From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller BROTHERS IN BLOOD, and co-author with T. J. Andrews of the Sunday Times bestseller ARENA, comes a tense, action-packed adventure with the Roman army officer Figulus in the heart of barbaric first-century Britannia, previously published in five separate ebook-only instalments.

In this gripping novel about the Roman army’s struggles against the barbarians in first-century Britannia, the junior officer Figulus faces a series of missions which could bring him honour and promotion - or lead to a dreadful fate at the hands of a ruthless enemy. Amongst the bravest in the heart of the action, Figulus has not sought out leadership but, as the story progresses, must rise to the challenge of bringing his men safely through skirmishes and sabotage as well as brutal face-to-face combat. And always every soldier, whatever his rank, knows that this may be the day he is asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for Rome.

Simon Scarrow’s passion for writing began at an early age. After a childhood spent travelling the world he pursued his great love of history as a teacher, before becoming a full-time writer in 2005. Simon’s Roman soldier heroes Cato and Macro first stormed the book shops in 2000, and Simon has many other literary projects in hand including a young adult Roman series.

The new novel starring Inspector Ikmen, ‘the Morse of Istanbul’ (Daily Telegraph), in the acclaimed series perfect for fans of Donna Leon.

A young man drops dead in a fashionable Istanbul street. The autopsy proves it was a natural death - a heart attack - but what is in Emre Alphan’s stomach is not. His last meal was of human flesh. Ikmen must trace Alphan’s final movements, and discover who the victim was. Food itself has become contentious, with traces of pork discovered in tinned beans, accusations flying about whether this was a deliberately provocative act in a Muslim country, and suspicions about what is really being served up. Ikmen soon finds himself in the world of the now beleaguered secular elite, people who feel their Western way of life is under threat of extinction, some of whom are joining a very dark new cult...

Trained as an actress, Barbara Nadel used to work in mental health services. Born in the East End of London, she now writes full time and has been a visitor to Turkey for over twenty years. She received the Crime Writers’ Association Silver Dagger for her novel DEADLY WEB.

The delicious history of our favourite treat.

In our family, as in many others, familiar cakes are the makers of memories. My siblings and I took this idea into our adult lives, and now bake for our own families. But it wasn’t until I developed an interest in the history of food that I started to think about the deeper significance of these tasty treats. What does cake mean for different people? How have we come to have such a huge variety of cakes? What had to happen historically for them to appear? And what can they tell us about the family, and women’s roles in particular? I wrote this book to find out the answers.

What follows is a journey from King Alfred to our modern-day love of cupcakes, via Queen Victoria’s patriotic sponge, the Southern States of America, slavery and the spice trade, to the rise of the celebrity chef . . . and so much more.

Alysa Levene is a social historian at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford (and enthusiastic amateur baker). She has researched and published articles and books on a variety of topics which connect with this book: the history of childhood, health, the family, and food. This is her first trade book.

But it’s much more than that. It’s about families, and love, and grief. It’s about a father trying to finish what his son had begun. It’s about the invisibility of old age and the discovery that there’s always more life to be lived. It’s about being young and open, with no side and no cynicism, and an uncertain future. It’s insightful, it’s inventive, it’s full of surprises, and although it’s heart-wrenchingly sad in places, it’s also laugh-out-loud funny when you least expect it. Sometimes

David Churchill’s The Leopards of Normandy trilogy continues with Duke. William the Bastard, boy Duke of Normandy, is alone in a world filled with enemies. His father, Robert, is dead and the men chosen to protect William are falling prey, one by one, to a conspiracy controlled and manipulated by a man who has spent a lifetime being mocked and ridiculed, but now burns with the need to be feared and obeyed. In England, two women, equally matched in their beauty, strength and limitless ambition, seek power through their sons. They wield no swords and command no armies but their struggle for the Crown is as bitter as any war. And between them stands Godwin, Earl of Wessex, seeking to build a dynasty that will outlast them all. One day, William will join the struggle for dominion over England. But for now he must fight just to survive, to reach manhood and then to impose his will on those who would oppose him. Including the young woman he wants for his wife.

David Churchill is the pseudonym of an award-winning journalist, who has investigated financial scandals on Wall Street, studio intrigues in Hollywood and corrupt sports stars in Britain, and lived in Moscow, Washington DC and Havana. He has edited four magazines, published seventeen books and been translated into some twenty languages. DUKE is the second book in THE LEOPARDS OF NORMANDY trilogy.

What follows is Daniel’s attempt to uncover the truth of how he came to walk away from his first love, with devastating consequences.

What emerges is a rich and extraordindarily intimate portrait of a unique marriage, one we become increasingly aware is being eaten away at by the slow, inevitable work of loss, and the reverberations of what happened between Daniel and a young woman named Nicola, all those years ago.
