Leven has no memory of her life before she was a soldier. The
process of turning her into a Herald – a magical killing machine
– was traumatic enough that it wiped her mind clean. Now, with
the war won and the Imperium satisfied, she finds herself
unemployed and facing a bleak future. Her fellow Heralds are
disappearing, and her own mind seems to be coming apart at the
seams. Strange visions, memories she shouldn’t have, are
resurfacing, and none of them make any sense. They show her
Brittletain, the ancient and mysterious island that the Imperium
was never able to tame. Leven resolves to go to this place of magic
and warring queens, with the hope of finding who she really is.
Envoy Kaeto has done a number of important little jobs for the
Imperium, most of them nasty, all of them in the shadows. His
newest assignment is to escort the bone-crafter Gynid Tyleigh as
she travels across the Imperium – as the woman responsible for
creating the Heralds, his employers owe her a great deal. But
Tyleigh’s ambition alarms even Kaeto, and her conviction that she
has found a new source of Titan bones, buried deep in the earth,
could lead to another, even bloodier war. Ynis was raised by the
griffins, and has never seen another human face. She lives wild, as
they do, eating her meat raw and flying with
her talon-sister, T’rook. The griffins fiercely protect
their isolation – the piles of skulls that litter the mountains
of Brittletain are testament to that – but the magic they guard
will always make them a target for the greed of men. By choosing
not to kill Ynis when she was just a baby, the griffins may have
doomed themselves – because the girl’s past is coming for her,
and it carries a lethal blade.
Treading the fine line where the supernatural ends and real human
monstrosity begins, GAMES FOR DEAD GIRLS is a haunting, dark read,
perfect for fans of Jennifer Hillier and Alex North. Hithechurch, a
peaceful, out-of-the-way seaside town in Kent. When Charlie was
young, she would visit with her family, making friends and playing
down by the beach. Their favourite was telling scary stories; silly
games of make-believe that would twist and weave old wife’s tales
to scare each other. They would laugh and try to shake off the
shiver than ran down their backs and made the hair on their necks
stand on end. But what if it wasn’t all make-believe? Years later
Charlie returns to Hithechurch with her niece, researching a book
on folklore. As she delves deeper into the history of the area, she
finds something disturbing: a decades long history of women going
missing. Could the stories be true? Charlie is about to find out
some games are deadlier than others.

From two time British Fantasy Award-winning author, Jen Williams,
comes the epic conclusion to the Winnowing Flame trilogy.
Exhilarating fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb. 'One of the best
fantasy novels of the year, if not the decade' James Oswald 'A
fitting finale, triumphant and bittersweet in all the best ways'
SciFiNow All is chaos. All is confusion. The Jure'lia are weak, but
the war is far from over. Ebora was once a glorious city, defended
by legendary warriors and celebrated in song. Now refugees from
every corner of Sarn seek shelter within its crumbling walls, and
the enemy that has poisoned their land won't lie dormant for long.
The deep-rooted connection that Tormalin, Noon and the scholar
Vintage share with their Eboran war-beasts has kept them alive so
far. But with Tor distracted, and his sister Hestillion hell-bent
on bringing ruthless order to the next Jure'lia attack, the people
of Sarn need all the help they can get. Noon is no stranger to
playing with fire and knows just where to recruit a new - and
powerful - army. But even she underestimates the epic quest that is
to come. It is a journey wrought with pain and sacrifice - a
reckoning that will change the face of Sarn forever. Join forces
with the heroes of the WINNOWING FLAME TRILOGY as they strive to
silence the Jure'lia's poison song once and for all. What readers
are saying about the WINNOWING FLAME trilogy: 'The woman is a
genius! Modern and fresh fantasy... one of my favourite series of
the last few years and it ended super strong' 'A fitting end to the
trilogy and I am very sad to be leaving this world behind' 'Loved
it! When I grow up, I want to be a war-beast' 'Williams knocks it
out of the park' 'All the stars for this. ALL... An exceptional
finale that exceeded every expectation' 'Feminist fantasy at its
best' 'The perfect conclusion to an epic and epically brilliant
fantasy trilogy. Jen Williams is a master' 'Brilliantly creative
fantasy' 'Great pacing, top-notch writing, quality
characterisation, plenty of action!' 'More action, scarier monsters
and a more expansive story' 'Be ready for some great reveals and
twists that may break your heart, but that will overall leave you
fist pumping the air' 'The world building continues to blow my
mind'

