Lore has failed. She couldn't save King Bastian from the rotten god speaking voices in his mind. She couldn't save her friends from being scattered across the continent. She couldn't save her beautiful, corrupt city from the dark power beneath the catacombs. And she couldn't save herself.Banished to the Burnt Isles, Lore must use every skill she earned on the streets of Dellaire to survive the desolate prison colony and figure out a way to defeat the power that's captured everything and everyone she holds dear. But as Lore gets closer to her goal, her magic grows stronger . . . and to a woman who's always had to fight for survival, that kind of power may be hard to give up.

SEASCRAPER is a mesmerising portrait of a young man confined in by his class and the ghosts of his family's past, dreaming of artistic fulfilment.Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, working his grandpas trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach and scrape for shrimp, spending the afternoon selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and scum, pining for Joan Wyeth down the street, and rehearsing songs on his guitar. At heart, he is a folk musician, but it remains a private dream.When a striking visitor turns up, bringing the promise of Hollywood glamour, Thomas is shaken from the drudgery of his days and begins to see a different future. But how much of what the American claims is true, and how far can his inspiration carry Thomas?Haunting and timeless, this is the story a young man hemmed in by his circumstances, striving to achieve fulfilment far beyond the world he knows.

From the Womens Prize-shortlisted author of First Love'I love this book' Sarah Perry'Outstandingly brilliant' Claire-Louise BennettLaura Miller and Edmund Putnam have been friends for a long time. Theirs is a happy meeting of minds, with long evenings spent huddled in an ancient pub by the Thames, where they share office gossip, reflect on their teenage passions, and lament the state of the world.Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: he has lost his father, and the magazine to which he has dedicated his life has been hijacked by an insufferable new editor, Simon call me Shove Halfpenny.Laura has her own problems: with a prickly mother and a tricky past, and in a beautiful and indifferent city, her day-to-day life is precarious. But as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back.A novel of enduring friendships and small mercies, The Palm House offers us Gwendoline Rileys trademark keen observation and wit, and leaves us - somehow - with a curious sense of possibility.

A beautifully illustrated graphic novel about courage, identity, and finding one’s place in the world.
