CONQUEST TO CHARTER The Resilience of England 940 – 1272
1066 is one of the most famous dates in English history, with the Norman Conquest highlighted in the Bayeux Tapestry (due in England for the first time in 2026). But how much do we really know about what is a far more complex story? This book represents a fresh approach to such issues as:? How Athelstan’s England slipped into the disasters of Aethelred and the Danish Conquest of 1016. ? How England and Normandy were linked long before and after Hastings. ? How Edward the Confessor contributed to the Norman Conquest, and what defeat really meant to the English. ? How the Norman inheritance led to Anarchy before Henry II expanded his territory through to the south of France. ? How Henry’s legacy was comprehensively lost by his sons, with England given to the pope and nearly taken over by the French. ? How, out of all this adversity, Magna Carta and an effective parliament emerged, proving England and its people remarkably resilient.
Theodoras Tea Shop
Perfect for fans of TJ Klune and Sarah Beth Durst, Theodora's Tea Shop by Christy Anne Jones is a fantasy novel brimming with witchy magic, found family, self-love and lots of warm cups of tea.
Nothing is more dangerous than a witch with secrets.
Dorothy Louise Walcott should have died at fourteen. She is now twenty-three, timid, chronically ill, and yearning for a life she can never have. Her dreams of studying magic and publishing her discoveries feel impossible: even if license-less magic weren't outlawed, her family would never allow it. But if Dot stays at home any longer, she will wither and fade away. So with nothing but a carpetbag and her ambergris tonic, Dot flees dreary Seafarthing for the capital city of Alliaster, where she tumbles headfirst into an apprenticeship with the most powerful witch in the city: Theodora.
Empress of an underground syndicate peddling magic through the quaint façade of her tea shop, Theodora is everything Dot wants to be: beautiful, witty, confident. An esteemed oil painter one day, a member of parliament the next, the many faces of Theodora have charmed power from the city's elite. Under her tutelage and in the company of the tea shop's eccentric staff - headstrong teenager Rupert, brooding and Byronic magician Lio, and the kindly spirit Belchambre - Dot finally has the chance to be her true magical self.
But the dazzling and enigmatic Theodora has more secrets than she does faces. When her dark past comes calling, it threatens to drown her entire empire - and take Dot, the tea shop, and the city of Alliaster with it.
Eclipse of the Crown - Villains and Virtues 3
From indie sensation A.K. Caggiano comes the epic third book in the Villains & Virtues series, perfect for fans of The Princess Bride, following a not-so-evil-anymore demon lord and the baroness responsible for his change of heart who finally must confront their feelings for each other, but how can they admit their attraction when the world is ending?
In the third installment of AK Caggiano's Villains and Virtues series perfect for fans of Sydney J. Shields and Kimberly Lemming, a demon lord and the baroness who's wormed her way into his heart try to find time to admit their feelings for each other. If only the world would stop ending long enough for them to do so..
Their destinies are irrevocably entangled, but will their bond finally be the realm's ultimate undoing?
Nothing about Damien Maleficus Bloodthorne's evil destiny has gone according to plan. The reason? A certain noblewoman who has somehow enmeshed herself in his softening heart.
Now back amongst his peers at Yvlcon, the preeminent congregation of the vilest and most unscrupulous villains, Damien's moral growth is threatened- and just when he was learning to be a little less evil too. Consequently, Lady Ammalie Avington, Daughter to the Baron of Faebarrow, finds her own virtue in peril when faced with so much temptation, namely in the form of a domineering blood mage she can't-or doesn't want-to say no to.
But a burgeoning romance is doused in the coldest of baths when the Grand Order of Dread commands Damien to once again face the swirling vortex of entropy that's been hunting them across the realm. The coming eclipse points to devastation and destruction, and with prophecy being, well, prophecy, annihilation seems impossible to avoid.
But there's an entire fortnight before the world is supposed to end, and surely that's enough time to find some way around it. . . or at the very least to confess one's devotion before it all.
Lola & the Millionaires: Part Two - Sweetverse 3
From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Moon comes the Sweetverse: a scorching, emotional, why-choose omegaverse for fans of Katee Robert and Harley Laroux.
From USA Today bestselling author Kathryn Moon comes the Sweetverse: a scorching, emotional, why-choose omegaverse for fans of Katee Robert and Harley Laroux.
