Riftborne
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe gorgeous standard edition of Riftborne, with beautiful jacket effects, illustrated endpapers and a special hardcover case design. AN UNLEASHED POWER. AN ALL-CONSUMING DESIRE. Decades after a rebellion tore through the Isle of Sidhe, Fia Riftborne has learnt three important lessons to survival: keep your head down, don’t draw attention to yourself, and avoid the Sídhe Guard at all costs. That isn’t so easy though when she harbours a secret power, one that would paint a target on her back if discovered. But, after a simple errand goes awry and her explosive power erupts, Fia knows she can no longer hide in the shadows. Only, the swift punishment she expected never materialises. Instead, the elusive General Laryk Ashford offers her a choice: join the Sídhe Guard. . .or face execution. Soon, Fia faces another impossible choice: surrender to the chaos within and risk destroying everything she holds dear or become a weapon in the hands of those who took everything from her. Including the alluring General who is starting to consume her every thought. . . This slow-burn, true enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with high stakes and political intrigue is perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Pandora is the first human woman – made by the gods on Olympus for one simple purpose: to love and be loved by her new husband, the titan Epimatheos. The only problem? He wants nothing to do with her. Hurt and confused, Pandora struggles to find meaning in her new life. What's the point of being given all these gifts by the gods, if she can't get this infuriating, awful, frankly very rude man (with an admittedly quite nice face) to love her? Maybe she's failing at her life’s purpose. Or maybe she's destined for an entirely different one . . . ?As Pandora and Matheos work to uncover why she was created, that fated connection between them feels increasingly difficult to ignore. And with that comes terrible risk. Because Matheos’s traitorous brother, Prometheus, is a seer – and before the gods captured him he issued a final warning: that Pandora and Matheos’s love will be humanity’s doom. So . . . what do you do when faced with an all-powerful love . . . that just happens to threaten the end of the worl? andora’s about to find out. A glorious sunshine/grumpy romantic re-imagining of the Pandora myth, from the bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen and The End Crowns All
