Beautiful young women are disappearing by the dozen.

A celebration is cut short when a concerned father crashes Detective Inspector Lindsay Boxer’s party. His daughter is missing – and she’s not the only one.

DI Lindsay Boxer has been tracking a chilling pattern: a Jane Doe washed ashore, a body in Golden Gate Park, a string of missing women across San Francisco. Someone is hunting the city’s most vulnerable, and the count keeps rising.

When Lindsay reaches out to Interpol, their warning is stark: these cases are nearly impossible to solve, and the women are almost never found alive.

But 'impossible' has never stopped the Women’s Murder Club before.

Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is the realm of magic and immortals –the descendants of the gods, living in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps of that magic.

Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life. Everyone has their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance. As a child, a goddess set fire to her village, killing her family. Aris isn't after the gods' magic – she's going to kill them.

First, she must survive the Culling, the king's deadly competition to choose his fifty challengers. An orphaned blacksmith's apprentice, Aris doesn't have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses. But the greatest swords – ones that contain power – are not inherited or bought, they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor – but a target.

Getting past the gates is only the beginning. Starside is deadlier than it seems. If the ancient creatures, magic-wielding beasts, and bloodthirsty immortals weren't dangerous enough, a new peril has even immortals fearing what rises from the ground at night. With a blade most would kill to claim, Aris can't trust anyone. Especially not Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious king's guard who betrayed her years ago – and who may now be the key to her survival.

But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family's death. And when it's revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what's coming…

In the aftermath of October 7, Ferdinand Draxler walks the streets of London in despair. Everything has changed – the sights, the sound, the spirit. He too is not who he was. Is he at the crossroads of history or is it just a bend in the cul-de-sac of his own gloomy nature?

He carries his own tin of paint to cover up graffiti. The staffroom at the primary school of which he is headmaster has become a battlefield of inflamed opinion he does nothing to quiet.

His wife Charmian is a beacon of calm but even she isn't sure she can save Ferdie from himself. 'Don't worry about me,' he tells her. 'I don't have what it takes to go mad.'

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing ― and reconstructing ― a life through the cliff moments and transitions we all will face repeatedly in our lives.

What to make of a life?

It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?

Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.

His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.

• Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.
• Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.
• Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.
• Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.

What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies ― of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others ― is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.

Join The Feathered Five on an unforgettable adventure as they navigate the cacophony of the African savanna.

Enough was enough, the birds woke up grumpy and mad, as they let the noise of the Hadedas’ turn a good start to bad!

For today was a day of great celebration, as they had a party to attend for the Yellow-billed Kites’ homecoming migration. Excuse after excuse, the exhausted Secretary Bird had a hard time remembering their reasons for delay.

Will the birds finally arrive for the Yellow-billed Kites’ special day?

The carnivore diet has been touted as a revolutionary, radical new approach to health, healing and fat loss. In truth, it’s simply a powerful, stripped-down form of ketogenic eating: essentially zero-carb, nutrient-dense, free from junk and refreshingly simple.

Chances are you’ve already heard about it, seen a few videos, or even know someone who’s tried it. But what should be an easy and effective lifestyle has become clouded by extremes. The best approach depends on your own unique biology, lifestyle and goals. And Living the Ultimate Carnivore Lifestyle is here to help you figure out what that is.

It’s a practical, adaptable guide designed to give you the tools and confidence to take control. Whether you want to reduce inflammation, heal your relationship with food, improve mental clarity or lose fat, this book will help you build a lifestyle that works for you.

Part 1 elaborates on strict carnivore, relaxed carnivore and ketovore and how to find the right fit. It gives clear advice on creating a sustainable lifestyle with a complete four-phase implementation guide. It shows how to identify food triggers and answers questions on cholesterol, insulin, fibre and plant toxins, and teaches how to handle social pressure.

Part 2 has easy-to-follow meal plans and shopping lists, while Parts 3 and 4 provide over 80 recipes to take the guesswork out of your journey, and a bonus entertainer menu for social occasions.

Departure(s) is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.

It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?

It begins at the end of life – but it doesn’t end there. Ultimately, it’s about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

Hand over an 800-year-old book, the Codex Gigas, the largest illuminated medieval manuscript in the world. Claimed as war loot from Bohemia in 1648, it's been kept in Stockholm for nearly 400 years.
