*THE TRAITOR QUEEN (The Traitor Spy Trilogy Book Three) by Trudi Canavan Fantasy | 592 pp | Orbit | May 2012 The final instalment in Trudi Canavan’s brilliant Traitor Spy Trilogy. Buoyed by the news that Lorkin is coming home, Sonea prepares to meet with the Traitors on behalf of the Guild. Then news comes that the Sachakan king has imprisoned Lorkin, demanding that her son reveal all about the Traitors. Suddenly her journey has a more personal urgency and purpose. In Arvice, Dannyl’s battle to free Lorkin brings him into conflict with Ashaki Achati. He does not know if he can trust the Sachakan. Not far at all, if Tayend is right. But do Tayend’s suspicions spring from good political instincts, or jealousy? Still managing to evade capture by the Guild, only one obstacle lies between the Rogue and his ambition to rule the underworld: Cery. When assassins force Cery to his hiding place of last resort, it is up to Lilia to keep him safe, while at the same time training to be Sonea’s replacement. But her teacher, Black Magician Kallen, has his own personal struggles to deal with. And Lorkin must make a life-changing decision: who is he loyal to, and what is he prepared to sacrifice for them? Trudi Canavan lives in the Melbourne suburb of Ferntree Gully. As well as writing fantasy, she works as a freelance designer and illustrator, and is Art Director for an Australian SFF magazine.

But the Traitors are reluctant to trade their knowledge for the Healing they so desperately want and, while he assumes they fear revealing their existence to the world, there are hints they have bigger plans. Sonea searches for the rogue, knowing that Cery cannot avoid assassination for ever, but the rogue's influence over the city's underworld is far greater than she feared. His only weakness is the loss of his mother, now locked away in the Lookout. In Sachaka, Dannyl has lost the respect of the Sachakan elite for letting Lorkin join the Traitors. The Ashaki's attention has shifted, instead, to the new Elyne Ambassador, a man Dannyl knows all too well. And in the University, two female novices are about to remind the Guild that sometimes their greatest enemy is found within. Trudi Canavan lives in the Melbourne suburb of Ferntree Gully.

An ex-slave and trained assassin who defeated the Mamluk navy but cannot make the woman he loves love him back. Tortured by secrets, afraid of the daylight, he sees no reason to save a city he hates. The grieving Lady Giulietta. Impossibly rich, deeply spoilt. A virgin, a mother, a widow... Both emperors want her hand for their sons in marriage. All she wants is to retire from the poisonous world of the Venetian court to mourn her husband in peace. And finally a naked, mud-strewn girl who crawls from a paupers' grave on an island in the Venetian lagoon and begins by killing the men who buried her. All love affairs are complicated at times but on this one hangs the fate of Europe's richest city and two empires. French rights Bragelonne German rights Droemer Spanish rights Alianza THE FALLEN BLADE: Act One of the Assassini by Jon Courtenay Grimwood Fantasy | 432pp | Orbit | February 2011 A tale of ambition, revenge and the rise of a vampire assassin from this critically acclaimed British author. V  enice in the early fifteenth century is at the height of its power. In theory the Duke Marco commands. But Marco is a simpleton so his aunt and uncle rule in his stead. They command the seas, tax the colonies and, like those in power before them, fear assassins better than their own. On the night their world changes, Marco’s fifteen year old cousin is praying for deliverance from a forced marriage. It is her bad fortune to be alone in the chapel when Mamluk pirates break in to steal a chalice, but it is the Mamluk’s good luck – a Millioni princess is a much greater prize. In the gardens behind the chapel, Atilo, the Duke’s chief assassin, dispatches his latest victim. Having cut the man’s throat, he hears a noise and turns back. He finds a boy crouched over the dying man, drinking from the wound. The speed with which the boy dodges a thrown dagger and scales a wall stuns Atilo. And the assassin knows he has to find the boy. Not to kill him, but because he’s finally stumbled upon what he thought he would never find. Someone fit to be his apprentice. Jon Courtenay Grimwood studied at Kingston College and has worked as a freelance writer for magazines and newspapers including The Guardian. He has won two British Science Fiction Association awards for his novels FELAHEEN and END OF THE WORLD BLUES.

Matthew Swift is having career problems. It’s not the sorcery that bothers him, or even teaching his new apprentice the secrets of urban magic. Swift’s problem is much bigger than that – his problem is protecting the city. And it’s a stinker. No one ever said being Midnight Mayor was going to be easy, but then, no one ever said anything useful about how to do it in the first place. Even without a manual on staving off the magical darknesses that linger at the end of the alleys, Matthew Swift is feeling out of his depth. It’s made no easier by the fact that the Aldermen, the inquisitors of the city, in theory tasked with helping him carry out his duties, are starting to mutter among themselves, and plots are slowly spreading through the ranks of the very people who should be on his side. Throw in an angry social worker with a bad hair problem, a creature with a taste for human souls and a drugs baron who’s found a new and interesting market strategy for his narcotics, and it’s just not going to be a good day. And even if Swift can survive long enough to save the day, the city and his friends, there’s still the thorny question – can he save himself? THE NEON COURT by Kate Griffin Fantasy | 400pp | Orbit | February 2011 The third novel detailing the adventures of resurrected sorcerer Matthew Swift, in a tale of mystery, revenge and intrigue on the streets of a magical London. W  hen the city was founded, he was the mad native spirit that waited in the dark, on the edge of the torchlight. When the streets were cobbled over, he became the footsteps heard on stone that you cannot see. When the Victorians introduced street lighting, he was the shadow who always shied away from the light, and when the gas went out, there he was. The shadow at the end of the alley, the footsteps half-heard in the night. A daimyo of the Neon Court is dead. So are two warriors of the Tribe. And a freshly-prophesied ‘chosen one’ is missing. Each side blames the other and Matthew Swift is right in the middle of it, trying to keep the peace. Because when magicians go to war, everyone loses. But Swift has even bigger problems. A dead woman is trying to kill him and the city itself is under attack from a force of unimaginable power. As if trying to stay one step ahead of an assassin and juggling magical politics weren’t challenging enough, Swift must also find a way to defeat a primal threat from humanity’s darkest nightmares. Or there may not be a London left to fight over. Kate Griffin is the name under which Carnegie Medal-nominated author, Catherine Webb, writes fantasy novels for adults. This is the third book in her Matthew Swift series. An acclaimed author of young adult books under her own name, Catherine’s amazing debut, MIRROR DREAMS, was written when she was only fourteen years old, and garnered comparisons with Terry Pratchett and Philip Pullman.

T  he Flying Dutchman (or Hellship) is a faster-than-light scout ship that was supposed to seek out habitable planets, while also cautiously observing alien civilisations to discover which of them might be a danger to mankind. But, a millennium ago, it flew into a black hole while being pursued by dangerous aliens. And it never came back. The vessel is now heavily armed and spends its days travelling from universe to universe - exploring, discovering, scouting and also killing, looting, and annihilating. For the captain and crew of the Dutchman all lost their minds and souls many years ago. They are now monsters, haunted by the remnants of their humanity, and they take sublime joy in killing. They are, in short, the bad guys. But luckily their nemesis David Bishop is idealistic, driven and has made catching the Hellship his life’s work. This is an all-action chase drama in which the hero is the last living human being from his own particular universe. You may also find it bleakly funny, richly nasty, fast-paced and exhilarating - and maybe even terrifying.
