The Lies of Locke Lamora

From the New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie comes a delightfully bloody and raucous epic fantasy where holy work demands unholy deeds.

Europe teeters on the brink. Plague and famine grip the land, monstrous shadows lurk in every corner, and greedy princes pursue only their own ambitions. The elves are poised to return, hungry to consume all. In these dark times, sometimes the only path to light lies through the deepest shadows, where the righteous dare not tread.

Beneath the sacred splendor of the Celestial Palace lies the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency, home to a congregation of convicted monsters. Here, no sin is unforgivable, no line uncrossable, and every mission risks descending into a disastrous bloodbath.

Brother Diaz, expecting a commendation, instead finds himself tasked with binding the worst of the worst to a higher cause: Install a thief on the throne of Troy and unite a fractured church against the coming apocalypse. As he embarks on this hellish journey, Diaz will learn a valuable lesson: when you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.

Rhys Kinnick has gone off the grid. At Thanksgiving a few years back, a fed-up Rhys punched his conspiracy-theorist son-in-law in the mouth, chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, with no one around except a pack of hungry raccoons. Now Kinnick’s old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep. Can this failed husband and father, a man with no internet and a car that barely runs, reemerge into a broken world to track down his missing daughter and save his sweet, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia? With the help of his caustic ex-girlfriend, a bipolar retired detective, and his only friend (who happens to be furious with him), Kinnick heads off on a wild journey through cultural lunacy and the rubble of a life he thought he’d left behind. So Far Gone is a rollicking, razor-sharp, and moving road trip through a fractured nation, from a writer who has been called “a genius of the modern American moment” ( Philadelphia Inquirer ).

A coded message. A murdered comrade. A trail of blood leading straight to the heart of a shadowy conspiracy.

Jack Reacher is pulled back into the life he thought he left behind when a distress signal reaches him from Frances Neagley, his former Special Investigator colleague. Someone is eliminating members of their elite team, one by one.

Reuniting with the surviving members of his unit, Reacher embarks on a lethal hunt, following a web of cryptic clues across the country and into the hidden corridors of corporate power. What they uncover is a conspiracy more treacherous and far-reaching than they ever imagined, involving unthinkable sums of money and ruthless enemies who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.

Outnumbered and outgunned, Reacher and his team must rely on their razor-sharp instincts and battle-honed skills to expose the truth and bring the guilty to justice. But as the body count rises, Reacher faces a terrifying question: can he protect the people he cares about most, or will he become the next target? In a world of bad luck and trouble, Jack Reacher is the only force standing between order and oblivion.

This isn't your typical fairy tale. From award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nettle & Bone, a subversive fantasy adventure where a princess doesn't dream of marrying a prince—she plots to end him.

Marra, the quiet, convent-raised third daughter, never expected to be a hero. But after years of watching her sister suffer at the hands of a cruel and abusive prince, she realizes no one is coming to her rescue but herself. To get the tools she needs for her dangerous mission, Marra must complete three impossible tasks for a gravewitch: build a dog of bones, sew a cloak of nettles, and capture moonlight in a jar.

Joined by a disgraced knight, a reluctant fairy godmother, and a chicken possessed by a demon, Marra embarks on a perilous journey to topple a throne and save her sister, proving that even the most unlikely heroes can rise to challenge the darkest of villains.
