Fireborne, Book 1 of The Aurelian Cycle series
When the revolution came, everything changed. The old rulers were overthrown and the city’s
traditions were shattered. Annie and Lee grew up in the aftermath, their lives shaped by the
chaos.
Brought together in the same orphanage and despite their differences, they became each other’s closest ally. But years of training have turned their friendship into rivalry as they now compete to lead the city’s legendary dragonriders.
Just as they’re finding their footing, a new threat arises: survivors of the old regime are back, determined to take revenge. As dragons soar into bale and the city’s future hangs in the balance, Annie and Lee must decide what truly matters: the bonds of family, the loyalty of friendship, or the destiny they’ve been fighting for all along.
This action-packed adventure of courage, betrayal, and the choices that shape us, written by internationally bestselling author Rosaria Munda, is a powerful story about discovering where you belong – and who you are willing to fight for.

A journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information.
The debut non-fiction book by best-selling author Chris Haughton.
History, as it is often taught, is a list of kings and queens and treaties and events. It presents the what and when, but it rarely asks why.
Why is it that we had kings and queens at all?
Why then all of a sudden did we abandon them and shift to democracies?
Why is society dominated by men?
The answers all come down to the same thing: information. The striving to share information, and – at the same time – the striving to undermine it, explains so much of today’s world and connects so many seemingly unconnected things: the rise of religions, states, science, democracy, the west, militarism, racism, fascism, consumerism, big tech, polarisation, and AI.
This history of information is closely connected to the history of visual communication – and as these two are largely the same – it makes sense to tell this story visually: a history of graphics told through graphics. The History of Information, through a mix of timelines, graphics, and illustrations, clearly breaks down and explains each concept for children and adults alike.

How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend
‘Insightful and relatable psychoeducation that demystifies the brain… it’s a resource I’ll proudly keep on my shelf as a therapist.’ Joshua Fletcher, anxiety therapist.
Your brain is the most remarkable thing in the known universe.
Always trying to mend itself, and always trying to protect you, it’s in a constant state of flux ― adapting, reconfiguring, finding new pathways… And it has an astonishing capacity for recovery.
Only it doesn’t always get it right.
Rachel Barr struggled through years of devastating loss, heartache, and uncertainty until
neuroscience gave her the first spark of self-belief she had felt in her adult life ― and proof that, because of the brain’s near-infinite potential for neuroplastic change, it’s never too late to carve out neural pathways to form new habits, new skills, and new ways of thinking.
Whether you want to nerd-out on Neuroscientific acronyms, finally understand what’s going on in your head, or take refuge in a book that’s like a warm hug for your mind, How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend is a delight-filled, evidence-based guide to taking beer care of your brain ― so it, in turn, will take beer care of you.

Don’t just drive the North Coast 500. Experience it.
Driving the North Coast 500? Good choice. Winding through Scotland’s northern Highlands, this unforgeable route is one of the UK’s greatest road trips. But driving it isn’t about racing from one stop to the next – it’s about slowing down and soaking it all in.
North Coast 500 helps you do just that. Written by Scotland expert Rachel Laidler, this refreshingly honest guide takes you beyond the road and into the heart of the Highlands. It’s packed with local insights, epic landscapes and must-do experiences, such as hiking through the cinematic mountains of Assynt and Torridon; sipping on whiskey at the centuries-old Balblair distillery; and taking a sustainable fishing trip with Ian and his plucky dog Dubh.
The Moon has been an object of fascination for religions, cultures, and societies the world over since the dawn of humanity.
The Moon is a beautifully illustrated account of our lunar neighbour in all its guises: a guiding light in the night sky, the driver of oceanic tides and natural cycles, the subject of exhaustive scientific study, and an enduring influence in literature, art, and popular culture.
Exploring theories for the Moon’s origins around 4.5 billion years ago, the book charts its influence on the calendar systems and mythologies of early societies, and its role in the invention of the telescope and the science-fiction genre. It tells the incredible story of the Cold War space race and the first Moon landings. Specially commissioned illustrations capture the Moon’s phases and motions in vivid detail, while stunning photography and artefacts bring the rich history of lunar observation and exploration to life.
