Once upon a time there lived the (annoyingly) perfect hero Maximillian - a champion with a blinding smile, muscles sculpted by the gods, and an infuriating dedication to all things noble and good. But this isn't his story. Good is boring. Honour is overrated. This is the story of Cyrus, the kingdom's most feared wrongdoer. Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy. But even Cyrus has to admit, keeping up a fearsome image is a lot of work. So, when that golden boy Maximillian offers a deal to fake a rivalry, Cyrus can't resist. A few staged battles, some public drama - it's the perfect way to boost both their reputations. Sure, it means spending more time with his so-called 'enemy', but how hard could that be? Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him? Nope, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Globally famous and yet universally misunderstood – these are the complex and utterly engrossing stories of Britain's royal women behind the public façade. Saints or sinners? Perfect princesses or difficult duchesses? Monarchy’s saviours or its destroyers? They rank among the world’s most famous women – and the most misunderstood. Throughout history, royal women have been sanitised and sanctified by supporters, distorted and demonised by critics, pitted against each other, and misrepresented by the media. In this extraordinary portrait, journalist Catherine Mayer examines the lives of the central players, and the echoes and parallels that have run throughout history. The stories of Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Victoria, Elizabeth II, Diana, Camilla, Kate and Meghan uncovered by Catherine Mayer are far more fascinating, poignant, surprising and enraging than any of the myths. Divide and Rule reveals these extraordinary women in all their complexity, charting their achievements, quirks, kindnesses, cruelties and profound influence. Drawing on key sources, many of whom have never spoken publicly before, this book also demonstrates the ways in which history repeats itself – to the detriment not only of royal women but all of us.

No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.

A truly meticulous and atmospheric exploration of the Steel City and the haunting, bleak beauty of the surrounding moors' – Sean Watkin 'A police procedural with real moral weight: layered, socially charged, and rich with lived-in detail.

A sharp, funny, unputdownable historical(ish) debut, with an incredibly distinctive and witty voice, this romp of a novel is perfect for fans of Gwen and Art are Not in Love and Our Flag Means Death. Kit Davenport is in trouble – not that this would surprise anyone who knows him. Headstrong, reckless, and utterly unsuited for the stodgy House of Lords, Kit has spent years dodging his father’s stern disapproval and delighting in clandestine rendezvous. But time is running out. With an arranged marriage looming and the confines of white wigs and stiff decorum closing in, Kit is desperate to escape a life that feels completely wrong for him. His solution? A wildly impulsive decision that lands him aboard the Deliverance, a galleon captained by the infuriatingly charismatic Reggie Sharpe. With a devil-may-care attitude and a delicious grin, Captain Sharpe commands the waves with his crew of misfits…who all turn out to be pirates. Before Kit can say “wrong ship,” he’s trading ballroom etiquette for rum-soaked camaraderie, explosive gunfights, and, perhaps most excitingly, heart-stopping kisses under the stars. But life at sea holds just as many secrets as treasures. And when Kit’s past catches up with him, he’ll have to decide who he truly wants to be: a gentleman or a pirate? Perfect for fans of Gwen and Art are Not in Love, Our Flag Means Death, Captain of Fates, and My Lady Jane, A Prince Among Pirates is the unbelievably funny, sharp, and romantic historical adventure that will be the debut of 2026.