Every class includes a number of pupils whose learning needs are
greater than, or different from, those of the rest of the class.
All teachers should be able to identify targets to use as the
baseline for intervention and to help those children to make
appropriate progress in small steps so as to feel a sense of
achievement. However, many teachers in mainstream primary schools
don't know what the next 'target' should be. They know what the
child can't do, but they often don't know how to express that as a
target. This fourth title in a powerful new series of practical
books will support SENCos and mainstream primary school teachers in
thinking about what their SEN pupils can do and deciding on the
next steps. It offers a system for setting and monitoring targets
which can replace or complement IEPs. Suggestions for strategies
and activities for achieving targets are included throughout. *
Each book comes with a CD with photocopiable material, including
targets pages and Records of Progress templates. Target Ladders:
Speech, Language and Communication Needs addresses seven key
aspects of SLCN: Early communication; Attention; Play and social
interaction; Comprehension; Expressive language; Social
communication; Speech. Helpful checklists and practical advice for
creating SLCN-friendly classrooms make this an ideal practical
resource for the busy primary teacher. ABOUT THE SERIES: The
Differentiating for Inclusion series is designed to narrow the gap
between children with SEN and their peers. Books in this series
offer teachers helpful guidance in identifying both what children
can already do and what specific targets they need support in
achieving. The positive approach of structured small-steps targets,
together with activities for teaching these, will ensure that
children with SEN make accelerated progress. The books are all
written by experienced practitioners.
**Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel** The
first book in the award-winning Winnowing Flame trilogy. Epic
fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb and Jay Kristoff. 'Fantasy adventure
at its very best' Starburst 'Williams excels at eldritch
world-building' Guardian 'An original new voice in heroic fantasy'
Adrian Tchaikovsky The great city of Ebora once glittered with
gold. Now its streets are stalked by wolves. Tormalin the Oathless
has no taste for sitting around waiting to die while the realm of
his storied ancestors falls to pieces - talk about a guilt trip.
Better to be amongst the living, where there are taverns full of
women and wine. When eccentric explorer, Lady Vincenza 'Vintage' de
Grazon, offers him employment, he sees an easy way out. Even when
they are joined by a fugitive witch with a tendency to set things
on fire, the prospect of facing down monsters and retrieving
ancient artefacts is preferable to the abomination he left behind.
But not everyone is willing to let the Eboran empire collapse, and
the adventurers are quickly drawn into a tangled conspiracy of
magic and war. For the Jure'lia are coming, and the Ninth Rain must
fall... What readers are saying about THE NINTH RAIN: 'The Ninth
Rain was an amazing and captivating start to a trilogy; simple as
that. I have a really good feeling that The Winnowing Flame Trilogy
will become a new and long-awaited addition to my list of favorite
trilogies of all time' 'What a world! What characters! What
beasties! WHAT A BOOK!' 'I loved everything about this book: the
characters, the plot, the monsters, the twists and turns.
Masterfully handled and beautifully written'

Copper Cat Trilogy. Epic fantasy for fans of Robin Hobb and Jay
Kristoff's Nevernight series. 'A fast-paced and original new voice
in heroic fantasy' Adrian Tchaikovsky , author of Children of Time
There are some tall stories about the caverns beneath the Citadel -
about magic and mages and monsters and gods. Wydrin of Crosshaven
has heard them all, but she's spent long enough trawling caverns
and taverns with her companion Sir Sebastian to learn that there's
no money to be made in chasing rumours. But then a crippled
nobleman with a dead man's name offers them a job: exploring the
Citadel's darkest depths. It sounds like just another quest with
gold and adventure ... if they're lucky, they might even have a
tale of their own to tell once it's over. These reckless
adventurers will soon learn that sometimes there is truth in
rumour. Sometimes a story can save your life.
The second adventure in the exhilarating British Fantasy
Award-nominated Copper Cat Trilogy. Epic fantasy for fans of Robin

defeating them, and the heroes of Baneswatch are now enjoying the
perks of being very much in demand for their services. When a job
comes up in the distant city of Skaldshollow, it looks like easy
coin - retrieve a stolen item, admire the views, get paid. But in a
place twisted and haunted by ancient magic, with the most infamous
mage of them all, Joah Demonsworn, making a reappearance, our
heroes soon find themselves threatened by enemies on all sides, old
and new. And in the frozen mountains, the stones are walking...
**Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel** The
electrifying second book in the award-winning Winnowing Flame
trilogy - the sequel to The Ninth Rain. Epic fantasy for fans of
Robin Hobb and Adrian Tchaikovsky. 'An absolute joy to read...
jam-packed with breath-taking inventiveness' James Oswald
'Incredible heroines... incredible fantasy... Escapism at its
finest' Stylist The Ninth Rain has fallen. The Jure'lia are awake.
Nothing can be the same again. Tormalin the Oathless and the
fell-witch Noon have their work cut out rallying the first
war-beasts to be born in Ebora for three centuries. But these are
not the great winged warriors of old. Hatched too soon and with no
memory of their past incarnations, these onetime defenders of Sarn
can barely stop bickering, let alone face an ancient enemy who grow
stronger each day. The key to uniting them, according to the
scholar Vintage, may lie in a part of Sarn no one really believes
exists - a distant island, mysteriously connected to the fate of
two legendary Eborans who disappeared long ago. But finding it will
mean a perilous journey in a time of war, while new monsters lie in
wait for those left behind. Join the heroes of THE NINTH RAIN as
they battle a terrible evil, the likes of which Sarn has never
known. What readers are saying about THE BITTER TWINS: 'The sequel
to the brilliant Ninth Rain kicks it up a notch with more action,
scarier monsters and a more expansive story' 'Be ready for some
great reveals and twists that may break your heart, but that will
overall leave you fist pumping the air' 'The world building
continues to blow my mind
