The Shadow in the Glass by J.J.A. Harwood
Harwood's chilling debut infuses the classic Cinderella story with a layered, sensual, and embittered flavour — and transforms it into a more humane story where passion, desperation, and desires run high and happily-ever-after is not without cost.

The Kingdom of Liars by Nick Martell (The Legacy of Mercenary Kings #1)
The Kingdom of Liars is a solid, enthralling debut offering a story of costly magic, betrayal, murder, and ultimately the worth of a legacy — especially in a world where memories are fleeting and not always trustworthy.
