The Shrouded Queen
In the first book in this romantasy duology inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology, a slave and a princess switch places during an enemy attack, igniting parallel journeys of love and survival. As a slave to the Ashoran royals, Samira has always known she was expendable. So when the vicious Kaldfolk attack the palace, she is ready to die as a decoy for her princess. But when she’s captured instead, she’s forced to impersonate the princess and survive through brutal trials designed to awaken her divine powers—all under the watch of her dangerously intriguing, shape-shifting captor. Amunet Khada—now queen of Ashorah—is on the run following the king’s death. With only her guard-with-benefits, Jasim, by her side, she must evade treacherous allies while racing to contact her father—the god of the underworld—before her long-promised powers slip beyond reach. While Amunet embarks on a quest through the wastelands, Samira learns the true reason for the attack and unlocks secrets in her past that could change everything. And with threats growing on all sides, Samira and Amunet must decide...who can they trust?

Where Tourists Seldom Tread
A perceptive, generous survey of Britain’s towns, in all their grit and glory.Take your pick. Dubrovnik or Doncaster? Corfu or Crewe? A safari in Kenya or an abandoned zoo on the Isle of Man? Most people in the United Kingdom live and work in towns. Only a handful of these ordinarily qualify as conventional tourist destinations, with most deemed too plain, rundown or unfun to be worthy of a leisure visit, but they have much to offer for the inquisitive traveler.Travelling from Warrington, Birkenhead and Slough to East Kilbride, Armagh, Newport and beyond, Chris Moss seeks out Britain’s bypassed towns. As he encounters the rich stories and spirits of these places, peeling back layers of history and culture, he considers why most have ignored the hidden pleasures they have to offer, be they Stockport''s viaduct, one of the largest brick structures in the world; the scene-defining punk venues of Paisley; or Ipswich’s ancient origins (the town being twice the age of Machu Picchu). Where Tourists Seldom Tread is an invitation to move away from the preference for major cities and rural idylls and offers a new field guide to the country.
Song of Seven Cloaks
The Red Beast is no more. Two companions stand above its fallen form and take its head for their trophy. But the Red Beast was only the beginning of the hunt. The Seven Cloaks, the strange gemlike guardians of the Cedar Forest, live on. They flee the axe and embed themselves deep in the ancient maze humming with magic. So long as they survive, the cedars can never be claimed for the great City in the east, and the hunt will go unfinished. As the hunters set off after their prey, it soon becomes clear that each Cloak is much more than the simple gemstone whose shape it takes. The trials our companions face in the cedars’ shade will change them – but can they change their fates? Inspired by a brief episode in the Epic of Gilgamesh, this original tale in verse offers an adventure filled with life and doom, and the many colours that burst across both.

For Louder Days
The essential guide to establishing an effective opposition movement in the age of Trump, from the leading activist and organizer“I consider [Marom] one of the most generous and important thinkers for the activist left, for anyone who cares about where we are and how to get to where we should be.” —Rebecca SolnitThere is no way to stop the descent into authoritarianism, nor win a world in which all people can thrive, without massive numbers of people organizing for social, political, and economic change. Yet experienced movement leader Yotam Marom delivers a hard truth: progressive and left movements too often get in their own way. They can be ambivalent about power, choosing insularity and purity over winning. This amounts to what Marom calls the “politics of powerlessness,” which has kept movements small, weak, and defeated. In For Louder Days: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness, Marom offers a brilliant, lyrical clarion cry for a more honest, more strategic, more loving approach to progressive activism and movement building. Grounded in decades of experience in movements, from leading at Occupy Wall Street and other movement moments to supporting some of the most important climate, racial justice, and democracy movements of our time, Marom dives deep into the challenges that hold movements back, and offers stories, tools, and paths toward real power and enduring change. Published at the most perilous time in our modern political history, For Louder Days comes not a moment too soon. It is essential reading for committed activists as well as the wider public concerned about the state of our world and hoping to change it for the better.

