Hoe dans jy as die lied in jou hart stil geraak het?
In a world where power and destiny entwine, Dumisani Ngcobo, a prince with unwavering determination, has always been groomed for the throne of the Twelve Kingdoms. He's been moulded by a lifetime of trials and tribulations, all leading to the moment he believes he's fated for. But when a haunting spectre from his past threatens to unravel the very fabric of his ambitions, he finds himself in desperate need of an unlikely saviour, the only one who can identify this ghost: Zizomila. Zizomila Mabhanga, a fiercely independent and successful businesswoman, is a force to be reckoned with. She's never been one to bow to anyone, let alone an arrogant prince like Dumisani. Yet, fate has a twisted sense of humour, and their paths collide in a way neither can ignore. Their magnetic attraction defies reason, and they are drawn together despite the glaring warning signs that surround Dumisani's enigmatic persona. As the dangers surrounding them intensify, their connection deepens, and soon, they find themselves ensnared in a love that's as intoxicating as it is perilous. Dumisani, driven by an unquenchable need to dominate, becomes addicted to Zizomila, making her his sole obsession and jeopardising the very plans he's spent a lifetime crafting. Zizomila, torn between her desire for independence and her inexplicable yearning for Dumisani, faces a choice that could shatter their world. The chains of their shared past traumas threaten to pull them apart, but their passion burns brighter than any obstacle. In Chains That Bind, a dark romance unfolds as a prince and an unlikely princess ignite a destructive passion that could set their world ablaze, leaving them to question whether they can break free of the chains that bind them, or succumb to the chaos they've unleashed in their quest to be together.
'n Houtkapper met 'n rustelose siel. 'n Legendariese olifantbul wat losbreek van sy trop . . . In die groen skemerwereld van die Outeniekwa loop hulle kringpaaie. Saul Barnard, deur sy mense verwerp en deur gewetenlose houtkopers tot kneg verneder; Oupoot, eindeloos agtervolg deur jagters. 'n Man en sy dier-broer - saamgegooi in 'n ongerepte oerbos, wat stuk vir stuk deur gouddelwers, boskappers en ander uitroeiers vernietig word."
The Discovery of Love, explores and heightens one of the dominant themes in Nthikeng Mohlele’s literary oeuvre, that of love. In this collection, love is reflected upon in expansive and unexpected dimensions. It becomes the backdrop against which Mohlele delves into the intricacies of human agency with profound and often unexpected effects. These stories dazzle; they are wide-ranging in scope, yet particular in their authorial intent.
Dit was nog nie behoorlik dag nie toe Kaatjie Danster, haastig op pad Halte toe, die kind van die weemoed in die voetpaadjie voor haar gewaar. Tjoepstil het hy gestaan en luister na die wind. Sy het dadelik geweet: Druppeltjie du Pisanie, kind van Waterwyser du Pisanie en KensTillie Moolman, het die lewe vir die dood verruil. Maar hoe Druppeltjie onder in die boorgat beland het, dit weet niemand nie. En die af-arm magistraat wat nou, veertien maande later, kom ondersoek instel na die oorsaak van sy dood, torring verniet aan dinge wat verby is.

Die vertrek waarin ek my opgestopte voëltjies in glaskissies uitgestal het, het ek ontruim. Ek het die voëleiertjies en -neste, asook kassette met opnames van voëlgeluide in bokse gepak. Dit het my te veel aan Pa laat dink, en aan hom wou ek nie dink nie. Want dan het ek vir Annalisa gehaat, en ’n ma mag haar kind nie haat nie. Hulle is onder ’n kareeboom in die agtererf besig om na ’n janfiskaal te kyk wanneer haar tronkdokter-pa by Rosaria bieg dat ook hý ’n tipe laksman is. By Pretoria-Sentraal, waar hy die gehangdes se doodsertifikate uitreik, dien hy soms ook die genadeskoot toe. Maar sê nou van daardie tereggesteldes was onskuldig? wonder Rosaria. Nou, jare later, en kort ná die raaiselagtige dood van haar dogter Annalisa, onthou Rosarie die nonnetjiesuil wat sy en haar aweregse dogter grootgemaak het. Dit was voor Annalisa se rockmusiek van haar ’n kultusfiguur gemaak het, en voordat sy haar rug op haar ma gedraai het. Rosaria se worsteling strek verder terug as haar kind se dood. Haar verlede word verder oopgeruk wanneer Annalisa se dogtertjie haar verskyning maak – ’n kleinkind waarvan Rosarie nooit geweet het nie. Maar hoe het haar dogter gesterf? En hoe naby aan ’n laksman is Rosaria self?
Jo Watson returns with a hilarious and spicy second-chance rom-com! Thirteen years ago, Ash was planning the night of her life with her high-school boyfriend, Logan. They were madly in love, wild about each other, and had been waiting patiently for this moment. It was going to be perfect. That is, until it went down in very unsexy flames. Logan disappeared and Ash was left, quite frankly - and very inconveniently - sexually cursed. After years of disastrous dating and even more disastrous sex, cinematographer Ash has almost given up. But some seriously flirtatious emails with location agent Maximillian Adam, to set up a scouting trip, offer her hope. Because if rumor is to be believed, Maximillian Adam might just be God's sexual gift to women. Is Max going to be the one to finally break the curse? And, even better, break it over and over again? Or when Ash and Max finally come face to face, will they both get so much more than they bargained for?
When you are accustomed to the finer things in life -designer shoes, champagne, VIP lounges, exotic holidays abroad, a luxury penthouse, expensive wheels -what independent young woman in her right mind would want to let them go? Certainly not the beautiful, ambitious and super-streetsmart Bontle Tau, the girl who has used her good looks and winning charm all her life to get exactly what she wants. The lifestyle doesn't come cheap, though, nor does maintaining the body that allows it (just ask Dr Heinz at the beauty clinic). Luckily, Bontle has a degree in MENcology, and there is no shortage of blessers at her penthouse door, eager to give her all the love and (financial) support she needs. Papa Jeff might be overweight and getting on a bit, and receiving some unwanted attention from the Hawks; and Teddy might not have fully come through for her on that messed-up tender business; but Mr Emmanuel, the Nigerian businessman with deep pockets and the possibility of conferring second wife statu could that be love? Keeping all her boyfriends happy and living a fabulous life is not without its challenges. With so many people clamouring for Bontle's attention -from her shebeen queen mother Gladys in Mamelodi, who is taking strain bringing up her teenaged brother, Golokile, on her own; to her girlfriends, Iris and Tsholo; not to mention her soon-to-be ex-husband, the ever-patient, ever-loving Ntokozo, Bontle barely has time to post on Instagram these days. Sooner or later something's got to give.

South African playwright Hannah Meade arrives in London for the opening night of her new play. She has arranged to meet Pierre, the student she was in love with when she taught English in Paris. During their time together, they lied their way towards truths they were too young and inexperienced to endure. Perhaps this time they will have a second chance. As the reader is drawn from contemporary London back to Paris on the eve of the war in Iraq, the mystery of past events is brought to vivid life in a series of dramatic, intriguing and deeply moving encounters. Written in layered, stark prose, The White Room lays bare many of our assumptions about language, identity, memory, loss and love. ‘Craig Higginson is at the vanguard of the latest and most exciting novelists in South Africa, both robust and sensitive, offering a barometer of the best to be expected from the newest wave of writing in the country.’ – André Brink ‘In its conception and execution, The White Room is remarkable ... Evocative and dreamlike, yet all too nightmarishly real, this is a story so moving that it leaves a powerful afterimage on the reader’s imagination.’ – Craig Mackenzie
