Set in a parallel world in which large swathes of East Anglia and the South have been lost to rising sea levels, These Fated Gifts tells the story of estranged twin sisters, Elin and Bryn, fated to defend both old world and new from the man who orphaned them.

Revealing the cover of Amy Orrell’s forthcoming fantasy novel These Fated Gifts, a dramatic tale of magic, power, love and the need to belong. Out 16 Oct 2026. Amy herself painted the beautiful cover.

These Fated Gifts by Amy Orrell; Cover art painted by Amy Orrell; on a swirling body of water with reeds in the foreground, two swallowtail butterflies flutter above the water while a pair of lightbursts have left an interweaving trail. In the distance is the skyline of a city with skyscrapers that looks to be a future version of London.

… What if an alien eco-warrior decided to take unilateral action against some of humanity’s worst offenders? Would an intergalactic agency try to stop them? Paradox Lost, out today, is available in eBook and paperback from all good retailers. books2read.com/ParadoxLost

Cover image for Paradox Lost by V.R. Ling. Cover art by Alison Buck and NASA. Against a starry black background, a NASA image of the Earth with a greenish alien hand holding a shiny black ball in front of it. Two quotes are included “gripping sci-fi with a darkly humorous flip side” and “a thrilling story”.

We are delighted to publish Paradox Lost by V.R.Ling today. “Where are the aliens?” asked Fermi. “Avoiding us” is the likely answer, “due to dismay and disgust at the way humans treat one another and other sentient life”. But…

Out today: The Cedar & The Sapphire by Miles Nelson, the delightful sequel to his The Forge & The Flood. Continuing the story of the Lutra and the Ailura, and especially Indigo and Sienna, the book is once again about love and hope, and those who support you when you're struggling.

Cover image by Miles Nelson, for his The Cedar & The Sapphire. On a white background, two animals sit facing away from the viewer between grass and yellow flowers. On the left is a Lutra (like an otter) with blue fur dappled with light grey speckles. On the right is an Ailura (like a red panda) with a brown coat and a bushy tail ringed with white stripes. The two animals are snuggled together, tails intertwined.
