The Atlas Paradox

The Atlas Paradox is the long-awaited sequel to Olivie Blake’s New York Times bestselling dark academic sensation The Atlas Six—guaranteed to have even more yearning, backstabbing, betrayal, and chaos. Six magicians were presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. Five are now members of the Society. Two paths lay before them. All must pick a side. Alliances will be tested, hearts will be broken, and The Society of Alexandrians will be revealed for what it is: a secret society with raw, world-changing power, headed by a man whose plans to change life as we know it are already under way.

Preacher’s Bloody Rampage

In a North American British province, a group of Norwegian settlers have carved a life for themselves in a lakeshore village. Decker Galloway believes the land’s natural resources are being wasted on the few when so many have a greater need. He wants to turn his axes and saws loose on the untouched western region. And no villagers are going to stand in his way. But then there’s Preacher. He doesn’t mind standing in Galloway’s way. Together, Preacher and his friend, the warrior Tall Dog, will remind the Norwegians of their Viking ancestry and declare war on Galloway’s gang of murderous gunslingers—with Preacher leading the charge.

City of Laughter

Ropshitz, Poland, was once known as the City of Laughter. As this story opens, an eighteenth century jester, whose job is to bring laughter to the celebrants at a Jewish wedding, receives a visitation from a mysterious stranger. In the present day, Shiva Margolin, recovering from the heartbreak of her first queer love and grieving the death of her father, struggles to connect with her guarded mother. A student of Jewish folklore, Shiva seizes an opportunity to visit Poland, hoping her family’s mysteries will make more sense if she walks in the footsteps of her great-grandmother Mira. What she finds in Poland will make her question not only her past and her future, but also her present, a life shaped by ancestral forces that originated long before she was born.
