THE GUARDIANS OF DREAMDARK: WINDWITCH
(Book 1, Collector’s Edition)
by Laini Taylor
Amulet Books/Abrams, September 2025

For centuries faeries have lived safely in their ancient forests, but now their peace is under threat. Devils are escaping the prisons that have held them since the Dawn Days, and only one faerie stands in their way.

Magpie Windwitch is the greatest—the only—devil-hunter of the Age. Together with her trusted band of crows, she tracks down and recaptures these ravenous beasts that devour everything in their path.

When the hunt leads them to the legendary forest of Dreamdark, Magpie finds herself outmatched. Facing the greatest foe her kind has ever known (not to mention an imposter queen, a disgusting imp, and a young faerie warrior as infuriating as he is brave), one thing is certain: If she’s to save the world, she’ll need all the help she can get.

Bestselling author Laini Taylor’s thrilling first novel is now available for the first time for a new generation of fans.

CAN’T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING
by Erin A. Craig

Everyone in the world has heard of Holly in Everhallow. They’ve read the books—or at least listened to the radio broadcasts. But very few people know the real little girl behind the stories—Holiday Harris. Holiday never asked to be a muse for Holly’s creator, Herbert Atkinson, and she certainly never dreamed of the fame that came along with any of it.

Fifteen years have passed and now, as an adult, Holiday is entirely unrecognizable as her beloved counterpart. After Herbert’s death in 1974, Holiday returns to California, renting a room at the Chateau Marmont, keen on building a life as far removed from Everhallow as she can get. There she meets Brett Barten, notoriously private but endlessly celebrated, who seems to have struck a perfect balance flickering in and out of the spotlight in a way that greatly appeals to Holiday. He’s witty and razor smart and, best of all, he’s never read Holly. Their courtship is dazzling and intense and when Brett dies tragically on the morning of their wedding, Holiday is consumed by grief. Nothing can pull her from the fog until she’s summoned to the office of the Barten family’s attorney. Days before the wedding, Brett altered his will, leaving nearly all his estate—including a Big Sur cabin purchased as a surprise honeymoon gift—to Holiday. Upon first impression, the cabin is an idyllic dream. But everything at the cabin is not what it seems, and a darker truth slowly reveals itself.

SISTER, BUTCHER, SISTER de KD Aldyn

The chilling prose of Karin Slaughter meets the high-stakes plotting of The Butcher and the Wren in a dark debut following three normal sisters, their own forgotten traumas, and the serial killer that lives within one, begging the question: can you ever truly recognize the evil around you?

SISTER, BUTCHER, SISTER
by KD Aldyn
Poisoned Pen Press/Sourcebooks, June 2025

Three sisters. One killer. Which one is SHE?

The Rowling sisters have always been people you can understand – with partners and children, homes and dreams. And secrets, the sisters have those too. But when Kate, the eldest, finally returns to buy her late grandfather’s home, the dark things each sister has kept buried soon rise to the surface.

Is Kate having unexplained visions tied to a past she can hardly recall? Is Aurora, the married mother of two, finally acting out in the face of her sisters’ indiscretions? Is Peggy, the youngest and a recovering addict, able to move on from the memories that haunt her?

And then there’s SHE.

SHE is one of them, but SHE is not like them at all. SHE is defined only by the carnage she lets the world see, the murders that have swept through their coastal community. And as the police close in on their newest serial killer, scrutiny lands on the Rowlings, forcing them to face their demons and reveal all they have kept hidden.

KD Aldyn lives everywhere and nowhere (home is where the Wi-Fi is). She most often wears black (and sometimes red) and sometimes dances like Elaine from Seinfeld. SISTER, BUTCHER, SISTER is her debut.

A detective’s ghost investigates his own unsolved murder in this Japanese modern crime classic.

GHOST DETECTIVE
by Alice Arisugawa
Pushkin Press, Autumn 2026

The beach at night. A detective by the name of Tatsuya Kanzaki is summoned by his division chief and killed, but his lingering attachments and bewilderment at his sudden murder leave him unable to pass onto the next world.

Unfortunately, nobody can see Kanzaki—not his killer, Kyodo, nor his fiancée, Sumako—nobody except Hayakawa, his psychic junior.

While investigating his own murder through Hayakawa’s powers, Kyodo is found dead in a locked room. His death can only mean one thing. Somebody else is the mastermind behind Kanzaki’s murder…

Step by step, Kanzaki and Hayakawa inch closer to the truth. But reaching closure means passing on, and Kanzaki must brace himself for his final goodbyes.
