September’s Most Anticipated Fiction

The National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko returns with a breathtaking contemporary epic: a masterpiece by turns sweeping and intimate, that reckons with ambition and moderation, lust and loyalty, personal dreams and familial duty.

Min Jin Lee brings grand ambition, fierce heart, and the tenderest hope to a novel I didn’t want to end.” —Roxane Gay, bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger

In schools and churches, hotel rooms and nail salons, law firms and fried-fish shops; in cramped, dingy apartments and luxury, gated communities, the men, women, and children in American Hagwon struggle to find satisfaction and meaning in a world that seems to grow less forgiving with each passing year. Once comfortably middle class in Korea, John and Helen Koh and their three children—Bo, DH, and Mido—find their lives upended, first by a shocking betrayal by John’s oldest friend, then by the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Desperately striving to regain their footing, they leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in Southern California—where new vistas of opportunity open up for the children as their parents, strangers in a strange land, must adjust to a new life in which their experience and education mean little, and they set their sights on whatever it takes to provide for their children’s futures. The Kohs, their friends, relatives, and even their foes move in and out of each other’s lives as they navigate new courses across the years, always nursing the almost all-consuming faith that education will lead the next generation to success and security.

In American Hagwon, Min Jin Lee has crafted an unforgettable, panoramic novel where the smallest of gestures can have enormous repercussions, where the bonds of family and of memory twist and fray but rarely break, and where willful self-sacrifice—for the benefit of loved ones and even strangers—is a kind of prayer.

An immersive, engrossing novel … this is panorama told in brilliant detail.”—Colm Tóibín, bestselling author ofLong IslandandBrooklyn

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES!

Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries, and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling sensation The Knight and the Moth.

Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead—and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquish him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom’s faith—and herself—in the process.

But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the tournament lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil’s ticket to undoing Benji’s power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is to save it.

“Gwynne is a rare breed of writer whose gift lies not in his panoply of talents, but in his authenticity. The Wolves of War is a beautiful book.”– Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“A tour de force by one of fantasy’s greatest writers.” – Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestseller author

THE WOLVES OF WAR ARE BARING THEIR FANGS
 
The Clans once lived freely, honouring their gods and traditions. Then the northern invaders unleashed a tide of blood and fire. Now the Clans are a conquered people.
 
Ivan cares not for wars or kings. His only concern is the safety of his family, especially his daughter Halia, whom he would protect with his life.

Many believe her cursed, but Halia’s awakening powers may be the only way she and her family can survive the coming storm.
 
For the wolves of war are stalking the horizon. Two princes have become mortal enemies, and an iron-toothed witch haunts the shadows. As mighty nations clash, Halia must master her strange magic to protect those she loves. To do so, she must accept a terrifying truth.

Crossroads of Ravens is the instant New York Times bestselling novel that every Witcher fan has been waiting for. Follow fantasy’s most beloved monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia, on his first steps towards becoming a legend.

“A wonderful insight into the beginnings of one of fantasy’s most beloved and iconic characters, Geralt of Rivia. Immersive, exciting, and emotional. Crossroads of Ravens is not to be missed.” —John Gwynne, New York Times bestselling author of The Hunter of the Gods series

Witchers are not born. They are made. Before he was the White Wolf or the Butcher of Blaviken, Geralt of Rivia was simply a fresh graduate of Kaer Morhen, stepping into a world that neither understands nor welcomes his kind. And when an act of naïve heroism goes gravely wrong, Geralt is only saved from the noose by Preston Holt, a grizzled witcher with a buried past and an agenda of his own.

Under Holt’s guiding hand, Geralt begins to learn what it truly means to walk the Path—to protect a world that fears him, and to survive in it on his own terms. But as the line between right and wrong begins to blur, Geralt must decide to become the monster everyone expects, or something else entirely.

This is the story of how legends are made—and what they cost.

“Geralt is one of the great characters in all of fantasy. Whether you’re coming from the games, TV show, or are simply new to the Witcher universe —these books are absolutely worth the read.” —James Islington, author of The Will of the Many

“Sapkowski is a true master of fantasy literature, and Crossroads of Ravens is his latest example of his writing prowess.” —Popverse

Translated from original Polish by David French.

Fall in love. Again. And again. This irresistible holiday time loop rom-com is perfect for fans of In a Holidaze and The Holiday Swap.

Which man from her past will make the perfect Christmas present?

All Marygrace Silva wants for Christmas is a date to impress her big, boisterous family. Instead, a disastrous setup and an awkward run-in with her ex-best friend Robbie leave her wishing for a holiday miracle.

Then a slip on the ice lands her in a time loop—reliving Christmas Eve with a different ex each time. There’s Flynn the finance bro, Dale the rising music star, Jamie the fitness influencer.

Glamorous? Sure. Perfect? Not so much.

Between caroling and cookie baking, Marygrace is checking exes off her list—but somehow, Robbie keeps showing up too. Maybe the love she’s been searching for has been there all along …

With a sprinkling of sugar and just the right amount of spice, this romance about family, friendship, finding your voice, and the promise of “what-if” is a holiday treat you won’t want to miss.

Read for these tropes:

• Holiday romance
• Friends to lovers
• Small town romance
• Time loops
• Second chance romance
• Big family

A young tech entrepreneur—ousted from her start-up and reeling—escapes to Europe for a glamorous car rally, where she must contend with the excesses of the über-rich, betrayal, and love. Perfect for fans of The Wedding People and The White Lotus.

Charlotte “Charlie” Walker has spent the last four years building the dating app Flutter. Despite her own lack of dating experience (!), Flutter is instantly successful. Perhaps too successful. After rejecting the romantic advances of her cofounder, Charlie finds herself unceremoniously ousted. Dispirited, she impulsively joins her BFF on the Rally—an extravagant European road trip featuring luxury cars, lavish parties, and breathtaking destinations.

Although she feels out of place, Charlie embraces her new freedom, indulging in the Rally’s hedonism. But just as she begins to regain her footing, Charlie realizes she can’t outdrive her past: Instead she must reckon with the fallout from her ouster, her company’s buried secrets, and an unexpected attraction that complicates everything.
