Lawless Republic
'A vivid, visceral and crucial read for our times' BETTANY HUGHES'Wonderful and insightful' ADRIAN GOLDSWORTHYThe collapse of law and order in the last years of the Roman Republic told through the rise and fall of its most famous lawyer, Cicero. In its final decades, the Roman Republic was engulfed by crime. Cases of extortion, murder and insurrection gave an ambitious young lawyer named Cicero high-profile opportunities to litigate and forge a reputation as a master debater with a bright political future. In Lawless Republic, leading Roman historian Josiah Osgood recounts the legendary orator's ascent and fall, and his pivotal role in the republic's lurch toward autocracy. Cicero's first appearance in the courts came shortly after the end of a brutal civil war. After leveraging his fame as a lawyer to become a consul, he ruthlessly crushed a coup by suppressing the liberties of Roman citizens. The premiere legal mind of Rome came to argue that the pursuit of a higher justice could sometimes justify sweeping the law aside, laying the groundwork for Roman history's most famous act of political violence - the assassination of Julius Caesar. Lawless Republic vividly resurrects the spectacle of the courts in the time of Cicero and Caesar, showing how politics trumped the rule of law and sealed the fate of Rome.
Peace Be with You!
The first American Pope’s words for the world reveal themes to his leadership: peace, hope, and unity. "I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world. Peace be with you!"With his first public appearance before the world, Pope Leo XIV expressed hope for an “unarmed and disarming” peace. Collected in this beautiful edition are the sermons and speeches Pope Leo XIV has delivered since his May 8, 2025, election, including: his First Apostolic blessing, delivered to the Central Loggia of the Vatican Basilica“Called to Be a Light of Hope,” his video message to the young people of Chicago and the whole world“The compass of natural law,” his Address to Members of the International Inter-Parliamentary Uniona special preface addressing U.S. readersand more. These first addresses convey some of Pope Leo XIV’s vision for the future: the primacy of God, communion in the Church, and the pursuit of peace. His countless calls for reconciliation are addressed not only to politics, but to the heart of every person: “Peace begins with each of us: from the way we look at others, listen to others, speak about others.” He shows us that unity is possible, and it begins in our hearts. In his own words, Pope Leo XIV welcomes us all into communion and calls us to act to protect our shared humanity and our precious home.

The Final Chapter

Sharp, fresh, bold, thrilling and gothic - gripping suspense from a spectacular new Australian talent. An opportunity a writer would die for ... Desley Barron is ready to prove her doubters, and herself, wrong about her flagging writing career. She's won a spot at an exclusive writing retreat in the Blue Mountains. Only instead of feeling creative, Desley finds her insecurity increases while the ghost stories about the house have her jumping at shadows. This secluded house is the last place anyone will think to look for high-profile author Colette Halifax, which is perfect as she hides from a looming scandal. Unfortunately, someone here is threatening to ruin the one part of her life that isn't already a shambles. Meanwhile, Maia McKenzie has plans that don't involve writing at all. She's schemed to ensure the one person she wants to see is here - the man who almost killed her mother. All have a secret. All will do anything to keep it hidden. And they're not alone. The retreat is perched on the edge of a forest steeped in the horrors of Australia's worst serial killer - and no one knows just who is watching. When a storm unleashes its fury and they're trapped, a body is left in the snow ... and any one of them could be next. PRAISE:'Gilchrist hooked me good and proper. Creepy closed-in setting? Enough secrets and suspense to fill a body bag? Twisty narratives and the twisted psyches of we writers who weave them? Yes, don't mind if I do! I could check out from The Final Chapter any time I liked, but I could never leave. What a cracking mystery debut!' Trent Dalton 'A pacy and unpredictable thriller, dripping with atmosphere and sharp observations. With an eerie isolated house and the deteriorating relationships between a cast of distinct and nuanced characters, each with their own agenda, the stage is set for a page-turning, chill-inducing gallop to the finish line.' - Jo Dixon, author of A Shadow at the Door and The House of Now and Then'This story of writers-behaving-badly on a deadly retreat from hell gripped me from the start with its intensely dramatic setting and ghostly goings on. Gilchrist is a bold and confident new voice in the world of gothic fiction - her prose leaps off the page like the storms that plague the retreat. Strap yourself in for a thrilling ride.' - Cassie Hamer, author of The Stranger at the Table'Deviously clever and wickedly sharp - this is one writer's retreat you'll be glad you only visited on the page.' - Kylie Orr, Australian author of The Eleventh Floor
