Sunday Times bestselling author of the Inspector McLean series J D Oswald returns with the most enchanting, haunting tale of 2024. Twelve year old Phoebe's world is falling apart. It's the summer of 1985 and she has just buried her parents, a fire at their family home claiming both in a freak accident. Her life is uprooted in an instant, and she takes little solace in the fact that her uncle Louis and aunt Maude have generously offered to take her in at their home in the Welsh woods. Under the summer sun, though, Phoebe falls into the rhythm of life with her eccentric guardians in their curious idyllic home, the hum of her aunt Maude's beehives filling the air. While exploring the surrounding woods, she strikes up a friendship with a strange girl, Gwyneth, but when she mentions this to her aunt she tells Phoebe that there are no children by that name in the village. Over the course of the summer the two girls strike up a strong bond, though nobody else seems to believe that Gwyneth exists. Soon, Phoebe begins to see the woods for what they truly are - a strange place where the line between life and death is blurred, where spirits roam and secrets fester. But has she learned this truth too late to escape it? Praise for Broken Ghosts: 'A beautifully written novel imbued with empathy, spirits and magic' Scottish Daily Mail 'A mesmerising meditation on the border between this world and the world beyond.' Meg Clothier, bestselling author of The Book of Eve 'Spooky and moving' Peterborough Telegraph [Wildfire logo] £9.99

a haunting, gothic coming-of-age story from the bestselling author of the Inspector McLean series

Behind the gate lies a world filled with mischievous Japanese beings called yokai and Jonty must battle a series of hair-raising trials. Plus, there is an evil sky pirate crew who are hellbent on destroying the memories for good ... and they have bows and arrows. Can Jonty battle the pirate crew before the wadokei watch-clock strikes?

Mythocracy examines the narrative mechanisms that script our lives through the stories we tell one another. Digging beneath common anxieties about fake news, Yves Citton looks at the attention economy, which organises our political perceptions around affective attractors. These are much more powerful than the truth value of any given narrative. The time has come for the left to reclaim the power of myth from reactionary populism.

Goddess with a Thousand Faces

On 20 August 1612, ten people from Pendle were executed before a vast crowd at Lancaster's Gallows Hill. They had endured months of imprisonment and torture so extreme that one of the group died while awaiting trial. Virtually everything we know about the case originates from a single source: Thomas Potts' Wonderfull Discoverie of Witches, hurriedly published in 1613 and distinctly skewed in favour of the prosecution. Until now... After four centuries of superstition and surmise, Sunday Times bestselling author Carol Ann Lee brings an entirely new perspective on this case. Using her skills as an award-winning true crime author, Lee examines the evidence against the two central warring families - each headed by a fiercely independent widow - uncovering the reality of their lives, exploring the trial and executions and exposing society's fears and prejudices against 'cunning women'. This is a ground-breaking book that takes the reader on a spellbinding journey into the dark heart of England's largest and most notorious witch trial.

Something Wicked

The one and only Akwaeke Emezi is back with a breathtaking, sexy and out-of-this world page-turner that will blow away their fans. Son of the Morning weaves together Southern folklore and magic with Akwaeke Emezi's own remarkable brand of bold, Black-centered fantasy and romance. Galilee, Gali for short, has been raised by a formidable clan of women, the Kincaids, in the American South. Growing up, there was always something different about Gali, but it's a secret that her family of women has never shared with her. Gali assumes that it will always be like this, living with an ache and emptiness inside her, never finding something full enough to fill that hollow... Until, that is, she meets Lucifer Helel. He's supposedly the head of security for her wealthy friend Oriaku's family, but he is far too beautiful to be the mere mortal that he appears. From the moment they lay eyes on each other, both of them know: the other one is not human. Their lives are going to change forever - and for eternity, threatening everyone around them: Gali's family, her friends, and perhaps the whole world, after their heated first encounter threatens the very foundations of Heaven and Hell.

A spicy and addictive Southern Gothic paranormal romance of angels and demons, forbidden love, heavenly secrets and deadly desires

'Brilliant and discursive'Antonia Fraser, Sunday TimesWinner of the FAWCETT PRIZEand EMILY TOTH AWARDIn the 2000 years since her death Cleopatra has been re-created over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B.De Mille she was 'the wickedest woman in history'.This book is about the real Cleopatra, the most powerful woman in her world, but also about the legion of imaginary Cleopatras and about the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.

In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.&nbsp; In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants.&nbsp; Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden. &nbsp;

In a beautiful, fully illustrated package, this modern, witty take on familiar Greek myths with a focus on the wild and wonderful role plants have played in the stories over centuries is Song of Achilles meets The Secret Life of Trees.
