Kate Stewart's sizzling, darkly seductive Ravenhood saga continues in Birds of a Feather, the story of Tyler, the mysterious guard to the secretive Ravenhood, in his own words . . .
Tyler Carter Jennings is an enigma. Charged with the task of guarding the Ravenhood as well as every secret of those who belong to it, he keeps those burdens, along with his past and personal heartbreak, to himself. A highly trained Marine and tactical reckoning force, there's never been a situation he couldn't handle . . . until her.
Larissa DiCicco is all too familiar with the weight of secrets and their consequences. A member of one of the most powerful and influential families in the world, she was just a teenager when her older brother disappeared. Charged with the responsibility of maintaining her family's legacy, she has no choice but to seek refuge in the only man who may be able to help her escape her fate.
It's when Larissa and Tyler collide that they both recognize just how powerful of adversaries they are. And that losing their hearts to one another while unveiling their secrets might be the most damning and dangerous thing they've ever done.

I turned to the underworld. A sea of suffering . . . they needed me. He needed me.
From Sunday Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Carissa Broadbent, The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk is a heart-stopping romantasy in the Crowns of Nyaxia series.
Mische made the ultimate sacrifice to save those she loves - and plunged the world into an eternal night. Now, imprisoned by the gods and obsessed with revenge, Asar is desperate to find her again.
When a goddess offers a final path to redemption - and back to each other - Asar and Mische embark on an extraordinary mission. Together, they must seize the power of the god of death so that Asar can do the impossible: ascend to true divinity.
Their journey will take them through mortal and immortal realms, alongside both old friends and ruthless enemies. But, as the underworld teeters on the brink of collapse and the gods prepare for war, Asar and Mische must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the power to defy death. In a game of vengeful gods and ancient betrayals, there are some debts that even love may not be able to repay . . .
The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk is the stunning, heart-pounding sequel to The Songbird and the Heart of Stone and the second book in the Shadowborn Duet.
Who Knew the Ridpath Girl
A gripping mystery perfect for fans of Amy Tintera following one man's investigation into the death of his sister years earlier, forcing him to confront old faces, a strong-willed detective, and a string of new murders in his remote small town. Welcome to Meander, where truths are best left buried. Gracen Ridpath has a secret. As the host of a successful YouTube channel for stay-at-home-dads, Gracen is known for his handy tips and trademark self-deprecating humor. But off camera, he struggles with the aftereffects of a tragedy that shaped him and everyone else in his hometown of Meander: the death of his eleven-year-old sister, Douggy. When Gracen mentions his sister’s long-ago death for the first time on his channel, he taps a vein of interest he hadn’t known existed. Soon enough, he finds himself discussing a theory he’s kept quiet for years: that Douggy chose to die. And he’s finally figured out why . . . and who is to blame. At first, Gracen is grateful for the jump in views, until his shift in content brings Quinn, Douggy’s childhood best friend, back to Meander looking for answers. And when people start dying around them and detectives start asking questions, Gracen and Quinn find themselves at the center of an investigation that will prove to have consequences deadlier than they ever could’ve imagined.
Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti - deník a pracovní sešit
Co kdyby skutečnou příčinou vašeho utrpení nebyly vnější okolnosti, lidé ani minulost nebo budoucnost, ale vaše vlastní myšlení?
Kniha, kterou máte před sebou, přináší radikálně jednoduchý a zároveň hluboký pohled na lidskou psychiku: myšlenky jsou samy o sobě neutrálními informacemi a teprve přemýšlení o nich vytváří bolest a vyvolává strach, pochybnosti a úzkost.
Deník a pracovní sešit Utiš svou mysl a osvoboď se od úzkosti nabízí srozumitelné a okamžitě použitelné techniky ke zklidnění mysli a postupného zbavení se duševního utrpení. Je praktickým průvodcem pro každého, kdo se cítí zahlcen tlakem, stresem či nároky současné doby a hledá jednoduchou, ale účinnou cestu k osvobození se od mentální bolesti.
Velkou inspirací je přístup Josepha Nguyena, autora knihy a mentora zaměřeného na osobní transformaci a vnitřní svobodu. Spisovatel je známý svým důrazem na jednoduchost a praktičnost – učí, že skutečný klid nevzniká změnou okolností, nýbrž změnou vztahu k vlastním myšlenkám. Jeho práce vychází z principu, že utrpení je často výsledkem nepozorovaných mentálních vzorců, které lze vědomě opustit. Díky jeho přístupu pochopíte, že klid není něco, co musíte složitě hledat, ale přirozený stav, k němuž se můžete navrátit.
Pokud toužíte po větší životní rovnováze, lepším spánku a svobodě od přetížení, právě držíte v rukou první krok ke změně.

