Hello didong, This week saw the celebration of National Book Lovers Day, but here on Discovery we celebrate books every day. Today's selection includes two promising fantasy series, each bringing a refreshing take on the genre's most loved tropes, as well as a thriller whose protagonist must fight the clock to find her tormentor. There are also two beautiful poetry collections — one about womanhood, the other about discovering your spiritual roots. 🔥 Blue Matt Jeff's Out Of The Shadow is a dystopian fantasy novel set in a future where climate change and a genetic disease has led to a decrease in the male population. The five remaining male-dominated countries are ruled by tyrannical kings. When Princess Malak, the daughter of one such king, faces an arranged marriage, she flees to the neighboring female-led country of Hava. Fans of politically-driven fantasy novels with power-hungry leaders and rich worldbuilding will enjoy this first installment of the Under the Wing series. 💎 For another intriguing beginning to a fantasy series, look no further than Brendilynn Mantey-Annor's Ember in the Mist, which follows Neriah Rosewood as she grapples with her mother's disappearance. Neriah lives in Shiloh, a safe haven in a world of darkness. But when Nariah's brother also goes missing, Neriah is tasked with a secret mission that could change the fate of the world. This first installment of the Christian fantasy series The Pure Gems of Betzaria explores the classic theme of good versus evil, while putting a fresh spin on the reluctant heroine trope with its relatable protagonist. ✉️ Patrick MacDonald's The Invitation is a psychological thriller with a chilling premise: Claire Evans, a top forensic pathologist, receives an invitation to her own funeral in the post. As the narrative counts down to when the funeral is due to take place, Claire must determine whether someone is threatening her life or playing a prank on her. With a clever plot and multiple timelines, The Invitation delivers not only a suspenseful mystery, but also an exploration of being bi-polar and how mental health is addressed in today's society. Finally, for something gentler, try Nilam Patel's poetry collection Finding Her Being Her, which explores themes of self-discovery and solidarity for women of all ages. Also, check out Aaron Holt's collection Elevate: A Song of Hope, which combines multiple poetry styles in an autobiographical exploration of growth and finding your inner voice. Happy reading!
