A megtorlás játéka - Hades 2.
Hades, a holtak istene nem áll senki oldalára, és nem szegi meg a szabályokat. Elveiben nincs kivétel - sem isten, sem halandó, de még a szeretője, Persephone, a tavasz istennője kedvéért sem.
A félelem általában elejét veszi a megtorlásnak. De most nem elég. Amikor Hera, a nők istennője felajánlja Hadesnak a lehetőséget, hogy segítsen neki megbuktatni Zeust, ő nemet mond. Hera azonban
nem viseli jól az elutasítást: büntetésből próbák sorozatára ítéli a holtak istenét.
Mitikus szörnyetegek lemészárlása és halálos ereklyék visszaszerzése - minden egyes próbatétel lehetetlenebbnek tűnik az előzőnél, és egyre inkább elvonja Hades figyelmét Persephonéról.
Csakhogy a tavasz istennője is saját tragédiájával küzd, amely megingatja abban a hitében, hogy lehet-e egyáltalán az Alvilág királynője.

We Are Each Other
'This raw and fearless exploration of life, loss and mostly love - it is totally unforgettable.' Elle's Most Hyped Books of 2026'Beautifully written' - Telegraph'Stunning, lyrical and deeply felt.' Clover StroudWe Are Each Other tells Jess' story of becoming a mother while losing her own to a sudden terminal diagnosis. It's about loss, yes, but at its core it's about how we love when we are living on the threshold of life and death with someone central to our being and place in the world. Jess' mother was the beloved Tessa Jowell MP. She lived a public life, but this is not the story of a public person - it's the story of a mother and daughter, walking both sides of life and death together. The writing began as a way to metabolise her own experience, it tells the story of the way they loved, the way Jess grieved, and the way she renewed in that life-defining year. But the long and enduring journey of completing it over several years sharpened and galvanised its ultimate purpose to be about so much more than Jess and Tessa. It is ultimately for anyone who has loved and lost someone at the centre of their world and identity. That is its purpose: to give language and greater articulation to this most universal human experience.

Flesh
Choose yourself. Reclaim your body. Become whole. The deeply personal and uniquely empowering call to arms from author, model and activist, Charli Howard. 'Powerful and incredibly validating' Lily Reinhart'Extraordinary' Glamour 'Fierce and tender' Yrsa Daley-Ward 'Urgent and timely' Emma Louise-BoyntonIn this urgent and powerful series of essays, author and activist Charli Howard explores how society has objectified the female body throughout time. Through analysing her own body, one piece at a time, Charli charts the impact of long-term sexual objectification and misogyny on the female body, and shows how to reclaim it for yourself and, eventually, truly love it as your own. Through personal reflection and social analysis, she reminds us why we must give ourselves grace when assessing our own bodies, as we are so often viewing them through a lens corrupted long before we were born. Flesh is an unmissable exploration of what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century.
Honoured
'A remarkable book that sees, speaks up and breaks the silence . . . profoundly moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER'The most extraordinary and thought-provoking memoir by any MP in recent times' ANDREW MARRThe inspiring and moving story of a young British Muslim woman coming of age against the odds and discovering the power of her own voice. 'The most unusual and shocking story of a standing MP I have ever read . . . Thank the stars for Naz Shah, a true heroine of our times' LEMN SISSAY'An astounding story of courage and resilience. I couldn't put it down' MONICA ALIBy the age of five, Naz Shah was used to the sight of her father beating her mother. At six, her father left the family for a teenage neighbour. At twelve, she was sent to Pakistan for protection from her mother's new abuser, only to be forced into marriage at the age of fifteen. Within a couple of years, her mother would be in prison, jailed for murdering the man who had subjected her to years of physical and sexual torture, and Naz and her two younger siblings would be left to fend for themselves. For years, Naz campaigned alongside Southall Black Sisters for her mother's release and was instrumental in achieving a reduction in her life sentence. Sustained by the ever-increasing strength of her Islamic faith and guided by its values of justice and compassion, she found purpose in the fight for her family and for others who had been silenced. In 2015, she was elected to Parliament, overturning George Galloway's majority to win back Bradford West for the Labour Party in one of the most momentous battles of the campaign. In serving the very community that once turned its back on her, she has transformed betrayal into leadership. In Honoured, Naz reveals how growing up against almost impossible odds lit the fire that still drives her today. This is the unflinching account of a young British Muslim woman coming of age and discovering the power of her own voice. An inspiring story of survival, faith and political awakening, it charts the making of an activist determined to speak out, stand up and claim space in a world that rarely offers it. 'Naz Shah is a brave, bright beacon of hope and her story is a must read. It will stay with you for a very long time' LORRAINE KELLY'A genuinely riveting account of a remarkable life so far. It is sad and shocking, but also inspiring and uplifting' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL

