Lies Weeping
From Glen Cook, the godfather of Grimdark, comes Lies Weeping, the first book in an all-new arc in the legendary Chronicles of the Black Company — the landmark series that changed the face of fantasy. Scattered from their disastrous campaign across worlds, the Black Company left too many of their number buried in the ground before finally retreating across the plain of glittering stone. On the other side of the plain lies Hsien, their one-time base in the Land of Unknown Shadows, and with it the promise of safety — of a sort. Amidst the struggle to rebuild what is left of the Company, Arkana and Shukrat, the two young Voroshks now reluctantly serving as the Company’s annalists, find themselves haunted by vague omens and the threat of starvation. But, even more disturbing, are sightings of a strange, ragged creature, that appears to be wearing the body of the left-behind Croaker... INCLUDES FOREWORD BY STEVEN ERIKSON, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MALAZAN, BOOK OF THE FALLEN

The Lady is stripped of her power, and the Black Company is a shadow of itself — a ragged handful of survivors. With no other path open, Croaker, the Company’s new captain, turns to the Annals and half-forgotten legend in search of answers. Their destination: Khatovar — the fabled birthplace of the Black Company. Uncovering their history may yet decide their future — if they can survive the journey there.
Joe Cole, Luxury Player

But Joe was often mistrusted by managers and out of step with the style of English football in the 2000s. The game was suspicious of creative footballers it considered luxury players - the kind it could regard as an indulgence. With honesty and an eye for the absurdities of football, Joe takes us inside the dressing room to reveal it all. From his days at the FA's School of Excellence at Lilleshall and rising through the ranks at West Ham, to winning it all under José Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, whilst playing with England's so-called Golden Generation. But the trophies, goals and moments of magic couldn't last forever. After battling severe injuries - and suffering devastating family loss - Joe walked away from the sport that had given him everything, bringing one of football's most remarkable careers to a close.

For A Yellow Jersey
For a Yellow Jersey narrates the many remarkable lives of the women's Tour de France. A race which has, in its various incarnations, acted as a microcosm of the women's bike racing scene as a whole. Like the careers of many of its participants, the race itself represents an inspiring story of survival against the odds and in the harshest possible conditions. Paul Maunder tells this chequered story which dates back to 1955 and features false starts, media indifference and financial mismanagement. Above all, however, this is the story of the phenomenal athletes who have competed in these races. From Marianne Martin's surprise win in the 1984 event, to the intense rivalry of Jeannie Longo and Maria Canins in the late 1980s, to the modern-day Dutch dominance, there are as many dramatic tales in the women's race as the men's. We meet the key personalities who have made women's racing so entertaining over the past forty years. It's time to celebrate the history of the women's peloton. Women's racing has its own fascinating culture - tough, collaborative, political, maverick. Those who have campaigned for equality are driven, bloody-minded and above all, passionate about cycling. This is their story.

She trained to save lives. But the one she inherited might just save her. Caitlin Spring is laser-focused on her dream: finish pre-med, become a doctor, and build a life on logic—not loss. But when her beloved grandfather dies unexpectedly, everything changes. Instead of a summer of studying, Caitlin finds herself the new owner of the Spring Wildlife Sanctuary deep in the Montana wilderness. And standing between her and the future is Jake Blackwell—the sanctuary’s brooding caretaker and the alpha werewolf her grandfather trusted with everything. Once the childhood protector who helped Caitlin survive her parents’ death, Jake is now all rugged edges and commanding growls. And he’s not exactly thrilled to see her back. To him, Caitlin’s a threat—an outsider who doesn’t understand the delicate balance between humans, shifters, and the land they protect. But Caitlin isn’t the little girl he remembers. She’s determined to honor her grandfather’s legacy… even if it means clashing with the alpha who once made her feel safe. As sanctuary debt mounts and sparks fly, Caitlin must choose between the life she’s planned—or the one she never saw coming, beside a man who guards more than just the land. In the heart of the wild, love might be the most untamed force of all. Taming the Alpha is a gripping paranormal romance with second chances, small-town secrets, age gap, and a sanctuary where hearts—and wolves—run wild.

Their rivalry bubbles away under the surface, but is apt to come into the open if something unusual disturbs the calm waters of the institute in Regensburg in which they both work. One such event is the entrance from New Orleans of two visiting scholars, Professor Pom Pom Boisseau and Professor Alice Martinique, Provencal language experts who arrive on large, noisy motorbikes...
