Included in my To Reads for this list are: Assailant's Greed, Captive Prince, Gyrfalcon and Infected.

Three Great Lies by Vanessa MacLellan
"I've always had a soft spot for portal fantasy stories (Narnia! Oz! Wonderland! Stargate!). Three Great Lies delivers that same sense of "stranger in a magical land" adventure, but in ANCIENT EGYPT. With animated mummies and cat-headed girls. If you " Read more of this review »

“His breath gushed from him. He pressed his palms and forehead to the cold wood, letting it seep away his fatigue. Please let us pass. His bile pulsed. Balin bit his lip, shook his head. Open, he thought. He grabbed the knob again and twisted. It held. A stiff, solid mold of brass. Balin imagined the door within his mind’s eye: the grain of the wood, the shine of the knob. The knob turned in his mind. Balin’s hand shook. Numbness seeped up from his fingertips along his palm. Open. In his mind, the handle turned. Something within him pulled taut, stretched. Open. He squeezed the door’s handle and twisted. It held. Open! He gritted his teeth, thought the door to open, demanded the door to open. That tight thing within him stretched further. A blunt ache blossomed into a sting, like a pulled muscle, but it wasn’t physical. It wasn’t mental either. Something else. Something unchartered. Open. Open. Open.
He twisted the knob.
It did not move.”
― Vanessa MacLellan, Awaken: A Norse Dark Fantasy

“If you throw in Alviss, and the mist remains, who will you throw in next?” Balin pointed at a tall, burly man in bib-and-brace overalls. A farmer with a touch of the ’Walker. “You? Are you the cause for this? Let’s throw you in too, just to make sure.” He pointed at a woman, fat with a late baby. “Or you. Give the mist two sacrifices. What better offering than an unborn?” The woman wrapped her hands over her belly and took a step away. “Your most innocent and your most loved. That is what Hel wants, isn’t it? Nidhogg wants the tender flesh; let’s toss in your children.”
