About the book
“Heartbreaking… I could not put it down… Amazing… Broke my heart into tiny little pieces. As my tears ran down my face and my heartrate increased, I was holding my breath… I loved everything about this.” Page Turners
1944, Germany. Louise struggles down from the cattle car, stumbling on the platform as guards shout harsh threats to keep moving. Blinking at the rows of terrified women, hope drains from her heart as her sister’s warnings ring in her ears…
Passing through the foreboding camp gates, Louise is pointed one way with the other women branded as political prisoners. As she trips after them, her possessions stripped away, all she can think about are the faces of the people she’s left behind—her sister Marie, and the man she’s barely had a chance to love yet, William.
When she started working with the resistance to smuggle allied soldiers out of occupied Paris, she knew she was risking everything. That if she was caught, she could be sent somewhere like this. But she couldn’t have known her work would lead her to fall in love. Hiding American airforceman William in her basement, she’d gotten to know him, sharing stories over candlelight, fingers brushing and heart opening.
But in trying to keep the love of her life safe, she’d been torn away from him anyway. Standing awaiting the next order, freezing cold and trembling in terror, her mind turns over the horrors she’s heard await her and the women softly crying beside her.
Will she ever hug her sister and look into William’s bright blue eyes again? And will the fighting spirit that first led her to the resistance allow her to find a way to survive the darkest place she’s ever faced?
A heart-wrenching, emotional and inspiring World War Two page-turner about sacrifice in the name of love, and the power of hope in the darkest of places. Fans of The Nightingale, The Midwife of Auschwitz and The Choice won’t be able to put this down.

About the book
From the best-selling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait comes a spellbinding novel of two women connected across fifty years by art, love, betrayals, secrets, and motherhood.
"An exquisitely sensual tale of love, motherhood, and other forms of madness, The Hand That First Held Mine will unsettle, move, and haunt you." —Emma Donoghue, author of Room
Lexie Sinclair is plotting an extraordinary life for herself.
Hedged in by her parents' genteel country life, she plans her escape to London. There, she takes up with Innes Kent, a magazine editor who introduces her to the thrilling, underground world of bohemian, post-war Soho. She learns to be a reporter, to know art and artists, to embrace her life fully and with a deep love at the center of it. And when she finds herself pregnant, she doesn't hesitate to have the baby on her own.
Later, in present-day London, a young painter named Elina dizzily navigates the first weeks of motherhood. She doesn't recognize herself: she finds herself walking outside with no shoes; she goes to the restaurant for lunch at nine in the morning; she can't recall the small matter of giving birth. But for her boyfriend, Ted, fatherhood is calling up lost memories, with images he cannot place.
As Ted's memories become more disconcerting and more frequent, it seems that something might connect these two stories—these two women—something that becomes all the more heartbreaking and beautiful as they all hurtle toward its revelation.
Praised by The Washington Post as a “breathtaking, heart-breaking creation,” The Hand That First Held Mine is a gorgeous and tenderly wrought story about the ways in which love and beauty bind us together. It is a gorgeous inquiry into the ways we make and unmake our lives, who we know ourselves to be, and how even our most accidental legacies connect us.

About the book
NO ONE ESCAPES THE HOLLER—AND WHAT HUNTS IN THE HILLS HAS TEETH.
Greg Gallogly swore he’d never go back. Leaving his Kentucky hometown meant escaping the violence, the curse, and the monsters buried in its past. But when his brother’s stolen bike turns up in a gang-run chop shop, one reckless decision drags him and Tanya—a sharp-tongued drifter with her own ghosts—into a fight that leads straight back to Haint’s Hollow.
Sheriff Hunter Gallogly thought the nightmare ended with the mine collapse. He was wrong. A badly burned man has been found alive in a wolves’ den, and bodies are piling up again in the mountains. Whatever haunts the holler isn’t finished—and this time, it’s hunting the Gallogly family.
As lawmen, outlaws, and something far darker collide, Greg and Hunter are pulled into a blood feud that stretches from the backroads to the grave.
Holler is a brutal Appalachian horror tale of family, vengeance, and survival—perfect for fans of Stephen King’s ’Salem’s Lot, Brian Keene, and grim rural noir.

About the book
When a grumpy billionaire with a PR problem meets a sunny chaos queen with a heart of gold, who's really the one in need of saving?
I’m Damien Langley—billionaire, control freak, and, according to the press, a heartless corporate monster.
After one out-of-context quote torches my reputation and puts an important client account in jeopardy, my board forces me into PR rehab: smile for the cameras, volunteer at a feel-good charity, pretend to be human.
Enter Willow Harper.
She runs Silver Hearts, a senior care organization held together by optimism, duct tape, and sheer determination. She’s sunshine in human form, my polar opposite—and somehow makes me want to stay even after the cameras stop rolling.
What starts as damage control spirals into something real: burger dive dates, emergency kitchen repairs, and a kiss that hits harder than it should.
She doesn’t fit into my world… but suddenly, my world doesn’t work without her.
Too bad I’m also locked in a secret million-dollar bet with five of my billionaire buddies.
Stay single. No falling in love. Winner takes all.
And Willow?
One more night with her in my bed and I’ll lose the bet, the client account, and the heart I swore I didn’t have.

