Burgis S: Enchanting the Fae Queen

Enchanting the Fae Queen

LONGLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD 'Beautiful and unflinching, Cloudless is a phenomenal debut' ANNA HOPE, author of Albion 'Attends to the bonds we have to family, landscape, global politics with uncommon attention, extraordinary depth and lightness of touch' ELIZABETH O'CONNOR, author of Whale Fall It is autumn 2004 and in a farmhouse on the hills outside Llandudno, Catrin and John endure the agonizing wait for their older son to return from Iraq. His decision to join up has left them reeling, yet there are other battles at home: the working of the land that has been theirs for generations and what to do with their troubled younger son. Catrin's childhood sweetheart comes back to their small town, forcing the boys' doting mother to confront the life she might have had. And John, desperate to keep farm and family together, turns to ever riskier methods to stay afloat. As each member of the family grasps at their own tenuous lifeline, they drift further from one another - until, on a cold winter evening, there is a fateful knock at the door. Written in luminous, exquisitely calibrated prose, Cloudless is a masterful portrayal of the fragility and resilience of human connection. 'Dastur writes with devastating compassion on what it means to be human' CATHERINE AIREY, author of Confessions 'Elegant and quietly devastating' MELISSA FU, author of Peach, Blossom, Spring 'A story about love and war, family and nation . . . Told with intelligence, sensitivity and a huge heart' PAUL McVEIGH, author of The Good Son

The Doomed Earth Duology

Lieutenant Selene Genji is hurled into the past to try and save a world that doesn’t want her, in this action-packed adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Fleet series. Earth was destroyed on June 12, 2180. Lieutenant Selene Genji watched it happen. And only she can prevent it.&nbsp; Thrown forty years into the past, into a time before the Universal War began, Genji can only guess what to do to&nbsp;change the events that led to the death of all humanity. She has no way of knowing&nbsp;the long-term impacts of her actions&nbsp;and must depend on her instincts.&nbsp; But many of the people Genji is&nbsp;trying to save want her dead. Her creation was an experiment: a fusing of human and alien DNA. To them, she’s&nbsp;a monster who can’t&nbsp;be trusted, a tool of the aliens who have just made first contact.&nbsp; Fortunately, she has an unshakable ally in Lieutenant Kayl Owen, who has risked everything to help her mission. Declared a traitor to humanity by Earth&nbsp;Guard, Owen is determined to help Genji save the planet.&nbsp; Even if he dies trying.

Destiny's Way

A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK | A LITHUB MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 The astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel about a young woman whose quest to become the first Cherokee astronaut irrevocably alters the fates of the people she loves most. 'Will break your heart and take you to the stars. I loved it.' Kiley Reid, bestselling author of Such a Fun Age 'A breathtaking debut about family, identity, and love across generations.' Reese Witherspoon 'A powerful story about the mixture of combativeness, compromise and love that forms the heart of a family.' Kaliane Bradley, bestselling author of The Ministry of Time Steph Harper is on the run. When she was five, her mother ran - with Steph and her younger sister in tow - from an abusive husband into the arms of a small Cherokee community, where she hoped they might finally belong. But Steph soon sets her sights as far away as she can get, vowing that she will let nothing interfere with her dream to become an astronaut, and ultimately, to go to the moon. In Steph's certainty that only her ambition can save her, she will stretch her bonds with the three women who know and love her most dearly: her younger sister Kayla, an artist whose determination to appear good takes her life to unexpected places; her college girlfriend Della, who strives to reclaim her identity as an adult after being removed from her family as a young girl through a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; and her mother Hannah, who has held up her family's history as a beacon of inspiration to her kids, all the while keeping the truth about her own past a secret. Told through these women's interwoven lives, and spanning three decades and several continents, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel of mothers and daughters, love and sacrifice, alienation and heartbreak, terror and wonder. At its core, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths one woman will go to find a little space for herself. Praise for To The Moon and Back A singular, sonorous, wholehearted novel, one I wanted to devour and savour at once.' Claire Lombardo, bestselling author of The Most Fun We Ever Had 'A brilliant, faceted, warm-hearted novel, with characters to love and truly root for, and pages that seem to turn themselves.' Sarah Thankam Mathews, author of the National Book Award Finalist All This Could Be Different 'A captivating debut about family, queer identity, love, career and heritage. This novel has something for everyone.' De'Shawn Charles Winslow, author of In West Mills 'A soaring masterpiece... Every character in this novel will stay with you forever. I love this book.' Casey Plett, author of A Dream of a Woman 'A passionate and compulsively readable novel. Dare I say, a stellar debut.' Margot Livesey, author of The Road to Belhaven

