Trust No One: A Thriller – A Treacherous Hunt Across Europe to Unlock the Secret to Immortality
From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of international intrigue comes a shocking new stand-alone thriller that thrusts a group of university students, falsely accused of murder, into a treacherous hunt across Europe, all to unlock the secrets buried within a centuries-old book that could change humankind forever.
Knowledge can be magic—until it falls into the wrong hands.
The ritualistic murder of a British professor at the University of Exeter points to a startling cast of suspects: his own students. All are enrolled in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism.
All evidence points to Sharyn Karr—an American student. Prior to the professor’s death, he had thrust a centuries-old book upon her. It appears to be the handwritten and encrypted diary of an eighteenth-century mystic and occultist, the Comte de Saint-Germain. The professor begged her to keep the text safe, ending with a warning: Trust no one.
Such a responsibility forces her into cooperation with Duncan Maxwell, a fellow postgrad and the sixteenth in line to the British Crown. Already, Duncan has proven himself a savant with encryptions. Unfortunately, the pair clash at every level, but they both need one another. Especially when they discover the book’s opening words: Herein lies the secret to my immortality. Come find me, if you dare.
As dark forces close upon the pair, she and her friends are forced to flee, pursued by law enforcement and hunted by a powerful cabal. In an explosive chase across Europe—from the Tower of London to Parisian chateaus to a fortress in the Italian Alps—Sharyn must learn the true secret hidden in Saint-Germain’s text. It will send her and the others across history and deep into the heart of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a secret buried at the roots of Western Civilization, a discovery that could topple empires and change humanity forever.
For what lies at the end of Saint-Germain’s diary is as shocking as its opening words.

THE BLACK WEREWOLF OF DETROIT: An Urban Horror Novel
THE BLACK WEREWOLF OF DETROIT
An Urban Horror Novel
by Allison WoodsBy day, it walks like a man.
By night, it hunts the city.In the alleys behind abandoned buildings, beneath flickering streetlights and the hum of the city, something has been hunting—quietly, patiently, without mercy. People go missing. Sirens come too late. And the city keeps breathing.
Michael comes to Detroit with simple plans: to see his sister, to find work, to start over. He expects a hard city, not a hostile one. He doesn’t expect the fear that seems to cling to certain streets—or the stories no one tells out loud.
Michael never believed in monsters.
Not until one of them looked back at him.As brutal killings begin to surface and Detroit’s streets close in, the line between man and predator starts to blur. The city feels alive, watching, waiting—and the moon is watching him now.
Some horrors aren’t born in the dark.
They’re made there.
And survival demands a price.Gritty, brutal, and unflinchingly atmospheric, THE BLACK WEREWOLF OF DETROIT reimagines werewolf horror for the modern city—where monsters don’t lurk in forests, but in forgotten corners of concrete and steel.
This is not a story about heroes.
This is a story about what the city turns you into.Perfect for fans of:
- Urban horror with a dark psychological edge
- Werewolf stories grounded in realism
- Gritty, atmospheric novels where the city is a character
- Readers who enjoy horror that lingers long after the final page
When darkness falls, Detroit doesn’t sleep.
The hunt begins.Read more

Trojan Six: Part Five: A zombie apocalypse survival thriller (Trojan Six: Zombie apocalypse Series Book 5)
When the motorway became a graveyard, Birchanger Services was supposed to be safe.
Daniel Kerr reaches the M11 services at Bishop’s Stortford with Ellie Hales, two children, and police commander Rachel Doyle. The infection has not arrived yet. People are still eating. Still arguing. Still pretending the world outside can be outrun.
They are wrong.
When the infected reach the services, survival becomes brutal and intimate. Ammunition is scarce. Weapons are improvised. Death comes at arm’s length. As Kerr helps secure the building, a darker truth emerges. One of the dead was never infected.
Someone inside is killing.
What begins as a desperate stand against the undead turns into a nightmare of paranoia and violence as Kerr and Doyle hunt a murderer hiding among the survivors. When the wrong man is accused, the real killer reveals himself in the most terrifying way possible, triggering a hostage situation that collapses the last illusion of safety.
As the services are overrun and the infected pour inside, an unexpected figure intervenes. Corporal Jack Harker, a soldier who survived the collapse of the motorway, appears without warning and buys the group a chance to escape.
But survival has a cost.
Set during a single night of bloodshed and moral collapse, Trojan Six: Part Five is a relentless post-apocalyptic thriller that blends zombie horror, siege survival, and psychological tension. This is not a story about heroes. It is about who people become when the rules are gone.
Perfect for fans of gritty zombie fiction, British apocalypse settings, and fast-paced survival horror.

Worlds of Islam: A Global History
‘A brilliant and captivating work … There is simply no better book on Islam in history’ Eugene Rogan
From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age.
Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice.
As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

The Score: How to Stop Playing Someone Else’s Game (Audio Download): C. Thi Nguyen, C. Thi Nguyen, Penguin Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Brought to you by Penguin.
Is this the game you want to be playing?
Scoring systems are everywhere. Underpinning our daily lives – whether it’s the fit bits on our wrists, likes on social media, and even school rankings – they have become pervasive and increasingly dangerous, warping our desires and outsourcing our values to external institutions. Instead of encouraging us to be more playful, to take pleasure in the journey of striving towards a goal, institutions, corporations and bureaucracies weaponize scoring systems to impose their own interests. No matter what, we always seem to be playing by someone else’s rules.In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen shows us how this newly ‘gamified’ world has fundamentally captured our value systems, turning what might be moral or personal life choices into numerical data, and forcing us to prioritise what can be measured and monetized over what is truly meaningful to us.
A life-long lover of online and board games himself, Nguyen argues that we should not stop playing games but rather take a step back and become more aware of their immersive and profound power, so that we might chart a way towards more creative and joyful lives. To start playing our own game.