About the book
"Exquisite" (Lisa Barr, New York Times best-selling author of Woman on Fire) and "utterly engrossing" (Katherine Gray, cohost of the Netflix series Blown Away), The Color of Ice will wrap you in its spell, all the way to its unforgettable ending.
Set among the glaciers and thermal lagoons of Iceland, and framed by the magical art of glassblowing, The Color of Ice is the breathtaking story of a woman's awakening to passion, beauty, and the redemptive power of unconditional love.
The stunning new novel by the author of award-winning novels Queen of the Owls and The Sound Between the Notes . . .
Cathryn McAllister, a freelance photographer, travels to Iceland for a photo shoot with an enigmatic artist who wants to capture the country's iconic blue icebergs in glass. Her plan is to head out, when the job is done, on a carefully curated "best of Iceland" solo vacation. Widowed young, Cathryn has raised two children while achieving professional success. If the price of that efficiency has been the dimming of her fire—well, she hasn't let herself think about it. Until now.
Bit by bit, Cathryn abandons her itinerary to remain with Mack, the glassblower, who awakens a hunger for all the things she's told herself she doesn't need anymore. Passion. Vulnerability. Risk. Cathryn finds herself torn between the life—and self—she's come to know and the new world Mack offers. Commitments await her back in America. But if she walks away, she'll lose this chance to feel deeply again. Just when her path seems clear, she's faced with a shocking discovery—and a devastating choice that shows her what love really is.

About the book
“Charlie is a vibrant writer with an excellent voice and great world building. I thoroughly enjoyed the Paper Magician.” —Brandon Sanderson, author of Mistborn and The Way of Kings
Ceony Twill arrives at the cottage of Magician Emery Thane with a broken heart. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Tagis Praff School for the Magically Inclined, Ceony is assigned an apprenticeship in paper magic despite her dreams of bespelling metal. And once she’s bonded to paper, that will be her only magic…forever.
Yet the spells Ceony learns under the strange yet kind Thane turn out to be more marvelous than she could have ever imagined—animating paper creatures, bringing stories to life via ghostly images, even reading fortunes. But as she discovers these wonders, Ceony also learns of the extraordinary dangers of forbidden magic.
An Excisioner—a practitioner of dark, flesh magic—invades the cottage and rips Thane’s heart from his chest. To save her teacher’s life, Ceony must face the evil magician and embark on an unbelievable adventure that will take her into the chambers of Thane’s still-beating heart—and reveal the very soul of the man.
From the imaginative mind of debut author Charlie N. Holmberg, The Paper Magician is an extraordinary adventure both dark and whimsical that will delight readers of all ages.

Our take
Inside a Nazi maternity home, three women are drawn into a brutal experiment disguised as duty.

Cradles of the Reich is a chilling, deeply researched historical novel praised for its power and compassion.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Every historical fiction novel should strive to be this compelling, well-researched and just flat-out good." — Associated Press
For fans of The Nightingale and The Handmaid's Tale, Cradles of the Reich uncovers a topic rarely explored in fiction: the Lebensborn project, a Nazi breeding program to create a so-called master race. Through thorough research and with deep empathy, this chilling historical novel goes inside one of the Lebensborn Society maternity homes that existed in several countries during World War II, where thousands of "racially fit" babies were bred and taken from their mothers to be raised as part of the new Germany.
At the Heim Hochland maternity home in Bavaria, three women's lives coverage as they find themselves there under very different circumstances. Gundi is a pregnant university student from Berlin. An Aryan beauty, she's secretly a member of a resistance group. Hilde, only eighteen, is a true believer in the cause and is thrilled to carry a Nazi official's child. And Irma, a 44-year-old nurse, is desperate to build a new life for herself after personal devastation. Despite their opposing beliefs, all three have everything to lose as they begin to realize they are trapped within Hitler's terrifying scheme to build a Nazi-Aryan nation.
A cautionary tale for modern times told in stunning detail, Cradles of the Reich uncovers a little-known Nazi atrocity but also carries an uplifting reminder of the power of women to set aside differences and work together in solidarity in the face of oppression.
"Skillfully researched and told with great care and insight, here is a World War II story whose lessons should not—must not—be forgotten." — Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Nature of Fragile Things
