Redemption isn't given. It's fought for. 

After years of violence, Solomon leaves the brutal backdrop of New York and its underworld to find peace in California where he settles for the quiet life of a gardener defined by routine, restraint, and a fragile kind of peace that had alluded him. Having been a former child soldier, mercenary, and hit man, he is determined to put his past behind him. But as violence erupts on the grounds he tends, his hard-won tranquility shatters when he encounters a young boy named Gaby whose life is in danger.

Protecting the child pulls Solomon back into a world he swore he'd buried. As they set out on an unexpected journey, hunted by men who will stop at nothing to get what they want, Solomon must confront not only the threat closing in but the darkness he carries within.

Propulsive and deeply human,Laws of Solomon is a story of redemption, found family, and the cost of choosing compassion in a brutal world. In saving Gaby, Solomon may finally discover whether peace is something a man like him can earn―or something he must sacrifice everything to protect.

Nadia

I expect nothing.

From life, from God, from men.

I don't hope or want or pray. Those are luxuries I can't afford when I'm doing the desperate math of survival while walking the tight rope of life on the run in a strange city.

New Haven wasn't supposed to be a fresh start. That would be asking too much from a life that took my parents from me and left me vulnerable to monsters. To be used but not loved. To be kept but not cherished.

I'd accepted my fate, settled in it like sore feet in a pair of ill fitted heels, but then he walked into my life and released me from the prison of my past, leaving me free to hope, to want, to love.

Sebastian

I didn't know I was looking for anything until I was looking at her.

And since the moment she came into my view, I haven't been able to look away. There's something sad behind her eyes. Something desperate in the way she moves through the world. Like the devil is on her heels and she doesn't know whether to run or stay and fight.

Other people's problems aren't usually something I have time for, but for her I'll make time. For her, I'll stand and fight. I'll make her battles my battles, her dreams my dreams, and her safety my top priority.

"Walter Mosley is on my Mount Rushmore of crime fiction."—S.A. Cosby

"One of contemporary literature's pre-eminent crime novelists."—New York Times

Crooks make the best detectives. They know how the guilty think and where the guilty hide.

From bestselling "master of the genre" (Washington Post) Walter Mosley, a thrilling novel about a hardened criminal who regrets his violent past—but whose only hope for redemption is to sin again

In a small town between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, a simple white-stone church sits atop a hill. It belongs to no denomination. Its priest, Father Frank, never speaks of God. The members of his congregation have broken every one of the commandments. They have gathered here to seek forgiveness.

Xavier Rule—Ecks to his friends—didn't come to California searching for salvation. A thief and a killer on the run from the law, he expected to disappear. But under Father Frank's strange ministry, Ecks has started to forgive himself and others for past misdeeds. Then Benol Richards walks through the door. Twenty-three years ago, she helped her lover kidnap three baby boys and sold them on the black market—she has carried the guilt with her ever since. Now she wants to know what became of the children, and Father Frank gives Ecks the job of finding out.

Crooks make the best detectives. They know how the guilty think and where the guilty hide. But if Ecks is to pick up this trail and follow where it leads, he will have to fight his old, lethal instincts—and know when justice demands he give in to them.

“Magical and dangerous. I could not put it down.”—Tayari Jones, bestselling author of Kin

From the New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger, a “smart, searing” (Washington Post) novel following a strong-willed Haitian American woman who must survive a brutal kidnapping—now featuring a new foreword by the author

Published to terrific acclaim and a national bestseller, An Untamed State heralded Roxane Gay as a prodigious, arresting talent and one of the preeminent writers working today. 

By all appearances, Mireille Duval Jameson is living the perfect life: she’s the daughter of one of Haiti’s richest sons and has an adoring husband and a precocious infant son. The fairytale ends when Mireille is kidnapped in broad daylight by a gang of heavily armed men in front of her father’s Port-au-Prince estate. Held for ransom, Mireille must endure the torments of a man who calls himself the Commander and who resents everything she represents. 

A powerful, unflinching story of wealth in the face of crushing poverty and the lawless anger that corrupt governments produce, Roxane Gay’s brilliant debut is the tale of one strong-willed woman, and redemption found in the most unexpected of places.

When a plane crash leaves them stranded on a desert island, a no-nonsense in-flight concierge must rely on the arrogant rapper she swore she’d never fall for.

