Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King, is back with an epic YA tale of ambition and love in The Shadows Between Us... "They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will." Alessandra is tired of being overlooked, but she has a plan to gain power: 1) Woo the Shadow King. 2) Marry him. 3) Kill him and take his kingdom for herself. No one knows the extent of the freshly crowned Shadow King's power. Some say he can command the shadows that swirl around him to do his bidding. Others say they speak to him, whispering the thoughts of his enemies. Regardless, Alessandra knows what she deserves, and she's going to do everything within her power to get it. But Alessandra's not the only one trying to kill the king. As attempts on his life are made, she finds herself trying to keep him alive long enough for him to make her his queen-all while struggling not to lose her heart. After all, who better for a Shadow King than a cunning, villainous queen? "Tricia Levenseller's latest, The Shadows Between Us, is a decadent and wickedly addictive fantasy, full of schemes and court intrigue, and delightful descriptions of food, which I am always a fan of." -Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series

The fourth instalment in the thrilling romantasy series about king's Blade, Keera, and her epic quest to avenge her lover, save her people and bring down a tyrant king. 'Your land is not the one you take; it is the one you die for.' Keera has tried to keep her final promise to the friend she was forced to kill to save a kingdom - but that promise has led to the most difficult struggles of her life. She's been at war with her worst self while battling King Damien for the freedom of the Halflings, and she's lost too many along the way. But when she finally breaks the last seal, unleashing the Fae magic that's been hidden away for hundreds of years, the conflict seems to be turning in the Halflings' favour. Meanwhile, Keera's discovery of a staggering secret about her lover and the kidnapping of one of her closest allies threatens to tip her back into darkness, but she has no time to rest. Opening the kingdom's magical seals has transformed Keera in ways even the wisest Fae elders could not have anticipated, and the return of an evil thought long vanquished throws their rescue plans into chaos. And with the kingdom's Halfling population suddenly posing a risk to the crown, the land is plunged into violence as the king begins a new blood purge. Keera and her allies must gather an army to meet Damien's forces in a final confrontation of epic - and tragic - proportions. The stunning fourth book in BookTok sensation Melissa Blair's epically romantic series will leave readers breathless as Keera fights for her land, her people, and the promise of a better world.

Everyone sees him as a monster. Except her. Bellamy's brothers have been cursed for sixty years, stuck living as swans. She has only a short amount of time left to break the curse, or they'll be trapped forever. Luckily, she's finally discovered how. Unluckily, it involves traveling to the deadly shadow court and harvesting the thorny nettle weed that grows in the castle gardens, which Bellamy must use to knit sweaters. One sweater for each of her seven brothers-and she cannot utter a single word until the curse is broken. When the fearsome and mysterious shadow king catches her and offers safe haven, she doesn't know what to think. She's hated him her entire life for the atrocities he committed against her people. Yet there's something alluring beneath his shadowy exterior, and she finds herself drawn to him against all better judgment. But a bigger evil looms over her, one that doesn't want this curse broken. One that's not just a threat to Bellamy, but to the entire world. And she may be the only one who can stop it. Beasts of Briar is the final book in Stolen Crowns, a series of steamy standalone but interconnected fairytale retellings. This Wild Swan meets Beauty and the Beast retelling is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, shadow daddies, and slow-burn fantasy romance.

The BRAND NEW utterly gripping, unputdownable novel from Richard and Judy NUMBER ONE bestseller Louise Douglas 1864, Bristol, England The seamstress is found in the darkened docks, floating, silenced. Those who found her are sure it must be a tragic accident, probably the result of too many drinks in a nearby public house. But journalist Nelly Brooks recognises the dead woman immediately - Nelly has her emerald shawl in her bag. Because they had met just one day before, when the seamstress had begged Nelly to investigate the death of the woman who'd given her that same shawl - a wealthy man's wife. Nelly had tried to insist that her job at the newspaper is only meant to be writing about the best ways to darn a sock or to decorate a drawing room. She's not meant to actually investigate anything. That's a job for a man. But the seamstress trusted her, and Nelly knows she must find out the truth. Even though her investigation will bring her up against the great and the good of the city; with connections that go as high as the crown. And she will have nothing but her wits to ensure she does not become a murderous man's next victim... Bestselling author Louise Douglas returns with darkly gothic historical novel of love, murder, madness and secrets, perfect for fans of Fiona Valpy, Lucinda Riley and Jane Eyre. Praise for Louise Douglas: 'A master of her craft, Louise Douglas ratchets up the tension in this haunting and exquisitely written tale of buried secrets and past tragedy.' Amanda Jennings 'Beautifully written, chillingly atmospheric and utterly compelling, The Secret by the Lake is Louise Douglas at her brilliant best' Tammy Cohen 'Louise Douglas achieves the impossible and gets better with every book.' Milly Johnson 'I love the way in which Louise creates such an atmospheric mystery, building the intrigue and suspense brick by brick.' Nicola Cornick 'I loved The Lost Notebook so much! From the opening lines, I was drawn into a gripping story, beautifully written and so cleverly orchestrated. I rooted for the main character, I held my breath at the denouement and as for the climax of the book - just wow. Highly recommended.' Judy Leigh 'A brilliantly written, gripping, clever, compelling story, that I struggled to put down. The vivid descriptions, the evocative plot and the intrigue that Louise created, which had me constantly asking questions, made it a highly enjoyable, absolute treasure of a read.' Kim Nash on The Scarlet Dress 'A tender, heart-breaking, page-turning read.' Rachel Hore on The House by the Sea

