The Kingdom of Almonds
Toba and Naftaly have stepped through the Gate of Luz into the mythic world of Aravoth, home to the Ziz, the bird of legend capable of raising the sea. Aravoth—the fabled third realm—is more dizzying and terrifying than Toba or Naftaly could have imagined. Nor had they expected to find someone already there, waiting for them. After barely escaping the burning city of Zayit, Elena and the old woman have a new problem: Barsilay, heir of Luz, is being held for an exorbitant ransom by the paranoid Queen of P'ri Hadar. As Barsilay sits in his dark, demon-inhabited prison cell, he begins to realize the queen is guarding an ancient secret that might be the key to his release. And the tyrant Tarses continues to close in on P’ri Hadar, wielding an army that spans the Mazik and mortal worlds. His newly-powerful visions reveal his most longed-for future—visions that he and Naftaly seem to share. In this triumphant finale, the mirror realms must find their balance or risk being lost altogether.
Mini Tarot de Marseille

Introduced into Southern France at the turn of the 16th century, the deck developed its particular visual style and symbolism during the 1600s and is today seen as a precursor to many modern Tarots. This beautifully designed mini deluxe edition of the Marseille Tarot merges the traditional visual approach with French illustrator Nicolas Galkowski’s distinctive primary color style. Bold, symbolic-rich imagery in the Major Arcana is contrasted with the Minor Arcana’s simpler, abstract displays of the suit symbols. Encased in a sturdy box with magnetic closure, the smaller-sized, gilt-edged cards are easy to handle and display in spreads. The 104-page guidebook provides unique interpretations and various drawing methods and layout spreads. Each card provides three individual key words and a question that help you develop a greater and more intuitive understanding of your reading. Spontaneous, original insights will arise more easily and bring discernment to your questioning. Whether for daily guidance or spiritual exploration, the Mini Tarot de Marseille helps you quickly master its symbolism and apply it to your life with astuteness and clarity.
The Warrior Walker
'An epic and inspirational journey that everyone should read' JASON FOX, SAS: WHO DARES WINS'Could not put this down, an absolute belter from start to finish' FARREN MORGAN, FORMER QUEEN'S GUARD AND AIRBORNE SOLDIERIn 2020, Paul Harris aka 'The Warrior Walker' set off on a pilgrimage around the UK that would rebuild his life from rock bottom and change the way he saw the world forever. Weighed down by a traumatic military past, Paul's life spiralled and he seriously contemplated taking his own life at the age of 36. Then a random text from a friend delivered a route map to emotional safety during what were possibly his final few hours. Paul, why don't you walk the British coast pat? ith only L300 in his pocket and a 30-kilo rucksack on his back, Paul decided to leave his life as he knew it and took up wild camping, slept rough, struggled along the coast paths of Devon, Cornwall and Wales in the sideways rain, and wading through knee-high snowdrifts around the Scottish islands and the burning summer sun on England's east coast. Walking was therapy. Nature was restorative. The path was his friend. The Warrior Walker is more than just one man's journey of self-discovery. Paul's story shines a light on the kindness of strangers, of the coast path that gave him purpose, about discovering family and true love, and how even wrong turns can lead you to exactly where you need to be. In a world where so much human interaction is cruel, divisive and distant, this is an important reminder that there is light even in the darkest of moments.
The St William Window at York Minster
The St William Window at York Minster is one of the greatest surviving English works of art of the late medieval era. It forms one of three monumental stained-glass narratives created at York Minster in the first decades of the fifteenth century, and like its world-famous neighbour the Great East Window, it is the work of the master glazier John Thornton. The window''s monumental scale is matched by its breathtaking artistry, which bears comparison with the finest surviving artistic representations of saints'' life cycles of the age.The window''s subject is the life and miracles of St William of York, a not uncontroversial twelfth-century archbishop whose shrine within the Minster became the focus of a major medieval miracle cult. The modern conservation of the window, which was underpinned by ground-breaking historical research, has enabled the unravelling of its complex narrative and allowed the conserved glass to be reassembled correctly for the first time since the window''s creation. This remarkable conservation story has never previously been told.

News From Tartary
News from Tartary is the account of an illegal, six-month journey from Beijing to Kashmir in 1935. The physical resilience which took Fleming and his Swiss companion, Ella Maillart, across some of the world s most inaccessible mountain passes and desert regions was matched by bravery and luck. China was then caught up in a vicious civil war while trying to repel the invading Japanese, while in eastern Turkestan charismatic Muslim warlords were allying themselves with Soviet Russia. None of the foreign journalists who had attempted to report from this region over the previous eight years had come out alive. The relationship between Peter (reporting for The Times) and the adventurous Ella, with their different abilities and character, becomes a source of gentle fascination. For beneath their easy-going charm, both had that sliver of ice required of a writer and had already travelled alone in the region, setting down their separate adventures in Turkestan Solo and One s Company.

I Do Know Some Things
'A spectacular comeback' Jeremy Noel Tod, Prospect'Siken’s signature intensity still throbs between sentences' The Yale ReviewA collection of pitch-perfect prose poems written in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophic stroke. From the author of cult poetry bestseller, Crush. Richard Siken’s Crush was an underground international sensation. Twenty years on, he returns with the momentous I Do Know Some Things, cinematic in its tragic vision and emotive force. In the aftermath of a stroke, the poet’s language and much of his memory is, for a time, wiped out. As his mind gropes its way back from oblivion, the scenery flickers between memories of a ruptured childhood and queer coming-of-age, and the precipice of the present. Each poem is a room in a ‘house owned by ghosts'. In these seventy-seven prose poems, Siken has forged a new voice at once terrifying and vital. Brave in content and in method, I Do Know Some Things demands his recognition as an essential poet of our times. ‘Thrums with reinvention: of the self, of the prose poem, of the false divide between the everyday and the surreal’ Andrew McMillanPraise for Crush:'Cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power' Louise Glück‘The immense wingspan of influence that Crush has on 21st-century American poetry cannot be overstated’ Ocean Vuong
A Rebel and a Traitor
‘[A] rich, stylish and immersive epic’ Irish Independent ‘Deeply researched and fascinating’The Guardian ‘[Rory Carroll is] an exceptionally gifted storyteller’ Max Hastings ‘A gripping read’ The i Paper ‘A thrilling account of one of the most unpredictable, memorable and poignant figures in our history’ Irish Times The Irish Times No.1 Bestseller From the master storyteller behind 2023’s critically acclaimed KILLING THATCHER A Rebel and a Traitor is the story of a rogue imperial consul who sought to forge a new nation in the middle of a war – and the mercurial spy chief who sought to destroy him by any means. The rogue consul was Sir Roger Casement, a decorated diplomat who turned his back on the British empire and instead joined the rising Irish cause at the turn of the 20th century. At the book’s centre is the manhunt for Casement led by intelligence officer Reginald ‘Blinker’ Hall, the legendary British spy chief who pioneered codebreaking, early mass surveillance and media manipulation. As he did for the critically acclaimed Killing Thatcher, master storyteller Rory Carroll has combed diaries, letters, police reports, memoirs, court transcripts, secret service archives and declassified government files in the US, Britain, Ireland and Germany to create a page-turning history, and a story that still echoes through Anglo-Irish relations. A Rebel and a Traitor raises profound questions about honour, courage and the price of patriotism.
