The INSTANT New York Times bestseller!

Available for the first time in audio, this recording of Blood of Hercules features four narrators! The overnight viral sensation everyone is talking about, Blood of Hercules is a sarcastically funny, dark fantasy romance reimagining of Hercules from bestselling author Jasmine Mas.

I’m just a girl. And it turns out, I’m Hercules.

I’m struggling to survive in a Titan infested world where Spartans, immortals from twelve royal families who have god-like powers and obscene wealth, rule over all. A shy-stammering foster child with nothing, I keep my head down, cover my scars, and focus on excelling in school. At least, I try to. Then it happens.

My blood test reveals I’m part of the powerful elite. I’m one of them. A Spartan.

Forced to attend the Spartan War Academy, I undergo the most harrowing test of all time to see if I have what it takes to be an immortal. There’s just a few problems. Achilles and Patro are my scary mentors. Kharon, the ferryman of death, and Augustus, the son of war, are my terrifying professors. Also, I’m pretty sure either someone’s stalking me everywhere I go, or my sanity’s slipping––I have a bad feeling both are true.

I’m surrounded by Villains and they’re smothering me with their hate, obsession, and dark possessiveness. Too bad for them, they have no clue just who they’re messing with.

But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.

Each culture has its own myths and legends, but only one is shared, and it is feared by all.

With Age of Myth, Age of Swords, and New York Times bestselling Age of War, fantasy master Michael J. Sullivan riveted readers with a tale of unlikely heroes locked in a desperate battle to save mankind.

After years of warfare, humanity has gained the upper hand and has pushed the Fhrey to the edge of their homeland but no farther. Now comes the pivotal moment. Persephone's plan to use the stalemate to seek peace is destroyed by an unexpected betrayal that threatens to hand victory to the Fhrey and leaves a loved one in peril.

Humanity's only hope lies in the legend of a witch, a forgotten song, and a simple garden door.

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything.

They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth.

But a storm is coming … and not everyone can survive its wrath.

I was ordered to marry her, but soon she is all I can think about.

DAMARIS: Married by proxy to Warlord Vandor to ensure the safety of my father's kingdom, I'm kidnapped before I even meet my groom. But when he rides to my rescue, he is more than I could have ever dreamed of in a man, and I can hardly believe my good luck.

But I should have known that there is always a price to pay for happiness.

VANDOR: I never thought to find a worthy mate within the barely tolerated human species on our planet, but when I lay eyes on Damaris, my world changes. She is not only beautiful but also witty and resourceful and soon I can't imagine a life without her.

Our planet is at war though and evil forces try to drive us apart.

Cole made the ultimate sacrifice to save me . . . but I'm not letting him go that easily.

All my life, the only thing I ever wanted was to belong—and then I found him, in my afterlife. A male who infuriated me with his taunts and secret-keeping yet won both my heart and my wolf's.

If he thinks I'll let him go that easily, he's wrong. Even if I have to travel to the deepest pits of Tartarus and sell my soul to get him back, I will have him by my side again. Or there'll be Hell to pay . . .

Contains mature themes.

Abbey Lennox is legally blind...and extremely lonely. A rare form of optic neuropathy has taken most of her vision and her blindness made her a target for a killer. After barely escaping a vicious attack, she's vowed never to take another chance on love. So when an enormous Monstrum warrior claims she is his fated mate and rightful bride, she wants nothing to do with him. Solon is a Chimera Monstrum with the ability to sense the emotions of those he is attuned to. When he touches Abbey's hand, he understands that she fears him but he doesn't know why. He only knows that he has to find a way to gain her trust and make her understand that he wants to love and protect her. Despite Abbey's fear of him, Solon claims her and after some time, trust begins to grow. But when an evil from her past comes back to haunt them, will the Monstrum warrior be able to keep his new bride safe? Will Abbey escape death a second time and if so, will she allow herself to be...Chosen by the Chimera? ***Author's Warning-there is a pet death in this book, but it happens in the past and mostly off-screen. The female main character is also a survivor of SA, which also happens in the past and off-screen.

A wish whisks me away to Faerie, where I have magic! And a "married at first sight" orc husband.

Stuck slinging pizzas in the deadest of dead-end jobs, I make a wish. In a blink, I'm teetering on top of a standing stone in Faerie, where I have magical powers!

And monsters fighting over me!

Thank god, the orc wins. A fierce and deadly warrior, Rovann's nothing but gentle with me.

I'm stunned when he claims me as his moon bound bride, saying we're already magically matched and married. I never imagined being wed to a stranger, even one who makes my heart flutter. When I tell him humans don’t work like that, Rovann vows to woo me.

No matter what it takes.

‘An ingenious fantasy about empire’

GUARDIAN

Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.

Oxford, 1836.

The city of dreaming spires.

It is the centre of all knowledge and progress in the world.

And at its centre is Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation. The tower from which all the power of the Empire flows.

Orphaned in Canton and brought to England by a mysterious guardian, Babel seemed like paradise to Robin Swift.

Until it became a prison…

But can a student stand against an empire?

An incendiary new novel from award-winning author R.F. Kuang about the power of language, the violence of colonialism, and the sacrifices of resistance.

'A masterpiece that resonates with power and knowledge. BABEL is a stark picture of the cruelty of empire, a distillation of dark academia, and a riveting blend of fantasy and historical fiction – a monumental achievement’

Samantha Shannon, author of THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE

Delve into the heart of an alternative UK, where Babel reigns as a top entry among gaslamp fantasy books. It's a great, bestselling read, peppered with the essence of urban exploration and thrilling action, an adventure that will leave you breathless and wanting more. For fans of Rebecca Yarros (Iron Flame), Leigh Bardungo (Six of Crows), Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings) and Olivie Blake (The Atlas Six) and Samantha Shannon (The Priory of the Orange Tree).
