pirate attack on his ship. As a result of the crafty sailor’s successful discussions with the pirate captain, who reveals out to be a woman from his past, Jack is now in line for an official promotion.

His handler has been viciously attacked, but also a sly woman he once loved is at risk of dying.

For Jack, life is not a fairy tale. After all, his grandfather constantly nags him to leave the house and go rescue a princess because his father has been lost ever since that incident involving the giant and the beanstalk.

May doesn’t even think that magic exists. Yes, what’s up with that? A huntsman is pursuing May, her grandmother has been abducted, and Jack believes it’s all the fault of the Wicked Queen, mainly because May’s grandmother might actually be the long-lost Snow White.

#12 Fable By Adrienne Young

The sea is the only place Fable, 17, has ever known as home. She is the daughter of the most influential trader in the Narrows. Four years have passed since the night she witnessed her mother perish in a merciless storm. The following day, her father left her on a storied island populated with robbers and lacking in food. She needs to keep to herself, learn to never trust anyone, and rely on the special abilities her mother taught her if she wants to survive. Her main motivation is the desire to leave the island, locate her father, and claim her rightful place next to him and his crew.

So that she might travel off the island and across the Narrows to her father, Fable enlists the aid of a teenage trader named West. However, since she last saw her father, his business’s risks and rivalries have grown, and Fable soon discovers that West isn’t who he seems. If they want to live, they will have to work together to survive more than just the dangerous storms that frequent the Narrows.
