Harry Potter can't wait for his holidays with the dire Dursleys to
end. But a small, self-punishing house-elf warns Harry of mortal
danger awaiting him at Hogwarts. Returning to the castle
nevertheless, Harry hears a rumour about a Chamber of Secrets,
holding unknown horrors for wizards of Muggle parentage. Then
students are found as though turned to stone, and a terrible
warning is discovered painted on the wall. The chief suspect -
always in the wrong place - is Harry. But something much darker has
yet to be unleashed. These adult editions with glorious jacket art
by Andrew Davidson are now available in hardback for the first
time.

The Sunday Times bestseller. One sister. Two sinful princes.
Infinite deception with a side of revenge . . . Welcome to Hell.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco
comes the sizzling and sweepingly romantic sequel to Kingdom of the
Wicked. With the enigmatic Prince of Wrath at her side, Emilia sold
her soul to become Queen of the Wicked and travelled to the Seven
Circles to fulfil her vow of avenging her beloved sister. But the
first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. And it quickly
becomes clear that nothing in Hell is what it seems. Even Wrath,
her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. But
that suits Emilia just fine - she's got secrets of her own. Faced
with backstabbing courtiers, princes who delight in fear, luxurious
palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly
happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock
the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves.
As long as her sins don't catch up to her first . . . *** PRAISE

Wei Wuxian was once one of the most powerful men of his generation,
a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts
and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of
war led him to seek more power through demonic cultivation, the
world's respect for his abilities turned to fear, and his death was
celebrated throughout the land. Years later, he awakens in the body
of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei
Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second
life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that
appear before him now. Yet this time, he'll face it all with the
righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, another powerful
cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their
past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.

The Dark Lord has risen, and as he unleashes hordes of Orcs to conquer all Middle-earth, Frodo and Sam struggle deep into his realm in Mordor. To defeat Sauron, the One Ring must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. But the way is impossibly hard, and Frodo is weakening.

the first volume in the series. Kings and queens, knights and
renegades, liars, lords and honest men... all will play the GAME OF
THRONES. Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the
struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the

savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where a
700-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that
lie beyond. The Game of Thrones. You win, or you die. Book One of A
Song of Ice and Fire begins the greatest fantasy epic of the modern
age. Winter is coming...
The time of peace is over. The time of war has begun. Bera is
struggling to reconcile her desire to be an ordinary woman with the
weight of her Valla duty to shape the future. Love and friendship
vie with her longing for freedom at sea on her beloved longboat.
Warned that Chaos is coming and that Vikings have taken her kin as
slaves, Bera realises her destiny is to follow them to Wolf Island,
a land that has abandoned the old gods. In a quest to save her
loved ones, Bera must use her smith's iron lore and the knowledge
of her Valla ancestors to follow an ancient path into a dark
labyrinth, where human time is meaningless. There, she confronts
her worst foe to finally bring peace - at the cost of a life. The
voyage that began with Sea Paths and continued with Obsidian ends
with Landfall, Bera's most dangerous and important journey of all.

Wheel of Time sequence - introduces a fantasy trilogy which
overturns the expectations of readers and goes on to tell the epic
story of evil overturned in a richly imagined world. A thousand
years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand
ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float
down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord
rules through the aristocratic families and ordinary folk are
condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the
ash fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived and there is rumour
of revolt. A revolt that depends on a criminal no-one can trust and
a young girl who must master Allomancy - the magic that lies in all
metals. A New York Times bestseller and a international smash-hit
trilogy from the author who wrote the final books in The Wheel of
Time sequence.
Could you follow your dreams if the whole world was against you?
Gunhild dreams of becoming a real-life god, and everyone everywhere
thinks it's a terrible idea made up by a petulant twelve-year-old.
In the world of Norse mythology, humans revere the mighty gods and
fear the mystical, nature-wielding Jotuns, and Gunhild is a fire
Jotun. Abandoned by her own kind and raised in a human girls'
orphanage, Gunhild wishes to prove to her peers that she's more
than a little troublemaker. Every step of the way, it becomes clear
that Gunhild must fight for what's right and follow her own sense
of justice, seeing as no one else will fight for her. Gunhild's
quest leads her to meet all the famous gods she's heard about in
schools, like Odin and Thor, though the one she's most interested
in is the mischievous Jotun god Loki, who's chained up in a cave
hidden in a location known only by the gods. Her travels lead
mainly to many foes, but a few enemies become friends, persuaded by
Gunhild's unwavering determination and burning passion for her own
cause. Being a tiny Jotun against a big, powerful world, Gunhild
must fight smart and learn a trick or two from Loki to earn the
title of godhood. Certainly, Gunhild will stop at nothing to forge
her own fantastic path and make her dream come true. Gunhild is
rated Y for Youth, recommended for ages 10 and up. Saturday AM, the

A warm and wry family drama with a witchy twist about four generations of Black women living under one roof and the family curse that stems back to a voodoo sorceress in 1950s New Orleans.
For generations, the Montrose women have lived alone with their secrets, their delicate peace depending on the unspoken bond that underpins their family life - Voodoo and hoodoo magic, and a decades-old curse that will kill anyone they fall for.
When seventeen-year-old Nickie Montrose brings home a boy for the first time, this careful balance is thrown into disarray. For the other women have been keeping the curse from Nickie, and revealing it means that they must reckon with their own choices and mistakes.
As new truths emerge, the Montrose women are set on a collision course that echoes back to New Orleans' French Quarter, where a crumbling book of spells may hold the answers that all of them have been looking for...
Rich in its sense of character and place, Black Candle Women is a haunting and magical debut from a talented new storyteller.
