Callum Hunt's summer break isn't like other kids'. His closest
companion is a Chaos-ridden wolf, Havoc. His father suspects him of
being secretly evil. And, of course, most kids aren't heading back
to school in the magical world of the Magisterium . . . It's not
easy for Call . . . and it gets even harder after he checks out his
basement and discovers that his dad might be trying to destroy both
him and Havoc. Call escapes to the Magisterium but things only
intensify there. The Alkahest - a copper gauntlet capable of
separating certain magicians from their magic - has been stolen.
And in their search to discover the culprit, Call and his friends
awaken the attention of some very dangerous foes - and get closer
to an even more dangerous truth. As the mysteries of the
Magisterium deepen and widen, bestselling authors Holly Black and
Cassandra Clare take readers on an extraordinary journey through
one boy's conflict -and a whole world's fate.
Discover the dark and seductive realm of faerie in the first book
of New York Times bestseller Holly Black's critically acclaimed
Modern Faerie Tales series. Kaye is used to drifting from place to
place with her mother's rock band, until an ominous attack forces
them back to her childhood home. Kaye's always had the unique
ability to see faeries, so when she stumbles upon an injured faerie
knight in the woods, she decides to save him. But this fateful
choice has dire consequences, as she soon finds herself the
unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two
rival faerie kingdoms. Will Kaye escape with her life?
A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy
them both. Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent.
But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth, has
reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There she is using an ancient
relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding
and exact her revenge. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth,
and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human
world, where she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still
haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of
Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish
bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag
Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by
none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once
promised in marriage and who she has resented for years. Now
seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful and manipulative. He's on a
mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren's
help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against
the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as
confronting all the horrors she thought she had left behind.

Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafańe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafańe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.
Triple bill of crime dramas. In 'Bad Karma' (2012), starring Ray
Liotta and Dominic Purcell, a criminal's attempts to go straight
are sabotaged by his former partner. Relocating from Sydney to the
Gold Coast to start afresh, Molloy (Liotta) is remarkably
successful and even finds something approaching domestic bliss with
a new girlfriend. Naturally, when his old crime partner Mack
(Purcell) tracks him down he finds that Molloy is reluctant to
return to his past life. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter the
increasingly deranged Mack as he sets about convincing Molloy to
help him pull off one last job. In 'The Entitled' (2011) social
misfit Paul (Kevin Zegers) is driven to desperate measures when he
is turned down for yet another job and his ill mother is given a
foreclosure notice on the family home. He enlists the help of two
friends to abduct three kids from rich families and hold them
ransom for a million dollars each, but the plan goes badly wrong
and they soon find themselves in way over their heads. 'Officer
Down' (2012) follows Detective David Callahan (Stephen Dorff),
known as 'Cal' on the force, who has had a mixed career as a police
officer, struggling with drink problems and straying to the wrong
side of the law himself at times. When he finds himself caught up
in a murder investigation, Cal must attempt to overcome the demons
from his own past as well as the challenges of the case.
History of Jamaica has been revised to bring the account of the
island's history up to date. Many maps and photographs have also
been added. This edition of the authoritative History of Jamaica
covers the whole of the history of the island from the arrival of
the Arawaks a thousand years ago until the present day. That
thousand year period has also seen the arrival of the Spaniards and
the extermination of the Amerindians, the coming of the British and
the introduction of slavery, the fight for freedom and the
achievement of Independence. This story, with its many facets: the
Buccaneers, the Maroons, the National Heroes and others, is told by
the Government Archivist in a flowing narrative which is backed by
a knowledge based on the closest contact with original documants.
