A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Kiss of the Basilisk A Split or Swallow Novel by Lindsay Straube

From internet sensation Lindsay Straube comes the first in a searing romantasy series where survival demands submission, and desire is the most dangerous game of all. Temperance Verus has never been kissed—not exactly ideal for a girl competing in the palace’s most closely watched matchmaking ritual. Every year, a select group is invited to bond with the realm’s magical basilisks and train in the art of charm, poise, and influence. The prize? A chance to win the prince’s favor—and a life of privilege. Tem expects rules, gowns, and etiquette. She doesn’t expect her assigned partner to be Caspen—the Serpent King, commanding, mysterious, and anything but safe. As he pushes her to unlock the strength she never knew she had, Tem finds herself drawn into something deeper, stranger, and far more powerful than royal approval.  But not all bonds are built for the court, and some secrets are meant to break them. Readers call it “feral, spicy, and unforgettably bold.” For fans of morally grey monsters, slow-burn fantasy romance, and stories that subvert the fairytale script.

Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him .

Casteel Da’Neer is known by many names and many faces. His lies are as seductive as his touch. His truths as sensual as his bite. Poppy knows better than to trust him. He needs her alive, healthy, and whole to achieve his goals. But he’s the only way for her to get what she wants—to find her brother Ian and see for herself if he has become a soulless Ascended. Working with Casteel instead of against him presents its own risks. He still tempts her with every breath, offering up all she’s ever wanted. Casteel has plans for her. Ones that could expose her to unimaginable pleasure and unfathomable pain. Plans that will force her to look beyond everything she thought she knew about herself—about him. Plans that could bind their lives together in unexpected ways that neither kingdom is prepared for. And she’s far too reckless, too hungry, to resist the temptation.

The King wants to use her to send a message. The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden.

From Blood and Ash

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.” Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss. Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire—or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread. Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain. A magical office comedy with grumpy bosses, snarky frogs, and definitely-not-feelings.

The Scent of the Ideal - R Cooper Cover Art

The Scent of the Ideal

The Scent of the Ideal by R Cooper

In the prestigious Academy Trianon, unwanted children are trained to become specialized guards to the upper classes—the swersoldi. Swersoldi learn martial skills, courtly manners, and the use of aer, the force inside all living things. At twenty, Rafi is nearing his final year, and expects an unremarkable future once he secures a placement in a decent noble house. But he's facing a problem—his approaching heat. All three sexes, miná, miné, and nex, experience heats or ruts at the onset of sexual maturity, even though dual-sex nexes like Rafi aren't capable of reproduction. If Rafi's use of aer weren't so strong, such a heat would be embarrassing but bearable. But since he's not yet fully able to control his aer, he will need someone stronger than he is to control his for him. Rafi has no sweetheart, and even if he did, no one currently at the academy has that sort of strength.   Enter Viau, the favorite swersoldi of the royal court: handsome, courteous, honorable—the ideal. As far as Rafi is concerned, Viau is unapproachable and untouchable, so he sees no problem in admitting to his worried instructors that Viau's scent is perfect to his nex senses. Heroic, mannerly Viau will politely decline to be involved, and Rafi can hopefully figure out a less humiliating option in the meantime.   Except Viau says yes. Unwanted, unremarkable Rafi is suddenly the center of the ideal's attention, a confusing, arousing place to be. Viau treats Rafi as if there is more to him than an average swersoldi with an average future, and Rafi starts to wonder if he can have a different life if he reaches for it. One where the ideal was once an unwanted child too, and even an ordinary nex can become the ideal's hero if he loves him.

Kiela hopes to lay low in the overgrown and rundown cottage her late parents left her and figure out a way to survive without drawing the attention of either the empire or the revolutionaries. Much to her dismay, in addition to a nosy—and very handsome—neighbor, she finds the town neglected and in a state of disrepair.

Under Loch and Key - Lana Ferguson Cover Art

Under Loch and Key

Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson

A USA Today Bestseller A woman discovers that not all monsters are her enemy—the opposite, in fact—in this new paranormal romance by Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate . Keyanna “Key” MacKay is used to secrets. Raised by a single father who never divulged his past, it’s only after his death that she finds herself thrust into the world he’d always refused to speak of. With just a childhood bedtime story about a monster that saved her father’s life and the name of her estranged grandmother to go off of, Key has no idea what she’ll find in Scotland. But repeating her father’s mistakes and being rescued by a gorgeous, angry Scotsman—who thinks she’s an idiot—is definitely the last thing she expects. Lachlan Greer has his own secrets to keep, especially from the bonnie lass he pulls to safety from the slippery shore—a lass with captivating eyes and the last name he’s been taught not to trust. He’s looking for answers as well, and Key’s presence on the grounds they both now occupy presents a real problem. It’s even more troublesome when he gets a front row seat to the lukewarm welcome Key receives from her family; the strange powers she begins to develop; and the fierce determination she brings to every obstacle in her path. Things he shouldn’t care about, and someone he definitely doesn’t find wildly attractive. When their secrets collide, it becomes clear that Lachlan could hold the answers Keyanna is after—and that she might also be the key to uncovering his. Up against time, mystery, and a centuries old curse, they’ll quickly discover that magic might not only be in fairy tales, and that love can be a real loch-mess.

