But Henry wants a son.
And he desperately wants Anne Boleyn.When the king demands an annulment – claiming their marriage was never valid – Catherine faces an impossible choice: accept a comfortable exile and declare her daughter illegitimate, or fight for the truth no matter the cost.

A mother’s love. A queen’s dignity. A faith that sustains her when everything else is taken.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, this Tudor novella is a powerful portrait of courage, conviction, and a woman who refused to be erased from history. Though this book can be read as a standalone, it is part of a series of strong Tudor women and is meant to be a short escape.

Unlock Your Power: A seven-step system to break inner limits and rewrite your future in 2026
A practical, powerful guide to break old patterns, rewire your energy, and step into your next-level future ― no hustle required.
Discover the internal patterns that have been quietly running your life and learn how to take control of what comes next.
Do you:
- Say yes when you really mean no?
- Hold back even when you feel ready for more?
- Sense there’s a bigger version of your life waiting, but feel unsure how to reach it?
That’s not you failing and you’re definitely not broken. Those are subconscious patterns doing what they once learned to do: keeping you safe, accepted, and loved. They were helpful once but are limiting now.
These patterns aren’t your intuition. They’re habitual loops that quietly keep you playing small and stuck at the same level. But here’s the good news: once you can spot a pattern, you can change it. And when you change the pattern, you get to choose a new direction.
Spot the pattern. Shift the power.
In Unlock Your Power, Poppy Delbridge shows you how to uncover the patterns shaping your choices and how to consciously step into your next-level future.
Blending neuroscience, energy work and identity transformation, Unlock Your Power offers a clear, seven-step framework to help you break unhelpful habits, rewire emotional responses and start choosing what you actually want, not what you’ve been conditioned to settle for.
As you work through the book, you’ll begin to feel:
- Less overwhelmed
- More space and clarity in your mind
- More confident in your decisions
- Less reactive to stress
- More aligned with who you’re becoming
- More like yourself, only expanded
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about upgrading how you operate. If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and step into your next level with clarity and confidence, Unlock Your Power gives you both the spark and the structure to make that shift real.
The life you want isn’t waiting for you to earn it. It’s waiting for you to choose it.
Reclaim your energy. Unlock your power.

Out Law: A Dresden Files Novella (Audio Download): Jim Butcher, James Marsters, Podium Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Books
The past comes back in a big way for Chicago’s only professional wizard in this action-packed novella from the #1 New York Times–bestselling Dresden Files.
In a city that’s just beginning to recover from the devastation caused by the Battle of Chicago, Harry Dresden is finally pulling himself together as well. He’s ensconced in his own personal castle, healing his various wounds, and training an eager new apprentice. The last thing he wants is any trouble. But, as history has consistently—and quite annoyingly—shown, what Harry wants is rarely what Harry gets.
It starts with a visit from Harry’s most powerful frenemy, Gentleman John Marcone, Baron of Chicago. He needs Harry to assist in the redemption of an underling who’s looking to go straight. And since Harry does kinda sorta owe Marcone for saving his life once (stupid honorable debt!), it’s not a request he can refuse. He’ll just wish he had.
Because this little favor is going to drag Harry into a fight he doesn’t want on behalf of a lowlife he doesn’t trust against an enemy more powerful and pestilent than he ever could’ve expected: an insatiable, demonic foe whom Harry himself may have created when he wiped out the vampires of the Red Court so long ago.
Before, all it wanted was blood. Now it wants the entire world . . .

‘Fantastic, a must-read for rugby fans’ Ben Youngs
‘Invaluable – a brilliant resource for anyone interested in rugby’ Bernard Jackman______________________________
Does it matter which foot your fly-half kicks with? How can teams win matches when the clock stops? Why don’t wingers actually play on the wing? Does having more possession increase a team’s chances of winning?
Leading data analyst Sam Larner lifts the lid on international rugby, using his decade of experience at the professional level to reveal the tactical and data revolution that has taken the sport by storm. Sharing ground-breaking insight into the modern game, Sam explores the exciting innovations players and clubs are currently using to improve their gameplay. He analyses the metrics by which teams succeed and fail in their attempts to win metres, tries and matches, as well as why recent law changes are so important for rugby’s development and what a data-driven future holds for the sport.
With each chapter focusing on a different match, such as France facing the All Blacks in 2023 and Wales’ remarkable comeback against England at the 2008 Six Nations, Attacking the Space is revolutionary in its approach as the first book to tackle rugby’s new obsession with data and tactics. It takes readers on a fascinating tour of modern rugby to offer a twenty-first century overview of one of the world’s most exciting sports. This is rugby as you’ve never seen it before.

The Castle (Audio Download): Jon Ronson, Jon Ronson, Penguin: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Brought to you by Penguin.
The million-copy bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed and the award-winning BBC podcast Things Fell Apart moves to Penguin for his first book in eleven years, a darkly comic true crime mystery set within the masculinity crisis, The Castle.
I honestly have no clue what is going on.
This is very weird.
We left. Was completely fucked. All good now.When Jon Ronson received a series of disquieting texts after his son Joel had been lured to a mysterious castle in the forests of New England under false pretences late one evening, it set Ronson Sr. off on an extraordinary adventure into a world of unmoored men on a desperate search for purpose, whatever the cost.
Why did the wealthy scion of a gilded age tycoon entice Jon’s son to his castle on the pretext of a party, when the reality was something else entirely? Could Jon uncover what was really going on inside that strange castle? Why was a popular online lawncare influencer wrongly implicated in a bizarre plot to traumatize millions of unsuspecting children? And, more pressingly, why are two recently paroled murderers on their way to pay Jon an ominous visit?
Against the backdrop of the sometimes moving, often disturbing masculinity crisis, Jon follows the trail of those men who are acting out, checked out or just plain out of time. Drawing on his trademark brand of humour, psychological insight and unrivalled prescience, and told in the riveting style of a true crime thriller, The Castle marks Jon Ronson’s triumphant return to the written page in his darkest and most wildly enjoyable journey yet – deep into the recesses of the Castle and the secret lives of men.
PRAISE FOR JON RONSON:
