  In a world torn between loyalty and betrayal, love is the most dangerous secret of all. 
  Raven has always known pain—the kind that lingers in the shadows of memory and whispers of broken trust. When Declan enters her life, fierce and unyielding, their connection sparks a passion neither can deny. But desire comes at a cost. 
  As Raven is drawn deeper into a tangled web of lies, enemies, and forbidden love, she must decide who to trust—and what she’s willing to sacrifice. Her heart? Her freedom? Or the only man who sees her for who she truly is? 
  Raven: The Broken is a gripping blend of dark romance and suspense, where every choice is laced with consequences and every secret threatens to unravel everything.  
  Perfect for fans of heart-wrenching love stories, dangerous alliances, and characters who fight for redemption in the darkest of places.

  Rowie's pro-war, her sister Jo's a protester. And they're both in Vietnam.  
  The compelling new novel from the bestselling author of From the Ashes 
    
  In 1969, at the height of the Vietnam war, nurse Rowie Leonard is serving a 12-month tour of duty. She supports the war and is committed to caring for wounded New Zealand and Australian troops. After a few months, however, she realises that nothing at all about the conflict is as clear-cut as she'd assumed. 
  Her younger sister, Jo, is the opposite - a student at Auckland University, a folk singer and a fervent anti-war protestor. But when Jo falls for professional soldier Sam Apanui, home on leave to visit his ill father, she finds herself torn between her feelings and her convictions. 
  As the three of them grapple with love, loss, and the stresses and sorrows of war, each will be forced to confront and question everything they believed.

  The Confusions of Young Master...

  Robert Musil (1880-1942) is best known for his enduring masterpiece The Man Without Qualities, one of the great European works of the 20th century. It was with The Confusions of Young Master Törless first published in 1906, a challenging but very different work, that he signalled his extraordinary talent. As the nineteenth century draws to an end, young Torless is sent to a military boarding school for the sons of the nobility on the eastern outreaches of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Far from his comfortable, free-thinking bourgeois home and left to his own devices, he experiences the joy, pain and self-doubt of adolescence. He is confronted with desire and love, but also his own cruelty, as he finds himself participating in his fellow pupils' bullying campaigns. A dark Bildungsroman which shocked its readership at the time, Robert Musil's first novel is a fresco of psychoanalysis, philosophy, eroticism, snobbery, sado-masochism and schoolboy humour, a hothouse of alternately repressed and unchained desires that prefigure the carnage of both World Wars.
