The Infinite State (2026) (Decurion Saga, book 1) Richard Swan "Science fiction at its finest, doing what sci-fi does best: showing us how to build a better future. This book is a reflection of our times, and for our times."
A Snake Among Swans (2026) (Wild Swans, book 1) Hannah Kaner "Kaner crafts an astonishing portrait of a fierce young queen, whose quest to save the remnants of her people - no matter the cost to herself or those she dares to love - will threaten her own humanity. It is a riveting and nuanced tale about the ways in which the power we seek and the survival we need can also be our undoing."
Harbour of Hungry Ghosts (2026) (Chronicles of the Yiugwai Hunters, book 1) Eliza Chan "Eliza Chan has outdone herself! Filled with action, humor, and sassy women, Harbor of Hungry Ghosts is a glorious tribute to Eastern and Western mythologies, and to Hong Kong's richly vibrant history."
Vervain Hollow (2026) Catriona Silvey "Profoundly unsettling, like a nightmare from which you can't seem to wake. Silvey explores the depths of desire, loneliness, and obsessive control - all told through the framework of a supernatural monster, and the young humans he draws into his web."
Strange Familiars (2026) (Seamere College Duology, book 1) Keshe Chow "A smart, sizzling, and highly original fantasy about two rival magical vets. A truly delightful and passionate novel!"
As Many Souls as Stars (2025) Natasha Siegel "With lyrical writing and a poet's touch, Siegel delivers an epic story of deep loneliness, tormented love, and one woman's quest to set herself free--no matter how many lives she must be born into."
Our Gifted Hearts (2025) Jennifer Kennedy "Our Gifted Hearts is a beautiful yet unsettling Gothic story about grief and self-forgiveness, breathing new life and a feminist perspective to this classic horror tale."
Down in the Sea of Angels (2025) Khan Wong "In this beautifully intricate story, Wong shows how our past, present, and future are all connected, and how we can build towards a brighter world."
Lightfall (2025) (Everlands Trilogy, book 1) Ed Crocker "Lightfall is a darkly delightful subversion of the vampire tale, in which the supernatural takes centre stage rather than hiding in the shadows. Read this if you crave tons of whip-smart snarky banter set against a brooding, blood-drenched world."
The Last Hour Between Worlds (2024) (Echo Archives, book 1) Melissa Caruso "This twisty, locked-room mystery spans alternate dimensions, braiding romance and adventure into brilliant, time-looping fun. Perfect for fans of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle!"
The West Passage (2024) Jared Pechaček "A weird and wonderful tale, rich with imagination and utterly unique; Pechacek has crafted a literary gem of a novel."
The Spice Gate (2024) Prashanth Srivatsa "Srivatsa has created such an immersive and intricately-layered world, and an equally intricately-layered character: Amir is very much the quiet hero who grows into his own strengths over the course of his story - and what a story! I think a lot of epic fantasy fans - particularly fans of RR Virdi--will really enjoy this one."
Calypso (2024) Oliver K Langmead "Calypso is an evocative and visionary novella that reshapes the cold, scientific story of human colonisation into a lyrical song, reminiscent of ancient epic poems."
Voyage of the Damned (2024) Frances White "I burned through this in about two days. Absolutely bloody brilliant! Voyage of the Damned is clever and comedic, while also heartfelt and harrowing. I hope readers will come to enjoy Dee's escapades as much as I did."
Generation Ship (2023) Michael Mammay "Generation Ship is a ferocious story of human desperation, boiling with tension and betrayal."
Night's Edge (2023) (Night's Edge , book 1) Liz Kerin "Kerin's complex and nuanced novel is immersive, bleak, and twisted. An emotional gauntlet which I really enjoyed."
The Surviving Sky (2023) (Rages Trilogy, book 1) Kritika H Rao "The Surviving Sky is a high-octane science fantasy with heady, cerebral ideas and a lushly imagined world, whose story centers on a 30s-ish married couple - very unusual for fantasy! There is nothing else out there which is quite like it!"
Ascension (2023) Nicholas Binge "Binge has written a profound and elegiac story that examines science, faith and the concept of humanity itself - what it means to live and die, to yearn and strive, and all the spaces in between. I will be thinking about this one for a long time!"
World Running Down (2023) (World Running Down) Al Hess "A piercing mix of relevant social commentary braided into a riveting scifi adventure."