It’s in-flight concierge Ariana Williams’s last day working for Echelon. After fifteen years flying with the private airline and attending to the rich and the famous, she’s just about seen it all. That is, until bigtime rapper Villain steps aboard. He and his rowdy entourage hound Ariana from the moment they take off, making endless demands and throwing suggestive comments her way. Growing impatient with his immature advances, she blurts out that she wouldn’t sleep with him even if he were the last man on Earth.

Suddenly, the plane jolts and barrels out of the sky, crashing onto a beach. Ariana and Villain awake in the wreckage to discover they’re the sole survivors, stranded on a deserted island. Forced to work with him to find food and shelter, Ariana begins to see the actual Vincent Newcastle behind the swaggering public image. And the way he takes charge to fend for them both ignites a passion deep within her.

When rescue finally comes, reality hits hard―the headlines, scrutiny, and relationships they left behind put them in a difficult position. But as outside pressures mount, their connection only intensifies. Soon they’ll be forced to choose between their previous lives or finding a way forward with the love they built together on the island.

This edition includes a bonus epilogue and discussion questions.

The Last Man on Earth is a forced-proximity, age-gap survival romance featuring explicit sex. It is intended for mature readers.

The “powerful” (Michelle Alexander) exploration of the harsh and harmful experiences confronting Black girls in schools, revised and updated for its tenth anniversary

On the day fifteen-year-old Diamond from the Bay Area stopped going to school she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school. A decade later, Black girls continue to be the fastest growing population in the juvenile justice system.

On the tenth anniversary of its publication, Pushout, Monique Couvson’s groundbreaking book, hailed by educator Lisa Delpit as “imperative reading,” remains as urgent and necessary as ever. Couvson chronicles the experiences of Black girls across the country whose complex lives are misunderstood, highly judged—by teachers, administrators, and the justice system—and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Painting “a chilling picture of the plight of Black girls and women today” (The Atlantic), Couvson exposes a world of confined potential, and supports the rising movement to challenge the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures.

This tenth-anniversary edition is truly a book “for everyone who cares about children” (The Washington Post), serving as both a call to action and a testament to the lives and futures we must protect.

With shades of Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice and Choi Jin-young’s Hunger, Employee No. 9 runs a psychological gauntlet of money, power, duty, and the daily struggle for survival.

No. 9 is in trouble. His son’s college tuition is coming due, his wife needs surgery after taking double shifts at a grocery store, the apartment building they bought as a nest egg is falling apart, and the company he helped build is trying to force him into early retirement. When he refuses, the mid-level IT man is demoted to sales and given increasingly impossible tasks. As his salary dwindles and the humiliations mount, No. 9 must decide where his loyalties lie. If he fights back, how far will the company go to stop him?

With her urgent and timely novel, award-winning Korean author Kim Hye-jin questions how long we can endure a corrupt system. In a rigged game, is there an alternative to playing out your hand?

The spiritual advisor to civil rights legends reminds us what faith demands in times that call for action and integrity.

People may be more divided than ever. But Howard Thurman says God can still transcend every barrier and heal every wound. Family feuds, church splits, racial tensions, political polarization, systemic injustice, and international conflicts can all be overcome if we keep turning to God.

Thurman’s message is rooted in his belief that true spirituality will transcend individualism and alleviate injustice and suffering. As spiritual advisor to civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and James Farmer, Thurman made the connection between faith and action.

In these selections from his many books, Thurman reflects on the power of silence, contemplative prayer, the need for community, and the call to “live in the world as it is and still believe in the possibility of redemption.” Whether you are new to his writings or have long admired his work, this little book offers a fresh approach to Thurman’s spiritual vision of reconciliation, justice, and a hope grounded in the transformative work of love in the world.

A Millions Most Anticipated 2026 Selection

"This is poetry of the highest order, and a stunning reminder of what words can do.”—Omar El Akkad

"Hold this book, read every word, study every picture, notice the prints you leave behind—a reminder that no one’s hands are clean."—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams

From National Book Award Finalist Fady Joudah, a collection of poems, essays, and photographs that offers a Palestinian representation of not only the staggering grief, but the unwavering resilience and prevailing life force of a people and place enduring genocide.  

