Weimar
From bestselling historian Katja Hoyer comes a gripping story of life during the rise and reign of Hitler through the eyes of the people of Weimar
*One of the most anticipated books of 2026 according to the Sunday Times, Financial Times and The Telegraph*
Weimar looms large in German history: a crucible of democracy and dictatorship. This ancient town nestled in the heart of the country was home to some of Europe's greatest thinkers, Goethe and Schiller, Liszt and Nietzsche among them. It gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic crafted in the aftermath of the First World War. But it was also where fascism took hold. Where Bauhaus architects first experimented with new ways of living, Buchenwald was dug out of a beech forest.
Weimar shows us a town and its people on the edge of catastrophe. Drawing on a wealth of new archival research, acclaimed historian Katja Hoyer takes us from 1919 to 1939 as she tells the stories of the men and women who lived through the new republic and Hitler's regime. We encounter a vividly drawn cast of characters, from bookbinder Carl Weirich and hotel owners Rosa and Arthur Schmidt, to Friedrich Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth. Here are fascists and socialists, artists and workers, politicians and citizens, who, as the events of history swept them up, became witnesses, perpetrators, victims and bystanders.
An unforgettable picture of lives and choices in extraordinary circumstances, Weimar takes us deep into the heart of the storm - to the town that dreamt of a better world, and woke up to tyranny.

But when Crow learns of an ancient strain of nightmare magic that threatens to unleash devastation on Starsgard, he must make a terrible choice… and decide who he can really trust.
With a stunning, richly-detailed world, an incredible story, and a wonderful cast of characters, Crow: Thief of Magic is an extraordinarily exciting fantasy debut – perfect for fans of Impossible Creatures, His Dark Materials, and Skandar and the Unicorn Thief.

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
Love Scene
HATE AT FIRST SIGHT. THEN COMES THE REWRITE. 'Utterly delicious - I couldn't stop reading this' MARIAN KEYES'Warm, sexy, and full of whip-smart humour that had me cackling through each page, Love Scene is everything I crave in a rom-com. I adored it!' CATHERINE WALSH'A balm for the soul, this is a gorgeously sweet and sexy novel with characters you'll want to befriend and a soap you'll wish was real!' VICKI NOTAROTV writer Annie McDermott has finally landed her dream job. The nightmare part: she has to share an office with her nemesis. 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. But if they can quit arguing long enough to finally admit they make a good team, there might just be another plot twist ahead ... Here's what readers are saying about Love Scene:'Forced proximity, workplace romance, a super camp villain and SO much banter with genuine chemistry ... Absolutely one to put on your TBR!' Netgalley reader'With a style of writing similar to Mhairi McFarlane this author is fast becoming one of my auto-reads. Funny, romantic ... 5 stars all round, no notes' Netgalley reader'Absolutely sensational ... The chemistry between the two is off the charts; in my opinion, an enemies-to-lovers romance is the best kind, and this is one of the best I've read' Netgalley reader'I was hooked. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry & Marian Keyes' Netgalley reader'Love Scene has completely stolen my heart ... If you are a fan of fresh, clever and modern romance novels, you'll love this' Netgalley reader'Their chemistry? FIRE! ... I absolutely loved this unputdownable modern screwball comedy' Netgalley reader'It's 1am. I couldn't stop reading Love Scene today, Anna Carey writes the BEST dialogue. Oh my days, this story is absolutely perfect' Netgalley reader