What Tech Calls Governing
Expanding upon the work begun in What Tech Calls Thinking, Adrian Daub explores which ideas of politics, power, and dominance characterize the tech industry, and how those ideas came to be. Tech companies increasingly determine who regulates and who governs. And the tech elite increasingly wield political power, seeking to remake your workplace, your child's school, and the federal government in their image. But what do they mean by power? Taking readers from investor meetings to lecture halls, from science fiction to a neo-feudal worldview, Daub acerbically explores how tech culture approaches hierarchy and dominance, and what role a very specific form of masculinity plays in tech culture's ethos. From billboards to social media, Daub interrogates the way the tech elite exert power in their families and offices, but also in gyms and on YouTube channels, in courtrooms and on their commutes. As What Tech Calls Governing shows, to ask "how do they seek to dominate?" is actually to retell the history of Silicon Valley as the story of a fragile—and precisely for that reason domineering—masculinity intent on all the influence with none of the responsibility.
With My Own Hand
The youngest of the Maitland siblings, Marie had watched her elder sisters be married off one by one, destined to take up the unavoidable path for women in sixteenth-century Scotland. However, as she neared marrying age, her father, an influential judge, poet and Keeper of the Privy Seal under Mary, Queen of Scots, went blind and suddenly needed someone to act as his scribe and secretary. In taking up this role, Marie indeed avoided the unavoidable, dedicating her life to her father''s work. After his death, she put the finishing touches on the Maitland Quarto, long recognised as significant for its preservation of the poetry of the male great-and-good of sixteenth-century Scotland.A rare feat for a woman at the time, but Marie''s story doesn''t stop there. For hidden in the pages of the Maitland Quarto, historian and translator Ashley Douglas discovered Marie''s own secret lesbian love poetry. Penning such poetry in the hostile climate of post-Reformation Scotland, with its suffocating tightening of moral control over society, was an incredible act of bravery. Unable to sign it directly, Marie, insistent on her voice and love being known, littered the manuscript with clues to its true penmanship. Clues that, until now, have remained unseen.Building on her initial discovery of Marie''s poetry, in With My Own Hand Ashley Douglas draws on a vast range of newly unearthed primary historical records to tell the fascinating story of Marie and her manuscript, in full, for the very first time.
What My Father and I Don''t Talk About
A follow-up to the wildly successful What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About, this “moving and deeply relatable” (Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country) collection of essays from sixteen notable writers breaks the silence on the complex—and sometimes contentious—relationships we have with our fathers. What My Mother and I Don’t Talk About is a rare gem in the literary world. Both a viral sensation online and chosen by Oprah Daily as one of the best nonfiction books of the past two decades, it is an essential collection that dives into the topics we struggle to discuss with those who are meant to know and love us best. “With tenderness and aplomb in equal measure” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), this captivating follow-up tackles the intricate and challenging relationships we have with our dads. Andrew Altschul reflects on the life-altering experience of becoming a father and how it reshaped his view of his own dad’s parenting. Isle McElroy revisits weekends spent tagging along as their father fixed up the homes of his wealthier colleagues. Jaquira Díaz delves into her father’s history in 1970s Williamsburg, uncovering the roots of their shared restlessness. Tomás Q. Morín paints a raw portrait of an absentee father, while Kelly McMasters portrays her father’s love and dedication. Maurice Carlos Ruffin insightfully captures a father who communicated through his integrity rather than words. Jiordan Castle reveals how we can love our fathers from a distance and Susan Muaddi Darraj’s “Baba Peels Apples for Me” explores the similar burdens placed on immigrant fathers and their eldest daughters. With moments that are both humorous and deeply moving, “these fearless essays, each one unputdownable, are likely to reassure readers that whatever relationship they have or don't have with their own fathers is just right” (Booklist). Contributions by Michele Filgate, Andrew Altschul, Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, Maurice Carlos Ruffin, Dylan Landis, Jaquira Díaz, Kelly McMasters, Isle McElroy, Susan Muaddi Darraj, Tomás Q. Morín, Robin Reif, Heather Sellers, Jiordan Castle, Nayomi Munaweera, Joanna Rakoff, and Julie Buntin.

Intent upon uncovering the monks’ misdeeds is the fanatic inspector, sent by the new Bishop of Durham to write a report on the monastery. When Oswyn is found drowned, Linnet suspects the death is not accidental.
