Terry Brooks continues the saga of Shannara with Witch Wraith – coming soon!

Young Elf Arling Elessedil possesses the enchanted means to close a breached barrier and once more seal the denizens of the Forbidding in their prison. But when she falls into the hands of the powerful Federation's di­abolical Prime Minister, her efforts may be doomed. Only her determined sister, Aphen, who bears the Elfstones and commands their magic, has any hope of saving Arling from the hideous fate her captor has in store.

Meanwhile, Railing Ohmsford – desperate to save his imprisoned brother – seeks to discover if his famed but ill-fated ancestor Grianne is still alive and willing to help him save the world. . . no matter the odds or the consequences.

Releasing next month Magician's End by Raymond E. Feist finally discloses the fate of the black magician, as well as the entire realm.

Prophecy becomes truth in the last book of the Riftwar Cycle. The dragons are calling…Civil war is tearing apart the Kingdom of the Isles, for the throne lies empty and rivals are converging. Having spirited his beloved Princess Stephane safely out of Roldem, Hal – now Duke of Crydee – must turn his attention to the defence of the ancient realm so that a king can be anointed by the Congress of Lords, rather than by right of might. But the greatest threat may well lie out of the hands of men…

Somewhere in the Grey Towers Mountains something not of this world is emerging. It will require that alliances be made between mortal enemies if disaster is to be averted. Elves and men must stand together, ancient heroes must rise again, dragons must fly and Pug, Magnus and the other magic-users of Midkemia must be prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice if the whole world is to be saved.

Magician's End releases May 9th – pre-order now to secure your copy!

Sylvia Day's exciting adventures continue with Entwined with You as Eva and Gideon face the demons of their pasts and accept the consequences of their obsessive desires . . .

From the moment I first met Gideon Cross, I recognized something in him that I needed. Something I couldn't resist. I also saw the dangerous and damaged soul inside – so much like my own. I was drawn to it. I needed him as surely as I needed my heart to beat.

No one knows how much he risked for me. How much I'd been threatened, or just how dark and desperate the shadow of our pasts would become.

Entwined by our secrets, we tried to defy the odds. We made our own rules and surrendered completely to the exquisite power of possession…
