The Ragpicker King
His life is an illusion. Her lie is a gamble.
Can two outliers save a kingdom?
The royal court is in turmoil following a massacre. Kel, Prince Conor's body-double, is hunting for traitors. And the notorious Ragpicker King, ruler of the dazzling city of Castellane's criminal underworld, holds the only clues.
But they lead to a dark conspiracy to destroy the royal family - headed by the man due to marry the woman Kel loves.
Lin will be judged after claiming to be the legendary Goddess Reborn and wielder of powerful magic - now her people's charismatic leader is ready to test her powers. Failure will mean exile, and only further dangerous deception can save her now. As the simmering tension in Castellane reaches fever pitch, Prince Conor demands that Lin heal his father's madness.
But the King is tormented by an ancient magic, and Lin cannot deny its allure - any more than she can deny her growing passion for the prince. Lin and Kel must decide who they can trust. Yet any false move will mean death - or worse . . .

Last Argument Of Kings
The end is coming.
Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him - but it's going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the King of the Northmen still stands firm, and there's only one man who can stop him. His oldest friend, and his oldest enemy. It's past time for the Bloody-Nine to come home.
With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war. A secret struggle in which no-one is safe, and no-one can be trusted. His days with a sword are far behind him. It's a good thing blackmail, threats and torture still work well enough.
Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is far too painful, and turned his back on soldiering for a simple life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too, and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on a man when he least expects it.
While the King of the Union lies on his deathbead, the peasants revolt and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No-one believes that the shadow of war is falling across the very heart of the Union. The First of the Magi has a plan to save the world, as he always does. But there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, after all, than to break the First Law...
The Invisible Doctrine
How can you fight something if you don't know it exists?
We live under an ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives: our education and our jobs; our healthcare and our leisure; our relationships and our mental wellbeing; the planet we inhabit - the very air we breathe. So pervasive has it become that, for most people, it has no name. It seems unavoidable, like a natural law.
But trace it back to its roots, and we discover that it is neither inevitable nor immutable. It was conceived, propagated, and then concealed by the powerful few. Our task is to bring it into the light-and to build a new system that is worth fighting for.
Neoliberalism. Do you know what it is?
Tongues I
In the remotest reaches of Central Asia where rival groups war over oil, a minor god is chained to a mountainside. Unfolding in a series of conversations with his unlikely friend the eagle, who visits every day to carry out a gruesome sentence of torture, Tongues I follows the titan’s pursuit of revenge on the god that imprisoned him.
Entwined with their story are those of Astrid, a teenage East African orphan on an errand of murder, and a man with a teddy bear strapped to his back wandering aimlessly in the wilderness.
Tongues I is a postmodern, apocalyptic reimagining of Prometheus' story, here a fallible god failing in his duty as the creator and protector of humanity.
A visual meditation on our deep evolutionary past and our complicated prospects for the future, Tongues I is both a propulsive story of adventure and an examination of human nature in our present moment.
The Divorce
Gripping and emotional, THE DIVORCE explores the unravelling of a marriage from first the wife, then the husband's point of view.
Together for more than thirty years, Bea and Niklas live a comfortable life in Stockholm. But one evening, following a trivial argument, Niklas disappears. Weeks pass before it emerges that he has met someone else. To Bea's horror, he insists they must divorce.
But is this divorce really coming out of the blue? Is the person who does the leaving always the one at fault? What emerges once you begin scratching the surface?
The Divorcees
Lois Saunders thought that marrying the right man would finally cure her loneliness. But as picture-perfect as her husband is, she is suffocating in their loveless marriage. In 1951, though, unhappiness is hardly grounds for divorce - except in Reno, Nevada.
At the Golden Yarrow, the most respectable of Reno's 'divorce ranches' Lois finds herself living with half a dozen other would-be divorcees, all in Reno for the six weeks' residency that is the state's only divorce requirement. They spend their days riding horses and their nights flirting with cowboys, and it's as wild and fun as Lake Forest, Illinois, was prim and stifling. But it isn't until Greer Lange arrives that Lois's world truly cracks open . . .
Gorgeous, beguiling, and completely indifferent to societal convention, Greer is unlike anyone Lois has ever met - and she sees something in Lois that no one else ever has. Under her influence, Lois begins to push against the limits that have always restrained her. But how much can she really trust her mysterious new friend? And how far will she go to forge her independence, on her own terms?
Set in the glamorous, dizzying world of 1950s Reno, THE DIVORCÉES is a deliciously slow-burn, atmospheric page-turner and a dazzling exploration of female friendship, desire and freedom.

