A witch. A witch hunter. A love so deadly it could set the world on fire…
Rune Winters is on the run from the republic who condemned her and the boy who betrayed her. Her friends, her home, and the life she knew are lost.
An ocean away, her only ally is the unlikeliest one: Cressida Roseblood, the deposed witch queen intent on taking back what she thinks hers – the crown, the country, and Gideon Sharpe with it.
Gideon will not allow the terrors of his past to rise again, even if this means hunting down every last witch. But there is only one witch who holds the key to Cressida’s return…and Gideon’s heart.
And he will stop at nothing to find her. Rune Winters will meet her end. Even if it ends him too.
The Hunger Games meets vampires in this heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of dark magic, and bloodthirsty intrigue from bestselling author Carissa Broadbent.
For humans and vampires, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.
The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.
But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.
Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown… and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.
But there’s no room for compassion in the Kejari. War for the House of Night brews, shattering everything that Oraya thought she knew about her home. And Raihn may understand her more than anyone – but their blossoming attraction could be her downfall, in a kingdom where nothing is more deadly than love.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. 'This was the slaying of the
Minotaur, which put an end forever to the shameful tribute of seven
youths and seven maidens which was exacted from the Athenians every
nine years.' The gods, heroes and legends of Greek mythology and
their Roman interpretations are as fascinating as they are
instructive. They include the almighty Zeus and his many wives;
heroic Perseus, slayer of the snake-headed Medusa; Helen of Troy,
whose beauty caused a great war; Medea, driven mad by jealousy; and
tragic Persephone, doomed to live half of each year in the
Underworld, condemning the world above to winter. First published
in 1880, this comprehensive collection is an early modern retelling
of the characters and tales of ancient Greece and Rome; a popular
account which offers an important insight into the ancient
civilisations that it evokes, and forms a basis for our
understanding of the classical world.
Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller from nationally bestselling
author Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill
House.
Going home is always hard.
For Vera, going home means returning to the notorious Crowder House
where her serial killer father murdered his victims and buried their
bodies beneath.
Then notes start to appear in Vera's father's handwriting - but they
can't be from him. He has been dead for years.
Vera thought that the house had given up all its secrets but now she
must uncover how deep the rot goes.
