Scion (2026) (Scion , book 1) James Islington "Like a quest straight out of Cyberpunk 2077, Scion has all the hallmarks of Islington's strengths, with the same twisty plots, deep characters, and stellar worlds as his fantasy works, packaged in a sharp-edged sci-fi."
The Eye of Leviathan (2026) (Sea Beyond Duology, book 1) M A Carrick "A historical fantasy you cannot miss, The Eye of Leviathan lures you in with the promise of a changeling tale, enchants you with its inventive, sprawling worldbuilding, and traps you like a fairy ring with its fascinating cast of characters."
Dream of the Jet-Black City (2026) (Dream-Magic Duology, book 1) Pablo Valcárcel Castro "Beautifully lyrical and darkly romantic, Valcarcel's Dream of the Jet-Black City imagines an adventure full of diverse characters and an expansive world that would be a pleasure to get lost in. Challenging class and the role of creator, this dark fantasy questions whether the dreams of the powerful are worth the nightmares of the powerless."
You Weren't Meant to Be Human (2025) Andrew Joseph White "You Weren't Meant to be Human is dysphoria bound into words. Andrew Joseph White captures a beautifully disgusting world that's all too familiar to neurodivergent and trans individuals, with a plot that offers nothing but shocking pleasure with each page turn."
A Game in Yellow (2025) Hailey Piper "A dangerous game of cat and mouse between a submissive lesbian at a dead end job and the Cthhonic powers that lurk between the pages of a certain yellow play, A Game in Yellow is a tightly plotted homage that builds upon lost Carcossa and spins you around in a shimmering masquerade of the senses."

Dragonfall (2023) (Dragon Scales, book 1) L R Lam "With a queernorm cast that challenges the roles of gender and sexuality, Dragonfall is a page-turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat with phenomenal worldbuilding and jaw-dropping twists. Leaves you as breathless as flying on dragonback."
The Death of Jane Lawrence (2021) Caitlin Starling "With labyrinthine twists and characters to fall for, Starling’s gothic horror is a tale that haunts you even after you’re done. The Death of Jane Lawrence is Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell with sharp teeth and a Crimson Peak you’re scared to look in the eye."
