The Summer Queen
As a new coven, Aziza, Leo, and Tristan faced evil and triumphed; now, all that’s left is to put their lives back together. But everything changes with the arrival of strange visitors to Blackthorn: the Summer Court, a nomadic community of Fair Folk from deep in Elphame. They’ve come to take back something that belongs to them - something Leo’s not willing to lose. Refusing to give up without a fight, he makes a risky deal with the Summer Court’s princess and regent. The challenge she proposes sends Coven Blackthorn into the farthest, wildest reaches of Elphame. But when you play games with the Fair Folk, even winning has a cost.

The Ride
On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt. Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come - as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding stories. In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a new narrative informed by fresh research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere’s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed - a coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America’s independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride recreates an essential American story for a new generation of readers.
Spiritual Tourism and Landscape
Rooted in ancient traditions, spiritual journeys have long served as powerful catalysts for self-reflection, cultural understanding, and personal growth. With an emphasis on the cognitive transformation that often accompanies such travels, this contributed volume provides both historical context and practical advice to navigate the complex landscape of contemporary spiritual tourism. Spiritual Tourism and Landscape synthesises age-old teachings with modern perspectives, offering readers a comprehensive framework for travellers on meaningful spiritual journeys. By presenting case studies and practical guidance, it encourages mindfulness and intentionality in travel, while addressing critical challenges like cultural appropriation, sustainability, and the commercialisation of sacred sites. Aimed at both academics and industry professionals, the international team of authors emphasises the importance of respect, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity, fostering global empathy and personal transformation through well-guided spiritual exploration.
The Book of Cannabis
In The Book of Cannabis, Jeremy Narby - renowned author of The Cosmic Serpent - delivers a sweeping, clear-eyed exploration of cannabis as both plant and cultural phenomenon. He traces its path from ancient medicinal and ritualistic roles to its place at the centre of debates over wellness, law, and culture in the present day, revealing how cannabis became one of the most controversial plants in history. With the global shift toward legalisation, Narby dives into the latest science on cannabis’s therapeutic potential and risks, especially in the era of high-potency strains and edibles. He unpacks the plant’s transformation through selective breeding and examines its evolving impact on health, society, and the environment. The book also explores the implications of cannabis's changing legal status and its intersection with issues of social justice and public policy. Accessible, nuanced, and deeply informed, this is essential reading for cannabis users, industry professionals, educators, and policymakers alike. Narby’s anthropological lens offers a unique perspective on the plant's journey, making The Book of Cannabis a vital guide to understanding cannabis in all its complexity.

Names and Faces
Who are you? What are you? And how does it feel to be you? Leise Hook was asked these intrusive questions so many times growing up that they haunted her like ghosts. Born to a Chinese mother and white American father, and growing up in Michigan, Tokyo, and Virginia, Leise Hook was never sure where she fit in. More white passing than her Chinese friends and family, but with the Mandarin skills of a native speaker, she was constantly exceeding some expectations while failing to meet others. From moving to Beijing, to dying her hair blonde, to exploring self portraiture, Hook struggles to figure out who she is and where she belongs. In the vein of Cathy Park Hong and Gene Luen Yang, Hook’s graphic memoir-in-essays rendered via her signature, award-winning style, explores what it means to come of age as a mixed-race woman, forging a singular identity in a world intent on putting her into ill-fitting boxes.

They explore Route 66, national parks, historical sites, and Americana icons as Kendzior contemplates love for country in a broken heartland. Together, the family watches the landscape of the United States - physical, environmental, social, political -transform through the car window. Part memoir, part political history, The Last American Road Trip is one mother’s promise to her children that their country will be there for them in the future – even though at times she struggles to believe it herself.

