  Shards Of Heaven: Prophecies Of...

  A throne of bone. Angels with broken wings. A prophecy that demands blood. 
  The night Callie's mother is murdered on a London street, her world ends. But grief is only the beginning. A single feather, blackened and still warm, draws her into a conspiracy older than Christianity itself — a war fought in whispers, relics, and catacombs that breathe. 
  Callie is no chosen hero. She's a girl who lost everything. But when her search for answers uncovers forbidden manuscripts, cults who wield obsidian blades, and a throne where something chained and decaying still whispers her name, she can't turn back. Every secret she uncovers costs her more — her blood, her sanity, even her memories. 
  Together with Max, the loyal friend who hides his fear behind sarcasm, and Emmy, the brilliant hacker who trusts logic more than faith, Callie follows the trail from London streets to Glastonbury ruins, Vatican archives, and French catacombs steeped in centuries of death. At every step, the prophecy tightens its grip: 
  Blood will open the first gate. 
  Bone will open the second. 
  Flesh shall be the third. 
  And the tongue of unmaking will speak the fourth. 
  Piece by piece, the gates demand sacrifice. Piece by piece, Callie is becoming something less than human. And when the Fifth Awakening comes, she may be the only one left who can decide whether the world burns — or kneels. 
  Shards of Heaven is a haunting dark fantasy thriller that blends myth, horror, and conspiracy into an epic tale of sacrifice and obsession. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, Neil Gaiman's American Gods, and readers of gothic fantasy who like their angels sharp, broken, and hungry.

  The Village in the Mountains

  THE VILLAGE IN THE MOUNTAINS is set in a fictional, southern European country in the middle of the twentieth century. After a brief period of democratic reform, the nation has once again become a totalitarian state under the rule of the Colonel, whose overriding creed is "Loyalty to the State, the Church, the Family". The narrator of the book is a left-wing poet from a prominent family, whose personal story is intertwined with the political events of his birthplace. During the days of the old dictatorship he lived abroad as a fêted émigré. During the interim period of democratic reform he returned to the country. Now that the New Régime has become established, he is sent to live as an exile to the mountains in the northeast. The village he is exiled to, Cagot—an isolated, primitive place high up in the border country—has a tragic history. Eight years earlier, four hundred pilgrims, paying homage to the statue of the Dark Virgin, were buried alive when the cave, housing the statue, collapsed. It is against this mountainous backdrop that a psychological drama is played out between the poet and the people with whom he comes into contact. There is Bernard, the manipulative, chess-playing Police Chief, to whom the poet must report every day; Isabella, the religiose brooding widow, who provides his meals in the ramshackle hotel where he is the only guest; Angela, the wife of the innkeeper; Henry, the schoolteacher; and Hubert Duval, the local aristocrat. It is Hubert who organises a fresh expedition to the cave of the Dark Virgin to see if, with the modern equipment now available, he can find a way to retrieve the bodies and provide them with a proper burial.  The journey to the cave and the ensuing events compel the poet to make a decision which will change his life forever. THE AUTHOR was born and brought up in the English Midlands and spent most of his working life in Asia. As well as writing, he is interested in natural history and photography.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.
