  • The Dark Legacy Of Shannara III. For centuries the Four Lands enjoyed freedom from its demon-haunted past, protected by magic-enhanced borders from the dark dimension known as the Forbidding and the profound evil imprisoned there. But now the unthinkable is happening: The ancient wards securing the barrier between order and mayhem have begun to erode - and generations of bloodthirsty, monstrous creatures, fueled by a rage thousands of years in the making, are poised to spill forth, seeking revenge for what was done to them. Young Elf Arling Elessedil possesses the enchanted means to close the breach and once more seal the denizens of the Forbidding in their prison. But when she falls into the hands of the powerful Federation’s diabolical Prime Minister, her efforts may be doomed. Only her determined sister, Aphen, who bears the Elfstones and commands their magic, has any hope of saving Arling from the hideous fate her captor has in store. Meanwhile, Railing Ohmsford - desperate to save his imprisoned brother - seeks to discover if his famed but ill-fated ancestor Grianne is still alive and willing to help him save the world...no matter the odds or the consequences.

  • Book XII of Discworld; Book III of Witches. Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head and poor planning skills - which unfortunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmothers when DEATH came for Desiderata. So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince. But the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio encounter the occasional vampire, werewolf and falling house (this is a fairy tale, after all...) The trouble really begins once the reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who not only insists that the servant girl has to marry the prince but who will stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"...because that's what life is all about...even if it means destroying a kingdom.  Cover art by Josh Kirby.
  • Book V of Landover. With peace reigning in the Magic Kingdom at last, Ben Holiday was finally free to lie back and watch his daughter grow. Which she did - by leaps and bounds. Born a seedling and nourished by soil from Landover, Earth and the fairy mists, Mistaya was a unique child, as dazzling as her mother, the sylph Willow, and fiery and impatient with those who couldn't keep up with her lightning- fast development. But Ben's idyll was not to last. The dark and pitiless Rydall, king of lands beyond the fairy mists, was at the gates of Sterling Silver. His armies ready to invade if Ben would not accept his challenge: to face and defeat seven different champions of Rydall's choice. And accept he must, for Mistaya had been snatched from her guardians by foul magic and only Rydall had the key to her fate ...Cover art by Steve Stone.

Across the sea, in faraway Old Ethshar, there were dragons to be slain, princesses and gold to be won, magic castles and witches who knew the secret of immortality.  But these were prizes beyond the reach of a wizard whose only talent was arson. With a heavy heart and empty stomach, Tobas resolves to travel to Ethshar anyway. Somehow his burning ambition would be realised...Cover art by Geoff Taylor

  • Book III of  Landover. Ben Holiday, High Lord of Landover, is back in his rightful place. The evil wizard Meeks has been dealt with and all seems at peace. But even in a Magic Kingdom, peace doesn't last long. It was all Questor Thews' fault, whether or not the inept Court Wizard wanted to admit it. His bumbling attempt to return Abernathy, the Court Scribe, from a dog back to his human form resulted in the Scribe vanishing from a magic circle to be replaced by a multi-coloured bottle. The bottle looked familiar to Thews, but he couldn't quite remember why. And Abernathy had been wearing the High Lord's medallion, the loss of which curtailed Ben's powers drastically. Abernathy had shown up in a castle on Earth belonging to Michel Ard Rhi, the Scribe's sworn enemy. So when Ben and Willow follow Abernathy to Earth, Questor was left in charge but in both worlds, things go rapidly from bad to worse...Cover art by Rowena Morrill.
