The Demonic Inventions of Aurelie Blake
In Wisteria, the very act of innovation is forbidden. Any creation—art, music, engineering—conjures a demon from the other side. The greater the innovation, the more dangerous the demon. This has never stopped Aurelie from inventing—but it has made it more difficult. Her inventions are small by necessity, producing demons that she is capable of dispatching alone. But she knows she’s meant for something greater, and each day has her chafing more at the boundaries of her society. Destrier lost his parents to demons as a child, and has devoted his life to preventing more senseless murder at the hands of demons. He was young when he joined the hunters, and each year he’s grown stronger. But it’s never enough. When a mysterious figure offers Aurelie a job she can’t refuse—an impossible, magnificent invention—her decision to accept sets off a chain of events that will alter every aspect of their world… and sparks the connection that will change both Aurelie and Des irrevocably. With the fierce enemies-to-lovers romance of Heartless Hunter and the high-concept worldbuilding of Arcane, The Demonic Inventions of Aurelie Blake will thrill readers looking for their new cross-genre favorite.
Notorious
History loves a villain. Across the entire span of human civilisation, certain people and groups have been identified as being responsible for the ills of the world, and have remained hated for it. In his continuing desire to separate out the facts from the fiction of history, Otto English looks at how these legacies were constructed and who told us that they were evil. From how Bloody Mary became the figurehead of uppity women and how Judas's betrayal became a template for religious tensions for centuries to what the Peasants Revolt and the Illuminati shows us about power struggles throughout the ages, English exposes the agendas behind the 'truths' we've been told to believe. And in looking at how xenophobia was weaponised during the 'Spanish' Flu, he reveals how our past sometimes bleeds into the present day. Fascinating and fearless, Notorious will re-examine some of the history's biggest villains and change the way you see the world forever.
Offseason
A blisteringly funny and transcendently deranged debut novel for fans of Ottessa Moshfegh, Patricia Lockwood and George Saunders'Obscenely good and very funny' CATHERINE LACEY'A startling fever dream of a novel' LUCY ROSE'So smart, weird and eerie . . . I recommend everyone buy it when it comes out' MADELINE CASHIn Offseason, our fiercely observant but self-deluded narrator finds herself teaching at an all-girls boarding school in a remote coastal town. In between manic lectures that veer from Charles Dickens's Bleak House to the childhood maltreatment of her beloved Iosif Stalin and the generational legacy of the Holocaust, she implicates everyone she meets in her quest to pin down where exactly her own life went wrong. Blisteringly funny and transcendently deranged, Offseason marks the arrival of a wild new literary talent. 'Indescribably brilliant . . . You've never read anything like it' ELIZABETH McCRACKEN'A bonkers and beautifully written novel . . . Absorbing and original' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS'Yes, Offseason is hilarious, eccentric and gleefully mean-spirited, but just when you think you know what Sharp is doing, she will shatter your heart. I haven't read something so incisive, so slyly tender in years' LISA McINERNEY'A narrator who makes the familiar strange and the strange familiar' MICHAEL CHABON

Arrogant (and distractingly handsome) Art Sullivan - who Annie hasn't seen since their college days - was supposed to be Hollywood's Next Big Thing. So what's he doing in a soap opera writers' room, apart from pushing Annie's button? oon though Annie's got a bigger distraction: someone's trying to sabotage the show. But she's not going to let her dream go without a fight. Even if it means asking for Art's help to stop them. After Annie and Art find themselves sharing a very hot kiss at the office (which they swear will never happen again), things get even more complicated.

Zápisky z vězení
Bestseller bývalého francouzského prezidenta a jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů světa, jehož zatčení vzbudilo mezinárodní rozruch a přepsalo dějiny
„Ve vězení není co vidět ani co dělat. Slyšet lze naopak mnoho, neboť ticho ve věznici La Santé neexistuje. Hluk je tam pohříchu neustálý. Ve vězení stejně jako na poušti sílí vnitřní život.“
Bývalý francouzský prezident Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012) byl na podzim roku 2025 odsouzen za zločinné spolčení k pěti letům vězení. Údajně totiž nepřímo oslovil osoby blízké libyjskému diktátorovi Muammaru Kaddáfímu a dohodl se s nimi na financování své prezidentské kampaně, což ale vždy důrazně popíral. Poprvé v historii Evropské unie se hlava členského státu ocitla za mřížemi. I přes odvolání ve vězení strávil tři týdny a během nich psal.
Ve svých zápiscích popisuje detaily pobytu v pařížské věznici La Santé, kde byl kdysi vězněn i generál Alfred Dreyfus. Vrací se k procesu, který uvěznění předcházel, i k nedávným rozhovorům s prezidentem Emmanuelem Macronem, s Marine Le Penovou a s dalšími současnými politickými představiteli Francie. Zamýšlí se nad svou politickou kariérou, dnešním stavem francouzské politiky i justice, jež jej podle jeho názoru soudí nikoli „za to, co udělal, ale za to, kým je“.
