Love and pain in the time of the angels….

"When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity on me."

In a kingdom born of angels, Phedre is an anguisette, cursed or blessed to find pleasure in pain.

To defeat them and their gods, the forefathers burned the sky. The cities and machines fell to the ground, useless.

Cartboy and the Time Capsule L. A. Campbell

“Campbell’s debut is fast and funny.... Hal’s authentic voice and realistic twelve­year­old sense of humor will hook Wimpy Kid fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

Sixth grade gets off to a horrible start when history teacher Mr. Tupkin gives the class an assignment to write journals that will be buried in a time capsule at the end of the year. Things get even worse when his dad makes him take his neighbor’s old shopping cart to school, earning him the nickname "Cartboy." What else could possibly go wrong? Read Hal’s journal to find out!

Spire, a skeptic driven to protect the helpless and see justice done, is the perfect man to lead the department, which employs scholars and scientists, assassins and con men, and a traveling circus.

Haunted by the ghost of her beloved, she is determined that the Eterna Compound—and the immortality it will convey—will be controlled by the United States, not Great Britain.

The Tropic of Serpents A Memoir by Lady Trent

Marie Brennan

The thrilling adventures of Lady Trent continue in the second volume of memoirs detailing her scientific studies of dragons

PRAISE “‘A Witch’s Heart’ by Randy Henderson is a Hansel and Gretel story... Henderson’s version is a study in nuance. Even Hansel, whose blood appears more in the story than he does, is still made complex through the layers of interpretation provided by Gretel and the witch…. The larger world the story hints at feels every bit as complex and haunting as the kindnesses of Granny Bab.” —Realms of Fantasy

MARKETING

Plans: Hugo Award–winning author Elizabeth Bear offers something • National advertising targeting science fiction/fantasy audiences new in this absolutely entrancing steampunk novel • Online publicity campaign • Digital promotion on social networking sites, the Tor/Forge newsletter and blog “You ain’t gonna like what I have to tell you, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. See, my name is Karen Memery, like memory only spelt with an e, and I'm one of the girls what works in the Hôtel Mon Cherie on Amity Street. Hôtel has a little hat over the o like that. It's French, so Beatrice tells me.”

Set in the late 19th century—when the city we now call Seattle Underground was the whole town (and still on the surface), when airships plied the trade routes, would­be gold miners were heading to the gold fields of Alaska, and steam­ powered mechanicals stalked the waterfront, Karen is a young woman on her own, is making the best of her orphaned state by working in Madame Damnable’s high­quality bordello. Through Karen’s eyes we get to know the other girls in the house—a resourceful group—and the poor and the powerful of the town. Trouble erupts one night when a badly injured girl arrives at their door, beggin sanctuary, followed by the man who holds her indenture, and who has a machine that can take over anyone’s mind and control their actions. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the next night brings a body dumped in their rubbish heap—a streetwalker who has been brutally murdered.

Bear brings alive this Jack­the­Ripper yarn of the old west with a light touch in Karen’s own memorable voice, and a mesmerizing evocation of classic steam­ powered science.

PRAISE “This lean, sinewy, visceral narrative, set forth in extraordinarily vivid prose full of telling detail, conveys a remarkable sense of time and place, where the characters belong to the landscape and whose personalities derive naturally from it.… Gripping, perfectly balanced and highly recommended.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review on Range of Ghosts

“Elizabeth Bear launches a trilogy in a fantastic new world with this compelling tale.… Bear creates a vivid world where wizards must sacrifice their ability to procreate in order to control magic and the sky changes to reflect the gods of the land's rulers.” —Publishers Weekly on Range of Ghosts

ELIZABETH BEAR was the recipient of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2005. She has won two Hugo Awards for her short fiction, a Sturgeon Award, and the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Bear lives in Brookfield, Massachusetts.

Shadow is the second title in Will Elliott’s fantasy Pendulum Trilogy: “Elliott writes with a power commensurate with the originality of his vision.” —Times Literary Supplement

Eric Albright was a luckless journalist living in London.

That is to say he sites and the Tor/Forge blog would be a journalist if he got off his backside. But this luckless slacker isn’t all bad—he has a soft spot for his sometimes friend Stuart Casey, the homeless old drunk who mostly lives under the railway bridge near his flat. Eric is willing to let his life just drift by…until the day a small red door appears on the graffiti­covered wall of the bridge, and a gang of strange­looking people—Eric's pretty sure one of them is a giant—dash out of the door and rob the nearby newsagent. From that day on Eric and Case haunt the arch, waiting for the door to reappear.

When it does, both Eric and Case choose to go through…to the land of Levaal. A place where a mountain­sized dragon with the powers of a god lies sleeping beneath a great white castle. In the castle the sinister Lord Vous rules with an iron fist, and the Project, designed to effect his transformation into an immortal spirit, nears completion. But Vous's growing madness is close to consuming him, together with his fear of an imaginary being named Shadow. And soon Eric may lend substance to that fear. An impossibly vast wall divides Levall, and no one has ever seen what lies beyond. Eric and Casey are called Pilgrims, and may have powers that no one in either world yet understands, and soon the wall may be broken. What will enter from the other side?

A grand innovation in hard SF space opera—a slower­than­ light civilization of planets without stars

When seventeen­year­old Toby McGonigal finds himself lost in space, separated from his family, he expects his next drift into cold sleep to be his last.

Welcome to the Lockstep empire, where civilization is kept alive by careful hibernation. Here cold sleeps can last decades and waking moments mere weeks.

But Ellie must do more. Her handlers—widowed Jakob, lonely Maya—need her too. People can be lost in many ways, and to do the job she was born to do, Ellie needs to find a way to save the people she loves best.

Adapted for young readers from W. Bruce Cameron’s bestselling novel, A Dog’s Purpose, here is a heartwarming and inspiring tale for all animal lovers.

Full Fathom Five Max Gladstone

The third novel set in the addictive and compelling fantasy world of Three Parts Dead

On the island of Kavekana, Kai builds gods to order, then hands them to others to maintain. Her creations aren’t conscious and lack their own wills and voices, but they accept sacrifices, and protect their worshippers from other gods—perfect vehicles for Craftsmen and Craftswomen operating in the divinely controlled Old World. When Kai sees one of her creations dying and tries to save her, she’s grievously injured—then sidelined from the business entirely, her near­suicidal rescue attempt offered up as proof of her instability. But when Kai gets tired of hearing her boss, her coworkers, and her ex­boyfriend call her crazy, and starts digging into the reasons her creations die, she uncovers a conspiracy of silence FICTION / FANTASY / EPIC and fear that will crush her—if Kai can't stop it first.

Miss Persephone Parker—known as Percy—is different, with her lustrous, snow­ white hair, pearlescent pale skin, and uncanny ability to see and communicate with ghosts. Seeking to continue her education, Percy has come to Queen Victoria's London, to the Athens Academy. What she will learn there will change her life forever.

Athens Academy is the citadel of The Guard, an ancient order that battles the forces of evil. The Victorian Guard, led by professor Alexi Rychman, is incomplete. They cannot defeat Jack the Ripper— who is more than the serial killer he appears to be—or the greater monster his appearance heralds.

Percy's lifelong habit of concealment combined with Alexi's fevered search for the Guard's missing seventh nearly prove disastrous as ancient Greek myths begin playing out in modern, gaslit, Victorian London. Percy and her new friends and allies must overcome their preconceptions about each other and their own histories before they can set the world to rights.
