The Other Bennet Sister
One by one, the Bennet sisters have found their place. But what happens to the one left behind? The Other Bennet Sisteris the brilliant, witty, and heartbreakingly relatable story of Mary Bennet.
In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, we know the fates of the five Bennet girls. But while her sisters are celebrated for their beauty or their wit, Mary is the "plain" middle sister, the introvert in a family of extroverts, and a constant disappointment to her mother.
Lonely and lacking connection, Mary turns to the only place she feels safe: her books. Determined to be "right" since she can never be "beautiful," she prepares for a life of solitude at Longbourn.
One by one, the other sisters move on: Jane and Lizzy for love, and Lydia for respectability. Mary is destined to remain single, at least until her father dies and the house is bequeathed to the reviled Mr Collins.
But when that fateful day finally arrives, the life Mary expected is turned upside down. In the face of uncertainty, she slowly discovers that there is hope for the "plain" sister after all. . .
Experience the witty, life-affirming tale of a young woman finally finding her place in the world.
This is Mary Bennet's story.
Between Two Fires
The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village.
An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm-that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict.
Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfil her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.
As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.
The Harvey Girl
From the award-winning author of the Kate Shugak Mysteries, a thrilling new detective series set during America's wild boom time of the nineteenth century. WELCOME TO THE GILDED AGE. WHERE NOT EVERYTHING GLITTERS. 1890. The New Mexico Territory is a lawless frontier where criminals steal money and land alike with impunity. Everyone wears a six-gun and is ready and willing to draw it. In the new city of Montana Roja, Fred Harvey’s growing empire is threatened by the robberies plaguing his newest Harvey House restaurant. To get justice, he needs a skilled detective to go undercover and procure answers to questions the law will not ask. The assignment falls to Clare Wright, a young Pinkerton agent. Disguised as one of Harvey’s famous hostesses, Clare travels west where she risks being exposed at every step of her investigation. To get answers – and to get out alive – there are only two things she can trust: her instincts, and her derringer. Reviewers love The Harvey Girl'Smooth writing, interesting characters, and a mystery to boot... I love this book' Joe R. Lansdale‘An absolute gem of a novel – a gripping story with great characters and fascinating history’ C.J. Box'A richly researched, masterly plotted historical mystery' Sara Donati'I adored this novel and can't wait for the next one' Douglas Preston
The Quantity Theory of Morality
'Reads like early Nabokov: barbed, provocative, virtuosic in his performance of linguistic jokes...rollicking, unsettling and furiously intelligent' Guardian'Full of pathos and penetrating insights into the best and worst in human nature. A consummate performance, it's a book that might finally silence Self's critics' SpectatorThis dark yet hilariously satirical state-of-an-era novel sees Will Self's middle-class, middle-English characters apparently trapped in a timeless go-round of polite chitchat in dinner parties that refract like a hall of mirrors, until one day someone says something to the effect of, 'This way to the gas chamber, please, ladies and gentlemen.'The Quantity Theory of Morality finally solves the equation of time and money that dominates our lives, in a way that is simultaneously deranging, destabilizing and hilarious, showing Self to be both a master of satire and slapstick humour and a sublime and thoughtful critic of the alienation of modern life. With The Quantity Theory of Morality, Self provides the sequel to his award-winning debut of 35 years ago, The Quantity Theory of Insanity. That literary psycho-surgery proved there wasn't enough sanity to go around - now he's established what many of us fear to be the absolute truth: there isn't enough good to go around, either.
Scratch Moss
'An agile and compelling storyteller' Nick Cutter1865. Coal lies beneath Scratch Moss Hall and Lord Henry Brody is determined to get to it. But something else lurks below, something dark and evil. 1905. Reverend George Ackman has never known such godless people as those of Scratch Moss. But if not God, what do they believe in?1945.

