Glorious . . . a tale that will sweep you away' Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Tiger 'A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women' Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of Strange the Dreamer In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote - and perhaps not even to live - the sisters must delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be. Praise for The Once and Future Witches: 'A brilliant dazzle of a book . . . I devoured it in enormous gulps, and utterly loved it' Kat Howard, author of The Unkindness of Ghosts 'Compelling, exhilarating and magical - a must-read' Booklist (starred review) 'Delightful . . . a tale of women's battle for equality, of fairy tales twisted into wonderfully witchy spells, of magics both large and small, and history re-imagined' Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches 'A love letter to folklore and the rebellious women of history' Publishers Weekly 'A breathtaking book - brilliant and raw and dark and complicated' Sarah Gailey, author of Magic for Liars

Opal je sirota. Žije so svojím mladším bratom Jasperom v motelovej izbe a rozmýšľa nad tým, ako ho dostať preč z mesta, ktoré mu škodí, preč z motela, ktorý nemá budúcnosť, preč zo života, ktorý nikam nesmeruje. Nad sebou Opal vôbec nepremýšľa. Nesníva o ničom – snívanie je luxus pre ľudí, ktorí nie sú sami, pre ľudí, o ktorých sa niekto postará. Aj Opal kedysi snívala. Snívala o dome na kopci nad mestom, o okne, ktoré žiari do nočného lesa, o kľukatých chodbách a vôni vistérie. Keď sa však celkom náhodou ocitne v starlingovskom dome, otvorí sa pred ňou celkom iný svet a možno si na moment dovolí opäť snívať. No na konci každého sna čaká nočná mora. Arthur Starling žije v dome sám už celé roky. Keď sa pred bránou nečakane zjaví Opal, je to vina, ktorá Arthura prinúti prijať ju a ponúknuť jej pomoc. Pod jej rukami dom ožíva, leskne sa a rozvoniava. No medzi Arthurom a Opal visí nielen temné tajomstvo, ale aj nevypovedaná záhada, ktorá dom Starlingovcov obklopuje. A tajomstvá si vždy vypýtajú svoju daň.

A brand new book from the Sunday Times and internationally bestselling author of The Silk Roads 'Masterly mapping out of a new world order' – Evening Standard Revised and updated edition The New Silk Roads takes a fresh look at the relationships being formed along the length and breadth of the ancient trade routes today. The world is changing dramatically and in an age of Brexit and Trump, the themes of isolation and fragmentation permeating the western world stand in sharp contrast to events along the Silk Roads, where ties are being strengthened and mutual cooperation established. This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. The Silk Roads, a major reassessment of world history, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
