He's tall, dark and infernal. She's ready to be corrupted . . . A deliciously dark tale of Faustian bargains and seduction, Clara & the Devil is a graphic novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Masters of Death, Olivie Blake and fan-favourite artist Little Chmura. Clara thought she had the rest of her life figured out. But when an unusual tourist - tall, dark, and satanic - comes to town, Clara's careful plans start to unravel fast. She thought she'd graduate college with the support of her best friend, Jonah. Then she'd marry her adoring boyfriend, work at her local library and settle down in her small seaside hometown. But now things seem far from simple. And even while the stranger, who openly calls himself the devil, strikes up a situationship with Jonah, he continues to tempt Clara with reckless talk of power, ambition, and lust. Over the course of one sultry summer, tensions between Clara, Jonah and the devil mount to an intolerable degree. Clara is forced to confront the desires she's kept secret her whole life, even from herself. This mesmerizing, darkly romantic graphic novel kicks off a sultry series that explores artistry and power through the temptation of the seven deadly sins.

NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - FINALIST FOR THE 2025 WOMEN'S PRIZE - A fascinating meditation on freedom, trust, loss, and our relationship with the natural world, explored through the story of one woman's unlikely friendship with a wild hare. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, TIME, The Boston Globe, The Economist, Scientific American, Slate "Moving. . . . Impart[s] valuable lessons about slowing down and the beauty in the unexpected."--USA Today "A perfect testimony to the transformative power of love."--Margaret Renkl, author of The Comfort of Crows >In February 2021, Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare--a leveret--that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life, she brings it home, only to discover how difficult it is to rear a wild hare, most of whom perish in captivity from either shock or starvation. Through trial and error, she learns to feed and care for the leveret with every intention of returning it to the wilderness. Instead, it becomes her constant companion, wandering the fields and woods at night and returning to Dalton's house by day. Though Dalton feared that the hare would be preyed upon by foxes, weasels, feral cats, raptors, or even people, she never tried to restrict it to the house. Each time the hare leaves, Chloe knows she may never see it again. Yet she also understands that to confine it would be its own kind of death. Raising Hare chronicles their journey together while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares, and the way they have been viewed historically in art, literature, and folklore. We witness firsthand the joy at this extraordinary relationship between human and animal, which serves as a reminder that the best things, and most beautiful experiences, arise when we least expect them.

If only her journalist ex-boyfriend wasn't set on exposing what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman ever, wants to do everything right. Except his wife might be leaving, and he's losing his re-election campaign. Heading Wrenfare could relaunch his sinking ship. Eilidh was a world-famous ballerina, until a life-altering injury.

I wouldn't say my life is a dumpster fire-but it's far from typical. I'm frenemies with the local werewolves' Alpha, my clients are shady as hell, and my magic falls firmly in the WTF category. Mephisto, my mysterious and powerful client, is more interested in my magic than the jobs he's hired me for. And I'm pretty sure my court-ordered therapist thinks I'm an ass. Maybe it's not a dumpster fire, but it is a hot mess. That said, I'm good at my job. Anytime a curse goes wrong, a magical object is lost, or a rogue supernatural needs apprehending, I'm the person you call. My new assignment is supposed to be simple: Just find a coveted magical object. Instead my client is abducted, I'm pulled into the underbelly of the magical world, and a spell is cast on me that reveals a mark of the raven. Now I'm being hunted by the people I used to hunt. I've piqued the interest of the magical elite. And I don't know who wants me as an ally and who wants me dead. I have to fix this. Because if I don't, I won't survive. ~~~~ "This book was phenomenal! If you're a fan of Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series or Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series, you will LOVE this one! It's action-packed with a kick-butt heroine, supernatural powers, and solving a mystery for the greater good." ~~~Rainey Day Blog "This book has great characters, a good story that promises much more to come, great pace, action, humor, and definitely some sexual tension. " ~~~Goodreads Review "Every single character is shrouded in mystery and it made for quite the thrilling ride. This is an incredible start to a new UF series and a breath of fresh air in a genre that seems saturated with the same recycled formulas." ~~~Goodreads Review.