Lola is being hunted by her past, stalked with every step she takes. Sheltered with the pack of her dreams, at first it seems like the hardest challenge isn't even staying safe from Indy. Tensions at work are at a tipping point and after taking the role of management's spy, Lola's in the crossfire if anything goes wrong. As romances between Lola and the pack members are developing left and right, the woman who swore she wanted nothing to do with alpha is turning to them like a bloom to the sun.
If only it weren't just one monstrous alpha that twisted her own thoughts. Lola is quickly realizing that her worst enemy is herself, and it's like walking the tightrope to find a balance with the pack that gives her strength rather than sends her toppling to the ground.
But Indy won't be ignored. One way or another, he's determined to get his hands on her again. Lola needs more than a pack to shield her. She needs to be ready to fight.
In the Realm of the Last Man
In 1989, one year before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Francis Fukuyama - then an early-career academic who had cut his teeth conducting research for Ronald Reagan during his years as California governor - delivered a conference paper that would go on to become one of the most celebrated -and controversial - works of political theory of our time: The End of History. By 2009, he had broken with his neoconservative mentors, from Allan Bloom to Paul Wolfowitz, after recanting his support for the 'disastrous' invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the laissez-faire economics that produced the financial crash of 2008. But why did he change his mind? In this powerful political memoir, encompassing his father's involvement in the civil rights movement and his own work on CIA contracts in the 1980s, Fukuyama analyses his life alongside the seismic political shifts of the last thirty years - from Bush to Obama to Trump, from the War on Terror to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Profound and provocative, this is an intimate portrait of one of the twenty-first century's most important thinkers, an urgent study of contemporary politics - and a treatise on how the West can claw democracy back from the brink.
Stín a kletba
Špetkou soli, koštětem
všechno zlé vyháním ven.
S kufry plnými lektvarů a medicín se Jane Airová jednoho svěžího a jasného říjnového rána vydává čelit výzvě, jakou dosud ve škole pro osiřelé dívky nezažila. Nad Thornfieldem se vznáší stín, stejně jako nad Edwardem Rochesterem, jeho samotářským pánem. A Jane si Rochester najal jako poslední záchranu.
Jane se svým novým nedůtklivým zaměstnavatelem těžko hledá společnou řeč, ale postupně se ukazuje, že to je to nejmenší – horší je tajemná síla, která jí brání v práci. Hrozeb přibývá, a to jak kolem Jane, tak kolem Rochestera, a ten jí navíc den ode dne připadá zajímavější a přitažlivější. Začíná mít obavy, že její znalosti bylinek a kouzel nebudou stačit, aby muže, který je jejímu srdci stále bližší, zachránila před hrozbou temnější a nebezpečnější, než si vůbec dokázali představit.
Kód lásky
Tvůj nový kolega? Neromantický, chladný a dost nečitelný…
Jako softwarová vývojářka u jedné seznamovací aplikace Emmy pevně věří na happy end, i když její vlastní milostný život momentálně stagnuje. Místo toho provozuje svůj tajný Broken Hearts Ghosting Service, který ženám dává odpověď na to, proč se jim muži, se kterými randily, úplně přestali ozývat – a mužům ukazuje, že jejich chování má následky.
Další na řadě je Leon, který po první schůzce ghostoval její nejlepší kamarádku. Leon je odmítavý, rezervovaný… a šíleně přitažlivý. A ještě ke všemu se z něj vyklube Emmyin nový kolega a bratr jejího šéfa. Právě Emmy ho má zasvětit do práce v kanceláři a spolu s ním start-up zachránit, čímž se s ním stále víc sbližuje.
Do takového neromantického chlapa by se ale nikdy nemohla zamilovat – nebo snad ano?
Svitupád
Po staletí se upíři volně potulovali světem, dokud se zčistajasna neobjevili Šedivci a během jediné noci nevyhubili polovinu jejich populace. Přeživší nalezli útočiště v posledním upírském městě, Svitupádu, kde platí jasná pravidla: pro chudé slabá krev, pro šlechtu ta nejlepší. A město nesmí nikdo z nich nikdy opustit.
Služebná Sam má těchto pravidel už plné zuby, stejně jako vymývání nočníků urozených tyranů a jejich nadřazenosti. Když je zavražděn syn prvního lorda a Sam narazí na jedinou stopu k pravdě o jeho smrti, chopí se příležitosti vydláždit si cestu do vyšší třídy a ke kvalitnější krvi vydíráním. Brzy se přidá k Pijavicím, skupině vzpurných služebných, které dělají těm nejhorším z hrozných ze života dvojité peklo. Zakrátko se ocitá po boku čaroděje, jenž se díky umění dedukce obejde i bez magie, smrtící vlkodlačí vražedkyně a hraběnky, která zná tajemství všech ve městě.
Má to však jeden háček. Co začalo jako vyšetřování vraždy, vedlo k odhalení rozsáhlého spiknutí vládnoucí elity. Sam proto musí rozkrýt pravdu dřív, než padne Svitupádu za další oběť. Pokud se nenechá zabít, možná dojde života věčného.

