From the New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series 

I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.

Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.

Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.

Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen.
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
 
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.

Alexa is discovering that her whole life has been a lie. As her nineteenth birthday approaches, her true identity is revealed. The incredible world of witchcraft and Otherworlds come to light. Pulled into a prophecy centuries old, her existence takes a turn for the surreal. As well as having to save all worlds, the choice of who to love is presumably not hers.

Unknowingly drawn into a union with Aidan, the prince of Eruva, Alexa cannot help but be attracted to his younger, carefree brother Liam.
With her destiny set centuries ago, can she save the worlds by forging her own path, or is she fighting the inevitable in love and destruction.

This is a story of one family in France after the war, but it is also a story of universal significance. The young Englishman, Adam Hartley, goes back to visit the scene of a war-time friendship with the local Resistance leader. On his way a conversation overheard in an inn arouses him to a shocked realisation that peace has not brought, and cannot bring, the peace of forgetfulness to France. Enmities, bitterness, and vengeance are the aftermath of the Occupation.

"Is it better to cover things up, to stifle suspicion, to rebuild life on foundations which may be rotten? Or is it better to establish the truth, whatever the consequences, to inflict just retribution on those who have done evil, and to avenge the dead? This is the profound problem which Miss Storm Jameson explores through the personalities of this group of fully realised characters. The story, exciting in itself, is told with swift economy. It is very carefully wrought; the best constructed, I think, of all the author’s work."

He put an ace in the hole.

New Orleans is a hot mess.

Ancient feuds. Demonic forces bent on destruction. Oh, and apparently vampires are real. Della didn’t sign up for any of this.

She didn’t sign up for violence and mayhem in the streets of the Big Easy. She didn’t sign up to be a magnet for an evil force intent on hunting down the reincarnated souls of its enemies.

She sure as hell didn’t sign up for rescue by a sinfully tempting vampire lord and his fashion-model-gorgeous friends. Especially since he seems convinced that she’s the living embodiment of his long lost human mate.

Seriously, this kind of stuff isn’t supposed to happen to insurance company receptionists from New Jersey.

The world is descending into chaos. Now, a coven of hypnotically alluring bloodsuckers is trying to convince her they’re the good guys. And the truly scary part is, she’s starting to believe them.

Journal of the Waterloo Campaign is one of the most eloquent and impressive first-hand accounts of Napoleon Bonaparte’s dramatic demise.

It is a true classic of the literature of the Napoleonic Wars.

Taking us from the lulls and hard marching in Belgium and France, to the battle of Quatre Bras (where Mercer fired a few rounds at Napoleon himself), and finally to the ferocious fighting at Waterloo and Mercer’s own bold contribution to the larger Allied victory.

'The book is essential for any study of the Waterloo campaign' – Philip J. Haythornthwaite, leading military historian.

Captain Cavalie Mercer (1783-1868), commander of G troop of the Royal Horse Artillery in Wellington’s army, was a skilled writer who recorded the day’s events each evening in vivid and poetic detail. Never before or since has the experience of the entire campaign been brought so thoroughly to life.

Three thousand years ago, a war began between the immortals and the mortals. It's a war that continues to this day...

Before history began, a legendary queen battled a foreign army, braved the death of her husband, and faced betrayal at the hand of someone she trusted. This is the story of Eire, Queen of the Faeries, the Immortal One, and the leader of the Tuatha de Danann.

To this day, her homeland, Ireland, bears her name, and this is the story of the war that drove the Immortal Ones into exile. It's also the tale of how she found help from an unexpected place, leading her to a love like she had never known before.

Fairytale Christmas is a story that spans thousands of years. It's also the beginning of all of our fairytales and legends; it's where mortals and immortals survive because they love one another, proving that love is the greatest gift of all.

This is the first installment in the Saga of the Fair Folk, a journey that lasts until the end of time.

In Lotería, the spellbinding literary debut by Mario Alberto Zambrano, a young girl tells the story of her family’s tragic demise using a deck of cards of the eponymous Latin American game of chance.
 
