Seek The Traitor's Son
From Veronica Roth, the legendary author of the Divergent series, Seek the Traitor's Son is a dazzling, epic tale of war, fate and devastating love.
The daughter of a bounty hunter.
The knight sworn to protect her.
And the prophecy that destroys their lives . . .
Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her. She's a soldier defending her small country against a powerful enemy: the Talusar, who worship a Fever that brings death to everyone it touches . . . except those it resurrects, forever changed. Rava Vidar is a Talusar general with a reputation for cruelty and triumph in equal measure. And when Elegy and Rava first meet, it's to hear a prophecy that could apply to either of them.
It declares that either could carry their people to victory. But they won't know who will triumph - not until it's too late to change anything. And at the center of both of their fates is a man. A man who, Elegy is told, will bring her death. A man she'll fall in love with.
In one day, Elegy's old life is over. With the fate of nations hanging in the balance, she and Rava are destined to collide. And when they do, only one will be left standing. Elegy intends to make sure it's her.
An extraordinary epic begins.
Tree
'Trees are not just living things, but feeling beings, like us. Better keep a watchful eye over them…'
Ezo spruce, hinoki, cherry blossoms. Persimmon, maple, cypress. The trees of Japan cast a spell on those who visit its landscape. But as a child, writer Aya Koda realized they were more than objects of beauty. Gifted a sapling by her father, she learned that we depend on trees as much as they do on us - and spent a lifetime trying to understand them.
Mesmerising and poignant, Tree is written in a Japanese genre called zuihitsu which means 'following the brush'. Here we follow Aya Koda on a journey to discover Japan's most remarkable trees. As she witnesses landslides and forests of falling ash, she encounters fresh saplings and ancient, ungovernable roots, learning how each tree contains its own unique story.
Now translated into English for the first time, Koda's work echoes down the generations, reminding us that trees hold a mirror to who we are, and what we leave behind.

Mosaics and Micro Mosaics
From the earliest mosaics in 4th century BCE Greece and the Byzantine splendour of Hagia Sophia to the celebratory frieze encircling the Royal Albert Hall, and Eduardo Paolozzi's commission for the London Underground, this book reveals the technical and stylistic evolution of mosaic, and its prominence in political, public and civic spaces.
Drawing on a conference at the V&A, supported by the Gilbert Trust for the Arts, this volume provides both a sweeping history of the craft and fascinating insight into key events. These include the competition judged by Titian, Tintoretto, Schiavone and Veronese in 16th century Venice to choose a mosaicist for St Mark's Basilica and the prominence of mosaic in Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.
The volume also considers the practical - the collection and preservation of micromosaics and also their creation through an interview with Maurizio Fiorvanti, a jeweller who has mastered the technique of micromosaics and continues to create exquisite pieces from his studio in Rome.
