About the book
From debut author Hadeer Elsbai comes the first book in an incredibly powerful new duology, set wholly in a new world, but inspired by modern Egyptian history, about two young women—Nehal, a spoiled aristocrat used to getting what she wants and Giorgina, a poor bookshop worker used to having nothing—who find they have far more in common, particularly in their struggle for the rights of women and their ability to fight for it with forbidden elemental magic
As a waterweaver, Nehal can move and shape any water to her will, but she’s limited by her lack of formal education. She desires nothing more than to attend the newly opened Weaving Academy, take complete control of her powers, and pursue a glorious future on the battlefield with the first all-female military regiment. But her family cannot afford to let her go—crushed under her father’s gambling debt, Nehal is forcibly married into a wealthy merchant family. Her new spouse, Nico, is indifferent and distant and in love with another woman, a bookseller named Giorgina.
Giorgina has her own secret, however: she is an earthweaver with dangerously uncontrollable powers. She has no money and no prospects. Her only solace comes from her activities with the Daughters of Izdihar, a radical women’s rights group at the forefront of a movement with a simple goal: to attain recognition for women to have a say in their own lives. They live very different lives and come from very different means, yet Nehal and Giorgina have more in common than they think. The cause—and Nico—brings them into each other’s orbit, drawn in by the group’s enigmatic leader, Malak Mamdouh, and the urge to do what is right.
But their problems may seem small in the broader context of their world, as tensions are rising with a neighboring nation that desires an end to weaving and weavers. As Nehal and Giorgina fight for their rights, the threat of war looms in the background, and the two women find themselves struggling to earn—and keep—a lasting freedom.

When a brutal attack shatters the fragile peace she's found, Kira is forced into a deadly confrontation. Torn between protecting the people she loves and securing her own future, Kira must confront the true meaning of sacrifice—or risk becoming another victim of Vita Nova’s cruel justice.

THE ASTONISHING INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER
“An extraordinary historical romance . . . One of the best to date.” Chicago Sun-Times
England, 1635. Ten-year-old Thomazine Heron’s life is shattered when a deadly illness robs her of her father and brother, leaving her an orphan and heiress. Torn from her beloved home and sent to live with distant relatives at the grand Goldhayes estate in Suffolk, Thomazine must adjust to a new world of unfamiliar faces, rigid expectations, and buried secrets
"I had been reared in an independent spirit, you see, and I took against being pushed hither and thither like a backgammon counter."
As she comes of age during the turbulent years leading to the English Civil War, Thomazine’s journey is one of transformation—from spirited child to determined young woman, fiercely loyal to those she loves and unwilling to submit to the dictates of society. In a world where family ties are tested and political allegiances are shifting, she finds strength, friendship, and the first stirrings of forbidden love.
As Thomazine grows into young womanhood at Goldhayes, amidst the tightening grip of civil unrest, her path crosses with that of Francis Heron—her cousin by blood, but her equal in spirit. What begins as childhood camaraderie deepens over the years into a bond laced with tension, loyalty, and a love neither of them dares name. In a time when duty and bloodlines dictate fate, Thomazine finds herself torn between the world she was born into and the one her heart longs to claim.
"I shall just refuse. There's little they can do to me, and whatever they do can't last forever. I'm a Heron, you see, and our motto is 'No surrender'."
The Moon in the Water is the powerful first volume in The Heron Saga, perfect for fans of Sharon Penman, Philippa Gregory, and Diana Gabaldon.

About the book
A woman must keep her family—and her terrifying secrets—safe in a twisting thriller by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.
Camille Prescott has it all. A doting husband, two children, a charming home in a seaside enclave, and a beautiful, fixed smile that exudes normalcy. But behind her polished mask lurks a much different Camille—one with a padlocked vault of secrets. Raised by a vindictive and psychotic woman, Camille has gone to great lengths to bury her past and for good reason: if her mother ever finds her, she will kill her.
But nothing can prepare Camille for the day her six-year-old daughter, Georgie, starts showing signs of unsettlingly familiar behavior, including an imaginary new friend who casts a disturbing influence on everything the little girl says and does. Worse than that, Georgie’s imaginary friend knows things about Camille’s childhood, things Camille has never told a soul. Is it a coincidence or is Georgie’s imaginary friend not so fictional after all?
As the family’s stability cracks, so does Camille’s facade, because the past isn’t just coming for her and everyone she loves—it’s already here.

Choose your retailer
About the book
The Hugo Award–winning author of Spin, praised as "a hell of a storyteller" by Stephen King, gives time travel his own mind-bending twist . . .
Two events made September 1st a memorable day for Jesse Cullum. First, he lost a pair of Oakley sunglasses. Second, he saved the life of President Ulysses S. Grant.
In the near future of Robert Charles Wilson's Last Year, the technology exists to open doorways into the past—but not our past, not exactly. Each "past" is effectively an alternate world, identical to ours but only up to the date on which we access it. And a given "past" can only be reached once. After a passageway is open, it's the only road to that particular past; once closed, it can't be reopened.
A passageway has been opened to a version of late 19th-century Ohio. It's been in operation for most of a decade, but it's no secret, on either side of time. A small city has grown up around it to entertain visitors from our time, and many locals earn a good living catering to them. But like all such operations, it has a shelf life; as the "natives" become more sophisticated, their version of the "past" grows less attractive as a destination.
Jesse Cullum is a native. And he knows the passageway will be closing soon. He's fallen in love with a woman from our time, and he means to follow her back—no matter whose secrets he has to expose in order to do it.
"Wilson's prose is beautifully constructed in this intelligent and gripping novel." —Chicago Review of Books

Choose your retailer
About the book
Welcome to Foxwood Hollow. In a world of fox shifters sits a small, quaint town where everyone knows your business. Often stifling, always safe, and forever a place to call home.
Dylan
Axel is the love of my life; he just doesn’t know it yet.
Ten out of ten do not recommend spending your formative years pining after an alpha who’s your brother’s best friend. But alas, here we are.
My only solution is to leave Foxwood Hollow and start afresh. So what do I do when I have no choice but to return home, only to realise all of those years and miles haven’t doused the flame?
Axel
He’s your best friend’s little brother. He’s your best friend’s little brother.
It was a mantra I’d repeated to myself for years, ever since my brain had shifted from omega smells good to omega smells like mine.
I’m happy for Dylan when he leaves Foxwood Hollow to chase his dreams. I always knew he was destined for a life larger than this little town can offer him. But I feel his absence like a gaping chasm, and the silence that follows has my alpha instincts going into overdrive.
When Dylan finally comes home, a lot has changed. But the soul-deep longing is as present as ever.
Can I really let him slip through my fingers again?

About the book
"I devoured this book... The hero was...tough and strong and treated Tera with respect even when she couldn't find it in herself to accept him, but he was brutal and continued to be brutal. He was a warlord, not a courtier, and he was very consistent in his behavior. I loved that, all the characters were true to themselves." Romance Junky Review
