\nPaladin’s Legacy<\/strong><\/h1>\nby Elizabeth Moon<\/strong><\/p>\nPromo copy:<\/strong><\/p>\nAcclaimed author Elizabeth Moon spins gripping, richly imagined epic fantasy novels that have earned comparisons to the work of such authors as Robin Hobb and Lois McMaster Bujold. In this volume, Moon\u2019s brilliant masterwork reaches its triumphant conclusion.<\/p>\n
The mysterious reappearance of magery throughout the land has been met with suspicion, fear, and violence. In the kingdom of Lyonya, Kieri, the half-elven, half-human king, struggles to balance the competing demands of his heritage while fighting a deadly threat to his rule: evil elves linked in some way to the rebirth of magic.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the neighboring kingdom of Tsaia, a set of ancient artifacts recovered by the former mercenary Dorrin Verrakai may hold the answer to the riddle of magery\u2019s return. Thus Dorrin embarks on a dangerous quest to return these relics of a bygone age to their all-but-mythical place of origin. What she encounters there will change her in unimaginable ways\u2014and spell doom or salvation for the entire world.<\/p>\n

\nStar Wars: Empire and Rebellion<\/strong><\/h1>\nby James S. A. Corey

Corey\u2014make their\u00a0Star Wars<\/i>\u00a0debut in this brand-new epic adventure featuring Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia Organa. The action begins after the destruction of the Death Star in\u00a0Star Wars:\u00a0<\/i>Episode IV\u00a0A New Hope<\/i>.<\/b><\/p>\n
When the Empire threatens the galaxy\u2019s new hope, will Han, Luke, and Leia become its last chance?<\/i>
\n\u00a0<\/b>
\nWhen the mission is to extract a high-level rebel spy from the very heart of the Empire, Leia Organa knows the best man for the job is Han Solo\u2014something the princess and the smuggler can finally agree on. After all, for a guy who broke into an Imperial cell block and helped destroy the Death Star, the assignment sounds simple enough.<\/p>\n
But when Han locates the brash rebel agent, Scarlet Hark, she\u2019s determined to stay behind enemy lines. A pirate plans to sell a cache of stolen secrets that the Empire would destroy entire worlds to protect\u2014including the planet where Leia is currently meeting with rebel sympathizers. Scarlet wants to track down the thief and steal the bounty herself, and Han has no choice but to go along if he\u2019s to keep everyone involved from getting themselves killed. From teeming city streets to a lethal jungle to a trap-filled alien temple, Han, Chewbacca, Leia, and their daring new comrade confront one ambush, double cross, and firestorm after another as they try to keep crucial intel out of Imperial hands.<\/p>\n
But even with the crack support of Luke Skywalker\u2019s x-wing squadron, the Alliance heroes may be hopelessly outgunned in their final battle for the highest of stakes: the power to liberate the galaxy from tyranny or ensure the Empire\u2019s reign of darkness forever.<\/p>\n
