Infinite Shores
Fate cannot be broken - not even by the gods who serve it.
Emory refuses to lose Romie again. Her friend's fate hangs in the balance as the monstrous Clover plans to use her as a sacrifice to steal power from the deity Atheia - and make himself into a proper god. To stop Clover, Emory needs the help of Atheia's dark counterpart, Sidraeus. Yet this enigmatic deity cannot be trusted, and if Emory is to ally with him, she must invoke an ancient magic to keep him tethered to her side.
Meanwhile, in the divine workshop of the god of balance, Baz learns he has a role to play in the coming fight to save the crumbling worlds and their weakening magics. Yet all he can think of is Kai and the gruesome fate that awaits him at Clover's side - a fate, the god tells him, that is beyond even his reach. But Baz is determined to save Kai, even if he has to rewrite time itself.
As chaos reigns and the tides of a corrupted magic threaten to consume all, Emory and Baz must contend with mercurial gods, vengeful deities, and those hell - bent on eradicating Eclipse magic to save the people they love - and write an ending to their stories that defies fate itself.

The Body Builders
Ada lives a solitary life. She spends her days swimming in her apartment building''s pool, occasionally visiting her cousin Francesca, meeting people for drinks, navigating the social mores of a cold and isolating London. Ada''s parents are recently divorced: her father spends his days at the gym, warm with human proximity. Her mother spends her days alone.When she meets a man named Atticus by the pool, Ada immediately senses an intimate connection between them: as if they share a life, in a way she can''t explain, maybe even a consciousness. Little by little, Ada''s estrangement from her familiar surroundings, memories and reality widens, as though she is seeing her reflection through a mirror, pieces of it falling away. She worries she may be losing her mind.After her mother entreats Ada to join her on a remote Greek holiday, Ada''s connection to her world and her body itself, falls away completely. She is jolted into a new, artificial environment - The Facility: a place apparently designed to meet her every wish, but where secrets hide along endless hallways and behind closed doors. When a person''s life, in the odd space between mind and body, is inherently one of isolation, are our connections with those around us merely projections of ourselves? And if not, where do they come from?With precision, subtlety, and confidence Albertine Clarke transforms touches of the sci-fi into an entirely singular experience of deep interiority. The Body Builders lands like a blow, widening a crack that allows us to perceive the world differently than we ever imagined.

The Book in the Cathedral
Medieval manuscript historian and author of the widely acclaimed Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts discovers the most intimate surviving relic of Thomas Beckett. The assassination of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170, is one of the most famous events in European history. It inspired the largest pilgrim site in medieval Europe and many works of literature from Chaucer''s Canterbury Tales to T. S. Eliot''s Murder in the Cathedral and Anouilh''s Becket. In a brilliant piece of historical detective work, Christopher de Hamel here identifies the Anglo-Saxon Psalter which Becket cherished throughout his time as Archbishop of Canterbury and which he may even have been holding when he was murdered. Beautifully illustrated, this is an exciting rediscovery of one of the most evocative artifacts of medieval England and the only surviving relic from Becket''s shrine.