She had a loving upbringing, her life with husband Rod Stewart has spanned continents, she’s made incredible friendships, become part of an amazing family and embraced motherhood. But it’s not all been plain-sailing. From being relentlessly bullied at school and underestimated because of undiagnosed dyslexia, Penny also experienced a harrowing sexual assault as a young girl.

She shares her wisdom from hard-earned lessons, showing that the key to navigating both storms and sunshine is staying true to you.
Confessions
‘A remarkable debut’ Miranda Cowley Heller, bestselling author of THE PAPER PALACE''A cool, bold image of female pain and liberation'' GuardianIt is late September in 2001 and the walls of New York are papered over with photos of the missing.

Soon, a letter will arrive with the offer of a new life: far out on the ragged edge of Ireland, in the town where her parents were young, an estranged aunt can provide a home and fulfil a long-forgotten promise. There the story of Cora''s family is hidden, and in her presence will begin to unspool…An essential, immersive debut from an astonishing new voice, Confessions traces the arc of three generations of women as they experience in their own time the irresistible gravity of the past: its love and tragedy, its mystery and redemption, and, in all things intended and accidental, the beauty and terrible shade of the things we do.''An irresistible read'' Yael van der Wouden, Booker-shortlisted author of THE SAFEKEEP''Propulsive and utterly captivating … Airey has shades of the American novelists Donna Tartt and Jeffrey Eugenides in her style'' Irish Times
Farewell to Russia
*‘Brilliantly introduces us to faraway countries about which we should know more.’ Tim Marshall, author of Prisoners of GeographyThey might have said goodbye to the USSR – but can they ever say farewell to Russi? now, concrete, the KGB: that’s the cliché of the Soviet Union. But its collapse in 1991 sparked a story at once messier and more compelling than any stereotype. Thirty-five years on, Moscow may brim with champagne bars and blacked-out Mercedes – but what became of the other fourteen states that emerged from the ashe? n the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Joe Luc Barnes crossed the former USSR to find out, from the gleaming towers of Azerbaijan to the former gulags of Kazakhstan, tech-hungry Estonia to the minarets of Uzbekistan. Along the way, he finds epic mountains, cobblestoned old towns and storied Silk Road cities – not to mention Georgian wine, Armenian brandy and vodka in industrial supply. Travelling thousands of miles, he gathers a chorus of voices: nomads in mountain yurts, TikTok-fuelled activists, small-town taxi drivers and many who still look uneasily over their shoulder for the secret police. With insight, empathy and a healthy dose of mordant wit, he asks what has happened – and why – to the people and their hopes and dreams since the great promise of independence. By turns hilarious, angry and heart-stopping, this is a darkly comic, deeply human portrait of a region the West still misunderstands – and a warning of what happens when empires break but the habits of empire refuse to die. If you loved The Silk Roads, Nothing to Envy or The Places in Between, and have a soft spot for Bill Bryson, clear space on your shelf: this is the book for you. Joe Luc Barnes speaks fluent Russian and is one of the few people, if not the only person, to have visited all 15 former Soviet countries since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Offers essential insights into a restless region where Russia, China and the West all vie for dominance. Covers: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Ukraine – and, of course, Russia.
