  From Brandon Sanderson—author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War—comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm  
  of War, this newest story (like Edgedancer before it) takes a deeper look at several characters in the saga, and brings them to the forefront. 
   
  When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn’t fallen into enemy hands. Knights Radiant who fly too near  
  find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. 
   
  Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct.  
   
  Now Rysn’s pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani’s quest and sail into the  
  perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

  A woman fights for her life as a refugee, slave, mother, and farmer, in this “saga with many layers . . . [A] riveting, addictive journey” (Joanne Hardy, author of The Girl in the Butternut Dress). After the deaths of her white father and mixed-race mother, young Eliza is left with neither home nor family in the newly forming frontier of Texas. Enslaved by men who treat her body as their property, she eventually escapes, marries, becomes a mother, and realizes her dream of having a small farm. But she must fight and kill to keep it—even if it does mean welcoming others who have been shunned or forgotten by society. Living and laboring together, will these outcasts find the strength and community they need to survive and flourish? Acclaimed for her “wonderful” debut novel (Publishers Weekly), Roccie Hill, inspired by the story of her great-great grandmother, now presents an unforgettable literary saga of a woman and a place, growing and enduring under multiple flags and through the sorrows and turbulence of history. “Lonesome Dove meets Where the Crawdads Sing. I simply could not put this novel down. Vividly written, The Blood of My Mother is a gripping saga about a perilous time in our nation’s history and a woman who survived it against all odds. It is a novel about how love and hope transcend man’s inhumanity to man. I was pulled deeply into the story and was held there until the very last page.” —Patricia Wood, author of Lottery, shortlisted for the 2008 Orange Prize for Fiction “As a child, I saw my first American Indian outside Albuquerque. A big, rotund lady covered in colored beads, sitting by the side of the train tracks, selling trinkets and tightly woven baskets. I pointed to a small polished stone whose color I had never seen. The woman smiled, picked it up and held it out; it looked so bright against the brown callused hand. I nodded vigorously. Holding out my money, we exchanged treasures. I clutched my first turquoise, reveled in the real America, both still heart warm from the desert  sun. So began my love of the real American West. Roccie Hill, through all the terrors and trials of her heroine, never loses sight of the true beauty to be found out here and in this wonderful book.” —Maria Riva, bestselling author of Marlene Dietrich: The Life and You Were There Before My Eyes.

  Unwanted betrothals, a villainous prince, and one fiery red-head... 
  A Retelling of Thumbelina. 
   
  Nixie Greene is a small, agile, clever thief. In the fallen kingdom of Sybettal, the most valuable treasures aren’t made up of gold, silver, or jewels, but basic necessities. Nixie and her adoptive mother enjoy their peaceful life of scavenging until the neighboring kingdom of Ashbourne begins to dig their claws into their last natural resource—their people. 
  As the citizens of Sybettal are being coerced into joining the Ashbourne military under the promise of hot meals and shelter, a band of rebels rise with their own plan to aid their kingdom. Rumors are circulating that the infant princess of Sybettal didn’t perish twenty years ago, meaning that a new monarchy could be established if she was found. But where do you find a hidden princess who was adopted as an infant and has unusual hair? It would seem that the red-headed Nixie has a few new suitors she must now address. 
  What’s a thief to do when the greatest treasure in the kingdom is her own hand in marriage? Kidnappings, hunts, and deceivingly friendly faces all threaten to force Nixie into a crown she never wanted. Only one man actually seems to want to help her; however, he appears to harbor a few secrets of his own... 
  Can Nixie find the truth behind her past before her future is redefined? Or will she be robbed of her family once again? 
   
  This book can be enjoyed as a standalone, but is best enjoyed when read in order due to potential spoilers.

  In the canal city of Larkweft, guilt doesn't just eat at your conscience—it rains from the sky. 
  Amos White is a municipal roof-inspector who has spent his entire life smoothing over the rough edges of society. He fixes broken slates, clears clogged gutters, and yields to conflict to keep the peace. But Larkweft is a city built on buried rot, and the elite's most shameful secrets are finally overflowing. Unnatural, highly specific weather anomalies are plaguing the city—a choking sea fog born of corruption, freezing sleet raining down on the greedy, and impossible frost shattering glass. The source? The Museum of Borrowed Weather, an ancient, sealed monolith meant to process the emotional exhaust of a broken city. 
  When Amos is cornered by Sandor Selmy, the ruthless head of the merchant guilds, he is ordered to cap the magical leaks and bury the truth forever. Desperate to maintain harmony, Amos agrees. But his brilliant, uncompromising apprentice, Cleo Cipher, refuses to let the innocent pay the price for the sins of the powerful. As the atmospheric pressure builds to catastrophic levels, Amos must confront the devastating cost of his own cowardice. Will he patch the leak to protect the elite, or will he shatter the containment and let the devastating storm of truth wash Larkweft clean? 
  Why you will love this: This atmospheric Fantasy weaves a spectacular tale of gaslamp magic, deep civic mysteries, and moral complexity. Fans of dark fantasy, unique magic systems, and cinematic storytelling will be completely swept away by the intricate world-building, where literal weather patterns act as the universe’s karmic vengeance. 
  Author and narrator John Newbill masterfully brings Larkweft to life, delivering an immersive, spellbinding audiobook performance with a wholly original voice that captures both the delicate beauty of a painted sky and the visceral terror of a magical hurricane.
