The wild is waiting... Esme is annoyed and braced for boredom when
she's sent to stay with her gran for the weekend, until she
discovers a terrible mistake. Cora, the abandoned kitten Gran found
on the Rothiecraig Estate, is in fact a wild lynx kit and she is
growing-fast! Suddenly, Esme find herself on a dangerous mission to
rewild Cora, along with Callum Docherty for company, the school's
'bad boy', and Shug, the worst guard dog in the world. The
situation takes a terrifying turn when the children pitch their
tents on a bleak Highland moor and hear wolves howling outside...
A Legend Reborn The world's most infamous hunter, Nikolas Rokoff,
is sent into the jungle to steal a rare prize from Tarzan's camp.
But Tarzan and his friends Jane and Robbie will stop at nothing to
track him down-crossing the wild rainforest and hostile African
savannah on a daring rescue mission. At the same time, Jane tries
to learn more about Tarzan's past, and must decide whether
reuniting him with his lost family is the right thing to do. And
Robbie is torn by a plan that would keep the secrets of his own
past safe, but might get rid of Tarzan for good. Lured to the city,
Tarzan is forced to confront his greatest enemy. But time is
running out-and no one can be trusted. "I fell in love with Edgar
Rice Burroughs' Tarzan when I was 11 years old, and was jealous
when he married that silly Jane. I would have been even more
jealous of the Jane in Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy. She is not
silly at all And what a stroke of brilliance to transform Tarzan
into an eco-warrior. The Lord of the Jungle is with us still."

Set in the same world as A Curse of Salt, a heartbreaking sapphic
romantasy inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. Pirates are tearing
Mersey's seaside city apart like wolves. A fifty-year-old treaty
lies in tatters, and Mersey wants nothing more than to return to
her life at sea, to make those pirates pay and keep her people
safe, but a deal with her beloved grandmother ties Mersey to the
forests and a future that doesn't feel like her own. Afraid she'll
never get to be captain again if she stays, Mersey sets out to free
her city - and herself - from the hounds of the Heartless King.
When a reckless plan fails, Mersey finds herself caught up in the
world's most notorious pirate crew, and the arms of its
cold-blooded first mate. These pirates are determined to take
Mersey's city for themselves, leaving her caught in the beginnings
of a war; one she knows will have disastrous consequences for the
people she loves, but just might be the thing to set her free. Amid
lies, betrayal, and a blossoming love for someone she is supposed
to want dead, Mersey finds herself torn between two lives, each as
steeped in red as the other.
