The Stormlight Archive saga continues in Rhythm of War, the eagerly awaited sequel to Brandon

Sanderson’s number one New York Times best-selling Oathbringer, from an epic fantasy writer at the top

of his game.

After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights

Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and

the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar’s crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move.

Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin’s scholars begin to change the face of the war,

the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very

core of the Radiant ideals and potentially reveal the secrets of the ancient tower that was once the

heart of their strength.

At the same time that Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role within the Knights

Radiant, his Windrunners face their own problem: As more and more deadly enemy Fused awaken to wage war,

no more honorspren are willing to bond with humans to increase the number of Radiants. Adolin and

Shallan must lead the coalition’s envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either

convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium or personally face the storm of failure.

A door opens. An army of dragons advance. And the fate of the living rests with the dead.

After obtaining the secret to creating dragons, the leader of the Fhrey has turned the tide of war once

more – but gaining the advantage has come at a terrible price. While Imaly plots to overthrow the fane

for transgressions against his people, a mystic and a keeper are the only hope for the Rhunes. Time is

short, and the future of both races hangs in the balance. In this exciting conclusion to the Legends of

the First Empire series, the Great War finally comes to a climactic end, and with it dawns a new era in

the Age of Empyre.

From the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan comes the concluding

the Riyria tales, Legends is a stand-alone fantasy series that is independent of the Riyris. But for

those who do listen to both series, Legends will unmask lies and reveal the truth about Elan’s history

and the men and women who shaped what the world became.

Language: English

A Belligerent Springtide!

Being the most powerful wizard in the world can be a challenge….

After defending his fledgling realm against the undead lord Gaja Katar all winter long, Count Minalan of

the Magelaw faces a new threat in the spring: the Nemovort Shakathet, favored of Korbal, leading the

mighty hordes out of the Penumbra. This time, Minalan faces a real strategist; one who drives his armies

with purpose and efficiency. The road to war leads through Megelin Castle and the vulnerable lands to

the south of Vanado. Old enemies will become allies, and old friends will become valuable assets.

War, however, is not what is preoccupying Minalan; the knowledge of the end of the world is. As he

broods on existential issues and debates with various goddesses and Alka Alon about Calidore’s fate, he

must overcome his own fears and anxieties and impose order on the situation before everything goes into

the chamber pot.

The solution? Hire an arcanist, a specialist in the obscure and trivial, to organize and investigate the

many matters Minalan has to manage and bring them to order.

The Sandman

Written by: Neil Gaiman, Dirk Maggs
Narrated by: Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Neil Gaiman, James McAvoy, Samantha Morton, Bebe

Neuwirth, Andy Serkis, Michael Sheen
Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins

Release date: 2020-07-15
Language: English

Please note: This content is not for kids. It is for mature audiences only. Just like the original

graphic novels, this audio adaptation contains explicit language and graphic violence, as well as strong

sexual content and themes. Discretion is advised.

Hailed by the Los Angeles Times Magazine as “the greatest epic in the history of comic books,” The

Sandman changed the game with its dark, literary world of fantasy and horror—creating a global, cultural

phenomenon in the process. At long last, Audible and DC present the first-ever audio production of The

New York Times best-selling series written by acclaimed storyteller Neil Gaiman (who also serves as co-

executive producer). Adapted and directed by multi-award-winner (and frequent Gaiman collaborator) Dirk

Maggs, and performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy (It, Parts one and two, X-Men: First Class,

Split) in the title role, this first installment of a multi-part original audio series will transport

you to a world that re-writes the rules of audio entertainment the way that The Sandman originally re-

defined the graphic novel.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus—the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination—

is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before

finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him

to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence. As the multi-threaded story unspools,

The Sandman descends into Hell to confront Lucifer (Michael Sheen), chases rogue nightmares who have

escaped his realm, and crosses paths with an array of characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and

real-world history, including: Inmates of Gotham City’s Arkham Asylum, Doctor Destiny, the muse

Calliope, the three Fates, William Shakespeare (Arthur Darvill), and many more.

A powerhouse supporting cast helps translate this masterwork into a sonic experience worthy of its

legacy, including Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, Andy Serkis,

and more. Setting the stage for their performance is an unprecedented cinematic soundscape featuring an

original musical score by British Academy Award winner James Hannigan. Fans will especially revel in a

new twist for the audio adaptation: Neil Gaiman himself serves as the narrator. Follow him as he leads

listeners along a winding path of myths, imagination and, often, terror. Even in your wildest dreams,

you’ve never heard anything like this.

Wallace
Length: 4 hrs and 40 mins

Release date: 2020-02-27
Language: English

Assassin’s Creed: Gold is a stand-alone tale from the Assassin’s Creed universe in which we meet Aliyah

Khan, a card shark and hustler who’s been dealt a rough hand in life. Surviving through her smarts and

street scams, Aliyah struggles to get by until she loses big time to a mysterious older man, Gavin

Banks. Her only option to repay Banks is to become an Assassin. During her training, Banks tells Aliyah

of the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars, imploring her to help him decode a

secret message inscribed on an illegal form of currency during the Great Recoinage of 1696.

With a cast of characters beloved the world over by fans of the franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Gold tells

a gripping tale of imminent economic collapse, featuring appearances from Warden of the Royal Mint,

Isaac Newton, con artist and counterfeiter William Chaloner, blind assassin Omar Khaled and assassin

trainer Rose Galloway. Equal parts adrenaline-fueled and thought-provoking, Assassin’s Creed: Gold draws

a compelling parallel with the financial chaos of Isaac Newton’s 17th-century Britain and the economic

uncertainty of our more recent history.

