Paragon

Kate Goodwin

But when she boards a midnight streetcar bound for a forbidden fae world, she collides with Obsidian Glimmery, a conductor bound to dangerous Blood Magic. As fae immigrants begin to mysteriously vanish, the two must risk their secrets, their power, and the fragile trust growing between them before a world that profits from magic lets it disappear for good.

Changeless (Parasol Protectorate, #2)

Gail Carriger

Alexia Maccon, the Lady Woolsey, awakens in the wee hours of the mid-afternoon to find her husband, who should be decently asleep like any normal werewolf, yelling at the top of his lungs. Then he disappears; leaving her to deal with a regiment of supernatural soldiers encamped on her doorstep, a plethora of exorcised ghosts, and an angry Queen Victoria. But Alexia is armed with her trusty parasol, the latest fashions, and an arsenal of biting civility. So even when her investigations take her to Scotland, the backwater of ugly waistcoats, she is prepared: upending werewolf pack dynamics as only the soulless can. She might even find time to track down her wayward husband, if she feels like it. CHANGELESS is the second book of the Parasol Protectorate series: a comedy of manners set in Victorian London, full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.

In an Absent Dream

Seanan McGuire

This fourth entry and prequel tells the story of Lundy, a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should. When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well.

Lud-in-the-Mist

Hope Mirrlees

When an influx of fairy fruit creates havoc in Lud-in-the-Mist, a merchant village situated where the rivers the Dawl and the Dapple meet in the Free State of Dorimare, the conventional, rule-abiding citizens must grapple with a previously unthinkable solution. The Dapple springs from the bordering land of Faerie—a country of fantastic inhabitants viewed by the tradition-bound people of Lud-in-the-Mist with fear and suspicion. When the effects of fairy fruit and the creatures of Faerie can no longer be ignored, the stolid mayor of Lud-in-the-Mist, Nathaniel Chanticleer, undergoes radical rethinking and emerges as an unlikely leader of change. A classic of fantasy fiction, Lud-in-the-Mist has had a diffuse but indelible influence on the genre and has inspired such authors as Neil Gaiman, Mary Gentle, Elizabeth Hand, Johanna Russ, and Tim Powers. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.

Lucretia's Curse

Olivia Noelle

A curse, a cure, and the centuries between them. Of all the myths painted across the coastal land of Marai, nineteen-year-old Nielle Lucretia has only ever feared one kind of monster: the man that assaulted her last year. As she searches for a way to cure the scar he left behind, she realizes that her secret gift—the ability to hear the songs of nature—binds her to something dark, and cursed beneath the bones of Marai. Centuries later, an archaeologist named Briar believes the myth of Lucretia has been lost for good, until he accidentally unleashes a curse from her sarcophagus. He’s forced to travel to Ancient Marai to strike a deal with Nielle: he’ll help her cure her scar if she helps him break his curse. But history demands to repeat itself, and once Nielle finds out the truth behind who started this curse, she vows that no one, not even fate, will ever write her story again.
