  A Swordmaiden's hand is not easily won 
  Theseus, king of the Court of Knowledge, is desperate. With the barrier to the Realm of Monsters wearing thin and the chaos of Midsummer Night approaching, he needs to do something drastic to save his Court. If he doesn't secure warriors to protect his Court from the monsters, his people, the Great Library, and all the knowledge of the Fae Realm that it contains could be destroyed.  
  That leaves him with the choice to either bargain with another Court and hope the price isn't too steep or face deadly trials to win the hand of Queen Hippolyta of the Court of Swordmaidens, a court of mysterious warrior women.  
  Marriage seems like the better option, but the trials prove to be trickier than Theseus feared. Even worse, he finds himself drawn to Ariadne, the serving maid, instead of the cold-hearted Queen Hippolyta. Will he have to choose between his heart and saving his Court?

  Once, the plains thundered beneath endless herds of buffalo. Now the ground lies quiet—and men who built their lives on the hunt are running out of time. 
  John and James Elliott have hunted buffalo since they were boys, rising from skinners to owners of a successful outfit. They knew the work, the risk, and the reward. But as the herds vanish and the railroad pushes west, their business begins to collapse. Wolves press closer. Rival hunters circle. Iron money offers survival at the cost of finishing what little remains. 
  Forced to choose between profit and responsibility, the brothers must decide what kind of men they will be when the work that defined them is gone. 
  The Last of a Dying Breed is a stark, historically grounded Western about the end of the buffalo hunts, the rise of the railroad, and the quiet reckoning faced by men who lived long enough to see their world disappear.

  A life-or-death debt. A lethal cartel. And a billionaire who would burn the world to save her. 
  
   
  Maya Dias is an EMT used to high-pressure triage, but she’s losing the battle to save the only family she has left. With her brother’s life-saving treatment on the line and a hurricane tearing through Miami, a desperate search for help leads her to break into the one place she doesn’t belong: the shipping terminal of Logan Cross. 
  
   
  Logan is a billionaire tycoon who sees the world in cold logistics and iron-clad control. But when he finds the resilient Maya witnessing a dangerous cartel operation on his docks, his focus shifts from his empire to her survival. 
  
   
  Forced into Logan’s high-security world of Star Island mansions and private jets, Maya finds herself trapped in a gilded cage. Logan offers her everything—safety, a prestigious job at his foundation, and a way to save her brother—but it all feels like a new form of leverage. As the Morales cartel closes in and a media firestorm threatens to ruin her name, Maya must decide if the man of steel is her greatest threat or the only anchor she can trust in the storm.

  White Lotus meets Shaun of the Dead in this absurdist take on the wellness retreat. 
  Our narrator and his accidental companion, K. Sohail, find themselves on an island wellness retreat impersonating the Dhaliwals, who have probably been killed in a helicopter crash. After being welcomed by Jerome the robot, the intrepid imposters eagerly partake of the all-you-stomach buffet, the motivational speechifyings of self-help guru Brad Beard, and Professor Sayer's uncomfortably erotic couples counselling.  
  
    But things quickly take an ominous turn when an excursion to a nearby deserted village reveals a guillotine and a haunted chapel. And then one of the retreaters is murdered and the real Dhaliwals show up. Accusations, counter-accusations, and counter-counter-accusations are made, until the whole retreat is caught up in a bizarre trial.  
  
    In All You Can Kill, Pasha Malla, with his inimitable absurdist style, collides horror and humour into an utterly unforgettable satire. 
  "Smart, hilarious, original, All You Can Kill is a feverish, one-of-a-kind, unhinged journey into the absurd shams of modern life. No one writes satire, or anything else, like Pasha Malla." – Iain Reid, author of We Spread 
  "Malla is a fabulously gifted writer." – Publishers Weekly
     
  "I don’t really know how Malla gets away with what he does … but it is astounding to watch him do it." – The Rumpus

  A chilling tale about what happens when we mess with nature. 
  In 1942, a young entomologist, Thomas, is sent to a remote island to work on biological weapons for the Allied military. The scientists live like prisoners while they produce anthrax and look for the perfect virus carrier among the island’s many insects. 
  Sixty years later, in the same region of Quebec, a heat wave unleashes swarms of horseflies while humans fall prey to strange flights of rage. Theodore is living a simple life, working double shifts and drinking to forget, when a horsefly bite stirs him from his apathy. He impulsively kidnaps his grandfather, whose dementia has him living in the past on Grosse Île.  
  The horseflies, meanwhile, know a few secrets… 
  Loosely based on historical fact, Horsefly is a terrifying tale about the ways in which we try to dominate nature, and how nature will, inevitably, wreak retribution upon us.
