The Legend of Meneka
A spicy romantasy steeped in Indian Mythology. Across the realms, celestial dancers known as apsaras are revered for their beauty, allure, and enchanting magic. But Meneka knows that is not all they are. They are weapons – warriors – seducing their targets for Lord Indra, the king of heaven, for his political gain. When a mortal’s growing powers threaten Lord Indra’s supremacy, Meneka seizes a rare opportunity and strikes a deal. If she can seduce this dangerous man, Indra will grant her what she most desires: her freedom. But upon meeting the mortal Kaushika, Meneka finds herself captivated, despite his power threatening to destroy everything she’s ever known. Can she overthrow the man who is, little by little, stealing her heart, or is he seducing her instead and to what end? As war looms in the skies, Meneka must choose between her duty to protect her home, and the man who is showing her what love can truly mean.

Rot
'A vigorous and engaging new study of the Irish famine . . . Richly underpinned by research in contemporary sources and firmly rooted in historical scholarship.' Fintan O'Toole'A vivid, polemical narrative that does justice to victims and explains the ideologies that worsened the disaster.' Irish Independent'Scanlan's history of the ''Great Hunger' and its repercussions is meticulous, measured and damning.' Financial Times'Mr. Scanlan's haunting and terrible book is undoubtedly a history title of the year.' Wall Street JournalIn the 1800s, as Britain became the world's most powerful industrial empire, Ireland starved. The Great Famine fractured long-held assumptions about political economy and 'civilisation', threatening disorder in Britain. Ireland was a laboratory for empire, shaping British ideas about colonisation, population, ecology and work. In Rot, Padraic Scanlan reinterprets the history of this time and the result is a revelatory account of Ireland's Great Famine. In the first half of the nineteenth century, nowhere in Europe - or the world - did the working poor depend as completely on potatoes as in Ireland. To many British observers, potatoes were evidence of a lack of modernity among the Irish. However, Ireland before the famine more closely resembled capitalism's future than its past. While poverty before and during the Great Famine was often blamed on Irish backwardness, it did in fact stem from the British Empire's embrace of modern capitalism. Uncovering the disaster's roots in Britain's deep imperial faith in markets and capitalism, Rot reshapes our understanding of the Famine and its tragic legacy.

Please Live
A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'Powerful . . . a coming-of-age story with a twist' Guardian'Heart-wrenching . . . We need accounts like this haunting, compelling book' Telegraph'A profound and moving tribute . . . It is Lana's inside perspective on what it was like to grow up within this society that makes this such a unique and powerful book' Sunday Times'Wonderfully brave, beautifully written and utterly authentic' TLS'Haunting' Radio Times'Please live' were the last words fifteen-year-old Lana said to her mother. Shortly afterwards Natalia Estemirova was kidnapped outside their apartment block in Grozny, Chechnya. On 15th July 2009, she was murdered for telling the truth. A mountainous sliver of land which creates a natural boundary between Europe and Asia, for centuries Chechnya had been a sharp bone in Russia's throat. Three years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, frustrated by the continued presence of the independence movement within Chechnya, Russia invaded. It was a war of extraordinary brutality. It turned Lana's mother, Natalia Estemirova, from a teacher into a human rights investigator. She became a dedicated member of Memorial, intent on exposing the kidnappings, bombings, torture and murders committed by Russian forces and Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed Chechen President. Natalia Estemirova's life, assassination, and the impunity that followed it, tell the story of Putin's Russia. This is Lana's story of growing up in a war. Of the intense bond between a mother and daughter, desperate to be together even though it was so much safer for Lana to live elsewhere, often for months at a time. It is a book both about being brave and about being ordinary in extraordinary times. It's the fulfilment of a promise Lana made at her mother's grave.
The Undisputed King of Selston
'Captivating and deeply moving.' Richard Coles'Evocative, beautifully written . . . conjures locations and feelings almost magically.' Jeremy Vine'My brain has made the decision . . . I am going to love this book.' Richard Hawley There was a time when he felt like the undisputed King of Selston. Then again, there were several years when he was convinced that he could talk to animals and had even mastered the power of flight - sailing nightly over the headstocks, slag heaps and doggedly beautiful countryside of an isolated East Midlands mining village. But, deep down, Danny Scott knew that the real King of Selston was and always would be coal. Over the last seven hundred years, coal dust had settled on every inch of Selston. It was in the food he ate, the air he breathed and the words he spoke. It fashioned resilient men like his dad and The Texan; feisty women like his mother, whose right-hook was feared even more than her fondness for house fires. Danny was a clever bugger - dangerously clever, some said - and fiercely proud of Selston, his dad and his mining heritage. Five generations of his family had spent their working lives underground, providing fuel for the Industrial Revolution, the electrical, rail and motoring revolutions. Without it, the modern age wouldn't have been so . . . modern. But as this young boy prepared to follow in his dad's footsteps, things began to change. The Devil became captain of the local darts team. Fortune tellers held seances in the front room of his council house. And that once unassailable King's reign seemed to be coming to an end. For dangerously clever buggers, there was only one option... somewhere else, someone new. Funny, poignant and alive to the unheralded beauty, purpose and camaraderie of a village which finds itself on the wrong side of history, THE UNDISPUTED KING OF SELSTON shines a light onto a forgotten industry and the dark shadows that wormed their way into the families who got left behind. 'Proper working class stories don't get much of a look-in these days. A shame, really. Especially when they're as beautifully written as this one.' Noddy Holder

Featuring a race-by-race rundown alongside over 100 stunning full-colour photographs. 'Relive the euphoric highs and the gut-wrenching lows of one of the most dramatic title fights in F1 history. Nate Saunders pens an outstanding blow-by-blow account of Lando Norris’ remarkable journey to world championship glory in the face of adversity' - Lawrence Barretto, F1’s Lead Correspondent and Channel 4’s F1 Reporter‘With customary wit and warmth, Nate Saunders brilliantly retells the story of a season that defied all expectations...’ - Alex Jacques, Author of Grid to Glory Lando Norris: Road to World Champion charts his extraordinary rise to become motorsport’s 2025 standout star. From a shy, gaming-obsessed teenager to Britain’s newest Formula One World Champion, Norris’ journey is anything but straightforward. Despite starting out as an early fan favourite at McLaren – funny, relatable and refreshingly vulnerable – questions persisted about whether he had the ruthlessness required to reach the sport’s summit. But now, after recently becoming the Winner of the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award and gaining an F1 title win, it seems like the only way is up for Norris. Here, Formula One journalist Nate Saunders of ESPN — a leading global multiplatform sports brand — reveals that Norris’s story is ultimately one of perseverance and authenticity. The dramatic 2025 title fight, against teammate Oscar Piastri and the formidable Max Verstappen, pushed him harder than ever and went down to the last second, but in the pressure cooker of Abu Dhabi he proved his mettle. In a full-colour celebration featuring over 100 photographs, Nate Saunders traces Lando’s journey to win the title and offers insider access to how he rewrote the script for what a champion can look like. This is the race-by-race story of a young man who faced his fears, silenced the doubters and won the biggest prize in motorsport – his way.
