Written on the Dark
'Kay is a genius. I've read him all my life and am always inspired by his work' BRANDON SANDERSONA sweeping new novel of love and war that brilliantly evokes the drama and turbulence of medieval France from the internationally bestselling author of Tigana, All the Seas of the World, and A Brightness Long Ago. Thierry Villar is a well-known - even notorious - tavern poet, intimately familiar with the rogues and shadows of that world, but not at all with courts and power. He is an unlikely person, despite his quickness, to be swept into the deadly contests of ambitious royals, assassins, and invading armies. But he is indeed drawn into all these things on a savagely cold night in his beloved city of Orane. And so Thierry must use all the intelligence and charm he can muster as power struggles merge with a decades-long war to bring his country to the brink of destruction. As he does, he meets his poetic equal in an aristocratic woman and is drawn to more than one unsettling person with a connection to the world beyond this one. He also crosses paths with an extraordinary young woman driven by voices within to try to heal the ailing king - and help his forces in war. A wide and varied set of people from all walks of life take their places in the rich tapestry of this story. Both sweeping and intimate, Written on the Dark is an elegant tour de force about power and ambition playing out amid the equally intense human need for art and beauty, and memories to be left behind. PRAISE FOR GUY GAVRIEL KAY'S NOVELS'Tragic, stirring, romantic, meticulous, comic, rueful, worldly-wise, and written in the intimate, deceptively nonchalant voice of a storyteller offering up his great gift' MICHAEL CHABON'Kay is a genius. I've read him all my life and am always inspired by his work' BRANDON SANDERSON'A wonderful talent. He tells stories in an invented world that is so rich in historical echoes that I found myself smiling with pleasure as I heard the echoes, while engrossed in the story. Warmly recommended' EDWARD RUTHERFORD'History and fantasy rarely come together as gracefully or readably as they do in the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay' THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD'By making the familiar ever so slightly strange, Guy Gavriel Kay breathes new life into historical fantasy. Beautifully faceted, jewel-like scenes carry us beyond the doublets and daggers to create an emotionally charged, high-stakes world of love and hate, threat and reward' DAILY MAIL'An immersive reading experience; readers will taste the dust in their mouths, see the high seas from the deck of a merchant ship, feel the bustle of the city market. What results is necessary sustenance for the starving reader. A masterpiece from a master of the craft' BOOKLIST'Gorgeous, generous, humane and deeply aware of the intricacies of human desire and attachment, All the Seas of the World is another masterpiece from Kay' JAMES BRADLEY'I came away from it with spirits lifted and a smile on my face, whilst feeling a wistful sense of regret that the reading experience was over. You can't ask more from a book than that' PARSEC
Private Inquiries
‘Private Inquiries is a must-read – a riveting mythbuster, with its revelations of the real histories of women PIs.’ – Val McDermidThe female private detective has been a staple of popular culture for over 150 years, from Victorian lady sleuths to ‘busy-body spinsters’ and gun-toting modern PIs. But what about the real-life women behind these fictional tales? Dismissed as ‘Mrs Sherlock Holmes’ or amateurish Miss Marples, mocked as private dicks or honey trappers, they have been investigating crime since the mid-nineteenth century – everything from theft and fraud to romance scams and murder. In Private Inquiries, Caitlin Davies traces the history of the UK’s female investigators, uncovering the truth about their lives and careers from the 1850s to the present day. Women like Victorian private inquiry agent Antonia Moser, the first woman to open her own agency; Annette Kerner, who ran the Mayfair Detective Agency on Baker Street in the 1940s; and Liverpool sleuth Zena Scott-Archer, who became the first woman president of the World Association of Detectives. Caitlin also follows in the footsteps of her subjects, undertaking a professional qualification to become a Private Investigator, and meeting modern PIs to find out the reality behind the fictional image. Female investigators are on the rise in the UK – and despite the industry’s sleazy reputation, nearly a third of new trainees are women. After a century of undercover work, it’s time to reveal the secrets of their trailblazing forebears.
