A deadly mission. A thief who could ruin it all. Nore Gordon is a woman of many talents: she can speak a variety of languages, disguise herself in plain sight, and has made a name for herself as a successful wine merchant. But unbeknownst to those closest to her, it is all a front for Nore's true role as the favoured spy of the Lindle crown. Tasked with infiltrating enemy lands in search of a powerful relic, Nore is forced to engage the services of a great thief. Unfortunately, the only person for the job is her estranged husband Caspian. Both Nore and Caspian bear the scars of the disastrous end of their marriage, but if they are to survive their deadly new assignment, they must pose as a happily married couple to avoid detection. As danger closes in, Nore finds herself tangled in a web of lies and deceit-and though Caspian is at the centre of it all, she may not hate him as much as she once did. But Caspian has betrayed her before, and trust can be far more deadly than deception."--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945888</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945888</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bovalino, V.

Bran Gallagher grew up with three rules passed down through his coven: beware forest paths that lead to dangerous mounds, always keep iron close, and never speak of magic. Cillian Dunne grew up with his mother's love, his father's absence, and secret warnings to never trust a witch. In Pelham's forest, where bright lights haunt the trees and hunt the lost, there are traditions kept for survival and others out of habit, none of which should be broken. Bran and Cillian unknowingly broke tradition and ruined each other in the aftermath of a kiss years ago. Reunited in the wake of a family tragedy, they cross paths with something old, something terrifying-something that wants them dead. When Bran's younger sister is stolen away by a nightmare into the Otherworld, they can only follow and try to keep each other alive in a strange and haunting land. Trapped in a dangerous Fae Court, Bran learns being a witch comes with a death sentence. To save him, Cillian must fight against those who seek power from a past he has no memory of, and the only person he can trust is the witch who broke his heart.  But it might be too late. For the Fae have never been kind, and they have always hungered, and this time, what they hunger for is revenge.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C948857</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C948857</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Turner, Hailey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/948857018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798990027121/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Hearth Witch's Guide to Spite & Spellwork]]></title><description><![CDATA["As the bastard child of the late Erlking, Detective Avery Hemlock is used to being alone.

"I wanted to go back to Mid-World, which was always the Territories by another name."--Stephen King. This is Stephen King and Peter Straub's epic and unforgettable finale to the Talisman Trilogy (including the novels Talisman and Black House ) and a wrapping up of the fate of the worlds in King's iconic, fiercely beloved Dark Tower epic. It is also a magnificent stand-alone novel, that will appeal to new readers, as well as to King's Constant Readers. Other Worlds Than These is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was twelve, crossing America and "the territories" to save his mother's life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King (among other evils). In Other Worlds Than These, Jack must stop a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side, and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of Mid-World, before it destroys our world and all worlds. Jack is older now; his Ka-tet (echoing the world of Roland) is fraying; and his task, nearly impossible. Magnificent, riveting, full of heart, and humor, Other Worlds Than These is a spectacular, propulsive adventure, and features thirty-six exclusive black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez. The title instantly announces to readers who already know these other worlds that King has returned to them. Other Worlds Than These will appeal to new King readers and his Constant Readers"--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C936919</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C936919</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[King, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/936919018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668233092/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dues & Don'ts of Magic]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Spellshop meets Legends & Lattes in this new cozy romantic fantasy trilogy about magic gone wrong, by the bestselling author of The House Witch series!

The problem is, others are aware of it, too. Old foes and new are plotting a terrible revenge: to disrupt the narrative and make the last Thursday Next novel, Dark Reading Matter, not just unreadable but unpublishable. Thursday can't let that happen, and needs to use all her guile and narrative trickery to unmask the antagonists. It won't be easy. The Martians have broken out of their H. G. Wells novel and threaten both the real world and the Bookworld. Agents from a higher reality want unfettered access to the Dark Reading Matter, the realm where deleted books and unrealized literary ideas end up. A Gateway to Hell has opened up at Wantage's Shakesmania, the nation's second-worst Shakespeare theme park, and the cozy world of Enid Blyton has been hijacked by Ultra Right-Wing Nationalists. With Reality Field Distortion experiments going haywire, a partially redacted donkey, a Bookworld on the brink of losing its imaginative energy to Big Tech and a murderous stamp collector with Philaticide on their mind, Thursday has to navigate a tightrope of borderline unusable narrative devices to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion. It's a tall order, but Thursday has several secret weapons: her own adaptability; her husband, Landen; a host of stalwart friends and ultimately the most loyal compatriots she can call upon--her readers"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C938867</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C938867</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fforde, Jasper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/938867018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781641296687/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Warded Man]]></title><description><![CDATA[As darkness falls each night, demons known as the corelings rise, and three young survivors of demon attacks risk everything to recover the secrets of the past to defeat the corelings and stop their relentless assault against humans.]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C946879</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C946879</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brett, Peter V.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/946879018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593723272/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Knight & Her Emperor]]></title><description><![CDATA["She's climbing the ranks, while he's opening his heart...

