$38.95
From New York Times bestselling author of the Empire of the Vampire and Empire of the Damned, Jay Kristoff, comes the epic conclusion to the #1 internationally bestselling series.
From holy cup comes holy light;
The faithful hand sets world aright.
And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight,
Mere man shall end this endless night.
Gabriel de León has lost his family, his faith, and his last hope of ending the endless night—his surrogate daughter, Dior. With no desire left but vengeance, he and a band of loyal brothers journey into the war-torn heart of the Augustin Empire to claim the life of the Forever King.
Unbeknownst to the Last Silversaint, the Grail still lives—speeding towards Augustin’s besieged capital in the frail hope of ending Daysdeath forever. But deadly treachery awaits within the halls of power, and the Forever King’s legions march ever closer. Gabriel and Dior will be drawn into a final battle that will shape the very fate of the Empire, but as the sun sets for what may the last time, there will be no-one left for them to trust.
Not even each other.

But even the Silver Order couldn't stem the tide once daylight failed us, and now, only Gabriel remains. Imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story.

*SIGNED* With Stars in Her Eyes by Andie Burke
$22.95
ABOUT THE BOOK:
A sapphic bookstore romance about fresh starts and finding that one person who feels like home.
Seconds from a meteoric career launch, cellist Courtney Starling suffers a frightening migraine attack during a key performance. While harmful rumors fly, she escapes to her happy place—her best friend’s Kansas bookshop. Courtney’s working incognito when a scream sends her leaping off a shelving ladder to find the woman who screamed cowering near the register.
When Thea Quinn dropped in for a misdelivered package, she did not expect a mortifying encounter with a bearded dragon in front of an inconveniently attractive bookseller. Clutching an upcoming book club flyer and the tattered shreds of her dignity, she heads back to her new piercing job at the tattoo shop next door. She moved to this quirky place for a fresh start. But maybe the meet-disaster was a sign? Maybe Thea needs to branch out beyond her photography hobby and connect with new people…like at a historical romance book club run by a particularly mysterious and sexy bookseller with a pixie cut?
Friendly lunches become stolen moments between the bookshelves. Courtney and Thea's old problems feel ages away. But just as their chemistry heats to a combustion point, consequences from Courtney’s past arrive literally on her doorstep at exactly the wrong moment. New revelations and surprising connections take the pair from feeling joyfully lovestruck to confusingly star-crossed. Both women must decide what they’re willing to give up for happily ever after.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Andie Burke writes books with queer kissing and happily ever afters. She was originally an English major who decided to jump into a pediatric nursing career. Her writing is inspired by over a decade spent working in hospitals with patients of all ages. After the last couple years spent in the pandemic ER, she escaped to an outpatient pediatric sedation unit. Andie lives in a blue house in Maryland with an alarming number of books and an embarrassing number of ultra-fine point pens. When she’s not writing, she’s probably feeding snacks to the two small human creatures who live with her or trying not to kill her chaotic houseplants. You can find her on Bookstagram adding to her ever-expanding TBR or letting her ADHD brain happily dissociate while listening to Taylor Swift.
Bluebird Gold by Devney Perry (Dec 30, 2025)
$18.95
PREORDER INCLUDES SIGNED BOOKPLATE
In this slow-burn romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Devney Perry, a small-town teacher and the local sheriff get caught up in passion, mystery, and a brutal Big Sky Country winter.
Dalton, Montana-1983.
After her father's sudden death, Ilsa Poe returns to her hometown to get his affairs in order. Taking a job at the high school, she settles into the old family cabin for the time being, no intention of staying too long. It's simply a temporary means to an end.
Then she meets Sheriff Cosi Raynes, and Ilsa starts to wonder whether she should make her move permanent. He and his son could be the purpose she's been searching for, the answers to all her old doubts and pain. And maybe she could be what they need too.
But someone doesn't want Ilsa to find what she's looking for. Closure, peace, the truth about what really happened to her father-it all comes at a price. And as local legends intertwine with bona fide threats, Ilsa must make a choice. Is the cost of asking questions really worth her weight in gold . . . or her heart?
Devney Perry is the #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon bestselling author of over fifty romance novels. After working in the technology industry for a decade, she abandoned conference calls and project schedules to pursue her passion for writing. Born and raised in Montana, she now lives in Washington with her husband and two sons.
