About the book
SheReads Best Historical Fiction Of Summer 2022!
"This is an intense, suspenseful, and insightful read about the challenges both women and doctors faced in the 19th century…Our heroine rises to the challenge with courage and determination." —Historical Novel Society
From the USA Today bestselling author of The Girl in His Shadow comes a riveting historical fiction novel about the women in medicine who changed the world forever.
Women's work is a matter of life and death.
Nora Beady, the only female student at a prestigious medical school in Bologna, is a rarity. In the 19th century women are expected to remain at home and raise children, so her unconventional, indelicate ambitions to become a licensed surgeon offend the men around her.
Everything changes when she allies herself with Magdalena Morenco, the sole female doctor on-staff. Together the two women develop new techniques to improve a groundbreaking surgery: the Cesarean section. It's a highly dangerous procedure and the research is grueling, but even worse is the vitriolic response from men. Most don't trust the findings of women, and many can choose to deny their wives medical care.
Already facing resistance on all sides, Nora is shaken when she meets a patient who will die without the surgery. If the procedure is successful, her work could change the world. But a failure could cost everything: precious lives, Nora's career, and the role women will be allowed to play in medicine.
Perfect for book clubs and for fans of Marie Benedict, Tracey Enerson Wood, and Sarah Penner comes a captivating celebration of women healthcare workers throughout history.

Our take
A deadly hunt returns every seven years, forcing gods to walk as mortals and inviting hunters to claim their power.

Choose your retailer
About the book
From the #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love, and redemption.
Every seven years, the Agon begins. As punishment for a past rebellion, nine Greek gods are forced to walk the earth as mortals. They are hunted by the descendants of ancient bloodlines, all eager to kill a god and seize their divine power and immortality.
Long ago, Lore Perseous fled that brutal world, turning her back on the hunt’s promises of eternal glory after her family was murdered by a rival line. For years she's pushed away any thought of revenge against the man—now a god—responsible for their deaths.
Yet as the next hunt dawns over New York City, two participants seek her out: Castor, a childhood friend Lore believed to be dead, and Athena, one of the last of the original gods, now gravely wounded.
The goddess offers an alliance against their mutual enemy and a way to leave the Agon behind forever. But Lore's decision to rejoin the hunt, binding her fate to Athena's, will come at a deadly cost—and it may not be enough to stop the rise of a new god with the power to bring humanity to its knees.

Berlin, 1944. Bombs fall from above. A killer stalks the streets below.

Caught between a deadly investigation and his own survival, Oppenheimer walks a razor’s edge in a collapsing city where no one can be trusted and justice is just another lie.
As the Reich crumbles and the body count rises, the line between hunter and hunted fades. Solving the case might save lives. It might also sign his death warrant.
Harald Gilbers delivers a gripping noir where history’s darkest hour meets one man’s fight for redemption and survival.

About the book
By 1921, Winston Churchill was a political wreck in the wake of the Dardanelles disaster, written off as reckless and spent. But history wasn’t finished with him yet.
In Oblivion or Glory, acclaimed historian David Stafford reveals how one unexpected inheritance and a whirlwind of political maneuvering revived Churchill’s career. Across tense negotiations for the Anglo-Irish Treaty and shadowy intrigue involving his scandalous cousin Clare Sheridan, an artist and suspected Soviet sympathizer, Churchill rebuilt his public standing and redefined his legacy.
This overlooked year crackles with personal drama, imperial politics, and the first threads of the leader Churchill would become.
Long before wartime speeches and bulldog determination, there was 1921: a turning point between disgrace and destiny.
