his head! Twilight must infiltrate the prestigious Eden Academy to

Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai
of all time. The quintessential warrior-philosopher, Musashi
authored A Book of Five Rings, a classic treatise in the canon of
world philosophy and military strategy. But the path to
enlightenment is an endless journey, and to get there through
violent means - by way of the sword - makes mere survival an even
greater challenge. Miyamoto Musashi versus Sasaki Kojiro was
perhaps the greatest matchup in the history of the samurai warrior.
They follow different paths, but their lives intertwine heading
toward their epic duel. For now, Kojiro finds himself in a new
position as sword instructor to the powerful Hosokawa Clan in
Kokura. Meanwhile, Musashi continues his journey while he is still
coming to terms with accomplishing the impossible - singlehandedly
destroying the mighty Yoshioka School.
A new Once Upon a Time novel that reveals a previously unseen adventure from the hit ABC series!
Sixteen-year-old Regina is very different from the Regina known by fans of ABC's Once Upon a Time. She seeks romance, adventure, and approval. Of course, getting approval from a mother like Cora is next to impossible. For Regina, friendships have always been a rare commodity. Could it be that Regina has finally found a true friend? Or is it too good to be true? As Regina struggles to find her own identity and create her own destiny, she discovers that her fate might just be to become everything she despises.
Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, this is the first part of
Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a
striking black cover based on Tolkien's own design, the definitive
text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord,
has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he
intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for
dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has
fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy
village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with
an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to
his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey
across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the
Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Part of a set of
three paperbacks, this popular edition is once again available in
its classic black livery designed by Tolkien himself.

_____________ How did a collective of self-taught internet sleuths
end up solving some of the biggest crimes of our time? Bellingcat,
the home-grown investigative unit, is redefining the way we think
about news, politics and the digital future. Here, their founder -
a high-school dropout on a kitchen laptop - tells the story of how
they created a whole new category of information-gathering,
galvanising citizen journalists across the globe to expose war
crimes and pick apart disinformation, using just their computers.
From the downing of Malaysia Flight 17 over the Ukraine to the
sourcing of weapons in the Syrian Civil War and the identification
of the Salisbury poisoners, We Are Bellingcat digs deep into some
of Bellingcat's most successful investigations. It explores the
most cutting-edge tools for analysing data, from virtual-reality
software that can build photorealistic 3D models of a crime scene,
to apps that can identify exactly what time of day a photograph was
taken. In our age of uncertain truths, Bellingcat is what the world
needs right now - an intelligence agency by the people, for the
people.
We were meant to be seductive. We were designed to lure humans in.
Fortuna Sworn is the last of her kind.
Her brother disappeared two years ago, leaving her with no family or species to speak of. She hides among humans, spending her days working at a bar and her nights searching for him. The bleak pattern goes on and on... until she catches the eye of a powerful faerie. He makes no attempt to hide that he desires Fortuna. And in exchange for her, he offers something irresistible. So Fortuna reluctantly leaves her safe existence behind to step back into a world of creatures and power.
It soon becomes clear that she may not have bargained with her heart, but her very life.
TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of sexual harassment, toxic relationships, and slavery.
