Witch Season

BRIGITTE KNIGHTLEY'An absolutely stellar debut . . . fans of witchy books are going to love this' INDIA HOLTON'Tightly woven and full of intrigue' LOGAN KARLIE_____________________Katherine Barnes is an enforcer, charged with maintaining order in Los Angeles' Aestas coven and bringing unsettled witches - those who aren't aware they have magic until it explodes out of them in catastrophic bursts - into the fold. As a former unsettled witch, Katherine owes her life to Aestas' founder, Sylvia Page. When Silas Khatri, heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the country, arrives to challenge Aestas's more unconventional practices, Katherine's dislike for him reaches blistering levels. She loathes his money and his coven's dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches. The fact that she finds him frustratingly attractive doesn't help either. But a powerful threat is on the rise, more insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that could lead to an all-out war . . .

Farris carefully examines some of the best-laid arguments for the soul, ultimately advancing his own, claiming that embracing the concept of the soul allows for a more coherent and satisfying explanation of human consciousness and personal identity.

Stalin's Apostles
Using recently declassified files, STALIN'S APOSTLES explores as never before the treachery of five British men who spied for the Soviet Union: Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, John Cairncross and Keeper of the Queen's Pictures Anthony Blunt, all radicalised while at Cambridge University in the 1930s. Their supply of British and US intelligence gave Stalin an inside track on US and British strategy at a critical period in history. For more than twenty years there was barely a secret, barely a decision made, that Stalin did not know about, thanks to his Cambridge spies. The Five became tools in Stalin's imperial scheme, responsible directly and indirectly for the death of thousands of men and women fighting against Soviet domination.
Shielded for so long by the British Establishment, four of the five were never prosecuted for their crimes. And in time another dictator emerged as ruthless as Stalin, but with an even greater desire to establish a Russian Empire that would threaten Western democracy. The legacy of the Cambridge Five is not only in the graveyards of eastern Europe, but at the heart of Putin's Kremlin.

No One Knows You're Here
A reporter’s obsession with an elusive serial killer gets personal in a terrifying novel of suspense by the New York Times bestselling author of the Anthony Award–nominated These Toxic Things. For crime reporter Syeeda McKay, obsession is part of the job—and no story has ever consumed her like that of the Phantom Slayer.

Anticipating her every move. And then come the emails from someone claiming to be the Slayer himself, offering details only the killer could know. She’s made him famous—and this is the Slayer’s way of saying thank you. But he’s not done. As her investigation gets closer to exposing the truth, Sy realizes that she’s more connected to the Slayer than she knew—and that he’s been waiting for her all along. Revised edition: This edition of No One Knows You're Here includes editorial revisions.

Midsummer Nights
Life imitates art when a down-on-her-luck TV star returns to her hometown stage and redefines her dreams in a funny and heartwarming spin on Shakespeare’s most magical romantic comedy. Miranda Belmont is a regular on a popular TV series, but her acting career is not exactly moving forward. After she’s publicly humbled, her next steps are definitely backward: playing Helena in a community theater production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in her stifling hometown, directed by her parents, and sharing the stage with her high school boyfriend. Backstage, it’s borderline Shakespearean drama. Between her ex, an intriguing costar making sweet overtures, and an unwelcome blast from the past, Miranda is caught in a real-life, nearly magical tangle of romantic confusion that threatens the production at every turn. Opening night will bring them all down to earth—especially Miranda, who’s navigating her way, onstage and off, through all the chaos these mere mortals create. As she reconnects to her roots, the creative spark she’s been missing awakens Miranda to who she truly is.
Through Fire and Sky
'A well-written and rewarding memoir that provides keen insight into the mindset of a patriotic young man willing to make sacrifices for his country.' — Robert ForczykIn this masterful two-volume account, Prussian solider and officer Karl Knoblauch draws on his wartime diaries to detail his fascinating military career during the Second World War. In this first volume, he recounts the years leading up to the outbreak of the war through to 1944. In 1938, just before the outbreak of war, a 17-year-old Karl Knoblauch volunteered for military service and began his career as an infantryman before joining the air force as aircrew. Later, Knoblauch was seriously wounded in a Russian fighter attack over Wjazma and had to leave his squadron. After recuperating, he returned to the frontline as an officer in the ‘Hermann Göring’ Division, where this first volume comes to a close. Knoblauch describes his experiences in sober and stark detail, creating a gripping and comprehensive first-hand account of his time fighting for the Wehrmacht. Supplemented by a number of photographs and appendices, this is a must-read for any military history enthusiast.
Pagan Portals - Idunn
The Goddess Idunn (also ? nn, Idun, Idunna) is commonly known as the Goddess of youth and custodian of the Apples of Immortality -?the apples that grant the Gods of the Norse pantheon continued renewal and eternal youth. Her best known, and only, myth details how she was abducted by a giant and how the Gods fought hard to retrieve her (and her much-needed apples). Beyond this, one must dig very deep to excavate any further information about her. This introductory book outlines everything we know about Idunn from historical sources, as well as what we -?her modern devotees -?have learnt from experiencing her in the modern day.
Reporting the Nuremberg Trials
For the first time, journalists who shared details about Nazi crimes from the International Military Tribunal, better known as the Nuremberg Trial, have their own story told. As World War II in Europe drew to a close in 1945, the Allies prepared to hold Nazi leaders accountable for crimes against humanity and selected Nuremberg as the site for the trial. The U.S. military took the lead in refurbishing a courtroom and making accommodations for 325 journalists and 23 defendants plus Allied judges, prosecutors, translators and administrative staff. Because publicity was a main consideration, the latest innovations and technology were incorporated into the courtroom to enhance news coverage of the trial. Press passes were in demand worldwide for courtroom seats. A press pool was selected to witness the executions in which 10 criminals were hung on Oct. 16, 1946. Famous war correspondents and young journalists who later became household names were headquartered in a castle, explored bombed ruins and faced dangers as a lingering spirit of Nazism seethed within the city. The lengthy trial became an excruciating endurance test for journalists by the time it ended (far longer than expected) on Oct. 1, 1946, setting a precedent for coverage of subsequent justice at Nuremberg. The author, a long-time journalist and former foreign correspondent, provides an insider’s look at how the news was gathered and conveyed. The book is based on extensive research and insights gathered from Nuremberg, including at the location where the journalists were housed and at the courtroom itself.
Scottish Warlocks, Wizards and Magicians
The story of Scotland's male witches and wizards always promised to be a convulted one, and the tale indeed turns out to be a strange tree with many twisted branches. The nation has several venerable magical figures who compete in stature with the legendary Merlin. Michael Scot, Thomas of Erceldoune and Coinneach Odhar were, respectively scholar, poet and seer, but they still command enormous presence in the national imagination. The forgotten men who got caught up in the national witch hunts were as unfortunate as the far greater number if women persecuted. Among those prosecuted were healers like Andro Man, who practiced his skills for decades before being examined. For every sincere practitioner or innocent, there were many more frauds and distorted characters caught up in the supernatural net. Major Weir left a dark stain on Edinburgh for a century after his death and Gregor Willox Macgregor is still remembered in the north with a mixture of doubtful contempt and fear.
