The precarious equilibrium among the four Londons has reached its
breaking point. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic,
darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for
another London to rise. Kell-once assumed to be the last surviving
Antari-begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties.
Lila Bard, once a commonplace-but never common-thief, has survived
and flourished through a series of magical trials. But now she must
learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Meanwhile,
the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery and the Night Spire crew are
attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible, as an
ancient enemy returns to claim a crown and a fallen hero is
desperate to save a decaying world...
See the Grishaverse come to life on screen with Shadow and Bone,
now a Netflix original series. The wolves are circling and a young
king will face his greatest challenge in the explosive finale of
the instant No.1 New York Times-bestselling King of Scars Duology.
The Demon King. As Fjerda's massive army prepares to invade,
Nikolai Lantsov will summon every bit of his ingenuity and charm -
and even the monster within - to win this fight. But a dark threat
looms that cannot be defeated by a young king's gift for the
impossible. The Stormwitch. Zoya Nazyalensky has lost too much to
war. She saw her mentor die and her worst enemy resurrected, and
she refuses to bury another friend. Now duty demands she embrace
her powers to become the weapon her country needs. No matter the
cost. The Queen of Mourning. Deep undercover, Nina Zenik risks
discovery and death as she wages war on Fjerda from inside its
capital. But her desire for revenge may cost her country its chance
at freedom and Nina the chance to heal her grieving heart. King.

This magical story follows three children living in a tower block,
as they embark on a fantastical adventure which helps them see
their home in a new light. A deeply personal story written by
multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph
Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing up in a tower block
and looking for adventure. This story is a celebration of, and a
reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where magic and adventure can
happen. It's a modern-day fable that shows the children of a tower
block travelling to a strange, magical world inside a tree and
meeting an old man with supernatural powers, only to realise that
the magic they'd been looking for had been in their tower all
along. Beautiful illustrations complement the poetic narrative,
creating an enchanting story which children and adults alike will
fall in love with. This powerful story is about how society
separates 'urban' spaces from the countryside, but the reality is
that nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.