As the army progresses through the continent, Pollyanna is surprised to find the other knights slowly beginning to accept her. She may be a former enemy and a woman, but the Acreans cannot deny her significant contributions to their conquest. Even more unexpected is Luxos's increasing fondness for his stoic knight. The knights have never seen their king grow so close to someone--in face, the two get along so well that rumors start to fly. Is Luxos's admiration strictly for Pollyanna's talent, or could the gossip have some truth to it?"--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945851</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945851</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Heyum]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/945851018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>2</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593976043/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black Clover]]></title><description><![CDATA["Asta thought his first mission as a Black Bulls Magic Knight wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Vesper Holloway runs her family club, where a dash of spell powder or an enchanted cocktail can add a little extra intrigue to the evening. But when a spate of accidents strikes these establishments, she worries patrons will flee her family's business. Enter Maxwell Ashbridge, a onetime friend of Vesper's brother, who has joined the government agency tasked with enforcing the ban, and who has a personal vendetta against the magical elite. But he does not have a vendetta against Vesper; in fact, he finds her rather enticing. He promises immunity for her club if she teams up with him to investigate, which does little to quell the growing chemistry they share. As accidents continue and the fight to repeal the ban gains ground in Parliament, Vesper and Max will have to decide--is the magic between them worth fighting for?" -- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945884</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C945884</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waters, Martha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/945884018</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668215241/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange Lights]]></title><description><![CDATA["Paranormal investigator and cryptozoologist Reggie has embraced her fate as parent to an adopted toddler, Eldi--a bloodsucking chupacabra with a fondness for goats. Reggie wants nothing more than to put her complicated past in the rearview mirror and fade into as much obscurity as her toddler will allow. But a rash of UFOs in the night sky and a couple of crop-circle-carving Roombas force Reggie into an investigation that attracts the attention of an old enemy, an anti-supernatural agency hunting for creatures like Eldi. To outwit them, Reggie must team up with Calvin, a podcaster-turned-werewolf whose charm is a real threat to Reggie's rule against romantic attachments.

Taj lives in a junkheap, scavenging scrap to keep his family fed and dodging the monsters who live among the wreckage. His only edge is a smart-ass construct named Star he built himself. Taj dreams of winning big with Star in the construct fighting circuits, but victory always seems just beyond his reach and the debt collectors are at the door. His world changes forever when someone there makes him an offer that seems too good to be true: a chance to fight in the Ascent, the ultimate fighting tournament, for a prize beyond his wildest fantasies. But things that seem too good to be true usually are, and Taj finds his new benefactor comes with plenty of new enemies. As he ventures beyond the only world he's ever known, he discovers it's not just his money on the line in the Ascent--it's his life.

Who was Glinda the Good Witch before she floated down in her bubble to greet Dorothy? Who was Glinda before she became Elphaba Thropp's magnetic and popular roommate at Shiz University? Well, before then, she was Galinda. With a 'ga.' The youngest of four children in a high-born family down on their luck, Galinda is both pampered and ignored. Her natural grace promises to elevate her in the district dance competitions--but these efforts distract her from seeing the growing resentments of local merchants who disapprove of her family's business strategies. Enmired in the self-satisfactions and unnamed timidities of childhood, Galinda finds in herself neither canniness nor the need to cultivate it. However, as her father deftly pivots around the snares and nets laid for him by his competitors, Galinda begins to dance toward a life that might lift her above her proud, if hardscrabble, childhood. Galinda reveals the girl behind the bubbly, shallow cliché--offering fans of Wicked their first richer glimpse into the life of a beloved and iconic character"--]]></description><link>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C936396</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S18C936396</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maguire, Gregory]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/936396018</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Charmed Childhood</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063495272/MC.GIF&amp;client=573-443-3161&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cursed City]]></title><description><![CDATA["Welcome back to Harker Academy for Deviant Defense, where the line between hunter and hunted has never been thinner. Viv Abbot will do whatever it takes to rescue Reid Graveheart, the reformed Brood demon she loves-even if it means teaming up with his violent, unpredictable older brother, Deacon. Her uneasy truce with him offers Viv something Reid never could: the chance to embrace her darkness. As the search for Reid intensifies, Viv and her friends must maintain appearances on Harker grounds while wading into Astera's seedy underbelly with none other than the White Stag as their guide. But when a bounty on Viv's head puts those she loves most in danger, Viv will be forced to go to lengths she never dreamed in order to protect them. With enemies closing in from all sides and a ticking clock on her life, Viv must protect the Half City from destruction while surviving a betrayal that strikes at the heart of everything she's fighting for. Because in a world where monsters wear familiar faces and temptation cuts deeper than any blade, surviving her second year at Harker will take more than skill-it will take everything Viv has left to give.
