  The Emperor of Perinthia rules with an iron fist. Young boys are torn from their families at just ten years old, forced into military conscription. Soldiers are forbidden from marrying, while only the Emperor's loyal officers and nobility are permitted wives. Beliefs outside the greatness of the throne have been brutally crushed - temples burned, devotees killed or enslaved. Yet a glimmer of hope persists in secret. 
  Roshin grew up an orphan on the docks of the southern port city of Ancalah. Taken in by a sister of the faith of Hulen Ahir, she was trained in the healing arts, as well as the forbidden truths of the old religion. Traveling the country as a healer, Roshin has witnessed the Empire's oppressive degradation of the social order. But the reality hits home when she and her companions are seized and sold into bondage. 
  With her world consumed by darkness, Roshin clings to the faith's prophecy - that light will come on the back of a dragon, when a destined rider rises again to crush the Empire's tyranny. And now, it seems that rider has arrived.

  What separates man from beast? The answer lies in the blood-soaked laboratory of a mad genius.
  
  Shipwrecked and alone, Edward Prendick is cast ashore on a remote Pacific island only to discover a terrifying secret. He finds himself under the care of the infamous Doctor Moreau, a brilliant but disgraced physiologist who has abandoned civilization to pursue his gruesome experiments. H. G. Wells, the pioneer of modern science fiction, plunges you into a dark, visceral tale where Moreau's scalpel has done the unthinkable: creating hideous, suffering Beast Folk from animals.
  
  Feel the horror and the deep unease as Prendick navigates a world governed by the chilling "Law"—a tenuous thread holding the primal chaos at bay. This intense, philosophical thriller is a masterpiece of early body horror, exploring profound themes of vivisection, ethics, and the savage nature lurking beneath humanity's thin veneer. It is a thrilling, unsettling, and unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness.
  
  A towering achievement in the H. G. Wells collection and a relentless look at scientific hubris, this book is essential reading for fans of dark literature and speculative fiction.

  The most celebrated detective in lesbian literature returns in the most fateful case of her career . . . 
   
   
   
  Four years retired, Kate Delafield has a twenty-year-old case roaring back on her, a case from which she had recoiled, withdrawn herself. A homophobic homicide far too reminiscent of a recent, haunting, life-changing investigation of the murder of a young lesbian at the Nightwood Bar. Now she suffers in secret, knowing she is personally culpable for the mishandling of evidence. 
   
   
   
  The key decisions about the conduct of her life and her police career that have brought her directly to this time, this place in the high desert where she has taken herself. All she can do now, she resolves, is protect as best she can the people she loves most, especially Aimee, from this threat. And, until her time runs out, she can go back and investigate, determine who actually ended the life of fifteen-year-old April Shuster. 
   
   
   
  But events, people, intervene. New people in her present life, some from her past. And they will take her in the most unexpected of directions.

  Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
  BOOK 8: THE WICKED POOR MAN: Summer passed, then the autumn; winter came. Neither M. Leblanc nor the young girl had again set foot in the Luxembourg garden. Thenceforth, Marius had but one thought,-to gaze once more on that sweet and adorable face.

  No Worries If Not!: A relatable...

  One little word. One bad habit. One year to stop saying sorry. 
  What happens when one woman resolves to ‘break up’ with saying sorry? 
  Charlotte Thomas is polite. Manners cost nothing, her mother always said … yet there’s a fine line between diplomat and doormat. 
  But every woman has their breaking point and Charlotte has just found hers. It wasn’t because she said sorry to her boss for challenging his terrible idea for a staff social, or because she apologised to the drunk girl who spilled espresso martini all over her favourite top. And it wasn’t because she agreed to go on a second date with the world’s most boring man to avoid hurting his feelings. Maybe it was all of these, or maybe it was when she realised she ended every email with the fateful words: No Worries If Not. 
  With the help of her best friend and housemate Mush, Charlotte declares she’s apologising no more. No more saying sorry for just doing her job, or speaking her mind or simply taking up space. 
  So when she finds her space being invaded by a manspreader on the Metro, Charlotte lets rip. When she’s finished shouting about why he’s the rudest man she’s ever met, she realises, annoyingly, that not only is he the best looking man she’s ever had the misfortune to sit next to … he’s actually really nice about it all too. 
  With her unapologetic pledge off to a tricky start, will Charlotte be, dare she say it … sorry she even started this? 
  In this humorous fiction, Charlotte's journey of self-discovery is filled with relatable moments of navigating relationships, friendships, and family dynamics. Her unapologetic stance on men and their manners, or lack thereof, adds a layer of comedic relief to the narrative. 
  For fans of Meghan Quinn (He's Not My Type), Aurora Ascher (Demon With Benefits), Elsie Silver (Flawless), Ana Huang (King of Greed), and Irvine Welsh (Men in Love).
