BLOOD OF STONE A secret twin kidnapped by a Faerie king . . . Hunting down the rogue vampire who killed her mother is Petra Maguire's sole mission in life, despite her father’s urging to serve her people back home in Faerie. But when Petra discovers she has a changeling twin who’s been kidnapped, she can’t avoid Faerie affairs any longer. Plunging back into a world of magic, royalty, and power plays, her daring rescue of her sister pushes inter-kingdom hostilities to a tipping point. And suddenly, Petra is up to her eyeballs in Fae politics. Tensions erupt into a threat of all-out war, and the only way to settle matters is for Petra to enter a battle of champions—a fight to the death. Find out what fate awaits Petra Maguire in Blood of Stone by Jayne Faith, the new urban fantasy hit for fans of Sarah J Maas, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, and Jim Butcher. MAGIC CURRENTS In The Colony where the Demon Lord devours the hearts of witches to feed his power, a woman’s magic must stay hidden . . . The Demon Lord claimed Victoria’s mother and fiance years ago. Now she’s living her life raising six orphan girls and trying to conceal her magical abilities before the Demon Lord claims her next. But then a handsome but foul-mouthed, bad-tempered stranger begins following her, any hope of avoiding the same fate as her mother is shattered. Lorenzo, a surly fallen angel, knows how to end the Demon Lord’s tyranny, but he was betrayed by the last witch who vowed to help him. Despite his grudge against witches, he knows Victoria is the key to breaking the curse of the Watchtower, and he needs her water magic to finish the job. There’s only one problem: his plan to take down the watchtower could kill hundreds of innocent people in the process, and Victoria can’t let that happen. But if they don’t break the curse, the Colony will be condemned to a fate worse than death: another hundred years of the Demon Lord’s cruel reign. A futuristic fairy tale that will keep you up reading all night!

A genuinely new Second World War story, The 21 Escapes of Lt Alastair Cram by David M. Guss is a riveting account of the wartime exploits of the Scotsman. It is a tale of courage in the face of extraordinary odds and a testament to one man's dogged determination never to give up. ‘The greatest serial escaper of the Second World War’ – The Times 'Endlessly fascinating. Cram's story sizzles with adventure' – Giles Milton, Sunday Times In November 1941 Lt Alastair Cram was taken prisoner in North Africa as a devastating tank battle unfolded as Operation Crusader struggled to relieve Tobruk. His capture began a four year-long odyssey as he passed through twelve different POW camps, three Gestapo prisons and one asylum. Determined to regain his freedom, he became a serial escapee fleeing his captors no fewer than twenty-one times. The most dramatic of these attempts was from Gavi, the ‘Italian Colditz’. This maximum-security prison built inside a thousand year old stone fortress was for the pericolosi, those classified as the ‘most dangerous’ prisoners due to their unrelenting desire to escape. It was here that Alastair met David Stirling, the legendary founder of the SAS, and cooked up the plan for the ‘Cistern Tunnel’, one of the most audacious but little-known mass escape attempts of the entire war. ______________ 'Fascinating' – Daily Express 'An enthralling portrait of true courage' Sunday Express S Magazine
