Cry of Justice by Jason Pratt - click here to learn more
Epics end; a saga begins. To save two worlds, the sorcerer Pug and the Conclave of Shadows make a final desperate onslaught against the most malevolent agents of evil ever known in Raymond E. Feist's conclusion to the Darkwar Saga, Wrath of a Mad God. Powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, a lone man bears the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves - and has lost - in Terry Goodkind's final Sword of Truth book, Confessor. In the wake of sweeping war, a maga leads a ragged brigade against increasingly ruthless adversaries in Jason Pratt's trilogy opening Cry of Justice. *Child 44* by Tom Rob Smith

Hope and love, pride and honor

Monsters wander the world of Mikon. Caught in the aftermath of a vicious international war, thousands of refugees have fled the Coastal States, bringing danger with them into the wilderness near the untamed Middlelands.

Castaways from an imploding civilization fight to find and to understand the most dangerous of treasures: Portunista, a maga seeking her path to Imperial glory; Seifas, a hunter whose words are his tears; Gaekwar, 'only a cowherd' yet wielding exotic weaponry; Othon, a quiet, quick-thinking giant of a man; Dagon, a miserable commander with a knack for solving puzzles; Pooralay, a thug on a mystical quest; Bomas, a renegade killer planning a subtle genocide; Artabanus, self-proclaimed Arbiter, drawing every power to himself; and Praxiteles, incompetent madman, possessing and possessed by the Roguent Gamin.

In their increasingly desperate struggles - for food, for knowledge, for life itself - what will make the difference between brigades and bands of brigands?
