New Releases by Roshani Chokshi

Roshani Chokshi's sweeping new fantasy standalone brims with cursed love. This is the lush story of the swan and the prince who share a forged desire to become something more - to themselves, and to each other. Prince Arris knows that marriage means murder. After poorly wording a wish to a sea witch, all one needs to rule the Isle of Malys is the heart and hand in marriage of the kingdom's heir. Thus, Arris expects that the day of his marriage will be the one of his murdering. His only chance at a long life is finding true and lasting love. When Arris's parents announce a tournament of brides to compete for the throne, a slew of eligible, lovely and (possibly murderous) bachelorettes make their way to Rathe Castle. But Arris cannot tell who is here out of love for him . . . or lust for power. Until he meets Demelza. As a veritas swan, Demelza's song wrings out the truth. Forced into hiding, Demelza strikes a deal. Arris will provide her with safekeeping in exchange for her truth-telling song to sort through his potential brides. While Arris is used to dodging death threats and Demelza is accustomed to fighting for her voice to be heard, to survive the tournament of brides requires a different kind of bravery. And perhaps the bravest thing one can do is not merely protect one's life but find the courage to chase a life worth living.

Il gruppo si è diviso dopo l''apparente tradimento di Séverin. Per ritrovarlo, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos e Zofia devono farsi strada attraverso gli spettrali canali di Venezia, a guidarli solo una manciata di labili indizi. Nel frattempo, Séverin deve fronteggiare i capricci del folle patriarca della Casa Decaduta e scoprire l''ubicazione del tempio sotto l''isola della peste, l''unico luogo in cui può essere suonata la lira divina capace di realizzare ogni desiderio. Mancano solo dieci giorni alla presunta data di morte di Laila e il gruppo si trova ad affrontare laghi pieni di cadaveri, sinistre feste in maschera e canti intonati da voci ultraterrene, fino ad arrivare agli scintillanti gradini di un tempio in grado di trasformare tutti loro in divinità... ma il prezzo da pagare potrebbe essere davvero troppo elevato.

Tu m'as averti que ton secret nous détruirait si je le découvrais. Mais, oh, mon amour, comme tu mentais... Il était une fois un homme qui croyait aux contes de fées. Lorsque ce dernier rencontre Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada, sa fascination pour elle n'a d'égale que la passion brûlante qui les unit, nourrie par leur penchant commun pour les contes. Indigo lui offre sa main, à condition qu'il ne l'interroge jamais sur son passé. Il accepte sans hésiter. Malgré tous les secrets dont elle s'est entourée, Indigo est pourtant rattrapée par son ancienne vie et ils sont tous deux contraints de partir pour la Maison des Rêves – le manoir extravagant où elle a grandi. Dans ses profondeurs, le fiancé exhume alors des vérités qui auraient dû rester enfouies, promesses maudites gardées par les fées. Tandis que la demeure lui livre ses secrets, il sera forcé de choisir entre histoires et réalité, mettant en danger leur pacte, et leurs vies...

DA CHARMOSA PARIS AOS VENTOS CONGELANTES DA RÚSSIA, RETORNE AO UNIVERSO DE OS LOBOS DOURADOS E SE ENCANTE COM ESTA SEQUÊNCIA REPLETA DE MISTÉRIO E ROMANCE. MOSCOU, FINAL DO SÉCULO XIX. Três semanas. Esse é o tempo restante até o próximo Conclave de Inverno, o evento mais aguardado pelos membros da Ordem de Babel, que nem imaginam os perigos que os esperam. Séverin Montagnet-Alarie e sua equipe podem até ter tido sucesso em impedir os planos da Casa Caída, mas a vitória tem um custo alto demais — um que ainda assombra todos eles. Tentando se recuperar da perda avassaladora, Séverin lidera uma perigosa jornada em busca de um artefato há muito tempo perdido — e que, segundo os rumores, é capaz de conceder ao seu detentor o poder de Deus. A procura leva o grupo para longe de Paris direto para o coração da Rússia, onde animais feitos de gelo guardam um palácio esquecido, deusas em ruínas carregam segredos mortais e uma sequência de antigos assassinatos não resolvidos faz com que o grupo questione se um mito antigo se trata realmente de um mito. No entanto, Séverin e sua equipe não contavam que em sua aventura se deparariam com novos segredos e, como se não bastasse, inúmeros desafios. Nessa jornada, cada um deles precisará olhar para dentro de si e lidar com sentimentos conflituosos — perda, ganância, impotência e vulnerabilidade. E o que encontrarão poderá levá-los por rumos inimagináveis e que colocarão em prova a fé inabalável de suas relações, conforme o grupo arrisca suas vidas por um último trabalho.

Corazon yearns to finally start training as a babaylan (a mystical healer and spirit guide) under her powerful guardian, Aunt Tina. As soon as her magic awakens, Corazon plans to bring her parents back from the dead and no longer have to rely on a soul key to allow visits with their ghosts for a few hours every Saturday night. But when a vengeful ghost steals Corazon's precious key, the fragile balance between the human world and the spirit world is thrown out of whack. Aunt Tina reveals that if Corazon wants her magic to awaken, then she just lay the ghost to rest by fashioning a new soul key. With her rather bloodthirsty gecko companion, Saso, Corazon embarks on a quest through the spirit realms. But they must move quickly, for if the ghost gets through the spirit glass, all hope will be lost. Roshani Chokshi pays tribute to her Filipino heritage in this book that has all the magic, sparkle, and heart that made her Aru Shah series a fantasy classic.

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents the breathtaking conclusion to Roshani Chokshi's New York Times best-selling Pandava quintet, now in paperback. The Pandavas only have until the next full moon to stop the Sleeper from gaining access to the nectar of immortality, which will grant him infinite power. But how can Aru, Mini, and Brynne hope to defeat him without their celestial weapons? The Sleeper and his army are already plundering the labyrinth, and the sisters can't even enter. Their quest to get in will have them calling on old friends, meeting new allies, and facing fearsome trials, like...performing in a rock concert? When the moment of confrontation finally arrives, it's up to Aru to decide who deserves immortality, the devas or the asuras. The most unexpected answer will come from a most unexpected place. More surprises and delights, gods and demons, and laughs and tears await in this immensely satisfying conclusion to the wild ride that began with the lighting of a lamp.

"A fairy tale in the oldest and truest sense: a haunting dream full of blood and love, vicious truths and beautiful lies. It swallowed me whole, and I went willingly." — Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House “Decadence laced with horror . . . A delightfully meta fairy tale . . . Magic emanates from every exquisitely crafted sentence.” — Charlie Jane Anders, Washington Post In the tradition of sumptuous gothic novels like Starling House and The Bloody Chamber comes a dark fairy tale-infused story about a cursed friendship and a marriage steeped in secrets—the breathtaking adult debut from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi. Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada. He was a scholar of myths. She was an heiress. In exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past. But when the couple returns to Indigo’s childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom will soon find himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor’s extravagant rooms lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo’s dearest childhood friend, who suddenly disappeared. As the house slowly reveals his wife’s secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives. Through a tapestry of secrets woven around dangerous shards of truth, Chokshi crafts an atmospheric fever dream of a novel about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. "Chokshi's tale is as sweet as a piece of fairy fruit, and just as wicked. Every bite is velvet, every swallow is gold, and the taste lingers like a fever dream." — V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue "Gorgeous and ornate, this sensual fairy tale illuminates the corrosive and redemptive power of both love and lies." — Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night
