  A Discovery of Witches is a spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and forbidden love that will transport listeners into a world where witches, vampires, and daemons exist—and where ancient secrets hold the power to change the world. Diana Bishop, a historian and a reluctant witch, stumbles upon a long-lost manuscript, Ashmole 782, in the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. This discovery sets off a dangerous chain of events, drawing the attention of supernatural beings who covet the manuscript’s powerful knowledge.
   
  As Diana is thrust into a world she has spent her life avoiding, she meets Matthew Clairmont, a centuries-old vampire and a brilliant scientist. Together, they begin to unravel the mysteries surrounding the manuscript, but their growing attraction to each other is fraught with danger. Their relationship threatens to disrupt the fragile balance between witches, vampires, and daemons, all of whom are determined to get their hands on the book’s secrets.
   
  As Diana and Matthew’s investigation deepens, they must confront ancient rivalries, dark forces, and their own complicated feelings. With supernatural factions closing in and the clock ticking, Diana must come to terms with her own magical abilities and decide what price she is willing to pay to protect the people she loves—and the world that depends on the manuscript’s hidden truths.

  Megan and Kit met in their early twenties. Their friendship was intense, wild and true.  
  Years later, when Kit becomes desperately unwell, Megan tries to pull her old friend back from the precipice, navigating the difficulties of revisiting a relationship conceived in the great freedom of youth, whilst attempting to remain fully present in the messy beauty of her family life.  
  Kit is a story of the sumptuous complication – and precariousness – of life and relationships. It describes a call to intimacy in a state of emergency. It is a story of one life disrupted as another moves toward its end.  
  Told in a spare, winding prose-poem, with a voice reminiscent of Max Porter or Kae Tempest, Kit is a splintered, powerful work of empathy, friendship and unconditional love.

  Drowning in a series of sudden losses, Allie abruptly left her blossoming opera career to, instead, explore sound meditation. Choosing a singing bowl over an orchestra, she reveled in the pure, simple harmonics that temporarily quieted the raging characters in her mind. Babaji, her teacher, called this Sunyata, emptiness, and she dove into her studies, longing to be free from the emotional monsoon that threatened to engulf her. 
  Fast forward six years, Babaji invites Allie to join him and several others in Nepal for the pilgrimage of a lifetime. Envisioning a meditative journey surrounded by the serene, majestic mountains, Allie travels to Nepal hoping to find peace, but the challenges of rising egos, monsoon rains, shamanic rituals, floods, and magic combine to threaten her very existence. Struggling with blurred lines of reality, magic, and the tormenting shadows buried deep within her, Allie’s healing journey grows from blinding grief to peace, bullying to strength, and opera to sunyata. Based on a true story.

  A dead cop. A damaged detective. A copycat killer on the loose. 
   
  When the chief suspect in the notorious Peek-a-boo cop killer case blew himself up, almost taking lead investigator DCI Duncan Bone with him, the psychologically damaged detective thought his days on the force were over. But when another PC is abducted and murdered in the same deranged Peek-a-boo fashion, Bone is persuaded to return to lead the new investigation. But as Bone and his team hunt a copycat killer, and with time running out before yet another cop is slain, Bone’s terrifying past returns to tear open old wounds and push him to very edge of the abyss. 
   
  Can DCI Bone end the killing before the killing ends him? 
   
  Set among the dramatic hills and glens of Scotland's Campsie Fells, Dark is the Grave is the first in a series of edge-of-your-seat crime thrillers that will keep you guessing right up to the nail-biting, heart-stopping climax. 
   
  Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, J.D. Kirk, Val McDermid and Stuart MacBride.

  To escape a curse, I married four cocky Fae kings. 
   
   
   
  The arrogant sea king who would pursue me to the ends of the world. The brothers of autumn, who have loved me, and hated me, and can't quite make their minds where they fall now. The winter king, who betrayed me to save his own court. 
   
   
   
  The five of us are bound together, even if we're not sure now if we're enemies or lovers or both. My father, the High King of all four kingdoms, is still alive—and he'll stop at nothing to make sure I die instead of reclaiming my throne. 
   
   
   
  But I'm the rebel queen, and at my side are four impossible Fae knights. If I can get them all to stop trying to knock each other senseless, we can rule the four Kingdoms—and save them. 
   
   
   
  And if we can't, we'll die. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
