Arnost's Account | Peter Harrison | Fantasy (NT) (C) (F)
Arnost has escaped the cold, constraining city he was raised in and is on his way north, searching for a life of more freedom. Freedom brings its own problems, though. In the north, highlanders zealously pillage and murder in worship of a bloodthirsty dragon. At the crossroads of these worlds of ice and fire, Arnost must dig deep to find a way to protect himself and the people he loves. Come along for a thrilling amalgamation of sword and sorcery, classic fairy-tale and lyrical ballad.

Underland and the Forehidden Kingdom | Stephen A. Davis | Fantasy, Young Adult (N) (I) (F)
Underland and the Forehidden Kingdom is a serialised, young adult, fantasy novel about an overconfident bookworm who finds himself in a parallel world where words are weapons, ideologies form fortresses, and intelligence without integrity may just cost you everything. When his inner turmoil manifests outwardly, he must literally face his demons in order to find his way home. What you think . . . What you believe . . . How you feel . . . It all matters in Underland—it all has consequences.