Hogyan fejezzünk be egy szerelmi történetet
Helen Zhang azóta nem találkozott Grant Sheparddel, hogy tizenhárom évvel korábban egy tragikus baleset örökre összekötötte az életüket. Teljesül egy álma, amikor bekerül népszerű ifjúságiregény-sorozata tévés adaptációjának írói közé.
Grant mindent megtett annak érdekében, hogy túllépjen a múltján. Tudja, hogy nem kellett volna elvállalnia a munkát Helen műsorában, csakhogy ez a lehetőség olyan ajtókat nyithat meg előtte, amiknek segítségével a saját projektjeit is kibontakoztathatja.
Grant pontosan olyan, amilyennek Helen emlékszik rá: vicces, népszerű és szerethető. Helen is olyan, amilyennek Grant mindig is látta: zseniális, gyönyörű és zárkózott. Csakhogy a közös munka kaotikus és felvillanyozó, ráadásul Helen szülei azt sem tudják, hogy a férfi visszatért a lányuk életébe.
Amikor titkokra derül fény, a párosnak el kell fogadnia, hogy a kapcsolatukból nem születhet szerelmi történet. De mégis… talán pont abban rejlik a kulcs, hogy megbékéljenek a múltjukkal, ha összekapaszkodnak a jelenben.
Képesek lesznek vajon új befejezést írni a történetüknek?
Borrowed Land
This is the story of a Scottish glen and its inhabitants, and of how I came to call it my glen.
From the powerful rivers that bring life and prosperity, to the Pictish cairns, undisturbed for centuries and the meadows of bluebells, from which deer emerge, god-like, in a flash, Kapka Kassabova reveals a world that has been abused, but remains achingly beautiful and alive.
In the Highlands, centuries-old connections between the land, nature and people have been, and continue to be, shaken by the forces of colonialism, industry, depopulation and private property speculation.
Borrowed Land tells the stories of those who are working against this disconnect: the last true Highlanders, fighting to preserve their home.
Girl on Girl
Cosmetic surgeries are at an all-time high, Ozempic is bringing back 'heroin chic' and the manosphere on the rise - after four waves of feminism, what went wrong?
Despite decades of progress, modern womanhood feels more challenging than ever. Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert reveals how today's misogyny emerged from another turbulent era: the late 90s and early 2000s.
Spanning the past thirty years of pop culture - from Madonna to Taylor Swift, #GirlBoss to OnlyFans, Real Housewives to trad-wives - Girl on Girl shows how every form of media, heavily influenced by the rise of porn, has warped women's relationships with themselves and others.
We cannot move forward without fully reckoning with the ways pop culture has defined us - this book shows us how.
Blush
Makeup is empowering. It’s a means of experimentation, reinvention, provocation, disguise, and protection. It can be ‘barely there’ or transform someone’s appearance entirely. And in the hands of the finest practitioners, it can traverse into a whole other fantasy land.
Blush is the very first global survey to celebrate the most exciting makeup artists working today. Nominated by a panel of industry experts, including editors, stylists, photographers, and art directors, the 75 featured artists range from famed professionals, such as Lisa Eldridge, Pati Dubroff, Sandhya Shekar, Sir John, and Charlotte Tilbury, to emerging talent, such as Bernicia Boateng, Sean Brady, Raisa Flowers, Valentina Li, and Oh Seong Seok. Each artist is profiled with a full-page spread featuring multiple images – red carpet looks, brand campaigns, beauty editorials, and more – along with an insightful short text, presented together in a vibrant, fresh-feeling layout.
Every turn of the page yields new inspiration: readers will discover a dizzyingly diverse array of styles, revealing how today’s talent utilizes tone, texture, and technique to craft distinctive looks. Many of the featured artists subvert traditional notions of beauty, using faces as their canvas for experimentation.
Beautifully designed and brilliantly curated, Blush showcases the work of a phenomenally creative field like never before.
The Ending Writes Itself
Six authors. One private island. Seventy-two hours to write the ending.
World-famous author Arthur Fletch is dead. His final novel, the most anticipated book in history, remains unfinished. But the ending won't write itself.
When six struggling authors are invited to Fletch's private Scottish island and presented with the opportunity of a lifetime, the plot thickens: whoever writes a worthy ending will receive a game-changing book deal and two million dollars.
Why have they been chosen to attend? Who is behind the invitation? And just how far would they go to secure a place on the bestseller list?
They have just seventy-two hours, a typewriter and a blank page. All they have to do is write…
Starting is often the hardest part. But getting to the end could be murder.

Nike Football Boots
The first book to chart the unprecedented history of Nike's iconic football boots, from the evolution of their design to the legendary stars who have worn them
Football (or soccer) is surrounded by a particular mythology. As the world's most popular sport, its players and iconic performances have become part of public consciousness - and so have the boots that footballers wear.
Nike Football Boots charts the history of the brand's football journey, from the all-black leather boots introduced in the early 70s - the first of any shoe to feature the famous swoosh - to the present day, through four key product lines that encapsulate Nike's design ethos: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90, and Phantom. Along the way, readers will discover stories behind the boots worn by football's greatest names, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Portuguese phenom Cristiano Ronaldo, US Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe, and emerging French icon Kylian Mbappé, among others.
Lavishly illustrated with 500 images, Nike Football Boots showcases boot close-ups, on-feet shots, concepts, posters and advertising, film screenshots, material swatches, sketches, prototypes and ephemera from the Department of Nike Archives (DNA). A 12-page glossy insert displays every model of boot highlighted in the DNA, from 1971 to today.
This visual homage to the sport is also an engaging read: celebrated author Caleb Azumah Nelson sets the scene for each chapter, discussing how the culture and style of the decade influenced each boot's design, while historian Thomas Turner delves deep into the technical innovations that made each boot so successful. An introduction by curator Eleanor Watson puts football design more globally into context.
Perfectly timed with the kick-off of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nike Football Boots is an essential volume for football fans of all stripes.
