A very happy #bookbirthday to ASTRA FOX AND THE RISE OF THE WONDERWORKERS by Isaac Fitzsimons! ✨💚 "[A] richly imagined fantasy that engages with concepts of systemic oppression and labor exploitation." —Publishers Weekly awfulagent.com/ebooks/astra...

The cover for ASTRA FOX AND THE RISE OF THE WONDERWORKERS by ISaac Fitzsimons. The cover features a young Black girl in the center; she wears a yellow dress and has her hair in two long braids. In front of her torso, she creates illusion magic, resulting in a large golden spark effect between her hands. Directly behind her is the outline of an elaborate magical city. Adorning the cover are golden bird and vine motifs.

As Seen in Print! 🧵 Adam Oyebanji has a 🌟 STARRED 🌟 review in @publisherswkly.bsky.social! "Oyebanji’s worldbuilding is vast and detailed without ever overwhelming the mystery, on the way to a deeply satisfying resolution." LINE OF DESCENT publishes 11/17/26!

The first 2/3rds of the starred Publishers Weekly review for LINE OF DESCENT by Adam Oyebanji: "Oyebanji (Esperance) impresses with a sci-fi mystery that cleverly combines a believable distant future with a fair-play whodunit. Thirty thousand people board the generation ship Archimedes for a 133-year voyage to a new home. But 109 years into the journey, the ship’s mission is imperiled. Dwindling resources and structural damage make completing the trip unlikely without drastic changes. Dissidents insist that the Archimedes, despite being more than 80% of the way to its destination, reverse course and return to the Home System, though attempted communications to the Home System have not been returned in decades. Against this fraught backdrop, security officer Faisal Vasconcelos has multiple mysteries"

The last 1/3rd of the starred Publishers Weekly review for LINE OF DESCENT by Adam Oyebanji: "to investigate. First, Life Sciences sublieutenant Yoshi Graham, a rumored supporter of the dissidents, claims to have been kidnapped before being returned to his quarters. Before Vasconcelos can make progress on that case, he’s confronted with a murder: a corpse is found inside one of the ship’s reproductive incubator tanks, which were once used to spawn Vasconcelos himself. Oyebanji’s worldbuilding is vast and detailed without ever overwhelming the mystery, on the way to a deeply satisfying resolution. James S.A. Corey devotees will be thrilled."

The Remonstering is only two weeks away! Are you ready? Pre-order REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING today and have it in your hot little hands the day it hits shelves, Tuesday, Oct. 6! www.spyandowl.com/re...

The cover of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING: Five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid. The cover is accompanied by text reading, "Two more weeks! Pre-order now!"

She wields an intricate and rather large dagger that has ridges in the blade (looking akin to bone) and a small gem in the handle. Behind Mallori is a poster of her singing into a microphone and throwing up a peace sign, showing off her pop stardom. The word PRETTY is designed to be part of the poster with EVIL spray-painted in red underneath it.

On the right, the cover of SAVED BY THE SPELL, a classroom with an eye looking out of the blackboard and a bunch of swirly magiky stuff. Some of the desks are warped. There's an apple on the teacher's desk. No one actually gives her an apple in the book, but...visual shorthand. The text across the bottom of the book reads, author of Direct Descendant.

The cover for MORFRAN, DARK LORD REFORMED by S.B. West. The illustrated cover features two figures in front of a tall tower. One of the figures is in a flowy white shirt, black pants, and boots; he is holding a leash which is for a white goat next to him. The other figure is wearing a corseted red dress and a long braid, and has her hands on her hips. They're both looking up at a figure in the tower whose long blonde beard resembles Rapunzel's hair flowing down the tower.

The cover for GOOD NIGHT, BREAK A LEG: LIFE WITH BROADWAY DADS written by Bret Shuford and illustrated by Elena Hager. The cover features a couple holding a child with dazzling stage lights in the background. Both men are in tuxedos, one with brown hair and a clean-shaven face and the other with ginger hair and a mustache. The ginger-haired man is holding a Broadway ticket in one hand. The child is blonde and wears a pin-striped shirt and brown overalls.
