Even his own brothers are strangers to him. He s the guy who can re-engineer and rebuild anything in new and bad-ass ways, but he can t understand what s going on with the inner workings of his brain.

This special edition features premium design enhancements-including sprayed and designed edges, a glossed and embossed cover, and an original piece of commissioned artwork. Is Love Stronger Than Vengeance? A Betrayal... Everything Poppy has ever believed in is a lie, including the man she was falling in love with. Thrust among those who see her as a symbol of a monstrous kingdom, she barely knows who she is without the veil of the Maiden. But what she does know is that nothing is as dangerous to her as him. The Dark One. The Prince of Atlantia. He wants her to fight him, and that's one order she's more than happy to obey. He may have taken her, but he will never have her. A Choice....

The Descenters want her dead. The wolven are growing more unpredictable. And as her abilities to feel pain and emotion begin to grow and strengthen, the Atlantians start to fear her. Dark secrets are at play, ones steeped in the blood-drenched sins of two kingdoms that would do anything to keep the truth hidden. But when the earth begins to shake, and the skies start to bleed, it may already be too late.

She kept this book for years. Putting a menu together is still her favourite part of cooking. Menus aren't just groups of dishes that have to work on a practical level (meals that cooks can manage), they also have to work as a succession of flavours. But what is perhaps most special about them is the way they can create very different moods - menus can take you places, f

First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic—an intellectual and artistic benchmark from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction, Neil Gaiman. Now discover the mystery and magic of American Gods in this tenth anniversary edition. Newly updated and expanded with the author’s preferred text, this commemorative volume is a true celebration of a modern masterpiece by the one, the only, Neil Gaiman. A storm is coming . . . Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life. But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow’s best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself. Life as Wednesday’s bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined—it is a job that takes him on a dark and strange road trip and introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. Along the way Shadow will learn that the past never dies; that everyone, including his beloved Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are more real than we know. Ultimately, he will discover that beneath the placid surface of everyday life a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and that he is standing squarely in its path. Relevant and prescient, American Gods has been lauded for its brilliant synthesis of “mystery; satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose” (Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World) and as a modern phantasmagoria that “distills the essence of America” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is, quite simply, an outstanding work of literary imagination that will endure for generations.

On a chilly day in March of 2020, in the early days of the pandemic, Belle Burden's husband of twenty years announced, with no prior warning, that he was leaving her. His decision shocked Belle to her core: she believed he was a happy man, a committed partner, and a devoted father to their three children.

After her young son nearly drowns at a neighborhood pool party, Charlotte Mercer starts losing pieces of her life in ways she cannot explain. Sleepless nights blur into missing hours. Conversations disappear from memory. Her husband insists she is struggling with trauma, but when strange warnings begin appearing across the smart devices inside their home, Charlotte becomes convinced someone is watching her family from inside the house itself. In The Family Calendar, Charlotte tries to hold together a marriage already strained by fear, resentment, and unspoken blame after the accident that almost destroyed them. Evan Mercer believes his wife's behavior has become increasingly dangerous since their son survived the incident. Their teenage daughter walks carefully around her mother's unpredictable moods, while their younger son quietly withdraws into fear and confusion. Every room inside the Mercer home begins to feel tense with things nobody wants to say aloud. Then the messages start. At first they appear as small glitches on the family calendar system that controls the house. Random notifications. Strange reminders. Unexplained alerts arriving in the middle of the night. But the messages quickly become personal. They warn Charlotte not to trust her husband. They reference private moments nobody else should know about. They reveal details connected to the pool accident that Charlotte herself can barely remember. As Charlotte digs deeper, she discovers hidden psychiatric evaluations, deleted security footage, and evidence that Evan has been secretly documenting her behavior for months. The home's cameras have recorded episodes Charlotte has no memory of, including nights when she wandered the halls speaking to unseen people and standing outside her son's bedroom holding a kitchen knife. Evan insists he only wanted to protect the family after Charlotte's mental state deteriorated, but Charlotte can no longer tell where concern ends and control begins. The deeper she investigates, the more unstable her reality becomes. Anonymous photographs begin printing from devices inside the house. Security systems activate on their own. Hidden files reveal that a consulting psychiatrist has been remotely accessing the Mercer home through the surveillance network. At the same time, Charlotte uncovers signs that someone may have been stalking the family long before the pool accident happened. Every answer creates a new contradiction. Charlotte remembers fragments of a red car parked outside the backyard fence on the day her son nearly died. Her daughter admits seeing someone near the property that afternoon. Evan claims police found nothing. Yet pieces of deleted footage continue surfacing through mysterious notifications sent directly to Charlotte's phone, each one suggesting the truth about the accident has been buried beneath months of manipulation, fear, and damaged memory. Inside the Mercer home, trust begins collapsing room by room. Evan no longer knows whether his wife is uncovering something real or spiraling deeper into paranoia. Charlotte cannot decide whether her husband has spent months trying to protect her or quietly building a case against her. Even the children begin questioning what they have seen and what they have been told. By the time the house itself starts responding to commands nobody entered, Charlotte realizes the danger may not come from a stranger outside their walls. It may come from someone who already knows every secret hidden inside them. As the surveillance tightens and the messages grow more specific, The Family Calendar turns into a portrait of a family trapped between trauma and deception, where memory becomes unreliable, technology becomes invasive, and every attempt to uncover the truth pushes Charlotte closer to the possibility that the greatest threat to her children might be herself.

Everyone knows the story of Rapunzel in the tower, but do you know the tale of the witch who put her there? Enter a world of dark magic, mysterious woods and evil princes. This is the truth they never wanted you to know, as only a witch might tell it. With her strange black eyes and even stranger fainting spells, Haelewise is shunned by her village, and her only solace lies in the stories her mother tells of child-stealing witches, of princes in wolf-skins, of an ancient tower cloaked in mist where women will find shelter if they are brave enough to seek it. But when her mother dies, Haelewise is left unmoored. With nothing left for her in her village, she sets out to find the tower of legend-a place called Gothel, where Haelewise meets a wise woman willing to take her under her wing. But Haelewise is not the only woman to seek refuge at Gothel. It's also a haven for a girl named Rika, who carries with her a secret the Church strives to keep hidden. A secret that reveals a dark world of ancient spells and murderous nobles behind the world Haelewise has always known. The Book of Gothel is a lush, enchanting retelling of the tale of Rapunzel from the witch's perspective, perfect for fans of Circe and The Bear and the Nightingale.
