The First Act of Summer
From the Costa-shortlisted, beloved author of All My Mothers, Joanna Glen Is it ever too late to figure out who you were meant to be? As children, Hester and Elias were inseparable. Every year, their families would spend the summer together at their beach huts on a wild and windswept sandbank, where the two of them never left each other’s side. But childhood friendships can stretch and warp as you grow up, and in the summer of 1976, the year they turned 14, Hester did a terrible thing that would shatter both of their lives. For her 60th birthday, Hester goes back to her family’s beach hut to hide from the husband she wants to leave and the daughters she’s never fully understood. It is here that she finally faces up to what she did that fateful summer, wondering whether it’s ever too late to become the person you were meant to be. And if there’s still a chance of finding Elias again… From the Costa-shortlisted author of The Other Half of Augusta Hope, All My Mothers and Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly, this is a raw and sweeping novel about the power of a dark secret, the resilience of love and the possibility of redemption.
Divide and Rule
Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. Saints or sinners? Perfect princesses or difficult duchesses? Monarchy’s saviours or its destroyers? They rank among the world’s most famous women – and the most misunderstood. Throughout history, royal women have been sanitised and sanctified by supporters, distorted and demonised by critics, pitted against each other, and misrepresented by the media. In this extraordinary portrait, journalist Catherine Mayer examines the lives of the central players, and the echoes and parallels that have run throughout history. The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan uncovered by Catherine Mayer are far more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths. Divide and Rule reveals these extraordinary women in all their complexity, charting their achievements, quirks, kindnesses, cruelties and profound influence. Drawing on key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, this book also demonstrates the ways in which history repeats itself – to the detriment not only of royal women but all of us.

White Spaces
The brilliant and beautiful new book from the author of Small Joys. A hymn to brotherly love and its transcendent power to heal. To the outside world, Teddy seems to have things sorted. A senior editor at a music magazine before turning 30, he's smart, practical and dependable: the one his friends turn to for support when things become complicated. His old school friends Kain and Nathan have their fair share of issues. Kain is trying to get his music career back on track, while struggling to come to terms with his sexuality, and Nathan is still living with his parents, while working three jobs to help bring up his son. For none of them, however, are things more complicated than they are for Birch. Wayward, unpredictable and impossible not to love, Birch veers impulsively from one calamity to the next but, whenever things get really bad, one person is always there to help him pick up the pieces. But what if things were to get so bad that even Teddy couldn't fix them? And who would be there to fix Teddy if they did? Set in the London of 2012 with a supporting cast of normal and extraordinary characters, White Spaces tells, with Mensah's inimitable warmth and humour, the story of four young Black men coming of age in a city on the cusp of change. It poses challenging questions about the way we were and the world we were creating, while always holding on to a powerful belief in the strength of love and friendship to overcome the worst that life can throw at us. Hilarious, heartbreaking and hopeful, White Spaces is an unforgettable novel that cements Mensah's reputation as one of the most exciting young British novelists working today.

With the potential to reduce our reliance on pharmaceuticals and improve overall well-being, the use of psychedelics has yielded promising results.

He also includes an extensive, in-depth Psychedelic Clinical Profiles guide to the 13 most commonly used psychedelic substances, detailing their chemical composition, safety considerations, and legal status.

Ninety years and still counting...'Amanda Barrie, the iconic Cleo in Carry on Cleo and much-loved Alma in Coronation Street, was born in 1935, above her grandfather's tailor's shop in Ashton Under Lyne, during a ferocious thunderstorm. And ever since her journey through life has been a stormy one.

