  In the nightforged realms of Umbravale, where shadow weavers pact obsidian dragons from ebony voids and eclipse riders mount flights through eternal dusk, weaver Sylas pacts a shadow flight with rider Eira, their bond shadowed by dragons that feast on light. The flight, forged in wing vows and eclipse-kissed scales, soars the realms—or plummets into devoured abysses. As they glide fractured citadels and dusk-veiled chasms, shadowed by dragon lords and light thieves, Sylas's weaving darkness fuses with Eira's riding swiftness, unveiling a nightforged legend of shadowed soar. When a fractured scale summons dusk devouring swarms, they must pact the flight to eclipse the night. In the shadow of obsidian wings, where every wing beats the void and every bond defies the dark, their epic pact becomes the flight that rekindles the realms' lost dawn.

  A young Sikh footballer reaches out across the generational divide to help a lonely old man in an uplifting story from acclaimed author Bali Rai. 
  Bobby Bains loves football. He also loves helping other people. As a Sikh, it’s part of his religion. While helping his mum at the community food bank, Bobby meets an old man called Trevor, who seems lonely. 
  Bobby thinks Trevor would get on well with his nana-ji, his grandad. Both love football and reggae music. But Nana-ji and Trevor have dodgy old knees and can’t run like they used to. So, Bobby hatches a plan to get them playing. They could use the exercise and perhaps Trevor won’t feel so lonely any more. 
  Will Bobby’s plan work? It’s a big ask, but, after all, if you don’t shoot, you don’t score! 
  Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
  Bobby's faith and love for sports, especially football, are the driving forces behind his actions. His plan, though ambitious, is a testament to his juvenile spirit and his understanding of the social themes that surround him. 
  For fans of Helen Holwill (Penguin Readers Level 7), R. J. Palacio (White Bird), T.Z. Layton (The Academy), Marta Kissi (The Friend Dilemma), and Hiba Noor Khan (How To Spaghettify Your Dog).

  Desert Chrome - Water a Woman...

   “A raw and honest journey of addiction, love, trauma, and redemption—grounded in a deep love of place and all things mustang. The best memoirs reveal the deeply personal in order to see the larger world with renewed clarity and insight—this is one such book. As Wilder moves from heroin to horses, we see a substantive journey of recovery and strength—and ultimately, of resilience.” —LAURA PRITCHETT, author of Stars Go Blue 
  “For too long, the lone cowboy myth has corralled the Ameri­can West in the barbed wires of dominion and destruction. Tan­gled in that telling are women and mustangs—their wildness, togetherness, and vulnerability. In Desert Chrome, Wilder bucks against a story as desiccated as the deserts she has dwelled in—kicking hard enough to free what was bound, to redeem what was broken. Listen now, to the thundering of hearts and hooves. They’re coming for us, at last.” —AMY IRVINE, author of Air Mail and Desert Cabal 
  “Desert Chrome journeys through parched valleys, on wild rivers, and into deep rock canyons on a unique quest. In this authentic, hard-won account of her life, Wilder finds the warm, true hearts she’s been seeking and that deserve our humanity, healing, and a hell of a lot better future than they’ve been dealt. There’s a quiet heroine at the center of this story, yes, pointing toward a beauti­ful world. It can be ours if we’ll love better, lean closer, and listen to the voices, like Wilder’s own, well worth heeding from birth.” —REBECCA LAWTON, author of The Oasis This Time 
  “A powerful coming-of-age story, into the age of a woman’s strongest power, when, with complete awareness of her past, she can, with might and strength, will the future before her. Wilder writes with all the love, wisdom, and courage it takes to make positive changes for the western landscape, horses, and readers.” —CMARIE FUHRMAN, author of Camped Beneath the Dam