The Theatre of Glass and Shadows
Sometimes the greatest spectacle hides the darkest secrets . . .
In an alternate London, the city's Theatre District is a walled area south of the river where an immersive production - the Show - has been running for centuries, growing ever bigger, more sprawling and lavish. The Show is open to anyone who can afford a ticket but the District itself is a closed world; even the police have no jurisdiction within its walls.
Juliet's mother died when she was a baby. Brought up by her emotionally distant father and even more distant stepmother, she has never felt wanted. It's only when her father passes away that Juliet - now nineteen - learns her birth was registered in the District. Desperate to belong somewhere at last, she travels to London where she hopes to unearth the truth about her identity, her mother's death and her father's years of silence - and claim her birthright.
Exquisite Ruin
In this deadly maze, the most dangerous thing may be the passion between them.
Sadaré wakes in a labyrinth, remembering nothing except that she is a powerful sorceress. Her only companion is a hostile immortal named Daesra - beautiful, dangerous, and demonic - who bound his divine soul for power and revenge.
Despite their animosity, the two have no choice but to work together to reach the centre and defeat the monster who prevents their escape. But the longer they wander, the more deadly and alive the maze becomes - and the more Sadaré finds herself drawn to Daesra in ways she can't explain.
As sorceress and demon develop a tenuous truce, the labyrinth gives Sadaré glimpses of their shared history of passion and pain that make her question everything she knows. Unlocking the secrets of her past may be the only way to survive and heal their entwined fates - but as she learns more about the betrayals that brought them to the labyrinth, Sadaré begins to fear that the monster at the centre could be Daesra ... or even herself.
Saint

It would take a saint to resist Elijah Iverson.
Aiden was the last person in the world anyone expected to become a monk. But the decision to become a monk saved his life, and he's determined to do it right, even if it's taken him from his millionaire party-boy lifestyle...and the love of his life, Elijah Iverson. Four-plus years haven't made letting Elijah go any easier, but at least Aiden hasn't had to come face-to-face with those whiskey eyes and soft mouth since he left. That is, until Elijah shows up on his doorstep, assigned to accompany Aiden on a European monastery road trip for an article he's writing.
The pull is still there between them, but Aiden knows he can't have Elijah back. He broke his heart when he left, and now Elijah's engaged to someone else. Aiden chose God. He chose his vows. Except, between whispered confessions and stolen kisses and moments bent over an ancient altar, those vows are feeling flimsier by the day. Vows or not, it would take a saint to resist Elijah...and Aiden's sure as hell no saint.

He leads a life of sin, and she's committed to a life of virtue.
Sean Bell is not a good man, and he's never pretended to be. He doesn't believe in goodness, God, or any happy ending that isn't paid for in advance. There are words for men like him: playboy. Womanizer. Skirt-chaser. Sinner. When he meets a gorgeous college girl at a fundraiser, he has no problem telling her exactly what filthy things he wants to do to her-until he realizes she's his best friend's little sister, Zenobia "Zenny" Iverson, all grown up. Worse than that...she's also about to become a nun.
Zenny, though, isn't looking to play it safe during her final month of freedom. She wants to make sure choosing God is the right path, and to do that, she propositions Sean to show her every carnal temptation she's leaving behind. Unable to refuse, Sean finds himself falling for her, body and soul, and questioning not just the morals he's dodged for years, but his relationship with the God Zenny has pledged herself to. The only problem is...what if Sean wants Zenny to choose him instead of Him?
Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit
A beautiful hardback edition of Jeanette Winterson's explosive first novel: a gripping coming-of-age story, a queer romance, a modern classic.
'I love her.'
'Then you do not love the Lord.'
'Yes, I love both of them.'
'You cannot.'
'I do.''
This is the story of Jeanette, born to be one of God's elect: adopted by a fanatical Pentecostal family and ablaze with her own zeal for the scriptures, she seems perfectly suited for the life of a missionary. But then she converts Melanie, and realises she loves this woman almost as much as she loves the Lord. How on Earth could her Church called that passion Unnatural?
Both a groundbreaking coming-of-age novel and a pioneering work of autofiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit goes beyond facts into the deepest truths. Searing and tender, playful and provocative, it is a portrait of the artist as a young evangelist, re-writing her own Bible.
