THERE'S MAGIC IN HER BLOOD.
Explosive fantasy set in a West African world of magic and legend, where one girl must sacrifice her life, year by year, to gain the power necessary to live up to the expectations of the mother she has never been good enough for.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Tomi Adeyemi and Black Panther
Arrah is a young woman from a long line of the most powerful witch doctors in the land. But she fails at magic, fails to call upon the ancestors and can't even cast the simplest curse.
Shame and disappointment dog her.
When strange premonitions befall her family and children in the kingdom begin to disappear, Arrah undergoes the dangerous and scorned process of selling years of her life for magic. This borrowed power reveals a nightmarish betrayal and a danger beyond what she could have imagined. Now Arrah must find a way to master magic, or at least buy it, in order to save herself and everything she holds dear.
An explosive fantasy set in a West African world of magic and legend with a twist you will never see coming.

Architecture at the Heart of the Home
Increasingly, domestic architecture has sought to enhance everyday life by providing resonant settings that reflect the human need for comfort, safety and connection. A house has walls and ceilings, and perhaps a garden, but beyond that, there is always that one part of a home that becomes a place of belonging, around which people gather.
Architecture at the Heart of the Home showcases those special places and features that make a residence unique. Of course, there are kitchen and dining areas, but a home's heart can also be the physical link between the interior and the exterior, a view, a particular room, or even an architectural feature: a pool that reflects the sky overhead, windows that frame a panoramic vista, or a building's position in the landscape.
The projects in this book are not necessarily grand in scale, but all reveal extraordinary settings that fill the heart with joy and the soul with happiness - the places where memories are made.

Signs of Civilisation
'Punctuation is not only an important part of our language code; an advanced system of punctuation has been a driving force in our entire Western Civilisation. Nothing less.'
With the invention of printing, reading books moved from being an act only performed by priests and aristocrats into an individual, even private, activity. This change helped spark the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution - in which punctuation played a crucial role. As long as texts were read out loud only by an educated elite there was no need for punctuation to mark pauses, full stops or questions.
So punctuation - the full stop, the comma, the exclamation mark, the question mark and the semicolon - helped shape modern-day Europe as we know it.

The First Day of Spring
'So that was all it took,' I thought. 'That was all it took for me to feel like I had all the power in the world. One morning, one moment, one yellow-haired boy. It wasn't so much after all.'
Chrissie knows how to steal sweets from the shop without getting caught, the best hiding place for hide-and-seek, the perfect wall for handstands.
Now she has a new secret. It gives her a fizzing, sherbet feeling in her belly. She doesn't get to feel power like this at home, where food is scarce and attention scarcer.
Fifteen years later, Julia is working in a fish and chip shop and trying to mother her five-year-old daughter, Molly. She is always worried - about affording food and school shoes, about what the other mothers think of her. Most of all she worries that the social services are about to take Molly away.
That's when the phone calls begin which Julia is too afraid to answer, because it's clear the caller knows the truth about what happened fifteen years ago.
And it's time to face the truth: is forgiveness and redemption ever possible for someone who has killed?

Learn the Magic in Everyday Life
This is what this book brings you: You support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because everyone experiences magical moments in everyday life, whether it is when meeting and communicating with other people or because wonderful events often happen on a large or small scale. The problem, however, is that we have often forgotten to even see these positive things. This is often due to many unconscious beliefs that cause fears and positive associations downright buried. In addition, our brain is geared to perceive negative events in particular and we train to do so a little more every day. It is not uncommon for us to become downright mistrustful until we get stuck. But this is a mistake: We miss out on the numerous opportunities to do something together with other people and give away many chances in life. Therefore, it is tremendously important to consciously focus on positive thinking and to consciously perceive the beautiful experiences. Only those who recognize in this way what their own heart needs and act accordingly can be truly happy, authentic and self-determined. This book shows how to regain a positive attitude and train your confidence in other people and in your own perception in order to become successful. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired.

Reach & Win your Goals Calmly
This is what this book brings you: You support certified climate protection projects, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because goals make us start with a thing in the first place and get up and continue in case of failure. But as is often the case, first take a deep breath and then hit the ground running. Unfortunately, false ambition has many people too tightly in its grip: They want too much and too fast the wrong thing, but at the same time they lack the ability to develop their own potential. It would often be enough to take a step back and change ingrained behavior patterns, but often enough aggression, conflicts, fear and other negative emotions block the way. It is therefore important not to pursue one's own goals too doggedly and strenuously, but to always remain calm. After all, this also requires the ability to convince other people thanks to charm, rhetorical skills and strategic abilities. So setting goals is important, they just must not seem too big and unattainable, but big enough to be challenging and offer development opportunities. Good goals are smart and feasibility is an important keyword here. Many well-known entrepreneurs and celebrities are united by precisely this point: the ability to develop great visions, to follow them unflinchingly but in a relaxed manner, and also to achieve them. This book shows how this balancing act can be achieved. Good luck and have fun reading. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance.

Lacná kniha The Seven Ages of Death (-50%)
Dr Richard Shepherd, Britain's top forensic pathologist, has spent a lifetime close to the dead.
As a medical detective, each autopsy he carries out is its own unique investigation, uncovering the secrets not only of how a person died, but also of how, through every stage of life, the risks to each of us ebb and flow.
Through twenty-four of his most intriguing, enlightening and never-before-told cases, Dr Shepherd shares autopsies that span the seven ages of human existence, and have taught him as much about the marvels of life as the inevitability of death. From old to young, from murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental death, each of these bodies has something to reveal: about human development, about mortality, about its owner's life story, about justice and even about Shepherd himself.
From the bestselling author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving and above all reassuring book about death as it touches our own lives - how to understand it, how best to postpone it, and, when our time comes (as it must), how to embrace it as the last great adventure.
