🗡️ Daggerbound - T. Kingfisher
Four hundred years ago, three warriors were trapped inside enchanted swords, cursed to be immortal servants of whoever wielded the blade. One of them is the Dervish.
Then one day, a disillusioned scholar named Learned Edmund is tasked with delivering the sword to a distant city, and, in the greatest of peril, draws the blade. The Dervish finds himself bound to a sweet, brilliant, and above all kind young man.
🇲🇽 Medea Sang Me a Corrido - Dahlia de la Cerda
In Northern Mexico, Paulina, Perla, Antonia, Reina, and Jordan are striving to survive the barrio, hustling on the edge of a cartel-run economy, nursing the wounds made normal in a world that eats its own. Hovering over their trials is a spirit with gothic flair, dressed in black and crowned with braids : Medea, a mythic mother of the Chihuahuan desert, ancient as the Aztecs but never too old to be petty.
🌳 The Unknown - Riley Sager
Struggling actress Marin Keane is shocked when she lands a role in a major film about the unsolved mystery of New Avalon.
A century ago, New Avalon was a commune for spiritual mediums - until, in 1926, they vanished. The only trace of them left was five dresses hanging from the branches of an old oak tree.
When Marin and her castmates visit the island, they begin to realise that even now all is not right with New Avalon.
🪄 Rune : The Tale of the Winged Sorceress - Carlos Sanchez
With Dai missing, Chiri is desperately rallying her fellow adventurers on a quest to find him. But with the darkness creating a fearsome army of creatures and planning on total domination of the kingdom, finding her best friend is starting to feel impossible. With another dark herald hunting Chiri down, it's going to take every drop of magic she can summon to protect the friends she has left - and find the one she's lost.
🦣 Vanished : An Unnatural History of Extinction - Sadiah Qureshi
In Europe until the late eighteenth century, species were considered perfect and unchanging creations of God. Then in the age of revolutions, scientists gathered enough fossil evidence to determine that mammoth bones, for example, were not just large elephants but a lost species.
Yet Vanished shows us that extinction is more than a scientific idea ; it’s a political choice that has led to devasting consequences.
