The Gryphon King (2025)
(Chaos Constellation, book 1)
Sara Omer
"Dripping with blood and glitteringly deadly court politics, The Gryphon King dazzles with characters as likely to bite the hand that feeds them as a man-eating pegasus. Omer's work is both sweeping and wonderfully intimate."

A Spell for Change (2025)
Nicole Jarvis
"A Spell for Change delivers on all the best aspects of a fantastical Southern Gothic, alive with magic as prickly, painful, and stubborn, as the characters learning to wield it. Jarvis's characters are as vivid in their struggles as their joys: Nora Jo, a witchy bookish schoolmistress hiding her love for the girl nextdoor, Kate, a preacher's granddaughter and a prophet, and Oliver, a prodigal son returned, forever ravaged by ghosts of war both physical and metaphysical. You won't be able to look away as lives and loves crash and tangle together in a struggle against powers of darkness as real as the trauma, prejudice, and hard living realities of rural mountain life."

The Serpent Called Mercy (2025)
Roanne Lau
"The Serpent Called Mercy delivers a world so vibrant and rich with Southeast Asian culture, it leaps off the page. With its complex political rivalries, underworld factions, and vicious death games, Setgad is a city that will swallow you whole without blinking. Yet Roanne perfectly balances her setting's epic proportions against characters scrabbling for agency amidst debts and class realities that are heavier than fate. Until I met Lythlet and Desil, I didn't know how much I longed for a story sewn together with an unshakable bond of friendship rather than romance."