Daphne never meant to want him - the monster who could destroy her . . . and the only one who never would. Now they're both caught between Their duties and their love. Daphne Verus never planned to compete for the prince. Now she's expected to trade the safety of her village for the caves beneath the mountain and be trained by Kronos Seneca - a basilisk who could overpower her, bite her, turn her to stone . . . but who also sees her better than anyone ever has and wants her despite himself. The only rule between them is the one she sets: no sex. She's spent her whole life giving herself to men who didn't deserve it. Kronos is a monster by nature. But he honors her word when no one else ever has, and that is the most dangerous thing about him. Because if Daphne lets herself feel, she might discover she's capable of love after all.

In a kingdom where flames hold magic and the desert hides secrets, an ancient prophecy comes for an assassin, a princess, and a king. But none are ready to face destiny-and the choices they make could burn the world. "If we carry the burdens of our fathers, we'll never know what it means to be free." For Elena Aadya Ravence, fire is yearning. She longs to feel worthy of her Phoenix god, of her ancestors who transformed the barren dunes of Sayon into a thriving kingdom. But though she knows the ways and wiles of the desert better than she knows her own skin, the secrets of the Eternal Flame elude her. And without them, she'll never be accepted as queen. For Leo Malhari Ravence, fire is control. He is not ready to give up his crown-there's still too much work to be done to ensure his legacy remains untarnished, his family protected. But power comes with a price, and he'll wage war with the heavens themselves to keep from paying it. For Yassen Knight, fire is redemption. He dreams of shedding his past as one of Sayon's most deadly assassins, of laying to rest the ghosts of those he has lost. If joining the court of flame and serving the royal Ravence family-the very people he once swore to eliminate-will earn him that, he'll do it no matter what they ask of him. But the Phoenix watches over all and the fire has a will of its own. It will come for all three, will come for Sayon itself....and they must either find a way to withstand the blaze or burn to ash. The first in an action-packed debut epic fantasy trilogy, The Phoenix King is "a captivating adventure from a gifted new voice" (Peter V. Brett). 'The kind of book you sit down with to read one chapter and end up spending the whole day on. Come for the science fantasy worldbuilding and stay for the characters you just can't get out of your head' Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi 'Vast and fascinating . . . A satisfying slow-burn romance only enhances the political machinations. This exciting fantasy promises good things from the series to come' Publishers Weekly 'Verma seamlessly blends fantasy with sci-fi . . . A highly recommended read' Fantasy Hive

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER GOOD MORNING AMERICA YOUNG ADULT BOOK CLUB PICK A new generation of characters takes center stage in the start of a ruthless and romantic fantasy saga set in the same world as the unforgettable An Ember in the Ashes series. "A tour de force of fantasy that will leave readers breathless and boneless and aching for more." -Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon A Broken Heart An orphan. An outcast. A prince. And a killer who will bring an empire to its knees. Growing up in the Kegari slums, AIZ has seen her share of suffering. An old tragedy fuels her need for vengeance, but it is love of her people that propels her. Until one hotheaded mistake lands her in an inescapable prison, where the embers of her wrath ignite. Banished from her people for an unforgivable crime, SIRSHA is a down-on-her-luck tracker who uses magic to trace her marks. Destitute, she agrees to hunt down a killer who has murdered children across the Martial Empire. All she has to do is carry out the job and get paid. But when a chance encounter leads to an unexpected attraction, Sirsha learns her mission might cost her far more than she's willing to give up. QUIL is the crown prince of the Empire and nephew of a venerated empress, but he's loath to take the throne when his aunt steps down. As the son of a reviled emperor, he, better than anyone, understands that power corrupts. When a vicious new enemy threatens the survival of the Empire, Quil must ask himself if he can rise above his tragic lineage and be the heir his people need. Beloved storyteller Sabaa Tahir interweaves the lives of three young people as they grapple with power, treachery, love, and the devastating consequences of unchecked greed, on a journey that may cost them their lives-and their hearts. Literally.

'ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FANTASY SERIES' GEORGE R. R. MARTIN 'GROUND-BREAKING' PATRICK ROTHFUSS 'TAD WILLIAMS IS A MASTER STORYTELLER' BRANDON SANDERSON 'AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY LIBRARY' CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI "But remember this lesson, Simon, one fit for kings. . .or the sons of kings. Nothing is without cost. There is a price to all power, and it is not always obvious." Kitchen-boy Simon is bored and restless - a dangerous combination. It seems, however, that his life has just taken a turn for the better when he's apprenticed to his castle's resident wizard. As Simon's learning to read and write under Doctor Morgenes' tutelage, forces greater than he could possibly imagine are gathering. Forces which will change Simon's life and his world forever. A war fuelled by the powers of dark sorcery is about to engulf the peaceful land of Osten Ard. With the death of Prester John, the High King, the land is thrown into turmoil. Into this chaos the Storm King, the undead ruler of the elf-like Sithi, seizes the chance to regain his lost realm through a pact with the newly ascended king. Knowing the consequences of this bargain, the king's younger brother joins with a small, scattered group of scholars, the League of the Scroll, to confront the danger threatening Osten Ard. As darkness descends, Simon is forced to flee the only home he has ever known, a journey which will test him beyond his worst nightmares. With The Dragonbone Chair, Tad Williams introduced readers to the incredible fantasy world of Osten Ard and kicked off the beloved, internationally bestselling series Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. READERS LOVE TAD WILLIAMS 'This series was a direct inspiration for A Song Of Ice And Fire (indeed, two characters are even referenced in passing in that series), and in all honesty, Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is infinitely superior.' 'A thoroughly well written and enjoyable first instalment in what promises to be a classic tale of sword and sorcery.' 'Brilliant, a writer who always delivers. Outstanding, the very best in his class!' 'A great first instalment in a superb series [. . .] Highly recommended to those who love the likes of Raymond E. Feist, George R.R Martin and Ursula Le Guin.' 'No one like Tad Williams for me. Gripping from start to finish. Epic.' 'This is classic fantasy at its very best.' 'I don't know how this book evaded me for so long but Usires be praised it was an excellent read. A slow burn for the first half and then an utter thrill fest until the very last sentence.

The classic and definitive monograph on iconic architect Mies van der Rohe This is the most readable, comprehensive, and beautiful book ever published on one of the twentieth century’s most influential architects, now available with a stunning new cover. Known for the beauty and purity of his work, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe built remarkable houses, skyscrapers, museums, and multibuilding campuses. Accompanied by more than 700 drawings, photographs, plans, and diagrams, Mertins’ rich and highly readable text traces the aesthetic and intellectual context for all of Mies van der Rohe’s work, with in-depth discussions of his most important buildings and projects. The clarity of Mies’s architecture belies the diversity of his interests, which included philosophy and science as well as design, and Mertin’s rigorous and accessible text gives the reader a clear description of all the most important of Mies’s buildings as well as the intellectual contexts for their design. Includes such buildings as: the Barcelona Pavilion in Spain; the Tugendhat House in Brno, Czech Republic; S. R. Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, USA; and the New National Gallery in Berlin, Germany. The classic and most definitive monograph on iconic architect Mies van der Rohe 'Puts Mies’s work back at the center of the architectural debate.' – Barry Bergdoll, Acting Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at MoMA 'A formidable commitment to understanding both the man and the work.' – John Pawson 'By providing a rich texture of details, Professor Mertins succeeds in making his book an enlightening and enjoyable journey for both serious students of architecture and design as well as those interested in learning more about the creative genius [Mies van der Rohe].' – Maurice D. Parrish, Executive Director of the Farnsworth House 'Do we need another book on the master of universal space, heir to the Platonic ideal, and pursuer of the perfectly understated environment? For those interested in the intellectual context of the work – in Mies as philosopher-architect – the answer is yes.' – Library Journal, Starred Review 'A hulking new monograph.' – The Wall Street Journal 'Designers and design buffs seeking to understand this giant better make room on their shelves for Mies.' – Interior Design 'If you’ve been coveting the definitive guide to one of the world’s most celebrated architects, this epic volume is worth the splurge.' – The New York Post '... A fascinating survey of the architect’s intellectual concerns: questions of the body and soul, technology and nature, and the individual and the community. Complemented by over 700 photographs, sketches, and architectural plans, this text ranks highly in the Mies van der Rohe corpus.' – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review 'There is no lack of writing on Mies van der Rohe... However, Detlef Mertin’s new book ought to make the list of the handful of exceptional, definitive volumes... Stunning photography, impeccable historical research and an obvious ear for philosophy comprise each of the six sections of its 528 pages, creating a book that is an extraordinary, beautiful intellectual journey and a rethinking of the function of the political in architecture.' – Identity 'A monumental monograph on the legendary architect sheds new light on the godfather of modernism.' – Metropolis 'What marks out Mertins’s study is its unremitting focus on the ideas that shaped Mies’s designs, and on how this son of an Aachen stonemason came to create a form of architecture that spoke a universal language and gave a defining three-dimensional form to a self-consciously modern era.' – Telegraph 'A new generation is discovering that Mies’s avocation of craft and quality are key to the architecture of simplicity. Stuffed full of photographs, plans, and archival material, [Mies] is the new benchmark.' – Wallpaper 'Mertins’ hefty and lavishly illustrated volume is ambitiously comprehensive... It challenges us to question al