The Eights: The captivating debut historical novel following the first women to study at Oxford University
‘Entertaining and moving…I came to love these four women as though they were my sisters’ TRACY CHEVALIER
‘I ADORED it. What a fantastic read. My book of the year’ JILL MANSELL
–
They knew they were changing history.
They didn’t know they would change each other.Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its 1000-year history, the world’s most famous university has admitted female students. Giddy with dreams of equality, education and emancipation, four young women move into neighbouring rooms on Corridor Eight. They have come here from all walks of life, and they are thrown into an unlikely, life-affirming friendship.
Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Beatrice, politically-minded daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way – and her own friends – for the first time. Socialite Otto fills her room with extravagant luxuries but fears they won’t be enough to distract her from her memories of the war years. And quiet, clever, Marianne, the daughter of a village vicar, arrives bearing a secret she must hide from everyone – even The Eights – if she is to succeed.
But Oxford’s dreaming spires cast a dark shadow: in 1920, misogyny is still rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War are still very real indeed. And as the group navigate this tumultuous moment in time, their friendship will become more important than ever.
The Eights is a captivating debut novel about sisterhood, self-determination, courage, and what it means to come of age in a world that is forever changed.

Theology in Hymns?: A Study of the Relationship of Doxology and Theology According to A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists (1780)
Of the many hymnbooks published by John and Charles Wesley, the most important was A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists (1780). Taking this volume as a case study and concentrating on the Charles Wesley hymns included in it, Teresa Berger clarifies the relationship between the language of doxology of worship and praise of God and the substance of theological reflection. She identifies the central theological themes and emphases in this body of hymnody, and raises the question of how theology can be embodied in hymns. Central to her argument is the claim that the theological analysis of doxological material is possible only when it takes care to recognize and safeguard the characteristics, the criteria of authenticity, and the tests of authority and legitimacy peculiar to doxological language. Part One of the book sets the whole discussion within the context of a renewed interest in doxological and liturgical traditions across Christianity by showing how the relationship of doxology and theology is an important topic of theological discussion in Roman Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and ecumenical circles. Part Two is devoted to a thorough theological analysis of the central themes and images of the 1780 Collection. Part Three attempts to clarify the nature of doxology in its relation to theology.Read more

Half His Age: From the Sunday Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died
The highly anticipated, funny, sad, thrilling novel about sex, class, desire, and power – and the (often misguided) lengths we’ll go to to get what we want, from Jennette McCurdy, the three-million copy, Sunday Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died.
Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher.
Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesn’t? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does.
Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.

The Norman Conquest: The Battle of Hastings and the Fall of Anglo-Saxon England (Audio Download): Marc Morris, Frazer Douglas, Audible Studios: Amazon.co.uk: Books
A riveting and authoritative history of the single most important event in English history: The Norman Conquest.
An upstart French duke who sets out to conquer the most powerful and unified kingdom in Christendom. An invasion force on a scale not seen since the days of the Romans. One of the bloodiest and most decisive battles ever fought.
This new history explains why the Norman Conquest was the most significant cultural and military episode in English history. Assessing the original evidence at every turn, Marc Morris goes beyond the familiar outline to explain why England was at once so powerful and yet so vulnerable to William the Conqueror’s attack; why the Normans, in some respects less sophisticated, possessed the military cutting edge; how William’s hopes of a united Anglo-Norman realm unraveled, dashed by English rebellions, Viking invasions, and the insatiable demands of his fellow conquerors.
This is a tale of powerful drama, repression, and seismic social change: the Battle of Hastings itself; the sudden introduction of castles and the massive rebuilding of every major church; the total destruction of an ancient ruling class. Language, law, architecture, and even attitudes toward life itself were altered forever by the coming of the Normans.

Be More Bird: Life Lessons from a Hawk: Life Lessons from a Hawk (Audio Download): Candida Meyrick, William Collins: Amazon.co.uk: Audible Books & Originals
‘A small masterpiece, written with heart, self-belief and wisdom. Wonderful!’ PAUL THEROUX
A true story of Bird and writer Candida Meyrick, set on Anglesey – and a fable for us all to find a way to fly.
The twelve-week-old Harris Hawk, Sophia Houdini Whitewing – aka Bird – is trained over the following months by the author and her children to be most herself: a skilled hunter and dazzling aerial gymnast, whose flights enrapture the family and set the author on a deepening love affair with life on the wing.
Working with her Harris Hawk over the following years reveals a new world: confronting mortality daily, moving through a liminal landscape, part sky-, part earth-bound. And every day’s hunting brings a new life-lesson. Bird opens up a way of being that is everything the author most longs to be: courageous, compassionate, independent, full of joy – free as a bird.
Be More Bird charts this deepening relationship between bird and woman, set in one of Britain’s wildest landscapes. It reveals the subtle dynamic possible between human and bird, illuminating the ancient, worldwide art of falconry and its urgent relevance for the modern mind: the importance of untethering our souls and belief-systems and re-establishing a connection with the wilder world.
Structured around a series of ‘life lessons’, Be More Bird transports readers into the wildness hidden within themselves and to think profoundly about our connections with nature and our lives.
Be More Bird is a true story, still unfolding, of a wild predator who by choice flies in partnership with a woman as her earth-bound helper. Bird crosses boundaries: between species, cultures, sky and earth. In this way, Be More Bird is a fable for our times.
Dare to be more. Be more Bird.
