The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox (2026)
Katrina Kwan
"A fast-paced and thoroughly satisfying meal of a book! Come for the joyful nods to folktales, stay for the grumpy misfits taking bites out of each other. Ferocious and heartfelt."
thumb
City of Others (2026)
(DEUS Files, book 1)
Jared Poon
"Heartfelt and laugh out loud, City of Others is urban fantasy as you've never seen it before. Filled with Southeast Asian folklore, an eclectic cast of outsiders and a thoroughly satisfying takedown of bureaucracy, I smiled my way through this entire book. An absolute breath of fresh air."
thumb
Cruel Is the Light (2025)
(Cruel Is the Light, book 1)
Sophie Clark
"Cruel is the Light is a sucker punch to the heart, packed with action, secrets, betrayal and whip-smart banter in a world that is both bleak and beautiful in equal measures. A story of forbidden love with yearning so keen it could cut. Bound to be your next romantasy obsession."
