In the brutal world of imperial Rome, survival is a game of strategy, ambition, and blood. Agrippina, granddaughter of Augustus, knows this all too well. Her imperial lineage is as dangerous as it is prestigious—one wrong move could mean exile, execution, or the loss of her infant son, Nero.
As Emperor Tiberius’s paranoia grows and his reign inches toward its end, Agrippina’s exiled brother Caligula stands next in line, bringing her closer to the center of power. But every step forward means facing ruthless senators, scheming rivals, and silver-tongued pretenders who will stop at nothing to rise.
Conn Iggulden’s Nero launches a gripping new trilogy about the rise of Rome’s most notorious emperor, and the mother who would stop at nothing to shape his destiny.

In the House in the Dark of the Woods
Horror · Historical Literary Fiction
Our take
A woman vanishes into the colonial woods and the line between escape and enchantment begins to blur. In In the House in the Dark of the Woods, a Puritan wife wanders deeper into a forest filled with strange encounters and unsettling transformations. As memory, guilt, and folklore intertwine, this lyrical psychological horror traces a haunting journey through witchcraft, identity, and the darker impulses hiding beneath faith and obedience.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The eerie, disturbing story of one of our perennial fascinations -- witchcraft in colonial America -- wrapped up in a lyrical novel of psychological suspense.
"Once upon a time there was and there wasn't a woman who went to the woods." In this horror story set in colonial New England, a law-abiding Puritan woman goes missing. Or perhaps she has fled or abandoned her family. Or perhaps she's been kidnapped, and set loose to wander in the dense woods of the north. Alone and possibly lost, she meets another woman in the forest. Then everything changes.
On a journey that will take her through dark woods full of almost-human wolves, through a deep well wet with the screams of men, and on a living ship made of human bones, our heroine may find that the evil she flees has been inside her all along.
In the House in the Dark of the Woods is a novel of psychological horror and suspense told in Laird Hunt's characteristically lyrical prose style. It is the story of a bewitching, a betrayal, a master huntress and her quarry. It is a story of anger, of evil, of hatred and of redemption. It is the story of a haunting, a story that makes up the bedrock of American mythology, told in a vivid way you will never forget.

About the book
“Look, you’re a nice girl but I don’t think we should see each other anymore.” The voicemail ends and I freeze in the dentist’s chair as I realize… I’ve just been dumped on live radio.
It took the most humiliating break-up for me to see that my life is in serious need of a do-over. Cue my anti New Year’s resolutions that even I can’t fail at:
- Stop dating. (Men are the worst.)
- Stop trying to lose weight. (I’m never giving up chocolate.)
- Stop working so hard. (Selling mortgages is not my dream career.)
- Stop trying to live up to unrealistic expectations. (Start living my best life.)
- Stop trying to please my mother. (It’s not possible.)
But it turns out number five is harder than I thought, as she begins her campaign to get me back with my ex. So, what’s the perfect solution to keep her out of my love life? An imaginary boyfriend—at least he was supposed to be imaginary until I blurted out my neighbor’s name…
Nate, the bad boy next door with gorgeous hazel eyes, a razor-sharp jawline and a mysterious scar, might be hot, but he’s definitely not my boyfriend. Now all I need to do is stick to my resolutions while also keeping my interfering family away from my non-existent lover who has no idea that we’re fake dating. What could possibly go wrong?
A completely addictive, feel-good rom-com perfect for fans of TikTok sensations The Love Hypothesis, The Unhoneymooners, and Sarah Adams. An absolutely hilarious page-turner for anyone who feels they need to start living life to the fullest.
