<p><b>Diana Bishop journeys to the darkest places within herself - and her family history - in the highly anticipated fifth novel of the beloved Number One <i>Sunday Times </i>bestselling All Souls series.</b><br/><br/>Deborah Harkness first introduced the world to Diana Bishop, Oxford scholar and witch, and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clairmont in <i>A</i> <i>Discovery of Witches</i>.

Concerned with their safety and desperate to avoid the same fate that led her parents to spellbind her, Diana decides to forge a different path for her family's future and answers a message from a great-aunt she never knew existed, Gwyneth Proctor, whose invitation simply reads: <i>It's time you came home, Diana</i>.<br/><br/>On the hallowed ground of Ravenswood, the Proctor family home, and under the tutelage of Gwyneth, a talented witch grounded in higher magic, a new era begins for Diana: a confrontation with her family's dark past, and a reckoning for her own desire for even greater power - if she can let go, finally, of her fear of wielding it.</p>

<p><b>In this riveting and immersive biography, acclaimed author Mary Gabriel details the meteoric rise and enduring influence of </b><b>perhaps the greatest pop icon of the modern era: Madonna.</b><br/><br/>With her arrival on the pop music scene in the early 1980s, Madonna generated nothing short of an explosion - as great as that of Elvis or the Beatles or Michael Jackson - <b>taking the world by storm with her liberated politics and breath-taking talent.</b> Within two years of her 1983 debut album, a shopping mall in California was nicknamed "The Madonna Mall" because it was overrun with "Material Girls". Later that year, the flagship Macy's store in Manhattan held a Madonna lookalike contest with Andy Warhol as judge, and opened a department called "Madonna-land".<br/><br/>Everywhere, women and men gravitated to the singer and actor as an emblem of a new age, one in which the <b>women's liberation</b> could shed the buttoned-down demeanour and reserved seriousness of the '60s and '70s and continue to make tremendous strides for a new generation. Topping charts again and again with provocative, visionary music and videos, <b>Madonna brought queer and sexually-curious identities into the mainstream</b>, fiercely defending a person's right to love whomever, and the space to be who they wanted.<br/><br/>Now, after almost <b>45 years in the spotlight, and in her 65th year</b>, no stranger to controversy, Madonna stands as one of the staunchest supporters of women's and LGBTQ+ rights and continues to represent a lionized emblem of liberation throughout the world.<br/><br/>Deftly tracing the artist's life and influence from her Michigan roots through to her sold out concerts around the globe, master biographer Mary Gabriel captures the <b>inspiration, fame, and activism</b> of one of the greatest music icons of our time.</p>