Fady Joudah writes from the split perspective of a Palestinian American physician caring for the sick while watching the destruction of Gaza from the United States, a nation complicit in that destruction. He locates the paradox of his position everywhere: in the seed a sparrow eats from his proffered hand; in his writing in English, the oppressor’s language; in the faces of Palestinian children receiving meals from aid kitchens—a glimpse into what his life could have been, and what is being lost in a war disproportionately impacting children and their families. Throughout the book, beauty insists on its survival not only through the Palestinian people, but also through the nonhuman world in which he takes occasional refuge from the devastation that humanity brings upon itself.

By placing before readers a series of carefully chosen images from Gaza, Joudah presses his reader to comprehend that the experience of both the individual and the whole are integral to an explicitly Palestinian understanding of genocide, even if that rendering is a nearly impossible endeavor. Exhibit G insists on the immensity of Palestinian interiority, and finds in this collective act of creation a hyper-present awareness. “By claiming what is being actively erased,” Joudah writes, “I become presence.”

At once an indictment of genocide, a rendering of catastrophic loss, and “an affirmation of life instead of a staging of death” (Katherine Larson), Exhibit G insists that love exists in all its variousness, and that it is the only defense against a totalizing, destructive force.

“A landmark work of beauty, honesty, and insight.”—Helen Macdonald 

From acclaimed ornithologist and MacArthur Fellow J. Drew Lanham comes a modern classic of nature writing and memoir, newly expanded with reflections on the decade since its original publication. 

A decade after its original publication, The Home Place remains a distinguished work of American memoir and nature writing—a beloved bestseller that has inspired readers, birders, conservationists, and anyone seeking a deeper connection to the natural world.

In these pages, renowned ornithologist J. Drew Lanham traces his roots to Edgefield County, South Carolina, where generations of his family have lived since slavery. There, amid fields, forests, and fence rows, a young Lanham discovers the birds that will shape his life. Through birding, he finds wonder, purpose, and belonging, while beginning to grapple with what it means to be “the rare bird”—a Black naturalist in spaces where few people look like him.

With lyricism, humor, and unflinching honesty, Lanham explores race, inheritance, identity, and the enduring bonds between people and place. This special 10th anniversary edition includes new and expanded reflections that revisit the book’s central themes through the lens of a decade of cultural and environmental change, deepening the conversation that has made The Home Place a touchstone for readers across generations.

At once intimate and expansive, The Home Place is the story of a family’s roots, a birder’s awakening, and a lifelong love affair with nature. For longtime admirers and first-time readers alike, this anniversary edition celebrates a modern classic whose message of belonging, stewardship, and hope has only grown more urgent with time.

Misael Osorio-Conde’s debut collection some were just the Fragments / es qué fueron sólo unos Fragmentos center cultural, psychological, and linguistic border-crossings. Osorio-Conde's poems chart the experiences of his formative years where he learned to live in the shadows of exile as well as within a new language. Threading the needle between disclosure and acceptance, lyricism and narrative, and encapsulating new and inventive formal structures, the poems in some were just the Fragments / es qué fueron sólo unos Fragmentos attempt to make sense of Osorio-Conde’s crossing while grieving an indefinitely deferred return to his native land. The poems presented in this bilingual collection are built for our contemporary moment, while laced with the timeless realities, hardships, and most importantly, the successes, loves, family, and camaraderie that define human experience.

FROM THE WINNER OF THE NIGERIA PRIZE FOR LITERATURE

It is Baby’s birthday again, but Grace has not seen her first born in twenty-six years. Now a wife, mother to twin daughters and the owner of a successful medical clinic, Grace has carefully constructed a new life. Now, the secret she’s kept for decades is about to resurface—and it could destroy everything.

Grace was only fifteen when she got pregnant and, under pressure from her parents, gave Baby away. Unable to forgive their decision, she cut them off completely. When Grace’s estranged mother walks back into her life unannounced, the fragile existence she spent years building begins to unravel. And with it, the wall Grace has built against a question she must never ask: the question of what truly happened to Baby.

A tightly wound story of family, bitter secrets, and sweeter forgiving, Grace is a novel for all mothers and daughters, a must-read for fans of Bernardine Evaristo and Tayari P. Jones.

Introducing readers to five trans and nonbinary poets Splendor is an ode to queer bodies, with previously unpublished translations from Argentina, Denmark, Korea, Norway, and Quebec. From the irreverent and irresponsible to the quiet and meditative these poems decentralize our ideas of trans experience and poetics.