The Spy in the Archive
LONGLISTED for the CWA ALCS Gold Dagger for Non-Fiction 2026
The compulsively readable new book from The Rest is Classified host Gordon Corera. About how one man - Vasili Mitrokhin - turned first disaffected dissident and then traitor to the KGB, stealing the most secret Soviet archives and smuggling them to the West.
How do you steal a library? Not just any library but the most secret, heavily guarded archive in the world. The answer is to be a librarian. To be so quiet, that no-one knows what you are up to as you toil undercover and deep amongst the files. The work goes on for decades but remains so low key, that even after your escape, aided by MI6, no-one even notices you are gone.
The Spy in the Archive tells the remarkable story of how Vasili Mitrokhin - an introverted archivist who loved nothing more than dusty files - ended up changing the world. As the in-house archivist for the KGB, the secrets he was exposed to inside its walls turned him first into a dissident and then a spy, a traitor to his country but a man determined to expose the truth about the dark forces that had subverted Russia, forces still at work in the country today.
Bestselling writer and historian Gordon Corera tells of the operation to extract this prized asset from Russia for the first time. It is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, with vivid flashbacks to Mitrokhin's earlier time as a KGB idealist prepared to do what it took to serve the Soviet Union and his growing realisation that the communist state was imprisoning its own people. It is the story of what it was like to live in the Soviet Union, to raise a family and then of one man's journey from the heart of the Soviet state to disillusion, betrayal and defection. At its heart is Mitrokhin's determination to take on the most powerful institution in the world by revealing its darkest secrets. This is narrative non-fiction at its absolute best.
The Fear Opportunity
'Gets to the beating heart of handling fear - and turns it from being a dreaded weight to a potent weapon.' - Bear Grylls'Brilliant and inspiring.' - Ben FogleDo you want to increase your confidence, feel less anxious and get more out of life? In this clear, practical book, Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton shows how much you stand to gain by doing small things that scare you and reframing your relationship with fear. This philosophy didn’t just drive her to gold medals; it powered her through huge challenges from training as a jump jockey to attempting to climb Everest. But Victoria – alongside the neuroscientists, researchers and psychologists she interviews – is clear that the lessons she’s learned from her extreme experiences can be easily applied to your everyday life. Packed with clear takeaways and relatable examples, The Fear Opportunity is a guide to transforming your fears into fuel for discovering what you’re really capable of, what you really care about and for living your richest, most expansive life.

If I Am Not for Myself
Scholar and critic Ruth R. Wisse warns that the failure of liberals to stand up for Jews facing resurgent antisemitism signals the collapse of liberal democratic values. “Ruth R. Wisse is a writer of passion and precision, who has extraordinary polemical powers. All these enviable qualities are beautifully engaged in If I Am Not for Myself, an immensely impressive book on a subject of universal importance.” —Joseph Epstein, author of Never Say You’ve Had a Lucky Life: Especially If You’ve Had a Lucky Life, and recipient of the National Humanities Award “You don’t have to be Jewish to be moved and instructed by this brilliant critique of liberalisms that do not reciprocate the devotions of their adherents. Ruth R. Wisse joins literary grace to analytical rigor in a book that should generate necessary debates for a long time to come.” —Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, founder of the Institute for Religion and Public Life and First Things: A Monthly Journal of Religion and Public Life “The Jews have enemies, as this book urges us to recognize in its passionately felt and powerfully reasoned argument. Ruth R. Wisse mounts a resolve defense of basic Jewish rights and offers a determined challenge to all who would deny them. Her analysis of the psychological and political sources of anti-Jewish hostility is as formidable as it is provocative and deserves the most serious reflection.” —Alvin H. Rosenfeld, professor, and Director of the Center for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism, Indiana University “Wisse’s book is a timely and appropriate response to the ‘Woody Allen syndrome,’ typical of American Jews who charge Israel with betraying their own liberal legacy through its supposed suppression of Palestinian rights. What she charges in return is nothing less than the betrayal of the Jewish heritage itself by well-meaning, assimilated American Jews. Whether or not one agrees with all of her assertions, her book is mandatory reading for those who reject the platitudes of both Left and Right—which coincide in blaming Jews for the aggressions waged against them.” —Ronald Radosh, professor, and coauthor of The Rosenburg File: A Search for the Truth “This is a wonderful book, passionate, wise, and original. Wisse shows how liberalism has led the Jews into the worst betrayal of all—self-betrayal.” —Rael Jean Isaac, coauthor of The Coercive Utopians and Madness in the Streets

Posledný úsvit
Jedno leto. Jedno zničujúce tajomstvo. A láska, ktorá všetko zmení.
