Brilliantly paced, lit with sparks of danger and underlying menace, these are dazzling, provocative stories about Svengali men, and radical women who outmanoeuvre them, about destructive marriages and curdled friendships, about mothers and sons, about moments which change or haunt a life. Alice Munro takes on complex, even harrowing emotions and events, and renders them into stories that surprise, amaze and shed light on the unpredictable ways we accommodate to what happens in our lives. A wife and mother, whose spirit has been crushed, finds release from her extraordinary pain in the most unlikely place. The young victim of a humiliating seduction (which involves reading Housman in the nude) finds an unusual way to get her own back and move on. An older woman, dying of cancer, weaves a poisonous story to save her life. Other stories uncover the 'deep holes' in marriage and their consequences, the dangerous intimacy of girls and the cruelty of children. The long title story follows Sophia Kovalevsky, a late nineteenth-century Russian emigree and mathematical genius, as she takes a fateful winter journey that begins with a visit to her lover on the Riviera, and ends in Sweden, where she is a professor at the only university willing to hire a woman to teach her subject. Munro's unsettling stories turn lives into art, expand our world and our understanding of the strange workings of the human heart.

Guy Gavriel Kay, bestselling author of the groundbreaking novels Under Heaven and River of Stars, once again visits a world that evokes one that existed in our own past, this time the tumultuous period of Renaissance Europe - a world on the verge of war, where ordinary lives play out in the grand scheme of kingdoms colliding. From the small coastal town of Senjan, notorious for its pirates , a young woman sets out to find vengeance for her lost family. That same spring, from the wealthy city-state of Seressa, famous for its canals and lagoon, come two very different people: a young artist traveling to the dangerous east to paint the Grand Khalif at his request - and possibly to do more - and a fiercely intelligent, angry woman, posing as a doctor's wife in her role of a spy. The trading ship that carries them is commanded by the clever younger son of a merchant family - with ambivalence about the life he's been born to live. And farther east a boy trains to become a soldier in the elite infantry of the khalif - to win glory in the war everyone knows is coming. As these lives entwine, their fates-and those of many others - will hang in the balance, when the khalif sends out his massive army to take the great fortress that is the gateway to the western world . . .

She is my greatest fear, my deepest regret, and my innermost longing. Lilian I checked every box there is in life: Forbes 30 Under 30, Tech Innovator, Top Female CEO, and the title claiming me the wealthiest woman on the planet. Others call me cold and calculating, but I know I earned a place at the table. Until everything falls apart with the death of my co-founder. Suddenly, I am hunted. The dark secrets that were supposed to stay hidden behind my perfect, curated mask threaten to surface and drown me. And then I met her. The woman, who saves my life, and changes everything. Everything. Kat If you ask me who I am, I would tell you I am a ghost that strikes from the shadows. I kill. For revenge. For equalizing. For justice. I never had much regard for those who use and abuse others for their own profit, not back then, not now. And nothing will ever change that. Until one day, I meet her. Wealthy. Greedy. Predatory. And my number one target. Only my heart, the one I never thought I had, has other plans. A sapphic love story between two powerful women, dangerous, destructive, obsessive, calculating. Please note: The story contains very dark and possibly triggering topics and themes, including psychopathic behavior, descriptive smut, and kinky scenes.