Splendor presents a sliver of the wide possibilities of what trans literature can offer. This is trans literature that transcends borders and binaries in order to engaging with a messy world. As Camila Sosa Villada writes, “Let us keep loving one another in this swamp of contradictions.”

Award-winning poet and performer Saul Williams explores how artists today must respond to systemic violence and injustice―in the words of Paul Robeson, by choosing sides.

Songs My Mother Taught Me is Williams’ clear-eyed exploration of the role of the artist in these times by answering the question: what radicalized you? He answers by examining how his role models―writers and artists, from Amiri Baraka to local musicians in Brazilian bars to Palestinian hip-hop heads―have responded to imperialist violence, oppression, and genocide. Riffing on Paul Robeson’s famous declaration, Williams builds a provocative case for why today’s artists cannot remain neutral in the face of injustice. “We need songs that crumble empires,” he writes, “films that teach, remind, and inspire, poems that would make a despot revoke your citizenship.”

The radical artists of the Vanguard Series offer new poetry and prose to answer the question, What does poetry have to do with politics?

In a world scarred by indiscriminate bombing, forced starvation, and mass displacement, a nameless survivor lies crushed beneath the rubble of a bombing—alive, but barely.

Entombed in darkness with no hope of rescue, he must navigate the thin edge between life and death using only his hearing, sense of smell, and the volatile power of his imagination. Above him a genocide unfolds. Below, in his fragile pocket of air, he begins to witness it in ways no unburied survivor ever could.

As hours blur into days, hallucination and reality weave together. Memories seep through the cracks. Fantastical visions rise from the dust. In this liminal state, he gains a strange, heightened clarity, an almost supernatural insight known only to those suspended between worlds, the mortally wounded who hover in the space where time fractures and the mind sharpens to a blade.

What begins as desperate escapism becomes a haunting chronicle of a people forced underground by violence, a nation living beneath the weight of another’s cruelty. In the darkness, he discovers a grim sanctuary: the rubble is a tomb but also a refuge from the firestorm above.

A wartime tale of resilience amid annihilation, Seraj Assi's debut novel plunges readers into the intimate terror of one man’s confinement and the collective suffering of his shattered homeland. As he reflects, “Being under the rubble is a strange thing. . . . You’re clinging to life not to live, but to defy death. Just because you’re breathing doesn’t mean you’re alive. You’re a ghost, and your homeland is but a ghostland.”

This is the story of a people driven underground not by myth or choice, but by force: “We are subterranean only because others refuse to allow us our place under the sun.”

A bold debut novel about male desire and alienation, and an exploration of the body as terrain of self-discovery 

In Black Male, a Senegalese anthropologist living in France drifts through Paris in the aftermath of his PhD, caught between casual relationships, intellectual ambition, and a deepening sense of emotional distance. Estranged from Senegal yet unable to fully belong in France, he navigates desire, loneliness, and the racialized expectations placed on his body and identity. 

A long-awaited visit from his mother forces him to confront family ties he has kept at arm’s length, while his relationships with women—both Black and white—bring questions of intimacy, power, and self-understanding into sharp focus. As love begins to feel possible, he must decide what kind of life, and what kind of man, he is willing to claim. 

Intimate, incisive, and unsentimental, Black Male is a powerful debut novel about masculinity, migration, and the difficult work of learning to love.

ELIZABETH GREGORY BOOK PARTY ONLY: This preorder is exclusively for the August 27 event. Preordered books will be available for pickup at the offsite event location on August 27.

An urgent and clear-eyed look at the battles over reproductive control and women’s work in our tipping-point moment—and how to forge a path forward.

Reliable birth control has enabled the rising percentage of planned births over the past 35 years,allowing women to enter the paid workforce and civic life in significant numbers for the first time in recorded history. While many Americans embrace these changes, those who see themselves as benefiting from the old hierarchies resist this progress with divisive rhetoric.

In The Real Domestic Product, fertility researcher Elizabeth Gregory argues that our battles over abortion and LGBTQ bans, pronatalism, and DEI are economic at base—that conservatives seek to push women out of civic life through forced childbearing. Their goal? To maintain their discount on domestic labor (getting the work of childrearing done for “free”) and a steady supply of low-wage workers (desperate parents who must take any job to feed the baby).