To the Moon and Back

“Seductive and merciless, The Debtor’s Game turns fae politics into something intimate and dangerous.”—Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author “Profoundly dystopian . . . This is fantasy at its most hard-hitting.”—Shalini Abeysekara, author of This Monster of Mine Debtor: One who is owned; a faerie. In the kingdom of Amyria, the High Fae rule all. Faeries are born into servitude to pay off tattooed rings of debt, which can be added to at any time by the mercurial Fae. It is the way of things. Avery serves under Lady Kassandra in the Versara Palace, the pinnacle of high society, where she becomes tangled in a deadly game of politics and power. Avery must help Kassandra escape her violent brother by catching the eye of the soon-to-be-crowned King Maxian. But things go horribly wrong at the coronation, forcing Avery to split her loyalties between Kassandra and Maxian, where one wrong move could cost Avery her family. When Avery discovers earth-shattering secrets about the High Fae, she stops playing fair—for the game is rigged . . . and she just might find the key to freeing them all. “Stunning from beginning to end” (Library Journal, starred review), The Debtor’s Game is a dark fantasy novel of staggering scope and imagination—one that shows the best way to deal with an unjust system is to tear it out by its roots.

In a world where faeries are born with tattoos of debt to the High Fae, one servant must navigate a game of dangerous, sensual court politics between her mistress and the king—the first installment in a dark fantasy series. “Dark, dangerous, and deadly, The Debtor’s Game is a gorgeous treat to read, with sensual and atmospheric prose. I could not put this book down.”—Lindsay Straube, New York Times bestselling author of Kiss of the Basilisk As a palace faerie, Avery is busy preparing Lady Kassandra, a High Fae of the House of Illusion, for the upcoming coronation. Both of their freedoms rely on it: Kassandra, to escape her violent brother, and Avery, to pay off rings of debt tattoos she has inherited from her family, which force her to serve the High Fae. After a series of tragic events, Avery is forced to split her loyalties between Lady Kassandra and the newly crowned King Maxian, an alluring High Fae of staggering power. Avery agrees to spy on the King in exchange for liberating her family from debt, forming a triangle that proves more dangerous by the minute—further complicated by Avery’s warring desire and resentment for both Maxian and Kassandra. But freedom from her debt grows further out of reach when she’s forced to test her loyalties, leading her to uncover secrets about the High Fae with earth-shattering implications. Soon, Avery must find out whether the faeries—and herself—are really as powerless against the High Fae as they seem...or whether she just might hold the key to freeing them all.

Three Shattered Souls

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A man must fight for his planet against impossible odds when gamers from Earth attempt to remotely annihilate it in this epic, fast-paced novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl. All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family’s aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there’s a complication. Even though the settlers were promised they’d be left in peace, Earth’s government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an “eviction action.” But maximizing profits will always be Apex’s number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes? The game is called Operation Bounce House. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who’ve paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he’s ever known.

Operation Bounce House

Der Meeresbiologe Buck Grey macht eine verblüffende Entdeckung: Zahlreiche trächtige Haie aus aller Welt versammeln sich in den Gewässern Mittelamerikas. In Windeseile stellt Buck ein Forschungsteam zusammen, mit dem er sich auf den Weg zum biologischen 
"Hotspot" macht. Einer Legende zufolge wurden Einheimische einst vom "Weißen Teufel" verführt, hier nach Hummern zu tauchen. Und Hunderte dieser Taucher sollen nun auf dem Meeresgrund liegen ... 
Für ihre Mission chartern sie das Schiff von Kapitän Harwood, einem Exzentriker mit geheimnisvoller Vergangenheit. Doch Harwoods Boot ist alles andere als hochseetauglich - die Spannungen zwischen Buck und dem Kapitän sind vorprogrammiert. Mit jedem Tauchgang machen sie neue 
Entdeckungen und sichten umringt von Haien immer wieder "Ghost Divers", jene mythischen Taucher am Meeresgrund. Währenddessen steigen die Spannungen im Team, so dass die Frage drängender wird, ob die größte Bedrohung unter Wasser lauert - oder doch in den 
eigenen Reihen ...

Wort für Wort

Carcosa

Ein Raumschiff strandet auf einem fernen Planeten, buchstäblich am Ende des Universums. Die kleine Gruppe von Frauen und Männern findet sich in einer lebensfeindlichen Einöde wieder und muss versuchen, auch nur die ersten Tage gemeinsam zu überstehen. Als die Männer stattdessen hochfliegende Pläne schmieden, wie diese Welt zu 'kolonisieren' sei, kommt es zur Katastrophe ... 
Mit ihrem erstmals 1976 erschienenen Roman "Wir, die wir sehr bald ..." verfasste Joanna Russ die definitive Antithese zu den Werken ihrer männlichen Kollegen: Hier tragen keine strahlenden Helden die Zivilisation in die Weiten des Weltraums hinaus. Hier stellt sich eine Frau den existenziellen Fragen des Daseins. Bis zur letzten Konsequenz. // Der abschließende Band unserer Russ-Werkausgabe enthält außerdem zwei längere Erzählungen, eine Folge repräsentativer Buchkritiken und einen Essay aus der dritten Schaffensphase der Autorin.
