The second part of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the
Rings, featuring an exclusive cover designed to complement the new
'History of Middle-earth' series. This edition, styled to
complement the new 'History of Middle-earth' series, tells the
story of Frodo and the Companions of the Ring, who have been beset
by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from
falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the
Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in the battle
with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of
Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize
it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the
company were attacked by Orcs. Now they continue their journey
alone down the great River Anduin -- alone, that is, save for the
mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

Enemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.
On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.
Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe - a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution - who she can't help but find herself falling for.
Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?
Kristen Ciccarelli’s Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to The Crimson Moth duology, a romantic fantasy series where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in 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.