By connecting the dots among shifting fertility patterns, economics, climate change, equitable work, expanding longevity, and the rising status of formerly excluded groups, Gregory counters reactionary narratives. She demonstrates that a caring democracy and an end to systemic poverty can engender critical advantages for our economy and for our fragile planet.

Never more urgently needed, The Real Domestic Product envisions the way forward to an economy of care for our planet and its people.

After tragedy strikes the quiet town of Coyote's Point, an unlikely young woman is forced onto a dangerous path where justice, revenge, and survival become one and the same. THE OUTLAW CHERIE LEE begins a gritty three-part Western saga filled with outlaws, shifting loyalties, and impossible choices.

When Sidney Cromwell moves to rural Forsyth County, Georgia from the big city of Atlanta, all he wants is to fit in at his new high school. But when Sidney nearly drowns in Lake Lanier, an allegedly haunted lake that is the site of numerous inexplicable freak accidents and deaths, he becomes a social pariah as he starts to suffer terrifying visions from the past and hauntings by apparitions calling him to Lanier.

Sidney returns to the lake for answers, and he finds in its murky depths the spirits of former residents from Oscarville, the Black town that lies beneath the man-made lake. They enlist Sidney to remind Forsyth of its devastating history and push its citizens to make amends so that the souls in Oscarville can finally rest.

But Sidney soon learns that people will go to great lengths to avoid facing truths they’d rather not hear. The people of Forsyth County refuse to acknowledge the past, and as Oscarville’s populace starts to lose their patience, their rage and thirst for vengeance rise like a tidal wave.

Poignant, timely, and utterly terrifying, this gripping supernatural thriller is perfect for fans of Internment, She Is a Haunting, and You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight.

This deluxe limited edition features gorgeous printed edges, elaborate printed ends, and a stunning foiled case.

“Irresistible romance and cozy, magical charm . . . a pure delight.” ―Sabaa Tahir

“Brimming with mystery, magic and heart.” ―Stephanie Garber

Sparks fly in this Gilded Age novel of mystery, magic, and romance by the author of the New York Times–bestselling Beasts of Prey.

Vesper Evans has always resented Basalton’s high society, and the sorcery that provides them with a luxurious life unimaginable to most. Orphaned as a child and rescued by the editor of The Basalton Globe, Vesper is now an ambitious reporter determined to keep her newspaper afloat.

While covering a lavish society gala, Vesper happens upon a shocking scene: the murdered body of a man she had spoken with just minutes before. Several of the powerful magical elite may want the man dead, but the prime suspect is wealthy industrialist Maximilian Kite.

Max soon makes Vesper a tempting offer: Find the culprit and restore his reputation in exchange for a substantial fee. Despite her distaste for Max’s world, Vesper agrees―the money would save the Globe, and the story would be the scoop of a lifetime. There’s only one catch: In order for her to infiltrate society, the two must pose as a courting couple.

Their investigation takes them from the highest echelons of privilege to the seediest backstreets of Basalton. As they unearth the city’s secrets and scandals, Vesper finds herself in grave danger―while falling for one of the most infuriating, arrogant, handsome men she has ever met . . .

A groundbreaking investigative account of the life of the mogul who brought hip-hop to the mainstream, offering readers a riveting look at the empire he built and the destructive power of celebrity

If not for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ability to harness the voice of hip-hop and package it via artists like Mary J. Blige and the Notorious B.I.G., the landscape of American―and world―music would look and sound entirely different. For decades, mainstream performers clamored to be close to Combs; his charisma, vision, and brand of cool transformed hip-hop culture into a multibillion-dollar powerhouse. While his acumen built an empire that reflected the biggest names in not only music but also fashion, business, and the bright lights of Hollywood, another side of Combs was hidden from public view.

In Bad Boy for Life, journalist Cheyenne Roundtree vividly brings to life Combs’ early days and his rise to power. She also excavates the disturbing history of his alleged abuse. Through cultural insights, meticulous reporting, and in-depth interviews with more than one hundred sources, she examines Combs’ misuse of power that led to the criminal trial in 2025 that caused his kingdom to unravel.

Ultimately, this account shows how Combs embodies the much bigger story of hip-hop’s ascension, the wider music industry, and fame’s sinister aspects.
