What it was like in Ancient Benin
Step into the world of the ancient Kingdom of Benin and explore its captivating history, culture and legacy with Blue Peter Award winning author David Long. Under the rule of the Oba, the Kingdom of Benin was one of the richest and most powerful in West Africa. Behind a network of massive walls, its vibrant capital city boasted the Oba's impressive palace, filled with intricate artworks, while the Edo people worked as skilled artisans, formidable hunters and talented traders. Yet as European influence began to grow, so did the challenges that faced the Benin kingdom. From the omnipotent power of their warrior-kings to the devastating impact of the slave trade, David Long unearths the remarkable stories of daily life, trade, and the unique culture of the Edo people.

Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.

A lány és a herceg 2: A nevelőnő leckéje
Egy férfi, aki habzsolja az életet és a nőket. És egy nevelőnő, aki feladja neki a leckét.
Alexandra Mountbatten egy pillanat alatt elveszített mindent, és kénytelen elvállalni egy lehetetlennek tűnő állást: két vadóc lánykából kell illedelmes, finom hölgyet formálnia.
Hamar rájön, hogy a lányoknak nem vasszigorra, hanem szerető otthonra van szükségük. De hogyan győzhetné meg erről a gyámjukat, Chase Reynaud-t, akit a londoni közéletben a hercegi cím várományosaként ismernek, a magánéletben pedig egymás után omlanak a karjába a nők?
Noha már sokan megpróbálták elérni, hogy megállapodjon, sorra kudarcot vallottak. Alexandrának viszont muszáj valahogy megtalálnia az utat a férfi szívéhez, ám anélkül, hogy közben veszélybe sodorná a sajátját.
Chase egyetlen szabály mentén éli az életét: elköteleződésről szó sem lehet.
Amikor azonban a makacs nevelőnő megpróbálja ,,jó útra téríteni", elhatározza, hogy bebizonyítja neki: őt képtelenség megzabolázni. Leckét pedig ő is tud adni abból, amihez a legjobban ért - a gyönyörből.
Alexandra azonban okos, talpraesett és szenvedélyes. Felülmúlja a férfi várakozásait. Vajon képes lesz őt megváltoztatni, ha egyszer a férfi maga sem hiszi, hogy ez lehetséges?

Beautiful Distance
An unnamed narrator sits in a cafe overlooking a train station, sipping a green juice and people-watching. A small white butterfly flutters through the air; a calico cat jumps onto a wall; cherry blossom petals fall, softly, to the ground. Life stands still for one moment. He is preparing to visit his terminally ill wife in hospital.
So begins this moving novel exploring the distance between people, places and memories in simple and elegant prose, as Yamazaki raises questions around what family means, how we think about death, and how we express love; particularly in a society where work is often prioritised.
For Whom the Belle Tolls
THEY TOLD HER TO GO TO HELL. SHE WENT ON HER OWN TERMS.
Lily isn't exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined. Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning.
As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell's demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass.
Lily's expectations are subverted every day in Hell - especially by Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice. The two meet by chance and form an immediate, deeply healing friendship, but the undeniable heat between them threatens to combust.
Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they've known and everything that could be… unless they fight like Hell to stop it.

Logically, Lucy knows she should run the other way, but the reporter in her can tell there's more to Bram than his fangs. It's clearly time for this good girl to take a walk on the dark side, and if that path leads her straight into Bram's muscular tattooed arms?
Well, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do…

Elizabeth II
As daughter, wife, mother and Sovereign, Elizabeth II lived fascinating parallel lives, both in private and in public. But she remained something of a mystery – beloved, even revered, modest yet daunting, naturally shy but globally recognizable, inscrutable and also authentic. She was grand but so familiar that we felt we knew her. Yet we would always be left asking the same question: ‘What’s she really like?’ No one has written more authoritatively on Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman. Who better to answer that question?
The only biographer to have interviewed all the senior members of the Royal Family, some of them several times, Hardman has crafted a gripping story of drama, devotion, triumph, tragedy, humour and conflict; of an outwardly stoical, inwardly complex woman whose love of family, love of country and duty to the Crown might pull her in different directions but never derailed her; a global stateswoman who wielded her great authority with charm and understatement.
Elizabeth II will explain why she was not merely the most famous woman in the world. She was one of history’s all-time greats.
