Book excerpt: From the #1 bestselling author of The Historian comes a mesmerizing novel that spans the past and the present—and unearths the troubled history of a gorgeous but haunted country. A young American woman, Alexandra Boyd, has traveled to Sofia, Bulgaria, hoping that life abroad will salve the wounds left by the loss of her beloved brother. Soon after arriving in this elegant East European city, however, she helps an elderly couple into a taxi—and realizes too late that she has accidentally kept one of their bags. Inside she finds an ornately carved wooden box engraved with a name: Stoyan Lazarov. Raising the hinged lid, she discovers that she is holding an urn filled with human ashes. As Alexandra sets out to locate the family and return this precious item, she will first have to uncover the secrets of a talented musician who was shattered by political oppression—and she will find out all too quickly that this knowledge is fraught with its own danger. Elizabeth Kostova's new novel is a tale of immense scope that delves into the horrors of a century and traverses the culture and landscape of this mysterious country. Suspenseful and beautifully written, it explores the power of stories, the pull of the past, and the hope and meaning that can sometimes be found in the aftermath of loss. Praise for The Shadow Land "A compelling and complex mystery, strong storytelling, and lyrical writing combine for an engrossing read."—Publishers Weekly "In The Shadow Land, Elizabeth Kostova, a master storyteller, brings vividly to life an unfamiliar country—Bulgaria—and a painful history that feels particularly relevant now. You won't want to put down this remarkable book."—Claire Messud, author of The Woman Upstairs "In this brilliant work, what appears at first a minor mystery quickly becomes emblematic of a whole country's hidden history. Lyrical and compelling, The Shadow Land proves a profound meditation on how evil is inflicted, endured, and, through courage and compassion, defeated. Elizabeth Kostova's third novel clearly establishes her as one of America's finest writers."—Ron Rash, author of The Risen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Robin has splendidly captured the quintessential spirit of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Somewhere in Lankhmar, Fritz is smiling" (Dennis L. McKiernan, national bestselling author). Lankhmar, an ancient and decadent city of magic, where witches and sorcerers scheme, where gods and ghosts walk the streets and shadow-haunted alleys, where violence and death dance together like lovers in the darkness. Lankhmar–a city of plague! Years ago, two rogues bound together by friendship and a shared destiny neither understood met in Lankhmar. Living by their swords, their wits and their daring, they sought adventure and love. Adventure they found, but love–they lost. In despair, they left the city, vowing never to return. Yet vows are made to be broken. Once again, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are drawn back to Lankhmar and quickly ensnared in its wizard-games as one jealous mage turns on his rivals and unleashes a black force not even he can control, a power that threatens the city itself. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, two of the greatest and most beloved characters in fantasy literature, return in this novel-length adventure by Nebula Award nominated author Robin Wayne Bailey. Swords Against the Shadowland, authorized by series creator Fritz Leiber, is a direct sequel to Leiber's famous story, "Ill-Met in Lankhmar!" Named one of the six best fantasy novels of 1998 by the Science Fiction Chronicle.

Book excerpt: Isn't true love a wonderful thing? Rags to Riches and Paupers to Kings. A wish. A dream. The good always win. But don't look too closely, or the fae might creep in... Everyone knows how folk tales are supposed to go: a hero, a heroine, a kiss and a wedding. Happily ever after and on to the next one. But what most people don't know is why these stories always seem to have the same characters, the same plots, and the same endings. The truth is, so-called 'fairy stories' are the product of a totalitarian fae government. These formulaic plots aren't accidental, they are designed. Every evil witch, every poisoned apple and every deadly spinning wheel; every happily ever after, every true love's kiss and every knight in shining armour - all are the products of the General Administration, and if there's one thing the GenAm hates, it's unscripted behaviour. So when Bea, a lowly cabbage fairy, decides she wants more for herself than a bit-part role, all hell breaks loose. Suddenly Bea finds herself at the centre of a whole heap of trouble, and any mistake could have her hauled up in front of the sinister and secretive Redaction Department, where she'll face a fare much worse than death. Can Bea overthrow the General Administration, save her friends and - maybe - come out on top? After all, does anyone ever really get a happy ending? This box set brings together the first three books in the bestselling Pathways Tree series, The Fairy's Tale, The Academy, and The Princess And The Orrery. If you like your fantasy with a dash of dystopia and characters you can fall in love with, The Pathways Tree series is for you! Please note The Pathways Tree series is written in British English.
