Synopsis

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.

    I can see everyone's future but my own. 
     
     
     
    I've lived most of my life as a recluse because leaving my house means being bombarded with visions of the possible futures that exist with every step I take. If that person crosses the road here, they live, but if they go to the traffic lights at the corner, they'll get hit by someone running the red. 
     
     
     
    It's a curse, and one I do my best to hide from until I'm dragged on a mission to rescue my sister. Not that my assassin sibling needs my help. 
     
     
     
    What I don't expect is to be hit by a wave of power that throws my ability into overdrive—and threatens my sanity. 
     
     
     
    Rather than drag my sisters into my nightmare, I enlist the aid of a professor specializing in arcane history. A man I could easily love, but I already know how that ends—with him dying at my feet. 
     
     
     
    There has to be a way to change the future, but what if my choices bring about the apocalypse? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Josiah’s sons Jehoahaz and Jehoiakim rule after him?, and Judah enters moral free fall.

    Terror on Every Side! – The series 
    The words of God came to Jeremiah as a fire, burning within him, and with them, his lifetime mission – a prophet to the nations. 
    Jeremiah was a prophet of God for over 40 years, warning of judgement on the nation of Judah and all the nations around.  Few would listen at all, and fewer still would take him seriously.  Jeremiah lived to see the prophecies of destruction come true.  No-one would believe his words until it was too late – and then there was Terror on Every Side!

    Dear Public, This account of a hospital visit on space station Hoch in 2188 reached me on the evening of June 24, 2018. The transmission began while I removed winter decorations from my living room when an oscillating noise caught my attention. This was not one of my perimeter alarms, I knew, as the sound had a calm, unhurried quality to it—attracting, not disquieting. I soon located the source and received the signal through my dousing rod. Find the complete report in the attached audio file.

    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.

    Finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor 
    “Ms. Demeanor is a complete and utter delight. Of course it is. What Elinor Lipman novel isn’t?”—Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and Chances Are . . . 
    “Who knew house arrest could be sexy and fun? Not me, at least not until I read Ms. Demeanor. Written with Elinor Lipman’s signature wit and charm, this breezy, engrossing novel tells the story of two people who make the most of their shared confinement.”—Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of Tracy Flick Can’t Win 
    “When a neighbor’s complaint about consensual al fresco sex turns into house arrest and a suspended legal license, Jane’s recipe for survival involves cooking for another home-arrested tenant (could this be a match made in confinement?) while trying to figure out the whys and hows of her mysterious accuser. Filled with food, family, romance and intrigue, Lipman’s novel cooks up a bounty of delights as sparkling as prosecco and as deeply satisfying and delicious as a five-star meal.”—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of With or Without You  
    From one of America’s most beloved contemporary novelists, a delicious and witty story about love under house arrest 
    Jane Morgan is a valued member of her law firm—or was, until a prudish neighbor, binoculars poised, observes her having sex on the roof of her NYC apartment building.  Police are summoned, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement. With Jane now jobless and rootless, trapped at home, life looks bleak. Yes, her twin sister provides support and advice, but mostly of the unwelcome kind. When a doorman lets slip that Jane isn't the only resident wearing an ankle monitor, she strikes up a friendship with fellow white-collar felon Perry Salisbury. As she tries to adapt to life within her apartment walls, she discovers she hasn’t heard the end of that tattletale neighbor—whose past isn’t as decorous as her 9-1-1 snitching would suggest. Why are police knocking on Jane’s door again? Can her house arrest have a silver lining? Can two wrongs make a right? In the hands of ""an inspired alchemist who converts serious subject into humor” (New York Times Book Review)—yes, delightfully.
