Bands of Mourning: A Mistborn Novel by Brandon SandersonThe Bands of Mourning are the mythical metalminds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read.

Feverborn: A Fever Novel by Karen Marie MoningWhen the Fae destroyed the wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged and now Earth is vanishing. Only the long-lost Song of Making—a haunting melody that is the source of life itself—can save the planet. But those who seek the song must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and a deep hunger for vengeance. The challenges are many: the Keltar war with nine immortals who’ve secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man.
Under threat of a brutal massacre, Saira and Ringo travel back to Bletchley Park during World War II where they team up with Archer from the past to crack a Nazi code and expose a Monger intent on changing the course of history. They join forces with a female commando from the French resistance to hunt down an elite unit of Monger soldiers - Hitler’s Werewolves - before the terror squad can strike a fatal blow at the heart of the Allied war effort.
The plan was simple: Find Ulric, the lost king of Tyrea, then return him to Luid to reclaim his throne from the tyrant who stole it. But though Aren, Rowan, and Nox accomplished the first part of their task, the rest is proving to be more complicated. Severn won’t give up his throne without a fight. Worse, it seems Ulric did not fare as well during his years in captivity as he’s led everyone to believe—and Rowan may not have escaped unscathed, either. If Nox doesn’t find a cure for the king’s mysterious ailment, Aren will be forced to challenge Severn for the crown. It’s a battle Aren has little hope of winning. And if he does, it will cost him the love and the freedom he’s fought so hard to gain.

As always, Atticus wouldn’t mind backup. But his allies have problems of their own. Ornery archdruid Owen Kennedy is having a wee bit of trouble: turns out when you stiff a troll, it’s not water under the bridge. Meanwhile, Granuaile is desperate to free herself of Loki’s mark and elude his powers of divination.All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders
