Darker by Four (2024)
June CL Tan
"I adored this! Darker By Four is a rich and vividly drawn world of revenants, exorcists, death gods and stolen magic. Rui, Zizi, Yiran and Nikai will all be your new favorite characters in this thrilling new fantasy from June CL Tan."

Somewhere in the Deep (2024)
Tanvi Berwah
"Thrilling, bloody and action-packed, Somewhere in the Deep is a page-turning adventure in a world full of monsters, both beast and human. Tanvi Berwah's follow-up to Monsters Born and Made is a breathtaking, fast-paced thrill ride, and I loved following the battle-scarred and fiercely brave Kress Dune as she faced the dangerous world of the deep."
