The Saltwater Curse by Avina St. Graves (2025)
A woman escaping her past… Kristy Gallagher has slayed a monster before. When she could no longer live with her husband’s abuse, she plunged a knife into his neck. Then, she fled his family’s criminal empire—changing her name and traveling to the far reaches of the world, before finding her safe haven in Bali. She’s used to looking over her shoulder but nothing could prepare her for the monster that lurks beyond the shore. Sharp claws, grasping tentacles—Krakens are real, and their King has decided she’s to be his bride. A monster trying to end a curse… Ordus is King of the Dead Lands, the last Kraken of his bloodline, and the final hope to break a terrible curse that plagues his lands. He must find his destined bride, his soul mate, and marry her to save his kingdom. His fated mate shouldn’t be a human, but something about her calls to him like no other creature ever has. He drags her to his island, kicking and screaming, begging to be returned to the mainland. Ordus must convince her he’s not a monster to be feared, but her soul mate who will protect her from anything and anyone who means her harm. Including his own people.
Bloodied Feather by S. Overridge (2025)
Bloodied Feather Book I of the Rusted Valor Trilogy In a brutal world controlled by gold and paid for in blood, survival is no victory… only an unpaid sacrifice. This is a story of grit, forged bonds, and fragile hope. For readers who love the deeply, human character ties in ‘The Last of Us’ and the medieval worldbuilding of ‘A Song of Ice and Fire.’ Gray, he should be dead, wants to be, yet he carries on, each breath his punishment. He has nothing to live for… until he finds something worth dying for. This new purpose forces him to confront his buried past in search of safety. Lyra and Ravina, survived of cruel turns, end up beneath Gray’s reluctant wing. It isn’t wanted, nor a bond that was wished for. It was a bond forged in iron, rusted by blood, yet born through resilient honour.

With Vane and Winnie in tow, we set sail to Roc’s home island. But not everything is as it seems on Darkland. Roc has allies and enemies lurking in the soot-stained streets, but it might be his past that catches up to him first. Roc can no longer run from who he is. But where does that leave Wendy and me? I may have lost my hand to the Crocodile, but I’m not willing to lose my heart too.

Scorpion and the Night Blossom by Amélie Wen Zhao (2025)
In a world invaded by demons, one girl will face the ultimate test when she is forced to enter into an ancient, deadly competition for the chance to save her mother's soul... before she loses her forever. From the New York Times bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night comes the beginning of a dark and opulent fantasy duology, perfect for fans of Throne of Glass. Nine years ago, the war between the Kingdom of Night and the Kingdom of Rivers tore An'ying's family apart, leaving her mother barely alive and a baby sister to fend for. Now the mortal realm is falling into eternal night, and mó-beautiful, ravenous demons-roam the land, feasting on the flesh of humans and drinking their souls. An'ying is no longer a helpless child, though. Armed with her crescent blades and trained in the ancient art of practitioning, she has decided to enter the Immortality Trials, which are open to any mortal who can survive the journey to the immortal realm. Those who complete the Trials are granted a pill of eternal life-the one thing An'ying knows can heal her dying mother. But to attain the prize, she must survive the competition. Death is common in the Trials. Yet oddly, An'ying finds that someone is helping her stay alive. A rival contestant. Powerful and handsome, Yù'chén is as secretive about his past as he is about his motives for protecting An'ying. The longer she survives the Trials, the clearer it becomes that all is not right in the immortal realm. To save her mother and herself, An'ying will need to figure out whether she can truly trust the stranger she's falling for or if he's the most dangerous player of all ... for herself and for all the realms.
Le Chant d'Ast'Orn by Félix Sorgate (2025)
Léonore Delambre, brillante chercheuse en histoire des religions et traditions occultes, s’aventure dans les recoins oubliés des Vosges, attirée par la légende d’un manuscrit interdit : Le Chant d’Ast'Orn. Ce qu’elle croit être une simple quête académique se transforme en une descente vertigineuse vers l’inconnu lorsque le manuscrit s’ouvre à elle, dévoilant des forces cosmiques indicibles. Emportée dans une spirale où le réel se fissure, Léonore découvre une réalité dominée par Ast'Orn, entité mystique et dévorante, dont les murmures obsédants réveillent en elle des désirs enfouis et une soif de vérité dangereuse. Entre visions hallucinées, rites occultes et passions interdites, elle devient l’instrument d’un pouvoir qui la dépasse, où le plaisir se mêle à la terreur et où la frontière entre l’humanité et l’abîme se brouille. Le Chant d’Ast'Orn s’impose comme un hommage troublant à Le Roi en Jaune de Robert W. Chambers et aux cauchemars cosmiques de H.P. Lovecraft. Dans cette fresque ténébreuse, l’ésotérisme flirte avec l’horreur charnelle, et le lecteur est entraîné dans un labyrinthe sensoriel où chaque page consume l’âme, déchirant les voiles du réel pour révéler l’indicible.
The Royal Rogue by Sarah Honey (2025)
Thomas Malone is the new Captain of the Guard at Lilleforth Castle. He loves his job, but it leaves him no time for himself. It's been way too long since he's had anyone share his bed, let alone his life. To say he's frustrated is an understatement. To make matters worse, the King’s disreputable cousin Evan Devere, the Duke of Ravenport, is back from his travels. Evan is as scatterbrained as he is attractive, which is a shame—if Evan had even half a brain, he’d be exactly Thomas’s type. As it is, Thomas has resigned himself to spending his days keeping Evan out of trouble. But when a threat emerges against the crown, Thomas and Evan have to work together to find who's behind the plot, and Thomas discovers there’s more to Evan than meets the eye. So when Evan suggests that they act on their mutual attraction, Thomas throws caution to the wind and agrees. After all, it is just a fling, right? There’s no way Thomas is actually going to fall for the sexy, infuriating cousin of the king. No way at all.
Justice in 21st-Century Fairy Tales and the Power of Wonder by Cristina Bacchilega (2025)
Exploring a range of international works such as films, streaming television series, a graphic novel, and a picture book, this open access book interrogates how, and to what extent, fairy tales are put to work for justice in the areas of environment and ecology, kinship and family, ability and disability, and sex and gender. As Bacchilega and Greenhill demonstrate, some 21st-century fairy tales channel the genre's wonder to offer otherwise possibilities for being and acting in the world that are not confined to socially sanctioned paths. Drawing on visual and audio-visual case studies of texts such as The Magic Fish, Julián Is A Mermaid, Pokot [Spoor], Gräns [Border], The Dragon Prince, Gatta Cenerentola [Cinderella the Cat], and Sweet Tooth, they examine how the wonder and preternatural of fairy tales model a sustained desire to believe in and realize new ways of existence that have often been too easily dismissed. Guided by theories in fields including ecological, gender, disability, critical race, Indigenous, fantasy, posthuman, and adaptation studies as they intersect with folklore and fairy tale studies, this book examines how creators of wonder tales since the beginning of the new millenium have presented provocations around humans' political and social relations with nature and culture. Analyzing justice from a variety of positions and establishing how tales of the otherwise can develop optative thinking, Justice in 21st-Century Fairy Tales and the Power of Wonder refutes the conservative, patriarchal, and merely nostalgic Disnified narrative of the genre and insists on the power of wonder within and beyond fairy tales. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada grant 435-2019-0691 and The University of Winnipeg, Canada.
