    Walk the Vanished Earth

    by Erin Swan

    In the tradition of Station Eleven, Severance, and The Dog Stars, a beautifully written and emotionally stirring dystopian novel about how our dreams of the future may shift as our environment changes rapidly. This is a story about the end of the world—but it is also about the beginning of something entirely new. Thoughtful, warm, and wildly prescient, this work of bright imagination promises that, no matter what the future looks like, there is always room for hope.

    Her Majesty’s Royal Coven

    by Juno Dawson

    At the dawn of their adolescence, on the eve of the summer solstice, four young girls—Helena, Leonie, Niamh, and Elle—took the oath to join Her Majesty’s Royal Coven, established by Queen Elizabeth I as a covert government department. Now, decades later, Helena is the only one of her friend group still enmeshed in the stale bureaucracy of HMRC. But when a young warlock of extraordinary capabilities is captured by the authorities, he seems to threaten the very existence of HMRC. With conflicting beliefs over the best course of action, the four friends must decide where their loyalties lie: with preserving tradition, or doing what is right.

    Trouble with the Cursed

    by Kim Harrison

    Rachel Morgan, witch-born demon, has one unspoken rule: take chances, but pay for them yourself. With it, she has turned enemies into allies, found her place with her demon kin, and stepped up as the subrosa of Cincinnati—responsible for keeping the paranormal community at peace and in line. But nothing is ever simple, and Rachel must keep her friends close—and her enemies closer—in the next Hollows novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison.

    Half Sick of Shadows

    by Laura Sebastian

    Everyone knows the legend. Of Arthur, destined to be a king. Of the beautiful Guinevere, who will betray him with his most loyal knight, Lancelot. Of the bitter sorceress, Morgana, who will turn against them all. But Elaine alone carries the burden of knowing what is to come—for Elaine of Shalott is cursed to see the future. The Lady of Shalott reclaims her story in this bold feminist reimagining of the Arthurian myth from the New York Times bestselling author of Ash Princess.

    by Mercedes Lackey

    Baron Valdemar and his people have found a temporary haven, but it cannot hold all of them, or for long. Those who are willing to make a further trek into the West will follow him into a wilderness depopulated by war and scarred by the terrible magics of a thousand years ago and the Mage Wars. But the wilderness is not as “empty” as it seems. There are potential friends and rapacious foes…and someone is watching them. The long-awaited founding of Valdemar comes to life in this second book in the new series from beloved fantasist, Mercedes Lackey.

    When the first book in the Team Psi series ended, a woman called the “Ennoia” had almost killed the prisoner Alpha, inciting a battle that had been brewing for thousands of years.

    The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

    by Sangu Mandanna

    As an isolated witch, Mika Moon knows how to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. But when an unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic, it breaks all the rules, but Mika goes anyway. As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn’t the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for…