Tree Lore
From druids’ oaks to deadly yews, tempting apples to erotic peaches, humanity has long imbued trees with spiritual and superstitious meaning. Trees run deep in our folklore and mythology. Their leaves, branches, roots and fruits have all served as metaphors for human needs and desires – from strength and resilience to shelter and sustenance. Each species’ unique qualities have inspired fables, sayings and symbolism. In this new book, Sally Coulthard explores the enchanted world of tree folklore, where nature and legend intertwine. From lovers’ trysting trees and festive firs to boughs of peace and hangman’s favourites, she examines 50 of the world’s most iconic species and their myths and magical associations. Discover the chivalric allure of medieval holly, how willow became a symbol of mourning, and why blackthorn was feared as the witch’s tree. Learn why the Greeks revered the fig, the Vikings the mighty ash, and how the banyan came to embody protection and fertility. Beautifully illustrated, Tree Lore: The Myths, Folklore and Meaning of Trees is more than a guide to familiar species – it reveals the rich, often surprising ways we relate to the natural world. Blending storytelling with botanical and cultural history, it places trees firmly at the heart of the human story.
Coming Alive on the Ride
Answering the call of the open road-from Seoul to Silicon Valley to riding 40,000 life-changing miles across America. When Michael Yang bought his first motorcycle, he was a teenager who'd just moved to America. He knew little English and had few friends. Still, whenever he rode that green Yamaha, he felt more in touch with life's possibilities. The bike was stolen a few months later, but Yang never forgot the feeling. It wasn't until he was in his 40s that Yang got back on a motorcycle. By then, he'd settled into Silicon Valley amidst the technology revolution; and founded, scaled, and sold a half-billion-dollar tech startup. Life was a blur until he revved up his adventure bike and began riding into unfamiliar landscapes. Coming Alive on the Ride narrates more than 40,000 miles of Yang's travels, from California's coast to the upper reaches of Alaska, to Canada's far eastern edge, and more. One of the things about long motorcycle trips is that there's a lot of time to think. Yang describes the unique bliss of watching the miles pass beneath two wheels as he relives moments from his past-growing up in Korea during the turbulent years after the Korean War, and moving to America as a fourteen-year-old-all the while taking in North America's astounding scenery, from the stillness of the desert to heart-racing glimpses of a bison herds and grand mountain ranges. Somewhere along the way, it happens: Past experiences and future aspirations converge into a present discovery. Yang's inspiring memoir is a reminder that, if we slow down and tune in our senses, adventure inspires and instructs the way nothing else can. Yang shows what magic awaits when we make room for adventure in our daily lives.
Disclosure
'It was exciting when it started, then comfortable and domestic, and over time we grew apart. If it had been real, our relationship wouldn't have made a chapter in a memoir. But Mark was a fictional character, contrived by the British state to violate me and undermine the values I held dearest. And the entire time, EN31 was sitting around the corner, writing it all down, watching our lives unfold.'In 2003, British police infiltrated a group of idealistic young environmental activists, forming sexual relationships and spying without warrant on hundreds of innocent civilians. Kate Wilson fought back. She took the Met to court, at times battling alone without funding or legal representation, enduring bullying, psychological intrusion and further state surveillance. It took her nearly twenty years to uncover the eerie truth about Britain's secret political police. In her own words, and those of the officers who documented her every move, this is Kate's story.
Kylian Mbappe
'Inspiring. Gritty. Triumphant. Laurens gives us a front row seat to Mbappe's epic rise to the top of the football world.'Jeff Benedict'The authoritative read on one of football's biggest stars' Sam Wallace'An illuminating read about one of the twenty-first century's main characters' Joey D'Urso'The story of Mbappé deserved to be told by someone with a sharp mind and pen, who understands Kylian and his background. Julien ticks all the boxes' Guillem Balague______________________________'Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' PeléThis was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment. In Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life. Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.

Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka: Rivals and Networkers
The legendary rivalry between two exceptional artists of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, a rivalry that sparked artistic masterpieces.
This lavishly illustrated publication looks at the relationship of the two towering figures of Austrian Modernism, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele. They were rivals and masterful networkers, and their race for success and recognition opens up a previously untold chapter of modern art.
Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele were rising stars in early twentieth-century Vienna, and their early work laid the foundations for Austrian Expressionism. Their rivalry is as exceptional as their networks and artworks. When Egon Schiele died in 1918 at just twenty-eight years old, his attempt at reconciliation with Kokoschka having failed, the elder artist still had six decades ahead of him, during which he would be celebrated internationally as a major Austrian figure. But he never escaped Schiele's shadow--quite the contrary. With historical documents and art reproductions, this publication shows in detail the feud that these two artists fought.
