North Is the Night (2024)
(Tuonela Duet, book 1)
Emily Rath
"Rath recreates a folkloric Finland rife with magic and mayhem, where witches, goddesses, and two irrepressible human girls clash in epic battles of wit and heart . . . Rath's world is one I did not want to leave. Prepare to be captivated!"
Daughters of Bronze (2024)
A D Rhine
"With a powerful poetic style, reminiscent of the past, and a modern perspective, Daughters of Bronze brings the women of war-torn Troy to vibrant, luminous life. Each page sings with the strength -- and sorrow -- of four voices, four stories, coming together in one shared chorus. Their song? Nothing is impossible when women find each other and fight back."
The Witch of Colchis (2024)
Rosie Hewlett
"What's most powerful-and most heartbreaking-about Rosie Hewlett's The Witch of Colchis is its timelessness. Medea's story is 2,500 years old, but Hewlett's retelling resonates with urgency. With elegant prose and expertly crafted tension, the novel shows how years of abuse and toxicity lead to tragedy, and reminds the reader that we must offer our hand to the alone, the other, and the ostracized before it is too late."