Audible’s new full-cast drama will realise the clash of the Assassins and Templars as a gripping audio

thriller with lead performances from Riz Ahmed (Emmy winner, Golden Globe nominee, The Night Of, Rogue

One, Four Lions), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Merlin, Little Britain), Danny Wallace (BAFTA

Games Award winner, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed III) and Tamara Lawrance (Corvidae, On

Chesil Beach).

Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best

seller Dennis E. Taylor.

More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has

been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an

expedition to learn Bender’s fate – whatever the cost.

But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and

replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore. Some of them

oppose Bob’s plan; others have plans of their own. The out-of-control moots are the least of the

Bobiverse’s problems.

Undaunted, Bob and his allies follow Bender’s trail. But what they discover out in deep space is so

unexpected and so complex that it could either save the universe – or pose an existential threat the

likes of which the Bobiverse has ever faced.

Heaven’s River is the fourth installment in the blockbuster Audible Original Bobiverse series – which

has sold more than one million copies.

Release date: 2020-04-30
Language: English

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a

hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King’s

hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them.

There’s just one slight problem. It’s only been 23 years since the Demon King’s latest rise, and this

time, he’s already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero’s return,

there may be no world left for him to save.

And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan.

She’ll find a way to obtain the Hero’s legendary sword. She’ll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and

increase her skills. She’ll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one

specific Hero to complete. And, if she’s truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.

She might not be a Hero – but if she can fake it long enough, she might still be able to save the world.

in a brand-new trilogy where evil hides in plain sight and love cuts deeper than any blade. Chain of

Gold is a Shadowhunters novel.

Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her

father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the

family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather

than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into

their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and

warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who

is sworn to marry someone else.

But Cordelia’s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These

monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before – these demons walk in daylight, strike

down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. London is immediately quarantined.

Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has

gifted them with incredible powers – and forced a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of

The mega-selling author of the Divergent franchise delivers her masterful first novel for adults

Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly

powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of

choice – catastrophic events known as Drains – leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen

Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him.

After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal…for everyone but them. After all, what do you

do when you’re the most famous people on Earth, your only education was in magical destruction, and your

purpose in life is now fulfilled?

Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting. Everyone else blames the PTSD – and her huge

attitude problem – but really, she’s hiding secrets from them…secrets that keep her tied to the past

and alienate her from the only four people in the world who understand her.

On the 10th anniversary of the Dark One’s defeat, something unthinkable happens: one of the Chosen Ones

dies. When the others gather for the funeral, they discover the Dark One’s ultimate goal was much bigger

than they, the government, or even prophecy could have foretold – bigger than the world itself. And this

time, fighting back might take more than Sloane has to give.

Wolf’s Bane

Written by: Kelley Armstrong

Series: Otherworld: Kate & Logan, Book 1
Length: 8 hrs and 1 min
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 2020-02-04
Language: English

Summer camp is a traditional teenage rite of passage, but when you add supernatural powers to the

typically high dosage of adolescent hormones – you get an even more combustible mix. Sixteen-year-old

werewolf twins Kate and Logan Danvers are none too thrilled at being shipped off to a supernatural youth

leadership conference in West Virginia.

From the moment they arrive at the camp, the twins sense something is off, and they react in their usual

manner – Logan reserving judgment and surveying the setup while Kate charges forward, determined to get

answers. Kate and Logan quickly ascertain that most of the conference attendees have already formed

hostile factions, leaving the twins and a few other misfits to band together.

What seems like teen hormones in overdrive becomes something much more dangerous, even deadly. Add in a

strange magic-warded cabin in the woods and a local history rife with curses and macabre legends, and it

becomes clear this was a really, really bad place to build a camp for teenage supernaturals.

The Martian

Language: English

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds

himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive – and even if he

could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving

environment, or plain old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills – and a

relentless, dogged refusal to quit – he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle

after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 2020-03-24
Language: English

Three-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author N.K. Jemisin crafts her most

incredible novel yet, a “glorious” story of culture, identity, magic, and myths in contemporary New York

City.

In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn’t remember who he is, where

he’s from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and

feel its power.

In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so

beautiful and powerful it’s as if the paint is literally calling to her.

In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of

her Louboutin heels.

And they’re not the only ones.

Every great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as

children. New York? She’s got six.

The Instant New York Times Best Seller

Who has the right to change the world forever? How will we live online? How do we find comfort in an

increasingly isolated world?

The Carls disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While the robots were on Earth, they

caused confusion and destruction with only their presence. Part of their maelstrom was the sudden viral

fame and untimely death of April May: a young woman who stumbled into the Carls’ path, giving them their

name, becoming their advocate, and putting herself in the middle of an avalanche of conspiracy theories.

Months later, April’s friends are trying to find their footing in a post-Carl world. Andy has picked up

April’s mantle of fame, speaking at conferences and online; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a

string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda is contemplating defying

her friends’ advice and pursuing a new scientific operation…one that might have repercussions beyond

anyone’s comprehension. Just as it is starting to seem like the gang may never learn the real story

behind the events that changed their lives forever, a series of clues arrive – mysterious books that

seem to predict the future and control the actions of their readers – all of which seems to suggest that

April could be very much alive.

In the midst of the search for the truth and the search for April is a growing force, something that

wants to capture our consciousness and even control our reality.

A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor is the bold and brilliant follow-up to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. It

is a fast-paced adventure that is also a biting social commentary, asking hard, urgent questions about

the way we live, our freedoms, our future, and how we handle the unknown.

The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has

civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction…and yet, even as the evidence

one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known.

Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the

reality of this collapse. But “control” is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as

many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final,

desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her

thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity.

And yet it may not be enough.

Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization…or the last emperox to wear the crown?
