Hired to investigate a nobleman's missing daughter, the pair travel to the crumbling old-world city of Rochelle, where imperial pretenders, hidden magic, and buried history collide.\n\nWidely regarded as one of the most action-packed and atmospheric entries in the Riyria books, the novel blends a self-contained detective mystery with the character-driven banter and moral complexity fans expect. Newcomers can read it as a standalone caper, while longtime readers will find threads that enrich the wider world of Elan.\n\nSullivan's clean, propulsive prose and tightly plotted intrigue make this a strong entry point into secondary-world fantasy that prizes friendship, wit, and hard choices.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxkt0jqzm00bds1aqj8zcsvv.jpg?v=78ce43fb2a","LE7B$ObFIpoLysjtoJbHR+j[oMbH",2017,453,[170],{"id":20,"slug":21,"name":22},[172,173,174,175,176,180],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":17},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":17},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":17},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":17},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":107,"mood":183,"themes":185,"setting_period":7,"summary":187,"content_warnings":7},[109,111,184],"mysterious",[113,186],"anti-hero","When Gabriel Winter's daughter vanishes and is presumed dead, the wealthy Colnoran whiskey baron wants blood.

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",545,[532],{"id":533,"slug":534,"name":535},"01kjsvfaz4r7r5gcf7x7mqvzne","r-f-kuang-avk9","R.

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.","4.00",374,[648],{"id":649,"slug":650,"name":651},"01kkfb0qgbr1c9vhvnn1gaxm6e","tm-logan-gobj","T.M.

When a museum field trip goes violently wrong, he learns the truth: he is a demigod, the son of the Greek sea god Poseidon, and the monsters of myth are very real. Whisked to Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for children of the gods on Long Island, he begins to understand a world hidden just behind the mortal one. But his arrival coincides with crisis. Zeus's master lightning bolt has been stolen, and the king of the gods blames Percy. With war among the Olympians looming, Percy is given ten days to find the real thief and return the bolt before the summer solstice. He sets out across the United States with two companions: Annabeth, a sharp daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr charged with his protection. Their road trip becomes a gauntlet of mythological dangers, leading at last to the Underworld and a confrontation that reveals a deeper conspiracy stirring beneath the squabbles of the gods. Narrated in Percy's wry, self-deprecating voice, the story blends fast adventure with a coming-of-age tale about belonging, absent fathers, and finding strength in the very traits that once made him an outsider.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjq7049qcg11z610wza9dmq3.jpg?v=89d28575db","L6BNGw8J01MK@]IBIotj01:l_0XS",2005,"4.69",381,[1029,1033],{"id":1030,"slug":1031,"name":1032},"01kjq6ytzca6r9gws87z252tme","rick-riordan-nule","Rick Riordan",{"id":1034,"slug":1035,"name":1036},"01kjqdn8qr3x65mg598r607g66","robert-venditti-utrh","Robert Venditti",[1038,1039,1040,1041,1042,1043,1044,1045,1046],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":395,"name":396,"slug":397,"is_fiction":17},{"id":715,"name":716,"slug":717,"is_fiction":17},{"id":720,"name":721,"slug":722,"is_fiction":17},{"id":301,"name":302,"slug":303,"is_fiction":17},{"id":260,"name":261,"slug":262,"is_fiction":17},{"id":390,"name":391,"slug":392,"is_fiction":17},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":17},[1048,1052],{"id":1049,"slug":1050,"name":1051,"position":314,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01KV9A5N153HSJ7M2Y68DECSXB","percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-9eqw","Percy Jackson and the Olympians",{"id":1053,"slug":1054,"name":1055,"position":314,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq704je8bxpz7x6d8f852rs","percy-jackson-and-the-olympians-snon","Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Graphic Novels",{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":407,"mood":1057,"themes":1058,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[109,152,409],[277,156,157,158],{"id":1060,"slug":1061,"title":1062,"description":1063,"primary_cover_url":1064,"cover_blurhash":1065,"first_publish_year":1066,"community_rating_avg":1067,"community_rating_count":454,"page_count":1068,"authors":1069,"genres":1071,"series":1077,"enrichment":1080},"01kjr2vhfy6x9yawrfb7e1b992","the-sea-of-monsters-b4tc","The Sea of Monsters","Percy's quiet seventh-grade year shatters when a dodgeball game turns into a monster ambush and a new friend, the awkward and powerful Tyson, turns out to be more than he seems. Worse news waits at Camp Half-Blood: the magical pine tree that shields the camp's borders has been poisoned, leaving its defenses failing and monsters slipping through. Only one thing can heal it, the legendary Golden Fleece, hidden somewhere in the treacherous waters of the Sea of Monsters. With Grover missing and a rival demigod already dispatched on the official quest, Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson set out on an unauthorized rescue of their own. Their voyage carries them through waters teeming with mythological perils, from a luxury-cruise nightmare to the enchantress Circe's island to the deadly song of the Sirens, all while Percy grapples with a more personal shock: Tyson is a Cyclops, and his half-brother. The journey forces Percy to confront his embarrassment over family, to reckon with prejudice and loyalty, and to learn that strength comes in unexpected forms. Lighter and faster than its predecessor while deepening the saga's central mysteries, the book sets ominous pieces in motion as the threat of the Titan lord Kronos grows clearer and a long-buried prophecy edges closer to its hour.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4b1mrnpzp6s4yf7yy0jn6.jpg","LCF}cQmT0#5R-AM}t6$g1hM|}?$g",2006,"4.22",292,[1070],{"id":1030,"slug":1031,"name":1032},[1072,1073,1074,1075,1076],{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":395,"name":396,"slug":397,"is_fiction":17},{"id":301,"name":302,"slug":303,"is_fiction":17},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":17},[1078,1079],{"id":1049,"slug":1050,"name":1051,"position":89,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"id":1053,"slug":1054,"name":1055,"position":89,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":407,"mood":1081,"themes":1082,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[109,152,409],[156,157,158,1083],"road-trip",{"key":1085,"params":1086,"works":1087},"genre",{"genre":32},[1088,1130,1167,1198,1229,1262],{"id":1089,"slug":1090,"title":1091,"description":1092,"primary_cover_url":1093,"cover_blurhash":1094,"first_publish_year":249,"community_rating_avg":1095,"community_rating_count":715,"page_count":1096,"authors":1097,"genres":1102,"series":1122,"enrichment":1127},"01kjq6xfxmjv1fn3p3j0n03mk4","twilight-mjap","Twilight","When seventeen-year-old Isabella \"Bella\" Swan leaves sunny Phoenix to live with her father in the perpetually rain-soaked town of Forks, Washington, she expects little more than a dull, gray exile. Instead she becomes fascinated by Edward Cullen, a strikingly beautiful and aloof classmate who seems to alternate between saving her life and warning her away from him.\n\nAs Bella pieces together the truth about Edward and his family, she realizes he is a vampire — one who has chosen to resist human blood, but whose very nature makes loving her dangerous. Their bond deepens into an intense, all-consuming romance, even as Bella learns that not every vampire shares the Cullens' restraint, and that being close to Edward may cost her everything.\n\nThe first book in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster Twilight Saga, this is a moody, atmospheric teen romance about desire, danger, and the pull between what we want and what is safe. Told in Bella's earnest first-person voice, it launched a global phenomenon and defined a generation of paranormal romance.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz49bf0vzqzyc14gkdvamkn.jpg","LVMtN?f6_Nt7?bj[-pRj%gt7=|WB","3.60",498,[1098],{"id":1099,"slug":1100,"name":1101},"01kjq6xfxt84s0z7pvwvj5jd4g","stephenie-meyer-xeho","Stephenie Meyer",[1103,1104,1105,1106,1110,1111,1112,1113,1117,1121],{"id":715,"name":716,"slug":717,"is_fiction":17},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1107,"name":1108,"slug":1109,"is_fiction":17},61,"YA","ya",{"id":260,"name":261,"slug":262,"is_fiction":17},{"id":106,"name":897,"slug":898,"is_fiction":17},{"id":619,"name":620,"slug":621,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1114,"name":1115,"slug":1116,"is_fiction":17},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":1118,"name":1119,"slug":1120,"is_fiction":17},216,"Vampire","vampire",{"id":98,"name":503,"slug":504,"is_fiction":17},[1123],{"id":1124,"slug":1125,"name":1126,"position":314,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjstjx0xgn83amye43a8smy4","the-twilight-saga-q4lm","The Twilight Saga",{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":274,"mood":1128,"themes":1129,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[633,184,110],[1016],{"id":1131,"slug":1132,"title":1133,"description":1134,"primary_cover_url":1135,"cover_blurhash":1136,"first_publish_year":249,"community_rating_avg":1137,"community_rating_count":1138,"page_count":1139,"authors":1140,"genres":1142,"series":1158,"enrichment":1164},"01kjraz3k6a5cn5f1x6vhwarmv","city-of-bones-zvhi","City of Bones","When Clary Fray discovers a hidden world of demon hunters, her ordinary life is turned upside down.

