Wind and Truth

Wind and Truth is the explosive climax to the first arc of the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece, The Stormlight Archive, by acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.

Desperate fighting continues worldwide: Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

Dive into a lush, standalone fantasy, set in the same world as The Drowned Woods and The Bone Houses, about a deadly competition—perfect for fans of Holly Black and Erin A. Craig.

Every five years, two kingdoms take part in a Wild Hunt. Joining is a bloody risk and even the most qualified hunters can suffer the deadliest fates. Still, hundreds gamble their lives to participate—all vying for the Hunt’s life-changing prize: a magical wish granted by the Otherking.

BRANWEN possesses a gift no other human has: the ability to see and slay monsters. She’s desperate to cure her mother’s sickness, and the Wild Hunt is her only option.

GWYDION is the least impressive of his magically-talented family, but with his ability to control plants and his sleight of hand, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep his cruel older brother from becoming a tyrant.

PRYDERI is prince-born and monster-raised. Deep down, the royal crown doesn’t interest him—all he wants is to know is where he belongs.

If they band together against the monstrous creatures within the woods, they have a chance to win. But, then again, nothing is guaranteed when all is fair in love and the Hunt.

The Anthropologists

Asya and Manu, a young couple, find themselves envisioning a future in a foreign city as they look at apartments. They ponder over the life they wish to create. Can they establish their own traditions and rituals? Whom will they consider family?

Asya, a documentarian, spends her days gathering footage from a neighborhood park, like an anthropologist studying local customs. Her grandmother's words echo in her mind, questioning her focus on the mundane when she was named for an entire continent. Meanwhile, life in Asya and Manu's home countries goes on—parents age, grandparents fall ill, and nieces and nephews grow up, all just out of their reach.

Yet, the world they are creating in their new city expands, becoming something distinctly theirs. As they broaden the horizons of their lives, they are faced with decisions about what and whom to hold onto, and what must be released. Acclaimed by authors such as Lauren Groff and Marina Abramovic, The Anthropologists by Aysegul Savas is a soulful, often humorous, exploration of modern relationships and the quest for a place to call home.

None of this matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls.

When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to save him — and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max's happiness or Budo's very existence.

Narrated by Budo, a character with a unique ability to have a foot in many worlds—imaginary, real, child, and adult—Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend touches on the truths of life, love, and friendship as it races to a heartwarming… and heartbreaking conclusion.

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is a memoir by Jeanette Winterson that is both witty and fierce, taking readers on an emotional journey of belonging, love, identity, and the search for a mother.

Jeanette Winterson, known for her acclaimed novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, shares her life story in this celebratory and tough-minded narrative.

Winterson's journey takes her through madness and back as she searches for her biological mother, confronting the painful past she thought she'd left behind. This memoir also explores the power of literature, illustrating how fiction and poetry can form a string of guiding lights, a life raft that supports us when we are sinking.

Shen Tai, son of an illustrious general serving the Emperor of Kitai, has spent two years honoring the memory of his late father by burying the bones of the dead from both armies at the site of one of his father's last great battles. In recognition of his labors and his filial piety, an unlikely source has sent him a dangerous gift: 250 Sardian horses.

You give a man one of the famed Sardian horses to reward him greatly. You give him four or five to exalt him above his fellows, propel him towards rank, and earn him jealousy, possibly mortal jealousy.
