Daughter of Fate

Daughter of Fate

THE HEART STOPPING SEQUEL TO THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, DAUGHTER OF CHAOS . . . LIFE THREATENING ODDS. DANGEROUS GODS. AND A PROPHECY ONLY SHE CAN FULFIL . . . --Danae has fought monsters, crossed oceans and stared into the face of death. It is the price of the prophecy. The prophecy that names her as the mortal that will destroy Olympus. But gods do not fall without a fight. As they hunt her, Danae descends into the shadows of the Underworld to search for help — and the sister she lost to its depths. Accompanied by her faithful winged horse and a handful of companions, whose true allegiance remains uncertain, Danae uncovers secrets long hidden. Secrets about Zeus’ powerful hold on the mortal world and the fate she is bound to. But the deeper she journeys, the closer the gods watch. Hera seethes. Poseidon plots. And Zeus will stop at nothing to destroy this mortal girl who dares challenge him. Because the gods will never give up their power. Just as Danae will never give up her destiny . . . --Praise for Daughter of Fate:-“This is a fantastic (and fantastical) second instalment in Danae's story.

Our Monstrous Bodies

Our Monstrous Bodies

'Glitters with menace' LUCY ROSE 'Visceral and affecting' EMMA VAN STRAATEN ‘Hypnotic and deeply unsettling… both tender and terrifying’ CELIA SILVANI 'Utterly unique, experimental and, simultaneously, a page-turner with the sly, creeping pace of a horror film' HEATHER O'NEILL An extraordinary literary horror debut from a rising star. My eyes snapped open and I saw something else in the mirror, something else that wasn’t me… In the wake of an ill-omened romance with a horror cinephile, Brooke arrives in Vancouver to care for her sister, Izzy, who is facing reproductive surgery. But Izzy’s rapidly decaying apartment building, its hallways stalked by an ominous crone known only as Medusa, offers little refuge to the sisters. Seeking solace in the films her ex-girlfriend loved, Brooke soon finds traces of horror bleeding from the screen into her life. Old wounds reopen and new frictions surface, and when Brooke begins to exhibit strange symptoms of her own, Izzy’s concern spirals into obsession. The line between self and sister blurs until only one question remains: who, or what, will survive when all unravels? Through the dual lenses of art and horror cinema, Emma Cleary brilliantly dissects loneliness, motherhood and the body’s threatened autonomy. Eerie and threaded with yearning, Our Monstrous Bodies is a haunting literary debut that blooms with the dark desires we suppress or to which we surrender.

The Daffodil Days

The Daffodil Days

'Deeply researched and utterly convincing' Melissa Harrison, Guardian'Not a word is out of place. Full of understated lyricism ... an exquisite and spellbinding debut' Heather Clark, author of Red Comet 'Luminous ... Helen Bain's prose is exact and alive, and the novel builds with a quietly devastating inexorable force you can't look away from' Paula McLain, author of The Paris WifeIn the early 1960s, in a small town near Dartmoor, the church bells ring. The people of North Tawton go about their days, catching glimpses of one another’s lives. There’s the local GP, who knows more about his patients than he would sometimes prefer. There’s the young shop assistant at Kestrels, who understands that the ladies who come there for a new outfit sometimes hope to find a new self. There’s the tenant farm labourer who rings the tower bells at the church three times a week, the notes – harmonious and clashing – rippling out across the rooftops of the town. Amid all these lives, a young couple move into focus. New to the town with their small daughter, they have escaped London for a quieter existence in the thatched house beside the church, Court Green. The life they intend to build here – out of fresh lino tiles, second-hand furniture painted with hearts and flowers, and expertly-cooked suppers for weekend guests – will be a good and happy one. The Daffodil Days depicts a pivotal year in the marriage of 20th-century literature’s most infamous couple, witnessed by the people they lived among. It is a kaleidoscopic portrait of this enigmatic pair, refracted through the rich inner lives of a rural community caught – if only for a moment – in their light.

200 Monas

200 Monas

Arvy Keening is just trying to get through the week. Tantalizingly close to leaving her college years at Westheimer University behind, all she has to do is pass her finals, pack up her life, and ship off to San Francisco for a prestigious Big Pharma internship. The problem? Arvy just found 200 hits of Molly in her dead mother’s closet. And when two drug dealers come to collect what they are owed, they reveal that the pills are not Molly, but Mona—a rare pharmaceutical that induces intense orgasms. The dealers give Arvy an ultimatum: Sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die. To aid in her seemingly impossible quest, Arvy recruits Wolf, Westheimer's resident drug dealer who also happens to be infuriatingly charming and distractingly sexy. In a race against the clock, Arvy and Wolf barrel through their college town, leaving a series of erotic shenanigans in their wake; appealing to horny co-eds, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority whose sisters have their own ideas for Mona’s potential uses. But if Mona has a knack for unleashing visceral reactions in the body, what will it unlock in Arvy, who has been repressing grief over her mother’s death for weeks? Unashamedly brash, bold, and blistering, 200 Monas is a truly one-of-a-kind read, a playful and honest examination of sexuality and grief, and a sharp, searing love letter on how to release all that’s inside you.