Mystic of the Alpha

Mystic of the Alpha by Bella Moondragon

Skye I was raised to keep my power hidden. To be useful, but never dangerous. To understand the stars—without letting anyone see what they've given me. Being a mystic isn't something openly claimed in a world ruled by Alphas. It's something quietly survived. Alex wasn't supposed to matter. A brilliant mind. A dangerous man. A vampire prince hiding in plain sight. We were meant to collide, not connect. But the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to keep my secrets buried—and the more the stars whisper that I've already crossed a line I can't uncross. If the wrong people in power discover what I really am, I won't just lose my freedom. I'll become a weapon. A prize. A threat that has to be controlled. And Alex? He's already being hunted. The stars say my power can save him. They also say it could destroy everything. Loving a prince was never part of my fate. Neither was choosing between the truth and the man who's quietly become my entire universe. Power. Prophecy. A bond that was never meant to exist. And a secret that could bring kingdoms to their knees. MYSTIC OF THE ALPHA Some powers are inherited. Some are feared. And some are worth burning the world for.

She was sent to the dragon king as a sacrifice. Now she may be the only queen powerful enough to command his fire. Maerwen Valeis is no longer a human hostage in the obsidian stronghold. She survived the dragon court's lethal rites. She claimed the bond of King Drazek. She rose from treaty bride to Dragon Queen of Ignis Vale. But the silver mark on her shoulder has awakened something older than the throne itself. The Mark of the First Flame does not merely prove Maerwen belongs beside the Dragon King. It gives her access to the primal fire that runs through his blood, his mountain, and every ancient law his people have obeyed for centuries. To the court, she is no longer a fragile human bride. She is a queen with the power to change what dragon rule means forever. Drazek would burn kingdoms before surrendering the woman who has become his mate, his queen, and the living center of his fire. But devotion is a dangerous weakness for a king built on command. When Maerwen's father demands her return and names Drazek her captor, the fragile peace between human and dragon realms begins to crack. Inside the mountain, Lord Varick and the old-blood nobles whisper that Maerwen's power must be bound before it consumes the throne. Beyond the Ashen Reach, King Aldric twists the treaty into a weapon and gathers the human kingdoms against the daughter who refused to come home. With the forbidden Burn-Key hidden in their possession and the Codex of the First Flame revealing secrets the court tried to bury, Maerwen and Drazek must define their bond before their enemies define it for them. Their marriage is no longer a treaty. Their love is no longer private. And if they cannot claim the throne together, both kingdoms will learn what happens when dragon fire chooses its queen. Dragon King's Bond is Book 2 in a dark dragon king romantasy trilogy featuring a possessive dragon ruler, a powerful bonded queen, open-door romance, court intrigue, ancient magic, royal betrayal, and a fire-bound marriage worth burning for.

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2

Rejected by My Alpha, Claimed by the Ruthless Wolf King (English Edition) 2 by Luna Vosgrey

If you read Part One, you remember the moment. *Don't go.* Two words. Not a command. Not a king speaking to a subject. Something else — something that stopped me in the middle of a dark hallway and made me forget, for just a second, every reason I had to walk away. Part Two begins exactly there. The forbidden east wing opens. Selene's room. A silver ring left behind like a message. And the memory fragments that have been haunting me since I touched it finally begin to make sense — because I'm not just someone who smells like the Wolf King's vanished mate. I'm her *heir*. The next True Anchor in a line that stretches back further than anyone told me. When I stood up in front of the Elder Conclave and called out a lie, silver light poured from my hands. A so-called Blank, glowing in front of every pack leader in the territory. No one had anything to say after that. At first, yes. But not anymore. That's what Kael told me, his hand against my cheek, and I understood — he came looking for me with one purpose. That purpose changed. So did mine. I came here with nothing. Somewhere along the way, I started thinking about what I'd lose if I left. But there's a problem. A True Anchor whose power is drawn out before it's fully released doesn't survive. I know this now. I'm going north anyway — to find Selene, to face Vessa, and to finally answer the question I've been carrying since the night a wolf king stepped out of the dark and said he'd been searching for me. Every thread gets pulled. Every question gets its answer. And in the end, I look Kael in the eye and say the thing that matters most. *I choose you. Not because you claimed me. Because I choose you.* This was never a story about a girl who got rejected. It was always a story about a girl who finally figured out what she was made of.

Her visions invariably involve piddling issues, which means—unlike most oracles—she’s spent her life predicting for everyday humans instead of international power brokers. After a clutch of brain-slurping zombies escapes from their walled-off compound, though, Gwen experiences the first genuinely world-altering vision of her life . . . and now she needs help. Unfortunately, that help comes from Hugh Blacke, the same starchy (but annoyingly cute) demon who watched her bomb her oracle verification test years ago. To Gwen's dismay, the two of them will need to work together to unravel the deadly conspiracy behind the zombie breach, despite their complicated past and the secrets they’re keeping. Even with her newfound power, she couldn't have foreseen how quickly they'd both want more than a simple partnership. But the clock is ticking—and with the fate of humanity at stake, Gwen and Hugh will have to decide how much they’re willing to risk for an unexpected, passionate love...and a future together that might prove very short indeed.
