Legion of the Occult - A...

Roberto Genovesi

Unstoppable and lethal, they move across the battlefields like ghosts. They are the soldiers of the Legio Occulta. 
 
Nola, Roman Italy, 19 August 14 A.D. 
 
History does not acknowledge them, but the Roman Empire knows the debt they owe to this secret legion. Trained not to fight but to read and interpret the messages of the gods, they pave the way for Roman swords, intervening when earthly weapons must give way to the power of the transcendent. With the Legio Occulta, no battle is impossible. 
 
Clad in snow-white armour and tunics as black as night, they are seers, fortune-tellers, necromancers and haruspies selected when they were children from arenas, slave markets and burning villages. Led by a general who speaks only in sign language, their motto is Vigiles in tenebris: watchers of the night. 
 
Iron blades clash with magic. Rome will never be the same. 
 
Praise for Roberto Genovesi: 
 
'Roberto Genovesi is the Italian master of historical fantasy' ANDREA FREDIANI. 
 
'A very original, wide-ranging novel full of characters, full of descriptions and narrative inventions' IL GIORNALE. 
 
'A compelling historical novel with splashes of fantasy' IL SOLE 24 ORE.

The Fifth Britain - Modern...

Charlotte E. English

Cast away from the Society (sort of) and out on our own, we've got a big problem on our hands - and an exciting prospect, too.
 
They call it time travel on TV.
 
Is this the big, fat secret the Hidden Ministry's been keeping? What's the real truth behind that wandering tower?
 
Answers must be found — in the face of severe opposition from the Ministry, from Ancestria Magicka, and from every Fae Court in existence. Simple.
 
If only everything wouldn’t keep going wrong. If only a house hadn’t walked off with Jay. If only there wasn’t still a traitor on the loose, and if only Ancestria Magicka wasn’t always up to no good. 
 
With our trusty trio down to two, Zareen and I are going to need some help. Handsome, aristocratic, troll-shaped help, to be precise.
 
Our mission: track down a vanishing island, save the Striding Spire, and find the way back to 1789.
 
Oh — and find out what exactly has become of Jay...?
