Eager to find the answers she can’t locate in the shelves of Ravenswood library, Andy Emmerson visits Jae in the underworld. Only, it is empty of the Gods that once ruled it and inexplicable clues start to appear directing them to The Order. Together they must travel to Eidolon University where they will investigate The Order and unlock its secrets. Soon they are catapulted into a world of old magic, dangerous rituals, and demonic activity. A world they thought they’d left behind at Ravenswood. If they fail to discover The Order, and the school’s secrets, humanity will fall to the fires of hell.
Somewhere
‘Back in the flat, Sylvia is no use. She doesn’t have any ideas, all she suggests is get a job, take your time, get some money together, then go somewhere. But Clodagh needs to go now, needs to go today if possible. Even Seamus has gone. But where, and with what?’Clodagh finds herself adrift after leaving her partner Seamus. Navigating addiction, the harsh realities of a housing crisis, and relationships pushed to the brink, this is a story of her attempts to reconnect with herself, and those closest to her, in a gritty, vividly rendered contemporary Dublin. Weaving from place to place and person to person – past friends, fellow users and her worried mother Sylvia – Clodagh struggles to fully understand herself, or the city she calls home. Urban isolation, the trials of modern life and the fleeting beauty found in Dublin marble every scene of this novel. Somewhere is a raw and intimate portrait of a woman balancing on the edge of survival, seeking meaning and love amid isolation and addiction.

A House in Sicily
During WWII, a young Tuscan woman falls in love with a man from the rural depths of southern Italy. As the conflict finally draws to a close, the two travel from Rome to finally meet with his family. But very quickly a dawning realisation breaks: her in-laws and their friends are eccentric in the extreme. They barely leave the house and they rarely speak to their son, fretting instead about their 'daughter' - a loud little dog - and worrying constantly, incessantly, about the weather. And, worst of all, they speak with a nostalgic warmth about the region's recently overthrown fascist regime…
Translated by Ann Goldstein, the world-renowned translator of Elena Ferrante, A House in Sicily is a brilliantly funny, razor sharp examination of family life in the shadow of the darkest period of modern Italian history, and the most exciting rediscovered European classic in decades.
Burnout Summer
Camille Luna’s life is not going according to plan. Her corporate job drains her soul, her student loans won’t quit, and her ex is now the wedge between her once-close college friendship group.
When a bad night ends in a holding cell and one phone call, it’s Danny - the charming slacker of their group turned unexpected success story - who answers.
Now running a seaside restaurant in Elswick, Rhode Island, Danny offers her the perfect escape: a summer of waitressing shifts, beach walks and late-night swims. With no five year plan in insight, Cam finds herself reigniting old dreams, and catching serious feelings for Danny…
But summer isn’t forever. With September looming, Cam must choose: return to the safe, burned-out version of herself, or take a risk on the life - and the love - she never saw coming.

The Issa Valley

'Thomas was born in the village of Gine at that time of year when a ripe apple thumps to the ground during an afternoon lull.' So a boy's life begins in a winding river valley on the Polish-Russian border where time is measured by seasonal rhythms and ancient songs.

But when he is shown a map, he discovers a kingdom all his own and starts to dream of leaving the valley behind.

Gripping' Elizabeth LeeREADER REVIEWS***** "I was absolutely bewitched"***** "This book was both intimate and refreshing, vivid. I felt both the sticky heat of Egypt, and the cool breeze of the Queen's apartments at night."***** "10/10 a much needed exploration into one of the most infamous women in ancient history"***** "It shows her not so much as the beautiful seductress we see in other stories but clever and young ruler, and later mother. I liked seeing her grow as a person and ruler, but what I enjoyed most was her relationship with her slave and companion, it added a vulnerable side to her character that we rarely see."***** "Solomon's gift is to immerse you in an immediately believable world and to connect you with character from the start. I found myself constantly wanting to check details reading Cleopatra, fascinated by the woman coming alive before me."***** "I raced through the final section, heart wrung for the women whose story is forgotten in the plays. Just brilliant!"
Objects of Desire
Hugo Hunter was the most celebrated gay novelist of the 20th century. He published two masterpieces, securing his place alongside the dazzling literary greats of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and rubbing shoulders with everyone from Truman Capote to James Baldwin, Gore Vidal and George Orwell.
But after decades of fame and excess, just as New York City enters the 1980s and awakes to the coming horror of AIDS, Hugo finds himself running out of money.

At once dark, moving and deliciously vicious, OBJECTS OF DESIRE traverses the 20th century, featuring an astonishing cast of characters. It is both a colourful glimpse into the lives of the cultural elite, and a tense, gripping story of betrayal, deceit, and literary fraud.