She knows the relationship is doomed, but Rachel can’t tear herself away. When Taryn, determined to save her from heartbreak, draws her into the tango scene, a truth erupts that leaves both of them reeling.

On one of her routine trips to the capital, Alyssium, Marin finds a revolution underway - and a friend in the line of fire.

Star Wars: Legacy
Set between Episodes VIII and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.
After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed. Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there-and to her surprise, so does Leia.
Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete. As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst. With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

Žoldnéři fantasie: Piráti z Karibiků
Dnes již zpola zapomenutý romanopisec Robert Louis Stevenson přivedl na scénu piráta Dlouhého Johna Silvera (a v komiksech dodnes figuruje jeho postava dvou tváří dr. Jekyll a pan Hyde). Piráti tak okupují hladinu novodobé dobrodružné literatury, ale daří se jim v i zátočinách fantastiky: skryté poklady střežené nestvůrami a bájná města v džunglích, prokleté předměty i zbraně, strašliví, bezcitní kapitáni (jako Flint).
Uplyne sto dvacet let pirátské literární slávy, než se filmaři rozhodnou Prokletím Černé perly (2003) tématu vzdát čest směsí tradičních klišé (často obracených naruby) okořeněných černým humorem a geniálním hereckým výkonem Johnnyho Deppa. Načež uplyne další čtvrtstoletí a dnes v našem sborníku můžete nahlédnout do vítězného textu na stejné vlně, kde ve strážním koši zírá do dáli elf, poklady jsou stále neměnně prokleté a lodi mají vlastní duši...

Beginning Middle End
From the award-winning author of Lost Children Archive, Valeria Luiselli, comes a wondrous new novel about family, time and starting over.
All I had to do, or so I thought, was to answer a simple question: How do I reinvent it, the story, our lives?
A mother and a daughter take off on a road trip after the collapse of a marriage. Their journey begins in Sicily during a summer of rapidly-changing winds, volcanic rumbles and sudden tempests. How do you begin again, the mother wonders, if you got the beginning wrong? The trip soon becomes a quest for origins - not just through their family history, but also further back to a mythical and even geological past.
With her daughter leaving childhood behind and her mother beginning to show signs of dementia, the narrator finds herself at a crossroads. She must now ask herself: How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family's memories made and what happens when they disappear?
A road novel, a mother-daughter story, a radical portrait of starting over, in all its forms, Beginning Middle End offers an exhilarating testament to the power of the stories and the loves we hold most dear.
The Good Parts
She erased their past.
He's rewriting their future.
When Landon receives a letter from Rose - the woman he once planned forever with - he learns their love story is over. She's undergone a radical memory-erasing treatment, leaving behind her grief, her past . . . and him. But Landon can't bear to lose the love of his life. If she fell for him once, couldn't she fall for him again?
Now living in Edinburgh, Rose's world is a blank canvas, and she's dating someone new. When Landon re-enters her life as a stranger, they become friends, their lives entwining once more. But what Rose doesn't know is that this new friend carries the weight of everything they once shared: their firsts, their marriage, and the heartbreak they barely survived. And when she starts exhibiting strange symptoms, it becomes clear their history isn't gone - it's just buried. And remembering could come at a devastating cost.
Told in alternating timelines - his from the present, hers from the past - The Good Parts is an achingly poignant story about the people we become across a lifetime, and the quiet grace of learning to let go while holding on to what's worth keeping.
This is one love story you'll never forget.
