Fellas, is it OK to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?

Juniper O’Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine.

Everything else – taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labour – falls to Juniper’s best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn. But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he’s finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping. He hates the dark. And there’s no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach.

One thing he doesn’t hate? How good Mo’s thighs look in his questing pants. He doesn’t have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line. But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they’re off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending.

A charming, timely, and emotionally resonant LGBTQIA+ cosy fantasy about the importance of community and mental health.

What happens to all the mind-controlled minions when the evil villain is finally vanquished?

They move to the country, become farmers, fall in love… And finally find a safe place to heal.

When Oaklin Nettlewood accidentally joined an evil world-ending cult, mind control magic forced them to do unspeakable things. Years later, the realm’s heroes have finally saved the day, defeated the villain, and shattered the last remnants of the spell…leaving destruction in their wake. And so, with a spell-damaged memory and a whole bushel of trauma, Oaklin escapes to a small farm on the edge of Mossley’s Rest. And swears an oath: After all the things they were forced to do with their magic, they will never use it again.

Ever. The no-nonsense ghost granny who lives in Oaklin’s house has other ideas. As she coaxes Oaklin out of their shell and back into the world, they find companionship (a grumpy horse and a very good dog) and friendship (a local bard and magical baker who should just kiss already). And tentative romance (a paladin-librarian who makes Oaklin’s heart come alive for the first time in ages).

Magic even seems possible again. Though, it’s strictly for foraging magical mushrooms and protecting the farm from bugs. Healing comes in gentle waves, and Oaklin doesn’t have to do it alone. So what does it mean when an inquisitor comes to town to hunt former cultists just as Oaklin begins to think that maybe, just maybe, they deserve a happy ending after all?

Welcome home, weary traveller.

Tropes: Cosy Fantasy. Queer Romantasy. Magical Countryside. LGBTQIA+. Perfect for fans of  T. Kingfisher and Travis Baldree.

Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens.

From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams. Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions.

But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.

As Fraywell’s self-proclaimed villainess, Iris needs a fearsome enforcer. Instead, she gets Talon: a half-orc as sweet as the cookies he bakes – and just as irresistible.

Iris Weyward wants to be bad. Truly bad. Terrifyingly, gloriously villainous.

But after helping her sisters unleash a spell to throw the realm into chaos, Iris is left feeling strangely empty. And not at all like the villain of her dreams. So, she sets off for the quiet town of Fraywell to build her wicked legacy alone. Things start promisingly: a crooked little cottage, a reputation for curses and potions, and a healthy dose of fear from the locals.

But when her ogre bodyguard disappears, Iris needs new muscle. Good thing a fearsome orc just toppled over in her yard. Naturally, she decides to reanimate him.

It’s a perfect solution. Only, Talon isn’t the brooding warrior she was hoping for. He’s gentle. He bakes. Worst of all, he’s nice. But Iris can’t possibly have a thing for her new employee. She’s supposed to be the most wicked witch in town!

While Iris struggles to turn Talon into the enforcer she deserves, her sisters arrive seeking help. Their magic is fading, and the cause may be closer than any of them realise. The timing couldn’t be worse, and falling for an orc wasn’t supposed to be part of her villain era. But love might turn out to be the best spell she’s ever cast…

Death Meets Cute plunges readers into an enchanting setting and a feel-good romantasy tale that genre fans will not want to miss.

She knows the taste of death. He’ll stoke her hunger for it.

Eighteen-year-old Sarai doesn’t know why someone tried to kill her four years ago. But she does know that her case was closed without justice.

Hellbent on vengeance, she returns to the scene of the crime as a Petitor, a prosecutor who can magically detect lies. There, she is assigned to work with Tetrarch Kadra. Ice-cold and perennially sadistic, Kadra is the most vicious of the four judges who rule the land. And the prime suspect in a string of deaths identical to Sarai’s attempted murder. Certain of his guilt, Sarai begins a double life: solving cases with Kadra by day and plotting his ruin by night.

But Kadra is charming and there’s something alluring about the wrath he wields against the city’s corruption. So when the evidence she finds embroils her in a deadly political battle, Sarai must also fight against her attraction to Kadra. Because despite his growing hold on her heart, his voice matches the only memory she has of her assailant…

As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.

Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack. Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone.

With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down – even if the spark between them sizzles with promise. Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met.

And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance. Written by Sunday Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.