Thatcher reigns supreme. And in the shattered community of Scratch Moss, rumours resurface about Red Clogs, a terrible presence in the land below. 2025. Divorced, fifty-something writer Joe returns to his hometown of Scratch Moss for the funeral of his father. Soon the memories of Joe's teenage years, and the horror that blighted the community, come flooding backA devastating, five-timeline tale centred on a community first invigorated, then devastated by the coal mining industry in the most original folk horror novel of the year. Praise for Scratch Moss'A creepy folk horror set in an old mining town which moves between generations to slowly build a picture of a town complicit in some terrible things. Really loved this one!' Sarah PinboroughWhat readers are saying about Scratch Moss'David Barnett may just be the new king of British Folklore horror.''Holy CRAP. David Barnett is at the top of his game.''Wow! I am firmly convinced that David Barnett is simply a master of the folklore horror genre.''I can happily say this was phenomenal.''David has once again made the sleepy corners of England creepy, taking the mundane of everyday live and making it extraordinary.''Folk horror done right.''Earning a locked-in place in my 2026 Top 10.'
Now I Surrender
Once I moved like the wind. Now I surrender to you and that is all.
The darkly funny and action-packed story of Geronimo and how the American West was 'won'
In the contested borderlands between Mexico and the United States, a Mexican woman flees into the desert after a devastating raid on her dead husband’s ranch. Meanwhile, a lieutenant colonel of the fledgling Republic, sent in pursuit of cattle rustlers, will soon discover he’s on the trail of a more dramatic abduction.
Decades later, with political ambitions on the line, the American and Mexican militaries try to manoeuvre Geronimo, the most legendary of Apache warriors, into surrender. And in our own day, a family travels through the region in search of a truer version of the past.
Now I Surrender is Álvaro Enrigue’s most impassioned novel yet. Part epic, part alt-Western, it weaves past and present, myth and history, into a searing elegy for a way of life that was an incarnation of true liberty – that still sparks in us the thrill of almost unimaginable freedom.

Mancella Cliff trónörökös vérontás nélküli életre vágyik.
Ám gyerekként olyan varázserő birtokában bukkant elő a Lerombolt Citadellából, ami képessé teszi az állatok megidézésére – de csak miután megölte őket. Varázsereje állandóan azokra a borzalmakra
emlékezteti, amelyeket apja, a birodalom uralkodója kényszerített rá, hogy segítségével megerősítse hatalmukat.
Silver elbűvölő tolvaj, aki a túlélésért küzd egy olyan világban,
amelyre Mancella apjának uralkodása nyomta rá a bélyegét.

egy olyan nagyszabású melóval, amilyen csak egyszer adódik az életben,
Silver élvezi a lehetőséget – és a bosszút. A siker érdekében viszont
meg kell tévesztenie Mancellát, és ki kell vívnia a bizalmát.
Ahogy egyre fokozódik az ármánykodás és a vérontás,
Mancellának meg kell találnia a módját, hogyan mentse meg birodalmát
anélkül, hogy azzá a könyörtelen szörnyeteggé válna, amilyenné nevelték.
És amikor Silver rájön, hogy az ő tettei váltják ki azokat
az erőszakos cselekményeket, amelyeknek Mancella útját akarja állni,
választania kell titkos terve és a lány között, akibe beleszeretett…

Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Tale vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare's original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found.

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFor fans of S.A. Chakraborty, Robin Hobb, and Martha Wells's Witch King, a page-turning standalone fantasy of necromancy and cursed magic from Jenn Lyons, the acclaimed author of The Ruin of Kings.

But something about them is even stranger: whole forests coming alive and devouring anyone so foolish as to trespass, formerly peaceful animals mutating into savage carnivores . . . the land itself has turned upon humanity and the Knights are powerless to stop it. It’s a good thing, then, that the Grim Lords were never truly destroyed. One of their number sleeps below the Knights' very fortress. And when an army of twisted tree monsters attacks the young initiates in his charge, Math decides to do the unthinkable: he wakes her up.
