So when the biggest mercenary band of them all — led by the infamous Bloody Rose — rolls into town, Tam jumps at the chance to sign on as their bard.\n\nIt's adventure she wants, and adventure she gets as the crew embark on a wild tour across the frozen north. There will be terrible monsters to slay, mountains of gold to plunder, and no shortage of glory to win. But the fame and fortune of a mercenary band comes at a deadly price, and as the shadow of an ancient enemy looms over them, Tam begins to wonder if her dreams of glory will lead them all to ruin.\n\nThe second novel in Nicholas Eames's The Band series, Bloody Rose is a rollicking, rock-and-roll-inflected epic fantasy about aging heroes, second acts, and the family you choose. Set a generation after Kings of the Wyld, it trades the old guard for a new generation of mercenaries chasing the same doomed, glorious dream.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4mmq91h7c1snbfrwst1c2.jpg","LSHy8vkW?HVs~Ws:aexawuiwRks:",2018,512,[348],{"id":349,"slug":350,"name":351},"01kjtghwczvpjw3chf499remq1","nicholas-eames-eeg6","Nicholas Eames",[353,354,355,356,357],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":17},[359],{"id":360,"slug":361,"name":362,"position":333,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjtghwes7tg2acvxzh28r5xn","the-band-hztz","The Band",{"pace":118,"complexity":7,"audience":120,"mood":364,"themes":367,"setting_period":7,"summary":368,"content_warnings":7},[122,306,365,366],"emotional","hopeful",[272,223,221],"Tam Hashford, a tavern girl aching for adventure, signs on as bard to the most famous mercenary band in the world, led by the notorious Bloody Rose.

Kuang's Babel, or the Necessity of Violence is set in an alternate 1830s Britain where the Empire's power runs on silver-working: bars of silver inscribed with matched words from two languages, engraved by trained translators to capture the meaning that is inevitably lost between them. The stronger a nation's languages and translators, the more powerful its silver — and Britain, hoarding the world's best linguists at Oxford's Royal Institute of Translation, is the most powerful nation on Earth.\n\nRobin Swift is orphaned by cholera in Canton and brought to London by Professor Richard Lovell, who spends years drilling him in classical and Chinese languages for a single purpose: Babel. There Robin finds camaraderie with three other outsiders — Ramy, a Muslim student from Calcutta; Victoire, a Haitian woman fighting to be taken seriously; and Letty, the English daughter of a naval officer — all of whom owe their place at Oxford to skills the Empire needs and does not fully respect.\n\nAs Robin is drawn deeper into Babel's work, he learns how directly the silver industry is entangled with the opium trade Britain is forcing on China, and encounters the Hermes Society, a shadowy group of dissidents working from inside the institute to sabotage the Empire's magic. The novel builds toward the question its subtitle poses directly: whether an unjust system this deeply entrenched can be reformed from within, or whether change of any real magnitude requires violence.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kvnzw5cd9pzjkqezwdzn9csq_6a3920a8a0cb8.jpg?v=d19269411c",2022,545,[540],{"id":541,"slug":542,"name":543},"01kjsvfaz4r7r5gcf7x7mqvzne","r-f-kuang-avk9","R.

To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:","3.86",320,[568],{"id":569,"slug":570,"name":571},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[573,574,575,576,580,581],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":17},{"id":249,"name":250,"slug":251,"is_fiction":17},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":577,"name":578,"slug":579,"is_fiction":17},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":416,"name":417,"slug":418,"is_fiction":17},{"id":582,"name":583,"slug":584,"is_fiction":17},210,"Noir","noir",[586],{"id":587,"slug":588,"name":589,"position":215,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":117,"complexity":7,"audience":120,"mood":591,"themes":592,"setting_period":7,"summary":562,"content_warnings":7},[268,124,123,269],[593,273,127],"unreliable-narrator",{"id":595,"slug":596,"title":597,"description":598,"primary_cover_url":599,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":600,"community_rating_avg":601,"community_rating_count":96,"page_count":602,"authors":603,"genres":612,"series":627,"enrichment":632},"01kvjmyt5axe4ch8kxg3mnwwgn","the-reckoning-qbh6","The Reckoning","The Reckoning is the third book in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's New Adult fantasy romance series Zodiac Academy, following The Awakening and The Charmer.

Then Kate finds a text on her husband's phone that changes everything: he's having an affair, and the only clue to the other woman's identity points to someone inside their tight circle.\n\nRather than confront him immediately, Kate spends the rest of the vacation quietly watching, testing, and turning over every interaction for a tell — while trying to keep the truth from unraveling the trip for everyone else. As the days pass in the heat and forced togetherness of the villa, old grievances and new suspicions surface, and it becomes clear that Kate isn't the only one hiding something.\n\nT.M. Logan's The Vacation (published in the UK as The Holiday) is a fast-paced psychological thriller about the fault lines that run under even the closest friendships, and how far people will go to protect what they can't afford to lose.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjh9zxpr4cx2nxbpgz7c8s.jpg","LSBh+rD*ngRj%%Rlj^bI00%0WYs.",374,[647],{"id":648,"slug":649,"name":650},"01kkfb0qgbr1c9vhvnn1gaxm6e","tm-logan-gobj","T.M.

Each story circles death, transformation, and the unknowable dark just beyond the tree line.\n\nCarroll's art — bold, inky, and drenched in red — makes the page itself part of the scare, using layout, negative space, and color to trap the reader inside each tale.

Recruited by the charismatic rebel Kelsier — the only man ever to survive the Lord Ruler's most feared prison — Vin joins a ragtag crew of thieves and magic-wielders in an audacious heist to steal the Lord Ruler's fortune and topple an empire that has endured for a millennium. Allomancy, the magic system at the book's heart, gives each metal a distinct power when burned, making action scenes function like strategic puzzles. Published in 2006, The Final Empire was named by TIME magazine as one of the 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjr70wgbtkjpqg3410e98thb.jpg?v=a3c928cfb4","LDHc[%s:RQxG{1WW9^ax0MSgF{WX",633,[1238],{"id":1206,"slug":1207,"name":1208},[1240,1241,1242],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":160,"name":161,"slug":162,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},[1244,1251,1252],{"id":1245,"slug":1246,"name":1247,"position":215,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":1248,"parent_slug":1249,"parent_name":1250},"01kjr70wqd3knbpxx2ge6sd1d0","mistborn-original-trilogy-o9u0","Mistborn Original Trilogy","01kjr70wqaxj3bwqth2s3esz8v","the-mistborn-saga-kd5d","The Mistborn Saga",{"id":1248,"slug":1249,"name":1250,"position":215,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":1219,"slug":1220,"name":1221,"position":333,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":117,"complexity":7,"audience":120,"mood":1254,"themes":1255,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[122,124],[916,272,271],[]]
