The Vaster Wilds Bok
<p>A taut and electrifying novel from celebrated bestselling author Lauren Groff, about one spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive </p><p>"Lauren Groff just reinvented the adventure novel."-- Los Angeles Times </p><p>"Glorioussurroundings come alive in prose that lives and breathes upon the page." -- Boston Globe </p><p>"I know of few other writers whose sentences are so beautiful and so propulsive." -- New York Times Book Review </p><p>A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her.</p><p>Lauren Groff's new novel is at once a thrilling adventure story and a penetrating fable about trying to find a new way of living in a world succumbing to the churn of colonialism. The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask how-and if-we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves. </p>

The Enchanters Bok
<p>Los Angeles. August 4, 1962. The city broils through a mid-summer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker's looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash. The freewheeling Freddy O. Tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim "Opportunity is Love." Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe's death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe's horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he served to create - and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness. It's the Summer of '62, baby. Freddy O.'s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. The Rolling Stones proclaim it best: We're just a shout away. The Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama. It is an unparalleled thrill ride. It is resoundingly the great American crime novel.</p>

<p><b>Jilly Cooper is a true fan favourite:</b><br/><br/>'Entertaining, witty and a total escape!'<br/>'Unputdownable and addictive as always'<br/>'Rupert is back. Still gorgeous. Still naughty. Still wondrous'<br/>'A delightfully indulgent read . . . twists in the plot and, as always, a charming ending'<br/><br/><b>Jilly Cooper's legendary hero returns!</b><br/><br/>Rupert Campbell-Black, all-conquering racehorse owner-trainer and handsomest man in England, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy. His beloved leading stallion has been assassinated.<br/><br/>Now his daughter Bianca is badgering him to buy into a failing local football club, Searston Rovers, so he can sign up her superstar striker boyfriend, Feral Jackson, and he and Bianca can return home from Perth to look after Taggie.<br/>Rupert dislikes football and his first impressions of Searston are distinctly unfavourable. But as their new and indelibly competitive Chairman, he won't stand for anything less than an Everest climb to the top of the Premier League.<br/><br/>With the help of the club's ravishing and adorable secretary, Tember West, and his sassy Press Officer, Dora Belvedon, he becomes increasingly fond of his riotous mix of players, despite bawling them out whenever they face defeat.<br/><br/>Rupert's explosive arrival at Searston causes outrage, so the fights are as furious off the field as on - particularly when glamorous WAGS flood in to stir up trouble and lust after Rupert...<br/><br/><b>Nor do the rival local football team, their duplicitous chairman and their corrupt dealings make things easier - let the scandals, sabotage and seductions begin...</b><br/><br/>---------------------------------<br/><br/><b>Praise for Jilly Cooper: </b><br/>'Fun, sexy and unputdownable - a classic' Marian Keyes<br/>'A combination of drama, sex and good social comedy . . . unputdownable' <i>Sunday Times</i><br/>'Flawlessly entertaining' Helen Fielding<br/>'Jilly Cooper is the very best . . . elegant, glamorous, wonderful fun' <i>Daily Mail</i><br/>'Joyful and mischievous' Jojo Moyes</p>

A Fate Inked In Blood Bok
<p><b>A shield maiden blessed by the gods battles to unite a nation under a power-hungry king while also fighting her growing desire for his fiery son in this Norse-inspired fantasy romance from the bestselling author of The Bridge Kingdom series.</b></p><p>Bound in an unwanted marriage, Freya spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of becoming a warrior. And of putting an axe in her boorish husband s back. </p><p>Freya s dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region s jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess s blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack. It was foretold such a magic would unite the fractured nation of Skaland beneath the one who controls the shield maiden s fate. </p><p>Believing he s destined to rule Skaland as king, the fanatical jarl binds Freya with a blood oath and orders Bjorn to protect her from their enemies. Desperate to prove her strength, Freya must train to fight and learn to control her magic, all while facing perilous tests set by the gods. The greatest test of all, however, may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn. If Freya succumbs to her lust for the charming and fierce warrior, she risks not only her own destiny but the fate of all the people she swore to protect.</p>
