The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow Genres: Adult, Adventure, Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Fantasy Romance, High Fantasy, Time Travel Published by Tor on October 27, 2025 Format: Hardcover, Special Edition Pages: 320 Source: Goldsboro Books From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part–even if it breaks his heart.  Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters―but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.  Centuries later, Owen Mallory―failed soldier, struggling scholar―falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives―and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.  But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend―if they want to tell a different story–they’ll have to …

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Dark Academia, Fairy Tale, Low Fantasy, Retelling Published by Tor on July 31, 2025 Format: Hardcover, Special Edition Pages: 357 Source: Owlcrate From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Hemlock & Silver, a dark reimagining of “Snow White” steeped in poison, intrigue, and treason of the most magical kind.  Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.  Not to die, but to save—seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.  But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her.  Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat, and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow, but nothing seems to work. That is, until she finds a secret world, hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.  Or it might be the thing that kills them all. “Mirror mirror on the wall, give me a tale, creative from them all.” (please excuse the clunky line, I thought it would make a fun opening). Anywho, pitched as an original …

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Low Fantasy, Paranormal, Historical Fiction, LGBTQ+, Literary Fiction, Historical Fantasy Published by Tor on June 9, 2025 Format: eBook Pages: 544 Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532.  London, 1837.  Boston, 2019.  Three young women, their bodies planted in the same soil, their stories tangling like roots.  One grows high, and one grows deep, and one grows wild.  And all of them grow teeth. Lyrical, reflective, poetically beautiful, not to mention a proudly sapphic and historical take on vampires, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a slow and thoughtful literary fiction and historical novel wearing an exquisite paranormal fantasy gown. Very similar in tone and approach to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this novel is everything one would expect from V.E. Schwab. Spanning over five hundred years and featuring FMC’s of various backgrounds and stories, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is a sprawling and meandering narrative that won’t be for everyone, but is sure to please Schwab fans and classy readers. The best way I can describe Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil is vibrant women growing from the midnight soil, restricted …