Phantom At The Feast
Police stations are outdated, and AI’s make more efficient detectives, or so says a UK Home Office determined to make cuts. When the sole witness in a trafficking case is discovered brutally murdered, a brass horseshoe forced between his teeth, Detective Sergeant Rex King is summoned back to London and into a labyrinth of memory, music, and political unrest. From The Clash’s ragged 1985 busking tour to the fractured legacy of the anti-nuclear movement, Rex follows threads that tug uncomfortably at his own history – echoes he can’t quite place, shadows that refuse to settle. When Rex’s boss, DCI 'Lollo' Lawrence, suddenly disappears, and long-buried papers from the Miners’ Strike surface, he must work alongside a sharp young detective, a seasoned former soul boy, and the National Crime Agency’s unsettlingly brilliant new AI. Yet the deeper he travels, the more he finds the investigation folding back on him: professional loyalties strained, personal relationships tested, and accusations from his undercover past threatening to unmake him. Two murders, one 'misper' and a force under fire – has former ‘spycop’ DS Rex King finally met his match?
When Death Calls
Blood is thicker than water... and runs just as freely... When the body of a man is discovered face down one morning in the swimming pool of his upmarket family home, the team wonder if it is the result of a tragic accident or serious foul play. DI Tom Janssen is currently suspended pending the outcome of the events at the close of his previous case. Using the time away from the office to consider his future, and how this will impact on his family life, Tom is invited to attend a school reunion which he reluctantly agrees to. Coming face to face with people he hasn't seen in years leads to more than a reunion of old friendships. Some people find it hard to let go of the past while others foster long-held grudges. It isn't long before Tom finds old feuds rekindled and scores that aim to be settled... one way or another. Finding himself at the centre of a murder inquiry - only this time as a witness rather than an investigator - can he steer clear of the case or will temptation, and a search for the truth, be too much for him to ignore. When Death Calls is the sixteenth novel in the Hidden Norfolk crime series by the multi-million selling British crime writer, JM Dalgliesh, the author of the Misty Isle and Dark Yorkshire books.

Menšia a väčšia legenda osvätom Gerardovi biskupovi
Postava svätého Gerarda, jedného z najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov uhorskej cirkvi v 11. storočí, púta pozornosť z viacerých perspektív. Gerard je jedným z mála vzdelancov pôsobiacich v raných stredoeurópskych kresťanských kráľovstvách a kniežatstvách, ktorých dielo sa čiastočne zachovalo.
Prostredníctvom vzácneho teologicko-filozofického spisu, úvah či „rozjímania“svätého Gerarda (Deliberatio Gerardi) – zachovaného v jedinom stredovekom rukopise – máme možnosť nahliadnuť do autentických myšlienok, úvah a biblických interpretácií prvého čanádskeho biskupa.
Idealizovaný obraz o osobnosti svätého Gerarda možno zároveň nájsť v legendách o svätom Gerardovi. Obe legendy sú unikátnym svedectvom o dobe poslednej veľkej konfrontácie pohanskej tradície a nastupujúceho kresťanstva v Uhorskom kráľovstve. Legendy o svätom Gerardovi však možno považovať a jza pramene, ktoré približujú okolnosti a pozadie vzniku a postupného šírenia Gerardovho kultu. Dve legendy, pravdepodobne z 12. a 14. storočia, sú súčasne dokladom genézy hagiografického žánru v Uhorsku a poodhaľujú aj zámery a motívy samotných autorov legiend.
Nová latinsko-slovenská edícia, obsahujúca aj sprievodné štúdie o osobnosti a dobe svätého Gerarda, prináša prvý slovenský preklad oboch legiend o svätom Gerardovi.

Vlčí kráľ
Zakázaná príťažlivosť, krvavá vojna a vlčí kráľ, ktorému nemožno odolať.
Princezná Aurora nikdy netúžila po korune ani po politickom sobáši. Túžila po slobode.
V predvečer svadby však urobí rozhodnutie, ktoré zmení osud celého kráľovstva – zachráni mladého vlkolaka odsúdeného na smrť v aréne, kde sa ľudia zabávajú krvavými zápasmi zajatých vlkov. Tým na seba upriami pozornosť samotného alfu, obávaného vodcu svorky, ktorý ju ešte v tú noc unesie.
Aurora sa ocitá v drsných severných krajoch medzi vlkolakmi, ktorých ju od detstva učili nenávidieť. Znepriatelené svorky sa spájajú a vojna medzi ľuďmi a vlkmi je na spadnutie. Alfa je presvedčený, že princezná je kľúčom k víťazstvu.
Lenže čím viac času spolu trávia, tým ťažšie je predstierať, že sú nepriatelia. Kým sa na oboch stranách bojiska schyľuje ku krvavému stretu, medzi princeznou a vlčím kráľom sa rodí zakázaná príťažlivosť.
Vlčí kráľ je prvá časť série, ktorá pobláznila BookTok – temná romantasy plná napätia a vášne pre fanúšikov vlkolakov (v kiltoch), silných hrdiniek a príbehov, kde hranica medzi nenávisťou a túžbou je tenšia než ostrie meča.
