Wild Reverence

2025

by Rebecca Ross

Blockbuster bestseller Rebecca Ross returns to the world of international sensation Divine Rivals with her most epic story yet.

Before Iris sat at her typewriter and before Enva sang her song, a young goddess wandered dreams...

Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods kill each other for magic, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry letters through the realms, but she also carries secrets of her own: one of them deadly, the other a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met...

Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life - begging the goddess he befriended in dreams for aid. But his prayer went unanswered, forever hardening his heart against the gods. That is until the same goddess comes tumbling through his window, bearing a letter to change both their destinies.

For Matilda and Vincent are tangled together by threads of fate and the promise of a future beyond dreams, one that might rewrite the dark, blood-soaked ways of the gods...or end them.

The Forgotten Legion

2008

by Ben Kane

The Forgotten Legion is an epic Roman novel that weaves the destinies of three men and one woman, all bound in servitude to the Republic.

Romulus and Fabiola are twins, born into slavery after their mother is violated by a drunken nobleman. At the age of thirteen, they are sold off: Romulus to a gladiator school, and Fabiola into prostitution, where she captures the attention of one of the most influential men in Rome.

Tarquinius is an Etruscan warrior and soothsayer, an enemy of Rome, yet doomed to fight for the Republic in the Forgotten Legion. Brennus is a Gaul whose entire family was slain by the Romans. He rises to become one of the most renowned and feared gladiators of his time, serving as a mentor to the young slave Romulus, who yearns for escape and revenge.

Their lives are intricately intertwined in a captivating tale that begins in a Rome plagued by corruption, violence, and political strife. It concludes at the very borders of the known world, where Romulus, Brennus, and Tarquinius face the Parthians and insurmountable challenges.

Ever

Falling in love is never easy, but falling in love with an immortal god while your days on earth are numbered is almost more than a young girl can bear.

Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine has created a stunning new world of flawed gods, unbreakable vows, and ancient omens in this spellbinding story of Kezi, a girl confronted with a terrible destiny. Attempting to thwart her fate, Kezi and her love, Olus—the god of wind and loneliness—embark on a series of dangerous and seemingly impossible quests.

Lavinia

In a richly imagined and beautiful novel, an acclaimed writer gives an epic heroine her voice. The Aeneid, Virgil's hero fights to claim the king’s daughter, Lavinia, with whom he is destined to found an empire. Lavinia herself never speaks a word. Now, Ursula K. Le Guin gives Lavinia a voice in a novel that takes us to the half-wild world of ancient Italy, when Rome was a muddy village near seven hills.

Lavinia grows up knowing nothing but peace and freedom, until suitors come. Her mother wants her to marry the handsome, ambitious Turnus. But omens and prophecies spoken by the sacred springs say she must marry a foreigner—that she will be the cause of a bitter war—and that her husband will not live long. When a fleet of Trojan ships sails up the Tiber, Lavinia decides to take her destiny into her own hands.

And so she tells us what Virgil did not: the story of her life, and of the love of her life. Lavinia is a book of passion and war, generous and austerely beautiful, from a writer working at the height of her powers.

Runemarks

2007

by Joanne Harris

Master storyteller Joanne Harris has crafted a magical and epic romp—a fresh, funny, and wonderfully irreverent new take on the old Norse tales, sure to be enjoyed by readers young and old.

Seven o’clock on a Monday morning, five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again... Not that anyone would admit it was goblins.

In Maddy Smith’s world, order rules. Chaos, old gods, fairies, goblins, magic, and glamours—all of these were supposedly vanquished centuries ago. But Maddy knows that a small bit of magic has survived. The “ruinmark” she was born with on her palm proves it—and makes the other villagers fearful that she is a witch (though helpful in dealing with the goblins-in-the-cellar problem).

But the mysterious traveler One-Eye sees Maddy’s mark not as a defect, but as a destiny. And Maddy will need every scrap of forbidden magic One-Eye can teach her if she is to survive that destiny.

Panteón

Este libro es el desenlace a la trilogía de Memorias de Idhún. Tras la última batalla contra Ashran y los sheks, muchas cosas parecen haber cambiado en Idhún. Sin embargo, los Oráculos hablan de nuevo, y sus voces no son, ni mucho menos, tranquilizadoras.

Algo está a punto de suceder, algo que puede cambiar para siempre el destino de dos mundos... algo que, tal vez, ni siquiera los héroes de la profecía sean capaces de afrontar...

Evil Star

The second is a street kid in Peru. He and Matt have never met; they don't even speak the same language. But destiny is going to throw them together as the evil threat of the Old Ones grows... and another Gate suddenly comes into play.

Another masterful thriller from the supernaturally suspenseful Anthony Horowitz.
