Book Description
Time is growing short. Merely two years remain before the curse will claim Queen Peydra’s life and desperation steals some of her common sense. Despite advice to the contrary, Peydra returns to the palace after a disastrous visit to Old Towne and a six-week absence. She finds Speaker Erik cozy on her throne as regent. Determined to clarify whether he is friend or foe, the queen stubbornly puts herself at risk while Anthony and her allies fight to keep her safe. More of Anthony’s past comes to light when Peydra sends him on a quest to find the Stone of Drayden. A childhood friend with questionable loyalties waylays and later joins him. Despite the extra help, Anthony returns to the palace not with the stone, but with Novi, a young woman who calls herself the Protector of the Stone. Novi sets into motion a quiet hopeful plan to save the queen. Speaker Erik, having burned bridges between he and the queen, leaves the palace and sinks deeper into his father’s schemes, but his eyes are starting to open to the truth. As time grows short, Peydra makes erratic decisions that threaten not only her life but that of her men. Will Anthony finally tell her who he really is before it’s too late, and if he does, will Peydra forgive the seeming deceit or will she banish him so she can focus on what she believes she must do? • Foolish Queen is the third book in Fleming’s Curse of Royalty series. Queen Peydra and Anthony have difficulty adjusting to their return to the palace, specifically to the necessary personal distance. Peydra insists that she needs Erik’s support to defeat the curse so she stubbornly puts herself into danger, not only with the speaker but in several situations.

Book Description
International bestselling author Mark Lawrence continues the bold new world of dark fantasy he created in the Broken Empire trilogy with the first book of the Red Queen's War... For all her reign the Red Queen has fought the long war, contested in secret, against the powers that stand behind nations, for higher stakes than land or gold. Her greatest weapon is The Silent Sister—unseen by most and unspoken of by all. The Red Queen’s grandson, Prince Jalan Kendeth—drinker, gambler, seducer of women—is one who can see The Silent Sister. Content with his role as a minor royal, Jal pretends that the hideous crone is not there. But war with the undead is coming, and the Red Queen has called on her family to defend the realm. Jal thinks that nothing that will affect him. He's wrong... After escaping a death trap set by the Silent Sister, Jal finds his fate magically intertwined with a fierce Norse warrior. As the two undertake a journey to undo the spell, encountering grave dangers, willing women, and an upstart prince named Jorg Ancrath along the way, Jalan gradually catches a glimmer of the truth: he and the Norseman are but pieces in a game—and the Red Queen controls the board.

Book Description
Deprived beings with genetic mutations make the best Psychos. Pfft, f£(&*@g humans. Whoever thought genetic testing was a good idea is lucky my ability isn't to travel back in time, because I'd have pinpointed the moment he primed the first needle and strangled the life out of him. Instead I'm stuck here, hated by humans and hunted by the authorities. Mutes have no place in this world, which is why I've tried to leave it countless times, not that I could be so lucky. My destiny is to be trapped amongst the living and that's not the worst part. Thrown into the Afterlife Asylum, I find myself falling for an actual ghost, hated by a Mutant called Ghost and bound to a fiery soul I've never met - that's my reality. These three men have barrelled into my life and destroyed the mantra I once lived by. No love means no grief, and my knack for rising from the dead means I'd be grieving for a very long time. One day I'll figure out how to take my rightful place in Hell, where the fires are warm and the demons inviting. With the burnt ashes of sinners filling my senses and their blood-curdling screams bringing a smile to my lips. I know where I belong. Now I need to find out how to stay there, permanently. Trigger warning: This novel is the first in a dark RH trilogy. Certain themes such as sex, self-harm, death and controversial beliefs are featured so anyone easily offended should avoid. However, those who always fall for the twisted, deranged villain and never question their own sanity about it, the Afterlife Asylum is the place for you.

Book Description
A darkly luminous new novel from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Hours Michael Cunningham's luminous novel begins with a vision. It's November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visions—or in God—but he can't deny what he's seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, a struggling musician, is trying—and failing—to write a wedding song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill. Tyler is determined to write a song that will be not merely a sentimental ballad but an enduring expression of love. Barrett, haunted by the light, turns unexpectedly to religion. Tyler grows increasingly convinced that only drugs can release his creative powers. Beth tries to face mortality with as much courage as she can summon. Cunningham follows the Meeks brothers as each travels down a different path in his search for transcendence. In subtle, lucid prose, he demonstrates a profound empathy for his conflicted characters and a singular understanding of what lies at the core of the human soul. The Snow Queen, beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, proves again that Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation.