Prehnaná starostlivosť matky a vážne zdravotné problémy vytvárajú v dvadsaťtriročnej Oriah Perovej pocit uväznenia. Keď jej matka dostane prácu na Malorke, Oriah vycíti, že toto leto by mohlo byť začiatkom jej vlastného príbehu o dospievaní. Počas svojej prvej malej rebélie sa vyberie sama na pláž, kde stretne charizmatického Španiela Juliána. V jeho prítomnosti sa cíti ešte naivnejšie a neskúsenejšie než zvyčajne, ale rastúca príťažlivosť v nej čoskoro prebudí dávno potlačenú životnú energiu.
Julian postupne vťahuje Oriah do dobrodružstiev, po ktorých vždy túžila. No tajomstvo, ktoré si mladá žena stráži hlboko v srdci a jej blížiaci sa návrat do Ameriky vrhajú tieň na ich spoločne strávené chvíle. Oriah sa musí rozhodnúť: má dosť odvahy, aby konečne nasledovala svoje srdce a začala žiť pre seba?

Bourbon a lži
V kentuckom meste Fiasco existuje len jedno pravidlo: Nikdy sa nezamiluj do niektorého z bratov Foxxovcov.
Každá žena, ktorá ho neposlúchla, na to doplatila – aspoň tak sa povráva. Miestni to nazývajú kliatbou. Lenže ja som ju pocítil na vlastnej koži. A druhý raz by som to neprežil.
Už nie som policajt, no zažil som dosť nebezpečenstva na to, aby som vedel, že Laney Youngová, krásna cudzinka, ktorá sa zjavila v mojom mestečku, pred ním uteká. Klam? o tom, odkiaľ prišla aj čo tu robí.
Nechcem, aby sa motala okolo mojej rodiny ani narúšala tichý život, čo som si tu vybudoval. Lenže moji bratia majú iné plány.
Teraz ju vídam všade – pracuje v mojom liehovare, býva v našom hosťovskom dome, volá ma „kovboj“ a nahá sa kúpe v mojom napájadle pre kone.
Lenže vďaka jej podrezanému jazyku začínam túžiť po veciach, ktorých som sa zriekol už dávno. Mal by som sa jej vyhýbať, zabudnúť na to, ako chutia jej krásne pery, a ignorovať, že vďaka nej opäť po niečom túžim.
Keď sa do mesta prihrnie jej minulosť a zapletie sa s mojou, jej lži sa začnú odhaľovať. Na pravidlách už nezáleží. Pokašľal som to, priveľmi sa v tom vŕtala a nechal ju, aby sa mi dostala pod kožu.
Teraz ju udržia nažive len dve veci: BOURBON A LŽI
Plavkyňa
DÍVAJ SA LEPŠIE
Spoločensky neobratná Chloe Cooperová trávi čas venčením psov, prácou za barovým pultom, starostlivosťou o svoju chorú matku a z bezpečnej vzdialenosti aj pozorovaním ľudí, pričom si vymýšľa príbehy o ich životoch. Zaujmú ju tiež jej noví susedia: známa influencerka Jemma Spenglerová a jej manžel Adam, renomovaný chirurg. Sú atraktívni, bohatí a ich dom s veľkými oknami bez žalúzií je pre ňu priam neodolateľným lákadlom.
