From the Sunday Times number one bestselling author Lucinda Riley, The Missing Sister is the seventh instalment in the multimillion selling epic series.
They’ll search the world to find her.
The six D’Aplièse sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover their heritage, but they still have one question left unanswered: who and where is the seventh sister?
They only have one clue – an image of a star-shaped emerald ring. The search to find the missing sister will take them across the globe; from New Zealand to Canada, England, France and Ireland, uniting them all in their mission to at last complete their family.
In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to change the world around them.
"Naomi Novik has once again been influenced by classic folktales, following Uprooted - her standalone novel. Taking Rumpelstiltskin as her starting point, Spinning Silver is rich, original and a joy to read.
Will dark magic claim their home?
Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father’s too kind-hearted to collect his debts. They face poverty, until Miryem hardens her own heart and takes up his work in their village. Her success creates rumours she can turn silver into gold, which attract the fairy king of winter himself. He sets her an impossible challenge – and if she fails, she’ll die. Yet if she triumphs, it may mean a fate worse than death. And in her desperate efforts to succeed, Miryem unwittingly spins a web which draws in the unhappy daughter of a lord.
Irina’s father schemes to wed her to the tsar – he will pay any price to achieve this goal. However, the dashing tsar is not what he seems. And the secret he hides threatens to consume the lands of mortals and winter alike. Torn between deadly choices, Miryem and Irina embark on a quest that will take them to the limits of sacrifice, power and love.

Featuring a new preface, afterword and Radically Candid Performance Review Bonus Chapter, the fully revised & updated edition of Radical Candor is packed with even more guidance to help you improve your relationships at work.
'Reading Radical Candor will help you build, lead, and inspire teams to do the best work of their lives.' – Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In.
If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all . . . right?
While this advice may work for home life, as Kim Scott has seen first hand, it is a disaster when adopted by managers in the work place.
Scott earned her stripes as a highly successful manager at Google before moving to Apple where she developed a class on optimal management. Radical Candor draws directly on her experiences at these cutting edge companies to reveal a new approach to effective management that delivers huge success by inspiring teams to work better together by embracing fierce conversations.
Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism – delivered to produce better results and help your employees develop their skills and increase success.
Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Scott has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters.
Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first-hand experience, and distilled clearly to give practical advice to the reader, Radical Candor shows you how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity.
Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people love both their work and their colleagues, and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.