With her older sister Estrella in the ICU and her father in jail, eleven-year-old Luz Castillo has been taken into the custody of the state. Alone in her room, she retreats behind a wall of silence, writing in her journal and shuffling through a deck of lotería cards. Each of the cards’ colorful images—mermaids, bottles, spiders, death, and stars—sparks a random memory.
 
Pieced together, these snapshots bring into focus the joy and pain of the young girl’s life, and the events that led to her present situation. But just as the story becomes clear, a breathtaking twist changes everything.

Beautiful full-color images of lotería cards are featured throughout this intricate and haunting novel.

After plunging Europe into a terrible war, Napoleon died on Saint Helena in 1821.

Five years later his contemporary Sir Walter Scott wrote a brilliant debunking biography that stirred up international controversy for its thundering assault on the Napoleon legend.

It so inflamed the French that Napoleon’s most-trusted general challenged Scott to a duel.

Originally designed on a grand scale in nine volumes and over a million words, Scott’s monumental work is published again in one concise volume.

This new edition retains his first-hand insights, elegant construction, page-turning writing and painstaking attention to detail, while selecting the parts that provide a fresh and authoritative take on Napoleon (including the ill-fated march to Moscow) for the modern historian.

Published simultaneously in German, French, Italian and Spanish, the book was an international phenomenon.

Scott’s research took advantage of privileged access to government papers as well as those of the main players, including the Duke of Wellington and important French generals.

His life of Napoleon stands out not least because of his skilful portrayal of genuine people in both the smallest and most significant events.

‘Delightful...Walter Scott recalls to me the incidents on which through life I have mediated, and the influence of which is still in daily operation’ – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sir Walter Scott (15 August 1771-21 September 1832) was a lawyer, poet, translator, historian and novelist. His classics works, such as Ivanhoe and Waverley, remain in print today. He was two years younger than Napoleon, whose biography was the only historical work he ever wrote. It was to inspire the approach of later historians Lord Macaulay and Thomas Carlyle.

”A storehouse for all future writers of modern history” Athenaeum

Originally published in 1896, Thomas Power O’Connor’s intimate portrait of Napoleon covers everything from his military campaigns to his questionable table manners.

Far from a stuffy account of Napoleon’s battles and governance, O’Connor’s conversational style reveals the man behind the Emperor. This biography remains an important addition to the study of Napoleon with its personal and, at times, visceral details of the public and private life of the Emperor.

Examining contemporary French sources such as Hippolyte Taine, and with quotations from those closest to Napoleon such as Claude François Méneval, Étienne-Denis Pasquier and Josephine, O’Connor’s depiction of Napoleon is informative and entertaining in style, and far-reaching in scope.

As O’Connor guides the reader through these sources – either from devotees or detractors of Napoleon – a conflicting portrayal of the man arises that can only be expected from such a divisive and monumental figure. Brilliant but volatile, domineering but juvenile, but always – the violence of his campaigns appears rooted in his chaotic personality.

Nevertheless, O’Connor shows that one link remains unbroken throughout Napoleon’s life: his fierce ambition.

Perhaps this is what drew the leader of the United Irish League and the “Father of the House of Commons” to his subject.

T. P. O’Connor (1848-1929) was a journalist and MP. His mastery of French and German led him to report from the Franco-Prussian War following his sub-editorship of The Daily Telegraph. He was elected into the House of Commons in 1880 and was then continuously re-elected for 49 years and 215 days running as a proponent for Home Rule and Irish nationalism.

DEAD IN THE WATER

Rebecca quickly grasps the Emily Post solution—sign on as Marty's lawyer, try to keep her client's two young kids out of the deep end, and somehow avoid drowning in the sea of lies gushing from Marty's mouth--and everyone else’s. There’s a lot of intrigue among the aquarium's oceangoing primates, as well as rumors of a pearl beyond price.

But before revealing it to her sister Audrey, she's found dead. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a skiing accident, until the medical examiner discovers poison coursing through Charlotte's body.
