Discover an epic tale of magic, revenge and an empire on the verge
of ruin in the first ever novel set in the blockbuster universe of
League of Legends. Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy.
Where the empire's knights go, slaughter follows. Kalista seeks to
change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes
king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal
confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are
thwarted when an assassin's poisoned blade strikes Viego's wife,
Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure. As
Isolde's condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief,
threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a
desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long
lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen's salvation, if only
Kalista can find them. But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles'
capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his
cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her
loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right - for even in
the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that
saves the world. 'Anthony Reynolds weaves a propulsive tale of
love, loss, war, and duty that recalls the adage, 'the only thing
necessary for the triumph of evil is for the good to do nothing.'
Those familiar with League of Legends know where this story must
leave us, but Ruination's power is that - like all good myths -
knowing how it ends is just the beginning' Evan Winter, author of
The Rage of Dragons 'Ruination is a rousing, intrigue and action
rich tale sure to delight fans of fantasy' Anthony Ryan, author of
The Pariah 'Fast-paced and entertaining epic fantasy - thoroughly
enjoyable, and a worthy addition to the world that League of
Legends began fleshing out with Arcane. Recommended for fans and
newcomers alike' James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was
Lost

Leonard Cohen: A Remarkable Life tells the story of the life, loves
and work of Leonard Cohen, the poet, songwriter and singer 'born
with the gift of a golden voice.' As the man himself once dryly put
it.Anthony Reynolds' fascinating and detailed biography draws on
scores of new interviews conducted with Cohen's band members past
and present, his business associates, editors, friends, fans,
producers, colleagues, enemies and peers. As well as their
revealing accounts, the author has gained access to hours of
previously unpublished interviews with Cohen as well as video
archive recordings from several decades. The book also includes an
authoritative summary of every Cohen album, with insights and
recollections supplied from the musicians who appeared on the
recordings. Gradually, despite Cohen's own good-natured evasiveness
over the past 40 years, a surprisingly frank portrait begins to
emerge of the legendary figure who commands unparalleled loyalty
from his fans and followers, young and old. From the distant days
of his penniless beginnings as a much-praised poet in Montreal,
through the travels, affairs and religious crisis to his latest
tours, Cohen's extraordinary life and body of work is examined as
never before. The book includes many previously unpublished
photographs.

Jeff Buckley's doe-eyed good looks and exceptional musicianship
made him a Gen X poster boy and the object of reverent admiration
from rock's aristocracy. His ethereal yet powerful voice forever
changed the landscape of popular music, and his short but intensely
lived life has crystallized into an enduring rock'n'roll legend.
"Jeff Buckley" explores the rocker's life and legacy in
unprecendented detail. It recounts his self-described "trailer
trash" upbringing and long years of hand-to-mouth struggle through
his emergence as the most acclaimed singer/songwriter of the
mid-1990s and the preliminary recording sessions for his
never-completed second album. More than a decade after his tragic
accidental death, Buckley's myth has lost none of its potency.
Steeped in melancholia and excess, his story is retold here through
the memories of those who knew him best, making "Jeff Buckley" a
captivating narrative of rock'n'roll dreams, burning ambition, and
doomed youth.