She has her own reason for being there — a missing friend, a debt she means to repay — and she is prepared to lie to everyone, including the wolf now watching her every move. The trouble is that Lowe sees more than she expects, and the longer she stays inside his territory, the harder it becomes to tell strategy from feeling.\n\nThe first book in Ali Hazelwood's paranormal Bride series, this is a fated-mates romance wrapped around vampire-and-werewolf politics: sharp banter, slow-building heat, and a heroine who trusts no one.

Left behind and heartbroken, Bella sinks into a numb, months-long depression — until she rekindles a close friendship with Jacob Black, whose warmth begins to pull her back toward life.\n\nBut Jacob is hiding secrets of his own, and as Bella is drawn deeper into the supernatural world she thought she'd left behind, she discovers that the Quileute legends are more than stories. When a reckless act puts her on a collision course with an ancient and merciless vampire authority, Bella must decide how far she will go for the people she loves.\n\nNew Moon deepens the saga's central love triangle and its themes of loss, longing, and belonging, trading some of the first book's swoon for a darker, more melancholy tone.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5tkca31k0cjfmtc1bqgr4.jpg","L35XJs#m0eO?=ysAI:OX0eS#^kn4","4.14",580,[1272],{"id":1099,"slug":1100,"name":1101},[1274,1275,1276,1277,1278,1279,1280,1281,1282],{"id":98,"name":503,"slug":504,"is_fiction":17},{"id":715,"name":716,"slug":717,"is_fiction":17},{"id":619,"name":620,"slug":621,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1107,"name":1108,"slug":1109,"is_fiction":17},{"id":260,"name":261,"slug":262,"is_fiction":17},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":17},{"id":106,"name":897,"slug":898,"is_fiction":17},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":17},{"id":1118,"name":1119,"slug":1120,"is_fiction":17},[1284],{"id":1124,"slug":1125,"name":1126,"position":89,"is_main_entry":17,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":105,"complexity":7,"audience":274,"mood":1286,"themes":1287,"setting_period":7,"summary":1289,"content_warnings":7},[737,153,633,110],[1288,1016],"love-triangle","Bella Swan is left devastated when the Cullens leave Forks, and slowly finds comfort in a deepening friendship with Jacob Black — who carries supernatural secrets of his own.