Protect Your Energy
We live in a world of more - work more, earn more, do more - when most of us actually need less. We intuitively know we need less stress, less anxiety, less burnout, but we don’t always know how to make those tangible shifts in our lives. In Protect Your Energy, Zabie Yamasaki helps us connect to our bodies and our inner wisdom to make the powerful changes we need to reclaim control of the thousands of ways our energy is drained and depleted each day. Protect Your Energy helps us compassionately learn to listen to the messages our bodies are sending us through our nervous system and to do less instead of more. With evidence-based practices drawn from Polyvagal Theory, as well as yogic philosophy and personal experience, Zabie shares practical wisdom to help us turn inward to effect small but vital changes that make living in our fast-paced culture more sustainable. Protect Your Energy offers reflections to help us understand both where we are and where we want to go, and it’s filled with restorative and accessible practices to help us understand our energy drains, set and hold supportive boundaries, unwind burnout, and much more. As Zabie shares, “The truth is sometimes what our nervous systems need is less. You hold the wisdom, beauty, and power you need to find relief. And amid all of the noise, your connection to your body and nervous system is your most important teacher.”
Drámák
Lehet-e úgy beszélni a legfontosabb dolgokról, mintha az utcán, a kocsmában, az iskolában vagy otthon, a konyhában beszélgetnénk? Háy János drámái azt mutatják meg, hogy igen, sőt talán csak úgy lehet igazán.
Hősei nem kivételes emberek, hanem olyanok, akik többnyire észrevétlenek maradnak: a peremre szorultak, a dühösek, a reménykedők, a szeretetre vágyók. Esendők és kiszolgáltatottak, néha még akár nevetségesek is, mégis megrendítően emberiek, ezért ismerünk bennük magunkra olyan könnyen.
A kötetben szereplő drámák egyszerre nyersen és költőien szólnak családról, kudarcról, vágyról és magányról. Történetek rólunk: arról, milyen nehéz felnőni, szeretni és szabadnak lenni.
The Secrets of the Abbey
Summer in Brittany has carried into October, bringing warm, sunny days and balmy nights. For Commissaire Georges Dupin and his team, it also brings a heavy blow. Second inspector Kadeg’s aunt has passed away after being struck by a series of omens of death. And when Kadeg travels to the former abbey where his aunt lived, he’s attacked and critically injured. Determined to find out what happened, Dupin and his team head to the aunt’s estate on the Côte des Légendes. It’s a place that at any other time would be paradise. Dupin has always believed that monks always knew where to settle, in the most beautiful and safest of places. But the more the team looks into what happened at the former abbey, the more questions are uncovered, and the more secrets Kadeg’s family seems to have.
Umírající světlo
Orkneje vítají slunovrat. Jenže léto klame. Ani nejdelší dny nepřinesou světlo.
V pravěké hrobce na ostrově Hoy se jedno červnové ráno najde tělo postaršího muže. Podle detektiva Ferguse Muira musí jít o turistu, který prostě jen přecenil síly při večerním výšlapu. Indicie však naznačují, že se tu odehrálo něco mnohem zlověstnějšího. Mrtvý se měl v noci v hrobce s někým sejít a obsah schůzky by mohl konečně osvětlit tragédii chlapce, který se na Orknejích pohřešuje od slunovratu přesně před třiceti lety.
Reportérka Freya Sinclairová se však o nové vyšetřování svého kmotra zajímá tentokrát spíš okrajově. Plně ji zaměstnává luštění záhady tajných zápisků, v nichž její otec odhalil provázanost orknejské policie s gangstery. Kvůli otcově památce je ochotna postavit se zločincům znovu – s buldočí urputností, která ji dovede až na hranu sebeobětování a tvrdě zasáhne její nejbližší.
Také druhý krimi thriller Daniela Aubreyho se opírá o podmanivé kouzlo Orknejského souostroví, jež se nyní čtenářům předvede v severském létě, kdy nad ním slunce téměř nezapadá.

„– Hallottad? – kérdezte Malacka Tigrist. – Mackó mondta, hogy Róbert Gida szerint idén mindannyiunknak zöldebbnek kellene lennünk.
– Zöldebbnek? – hüledezett Tigris. – Nem hinném, hogy léteznek zöld tigrisek! Mégis mit kéne tennem, hogy én az legyek?
Azzal elugrált, de csak nem hagyta a dolog nyugodni. Amikor összefutott Fülessel, elmesélte neki, amit Malackától hallott.
– Zöldebbnek, mi? – sóhajtotta Füles. – Mikor már végre elfogadtam, hogy szürke vagyok, mint egy szamár, minden megváltozik…”
