The next raid overseen by the Hunters Association brings together
the survivors of the double dungeon incident for the first time
since the tragedy. Fortunately, this next raid should be fairly
cut-and-dry—but sometimes, the most terrifying beasts aren’t
the ones found in dungeons...
A global phenomenon, The Alchemist has been read and loved by over
62 million readers, topping bestseller lists in 74 countries
worldwide. Now this magical fable is beautifully repackaged in an
edition that lovers of Paulo Coelho will want to treasure forever.
Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its
readers forever. This is such a book – a beautiful parable about
learning to listen to your heart, read the omens strewn along
life’s path and, above all, follow your dreams. Santiago, a young
shepherd living in the hills of Andalucia, feels that there is more
to life than his humble home and his flock. One day he finds the
courage to follow his dreams into distant lands, each step
galvanised by the knowledge that he is following the right path:
his own. The people he meets along the way, the things he sees and
the wisdom he learns are life-changing. With Paulo Coelho’s
visionary blend of spirituality, magical realism and folklore, The
Alchemist is a story with the power to inspire nations and change
people’s lives.
The latest saga in the New York Times bestselling world of Osten
Ard concludes in the fourth and final Last King of Osten Ard novel.
The Hayholt is besieged by the Norns. Once the home of their
immortal brethren, the Sithi, now capital of the kingdom of men,
the fabled castle is under attack. And as the world is distracted
by this strike against humankind, the Norns' deathless witch-queen
Utuk'ku turns towards the mysterious fateful valley called
Tanakirú - the Vale of Mists. Meanwhile, Queen Miriamele hurries
to save the Hayholt and capture the treacherous noble Pasevalles,
but arrives to discover the traitor has escaped. And inside
Tanakirú, Vale of Mists, the bond between Prince Morgan and
Nezeru, a renegade Norn, has become something deeper and stranger
than either of them could have anticipated. They journey ever
deeper to the heart of the valley's mystery, encountering wonder
and horror, and come face to face at last with the ancient secret
that has kindled the Norn Queen's war - a secret that will destroy
immortals and humans alike.

far from all other humanity, what will survival mean? ‘Haven is a
beautiful, bold blaze of a book’ Rachel Joyce, author of The
Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry ‘Beautiful and timely’ -

beautifully written’ The Times ‘Combines pressure-cooker

The Break explodes into the gangland world of 90s Soho, by snooker
world champion and national superstar, Ronnie O'Sullivan.
After the horrors she suffered in Wales, Dr Sara Jones has returned
to London and found a way to use her fledgling psychic abilities
for good, belying the grim predictions of her former mentor, serial
killer Eldon Carson. But when events cause Sara to doubt the
trustworthiness of her visions, she is thrown into uncertainty.
This happens just as Sara’s partner, ex-police Inspector Jamie
Harding, accepts work from her late brother’s firm Thorndike
Aerospace. It’s not just the dark morality of the arms trade that
troubles Sara – it’s also her unsettling visions of Jamie’s
new boss. But how can she trust what she’s seen? Is Jamie in as
much danger as she fears?
