Fortune Favours the Grave
When agents of luck are targeted by an unknown force, the newly formed Medusa Division are sent to investigate in this brand-new delightful urban fantasy mystery. Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Jodi Taylor and Garth Nix's 'Booksellers' series. 'This is the perfect book. It's joyful and funny and sad and flamboyant: everything I always went to Terry Pratchett for' NATASHA PULLEY (on Acts of Cupidity)For agents of the Fortuna Division, being lucky isn't just their blessing, it's their business. Responsible for gifting doses of good fortune to oblivious mortals, they are known for being invincible to disaster. However, when agents of luck start turning up dead, it is clear their own fortunes have taken a bad turn. Agents Erron Grover and Nikita Wolf are recruited to a new team solely tasked with unravelling this mystery, but they face an almost insurmountable challenge. Since the almost-apocalypse, several mortals have developed an uncanny ability to see the auras of agency staff and piece together their role in controlling destiny - and will do anything to reclaim their fate. This is one problem croissants and ice cream cannot solve. Has the Afterlife Agency's luck finally run out? 'The perfect balance of fast paced and fun ... It hit me in the heart with a gold arrow!'

As suspicion towards him grows, he and the prince work together to uncover the killer or risk losing the crown - or their lives.

Allies at War
After the fall of France in June 1940, only Britain stood between Hitler and total victory. Desperate for allies, Winston Churchill did all he could to bring the United States into the conflict, drive the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany apart, and persuade neutral countries to resist German domination.
By 1942, after the German invasion of Russia and Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, the British-Soviet-American alliance was in place. But it was an incongruous coalition, divided by ideology and riven with mistrust and deceit. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were partners in the fight against Hitler, yet they were also rivals who disagreed on strategy, imperialism and the future of Europe.
Through an unprecedented range of vivid first-hand accounts and unpublished material, we enter the rooms where the critical decisions were made - revealing the political drama behind the military events. Compelling, fast-paced narrative history at its best, Allies at War offers a completely fresh perspective on the Second World War and origins of the Cold War.

Lies and Sorcery
The first unabridged English translation of the electrifying novel of secrets and delusions, from one of the greatest Italian writers of the twentieth century.
Elisa – orphaned as a child, raised by a ‘fallen woman’, fed by fairy tales – has lived in an outlandish imaginary world for years. When her guardian dies, she feels compelled to confront her family’s tortured and dramatic past, weaving the tale of her mother and grandmother through a history of intrigue, treachery, deception and desire. But as her saga of three generations of Sicilian women proceeds, it becomes something else entirely, taking in a whole legacy of oppression and injustice. By turns flamboyant and intense, raging and funny, Lies and Sorcery is a celebration of the female imagination, and the power of storytelling itself.
First published in 1948, Elsa Morante’s debut novel won the Viareggio Prize and earned her the lasting admiration of generations of writers from Italo Calvino and Natalia Ginzburg to Elena Ferrante.
