Summary

The first of a unique trilogy, Rise of the Last Pendragon ensnares readers aged twelve to late adulthood. It follows a fascinating twelve-year-old girl from Liverpool, developing to her mid-teens, discovering supernatural powers for the wars to come. Real life meets fantasy, as a horrific outcome looms amidst plots delivering mythical creatures of every sort, twists, mystery, and an enthralling, heart-warming performance from Matilda.	In 2021, Matilda meets a Dragon in the Dark Forest, bound to her by an ancient prophecy, telling of her destiny to be the Lioness, rightful Queen of Camelot. Catapulted into a world of hidden realms, Matilda embarks on a thrilling voyage of discovery, spiralling through a web of death, crime, violence, and gut-wrenching emotion. Empowering, heroic, relentless, Matilda’s magnetic, impetuous character bodes well for adventure. If anyone, who does she trust? A tear-jerking finish leaves more questions than answers, but all will be revealed in the next instalment.

    The start of a new historical 4-part series from MJ Porter focusing on events around the great battle of Brunanburh 
    ** In the battle for power, there can be only one ruler.** 
    AD925 Athelstan is the king of the English, uniting the petty kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, the Danish-held Five Boroughs and York following the sudden death of his father, King Edward. 
    His vision is to unite the realms of the Scots and the Welsh in a peace accord that will protect their borders from the marauding threat of the Norse Vikings. 
    Whilst seemingly craving peace and demanding loyalty with an imperium over every kingdom, Athelstan could dream of a much bigger prize. 
    But danger and betrayal surround his best intentions, namely from his overlooked stepbrother, Edwin, who conspires and vies for what he deems is his rightful place as England's king. 
    As ever, powerful men who wish to rule do not wish to be ruled, and Constantin of the Scots, Owain of Strathclyde, and Ealdred of Bamburgh plot their revenge against the upstart English king, using any means necessary. 
    An epic story of kingsmanship that will set in motion the pivotal, bloody Battle of Brunanburh where allies have to be chosen wisely...  Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy and Peter Gibbons

    The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