Sťahovanie na severozápad Pacifiku má byť pre Jemmu a Adama novým začiatkom, obnoveným záväzkom manželstva, ktoré narušili problémy a tajomstvá. Šancou vyrovnať sa s tragickými stratami z minulosti. Jemme však tento nový začiatok prináša aj znepokojivý pocit, že ju niekto sleduje.
V jedno hmlisté ráno na pláži sa Chloe stane svedkom vraždy plavkyne. Skrsne v nej podozrenie a na svojich susedov sa začína pozerať v novom, oveľa temnejšom svetle. No keď sa prípadu chopí detektívka a jej kolega, ukáže sa, že nič nie je také, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Pretože nielen Spenglerovci skrývajú tajomstvá. A nielen Chloe niekoho pozoruje.

Csipke és kard - Csábító intrikák 1.
A báj a legerősebb fegyverük, a ravaszság a csalhatatlan szövetségesük.
Senki és semmi nem állíthatja meg Medici Katalin udvarhölgyeit.
Fényűzés és nyomor, katolikusok és hugenották, elegáns hölgyek és durva katonák kavargó egyvelege jellemzi a reneszánsz Párizst. Medici Katalin kénytelen a csodálatos Diane de Poitiers-vel osztozni a férjén, II. Henriken, dúl a Habsburgok ellen vívott itáliai háború, és egyre nő a reformáltak száma. Amikor Nostradamus kissé homályos jóslatával előrevetíti a király halálát, Medici Katalin az egyetlen, aki komolyan veszi. A tragédia bekövetkezte után a kétségbeesett királyné összegyűjti legravaszabb és legérzékibb udvarhölgyeit, hogy segítsék kézre keríteni férje gyilkosát.
Olyan nőket gyűjt egybe, akik nem félnek akár a testüket is bevetni a cél érdekében...
Muriel Romana nagy ívű történelmi tetralógiájának, A fűzők és páncélok sorozatnak első része, a Csipke és kard izgalmas és érzéki utazásra invitál bennünket a hatalmi játszmákkal és ármánykodással átszőtt 16. századi francia udvarba.
,,- Hallgatom, gyermekem.
Louise összekulcsolta a kezét, és felnézett rá.
- A paráznaság bűnébe estem Montgomery gróffal, eminenciás uram.
- Élvezetét lelte benne, gyermekem?
A nő az alsó ajkába harapott, mint egy vétket elkövetett kislány.
- Nem, mert önre gondoltam közben, eminenciás uram.
- Rám?! - kérdezte csodálkozva a bíboros.
- Igen! - Louise könyörgő pillantással nézett fel rá. - Csak a szépsége járt a fejemben... a jósága, amelytől átszellemül az arca, eminenciás uram.
- Ez bizony bűnnek hangzik, gyermekem.
A nő megragadta a csuklóját, és lázasan megcsókolta a kezét.
- Megvallom, elkövettem ezt a bűnt, eminenciás uram, és egyetlen pillanatot sem tudnék már elviselni, ha nem kapok feloldozást öntől.
Louise nem értette, hogyan képes továbbra is mosolyogni annak ellenére, hogy az undortól hányinger kerülgette. A teste magától cselekedett, az elméje pedig távolról figyelte ezt.
- Könyörgök, eminenciás uram!
A bíboros csillogó szemmel megsimogatta a haját.
- Olyan feloldozást kap tőlem, amelyet nem egyhamar fog elfelejteni..."
Láska s vůní cappuccina
Lence je přes padesát a má jeden zásadní problém: svého manžela už nemůže ani cítit. Rozvod je tedy logickým koncem – nebo možná začátkem. Jenže zatímco si představovala klidný život, realita jí připraví úplně jinou sérii lekcí: stárnoucí matku potřebující péči, bolestivé běhání, pohledného bývalého spolužáka Radka, příliš moderní snachu… a Honzu, který jí obrátí svět naruby. Ukáže se, že nový život nezačíná tehdy, když člověk podepíše rozvodové papíry, ale až když se přestane bát. Lenka zjišťuje, že život po padesátce není poslední kapitolou, ale spíš jen novou startovní čárou. A někdy stojí za to rozběhnout se, i když nohy protestují.