Deluxe limited edition features beautiful designed edges, color inside cover printing and cover flaps. This breathtaking collectible edition is only available on a limited first print run! "Exquisite and devastating. It won't fail to move you." -Shelley Parker-Chan, #1 bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun Inspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China, A Song to Drown Rivers is an epic novel steeped in myth about womanhood, war, sacrifice, and love against all odds as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in a delicate balance. Her beauty hides a deadly purpose. Xishi's beauty is seen as a blessing to the villagers of Yue-convinced that the best fate for a girl is to marry well and support her family. When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor, Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu, improve the lives of her people, and avenge her sister's murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy, seduce their immoral king, and weaken them from within. Trained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect blade. But she knows Fanli can see through every deception she masters, the attraction between them burning away any falsehoods. Once inside the enemy palace, Xishi finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king's advisors while the king himself shows her great affection. Despite his gentleness, a brutality lurks and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher Xishi climbs in the Wu court, the farther she and Fanli have to fall-and if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down. "Stunning and heart-rending." -Chloe Gong, #1 bestselling author of Immortal Longings

Where there's a will, there's a war. From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, magical realism meets Succession in Gifted & Talented. This is the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential. Thayer Wren is dead. As the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech, he leaves an incredible legacy. But which of his three children could inherit the Wrenfare throne? Meredith, head of her own profitable company, has recently (apparently) cured mental illness. If only her journalist ex-boyfriend wasn't set on exposing what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman ever, wants to do everything right. Except his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. Heading Wrenfare could relaunch his sinking ship. And Eilidh was a world-famous ballerina until a life-altering injury. But gaining control of the company might finally validate her worth. All three are telepathically and electrokinetically gifted. But in the pipeline from gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins.

"Exquisite and devastating. It won't fail to move you." -Shelley Parker-Chan, #1 bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun Inspired by the legend of Xishi, one of the famous Four Beauties of Ancient China, A Song to Drown Rivers is an epic novel steeped in myth about womanhood, war, sacrifice, and love against all odds as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in a delicate balance. Her beauty hides a deadly purpose. Xishi's beauty is seen as a blessing to the villagers of Yue-convinced that the best fate for a girl is to marry well and support her family. When Xishi draws the attention of the famous young military advisor, Fanli, he presents her with a rare opportunity: to use her beauty as a weapon. One that could topple the rival neighboring kingdom of Wu, improve the lives of her people, and avenge her sister's murder. All she has to do is infiltrate the enemy palace as a spy, seduce their immoral king, and weaken them from within. Trained by Fanli in everything from classical instruments to concealing emotion, Xishi hones her beauty into the perfect blade. But she knows Fanli can see through every deception she masters, the attraction between them burning away any falsehoods. Once inside the enemy palace, Xishi finds herself under the hungry gaze of the king's advisors while the king himself shows her great affection. Despite his gentleness, a brutality lurks and Xishi knows she can never let her guard down. But the higher Xishi climbs in the Wu court, the farther she and Fanli have to fall-and if she is unmasked as a traitor, she will bring both kingdoms down. "Stunning and heart-rending." -Chloe Gong, #1 bestselling author of Immortal Longings

'Heartfelt, poignant, properly gripping and laugh-out-loud funny' TOM ELLEN 'Sharp and witty' SUN 'A modern Bridget Jones' READER REVIEW 'Hilarious, chaotic, and full of heart' READER REVIEW ¿¿¿ When you've hit rock bottom, there's only one way to go. Becky's not exactly living her best life. Her mum is throwing her a twenty-ninth birthday party. She's still holding a torch for her ex, Max, who's moving in with his girlfriend. Her coupled-up best friends Dami and Angie can only talk about careers or Dami's upcoming wedding. When a younger, less experienced colleague is promoted over Becky, things surely can't sink lower. Until a tarot reading throws up the Death card and Becky leaps to the conclusion that the clock is ticking for her. There's only one thing to do: book a ticket to Bali to live it up in the time she has left. But not before she's drunkenly posted letters to her loved ones - less of a goodbye, more a chance to spill some 'home truths'. But the next day Becky's trip to Bali is off, and she realises perhaps she was a little overzealous in predicting her imminent demise. She thought her life couldn't get any worse, but now Becky's going to have to face everyone who knows just what she thinks of them ... ¿¿¿ Readers love P.S. You're The Worst: 'I loved this!

Where there's a will, there's a war. From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, magical realism meets Succession in Gifted & Talented. This is the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential. Thayer Wren is dead. As the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech, he leaves an incredible legacy. But which of his three children could inherit the Wrenfare throne? Meredith, head of her own profitable company, has recently (apparently) cured mental illness. If only her journalist ex-boyfriend wasn't set on exposing what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman ever, wants to do everything right. Except his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. Heading Wrenfare could relaunch his sinking ship. And Eilidh was a world-famous ballerina until a life-altering injury. But gaining control of the company might finally validate her worth. All three are telepathically and electrokinetically gifted. But in the pipeline from gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins. As they gather to read their father's final words, who will come out on top? Gifted & Talented is a compulsive story of family, twisted love and dangerous secrets from a writer at the peak of her powers.