Vivid and exquisite in its illumination of a time and place that was filled with atrocities, but also humanity and strength, Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale will provoke thought and discussion that will have readers talking long after they finish reading.
„Kosmiczne duchy” to typowy horror science fiction. Jest w nim ukazana możliwa alternatywna wizja przyszłości, w której ludzie już od dłuższego czasu odkrywają i eksplorują kosmos, zakładając liczne kolonie na różnych planetach. Wciąż jednak nie wiedzą, że obok nich Galaktyka tętni życiem i istnieje bogaty świat, w którym rozmaite społeczności koegzystują ze sobą, prowadząc swoje polityczne interesy.
W tych to właśnie czasach dochodzi do pierwszego kontaktu ludzi z inną cywilizacją. Ale czy ludzkość będzie już na to gotowa? W tej wersji przyszłości ludzie nadal są podzieleni i walczą między sobą, nie wiedząc nawet, że nad Galaktykę nadchodzi śmiertelne zagrożenie. I jak to zwykle bywa, osobiste ambicje przeważają nad dobrem ogółu.
Akcja „Kosmicznych duchów”, oprócz budowania ciekawego świata, skupia się na przygodach dwójki kosmitów, agentów specjalnych, z zaawansowanej cywilizacji, którzy muszą odnaleźć się i przeżyć na planetach zamieszkałych przez Ziemian, aby wykonać swoje zadania.
Co mogą o nas myśleć kosmici? Czy będą dla nas zagrożeniem? Czy może chcą nam pomóc? Niniejsza książka stara się odpowiedzieć na te pytania.
W „Kosmicznych duchach” autor wykazał się zdolnością do tworzenia postaci pełnych głębi, kompleksowych światów oraz zaskakujących zwrotów akcji. W swojej twórczości stawia na wszechstronną kreatywność, oryginalność oraz na stwarzanie zdumiewających globów i wizji przyszłości. Jego literacki debiut to wzbudzająca nadzieję zapowiedź osiągnięć w dziedzinie fantastyki naukowej.
Choć to dopiero początek kariery Konrada Głowackiego, książka ta już teraz pokazuje, że ma on potencjał stać się cenionym głosem w literaturze SF, wprowadzając czytelników w fascynujące światy, gdzie nauka, ludzka natura i przyszłość splatają się ze sobą, tworząc niezwykłe historie.
Konrad Głowacki – rocznik 77. Interesuje się szeroko pojmowaną nauką i technologią, w tym przede wszystkim astronomią, a także fantastyką popularnonaukową, religioznawstwem i geopolityką. Od wielu lat zajmuje się profesjonalnie badaniem zjawisk niewyjaśnionych.
Matt to mężczyzna, który robi złe rzeczy i któremu przydarzaja się głównie złe rzeczy. Nie dba o nic i codziennie igra ze śmiercią. Wydaje się, że w jego brutalnym świecie nie ma miejsca na uczucia. Ten świat zatrzęsie się w posadach, gdy w życie Matta wkroczy Emma, przynosząc zarówno nadzieję, jak i śmiertelne niebezpieczeństwo.
Emma początkowo odrzuca Matta, ale nie może uwolnić się od myśli o seksownym gangsterze. Mimo obaw postanawia zbliżyć się do niego. Czy otrzyma miłość, której tak pragnie, czy tylko niepewność, cierpienie i wstyd?
Historia opowiadana jest na przemian z dwóch perspektyw – mężczyzny i kobiety – co pozwala wejrzeć w uczucia, motywy i głęboko skrywane tajemnice obojga. Opisując płonącą namiętność i rozdzierającą bezsilność bohaterów, autorka nie unika odważnej erotyki i mocnego języka. Matt to druga część cyklu Pragnienie diabła, stanowi jednak odrębną opowieść.
„Często myślałam, że bycie nikim to luksusowe uczucie, życie ściągało mnie nieraz znacznie niżej. Stawałam przed wyborami, przed jakimi nigdy nie powinna stawać młoda kobieta. Wiele moich decyzji podjęłam w sposób naturalny, ale ciężko mówić o decydowaniu, kiedy znajdowałam się w sytuacjach bez wyjścia. W tej książce przeplotłam dwa światy – fikcji i prawdy – tylko po to, abym kolejny raz nie musiała się obnażać i walczyć z niesprawiedliwym osądem. Jestem w najlepszym okresie mojego życia, ale chciałam wam opowiedzieć, że w moim życiu nie zawsze było tak różowo”. ~Andżelika Ratajczak
„Koszmar” to historia młodej, zakochanej i zaślepionej dziewczyny. Szczęście, łzy, przemoc, ból, koszmar. Jak wiele trzeba przeżyć, jak wiele trzeba zrozumieć, zanim podejmie się słuszną i dojrzałą decyzję. Godząca się na wszystko bohaterka żyła w toksycznym związku dwadzieścia lat. Owocem tego związku były dzieci. Owocem tego związku były problemy. Owocem tego związku była też chęć odebrania sobie życia. W imię czego? W imię sprawiedliwości, której nie znalazła w polskim sądownictwie.
Ta książka to terapia, choć ból zadawany przez tak wiele lat przez oprawcę pozostawił ranę w sercu dziewczyny na zawsze. Udało jej się odnaleźć spokój. Udało jej się odzyskać utracone dziecko. Udało jej się odnaleźć prawdziwą miłość. A wszystko to dzięki ludziom, którzy w nią wierzyli i walczyli o nią i jej dzieci. Ofiara przemocy domowej przyjęła pomoc – przyjęła wyciągniętą do niej dłoń. Jest teraz wolna od bólu, cierpienia i nienawiści.
Jeśli ta historia pomoże choć jednej kobiecie, jeśli ta historia doda siły do walki ofiarom przemocy domowej, to będzie znaczyło, że było warto. Warto, ponieważ żadna z nas nie zasługuje na takie traktowanie. Żadna z nas nie zasługuje na bicie, poniżanie i pozbawienie własnej godności.

When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert was liberated in 1945, a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote on which he’d written ‘Good luck and happiness’. And when her great-grandson, Dov, decided to use social media to track down the family of the GI, 96-year-old Lily found herself making headlines round the world. Lily had promised herself that if she survived Auschwitz she would tell everyone the truth about the camp. Now was her chance.
In Lily’s Promise she writes movingly about her happy childhood in Hungary, the death of her mother and two youngest siblings on their arrival at Auschwitz in 1944 and her determination to keep her two other sisters safe. She describes the inhumanity of the camp and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. From there she and her sisters became slave labour in a munitions factory, and then faced a death march that they barely survived.
Lily lost so much, but she built a new life for herself and her family, first in Israel and then in London. It wasn’t easy; the pain of her past was always with her, but this extraordinary woman found the strength to speak out in the hope that such evil would never happen again.
'Utterly compelling, heartbreaking, truthful and yet redemptive, a memoir of the Holocaust, a testimony of irrepressible spirit and an unforgettable family chronicle, written in lucid prose by a truly remarkable woman . . . I couldn't stop reading it.' – Simon Sebag Montefiore
