The Mayfair Witches are in danger.
There is a new, unimaginable threat to the family – the Taltos, a species gifted with preternatural knowledge who created Lasher, the being who gave the witches their power and
almost destroyed them.
Unknown to the Mayfairs, another Taltos still lives. And Rowan is still tied to the grief of the past, unable to move on.
But as the witching hour comes to an end, Rowan must find the courage once again to face her past and, together with Michael, confront the legacy of the Mayfair Witches head on.
The third hypnotic book in her epic story of the Mayfair witches, following The Witching Hour and Lasher
From Willow Smith and Jess Hendel comes a powerful and groundbreaking historical epic about an African warrior in the world of the Vikings.
Lore, legend, and history tell us of the Vikings: warrior-kings on epic journeys of conquest and plunder. But the stories we know are not the only stories to tell. There is another story, one that has been lost to the mists of time: the saga of the dark queen.
That saga begins with Yafeu, a defiant yet fiercely compassionate young warrior who is stolen from her home in the flourishing Ghanaian empire and taken as a slave to a distant kingdom in the North. There she is thrust into a strange, cold world of savage shield maidens, tyrannical rulers, and mysterious gods.And there she also finds something unexpected: a kindred spirit. She comes to serve Freydis, a shy princess who couldn’t be more different than the confident and self-possessed Yafeu.
But they both want the same thing: to forge their own fate. Yafeu inspires Freydis to dream of a future greater than the one that the king and queen have forced upon her. And with the princess at her side, Yafeu learns to navigate this new world and grows increasingly determined to become one of the legendary shield maidens.
For Yafeu may have lost her home, but she still knows who she is, and she’s not afraid to be the flame that burns a city to the ground so a new world can rise from the ashes. She will alter the course of history - and become the revolutionary heroine of her own myth.
The Mayfairs are dying.
Lasher, a spirit conjured in seventeenth-century Scotland by the first ‘witch’, has returned. Once a curse to his creator and her descendants, Lasher is back and ready to bring chaos to the Mayfair family.
And his next target is none other than Rowan Mayfair.
Meanwhile, Rowan has disappeared. As the new queen of the coven, Rowan must stay on the
run to save her life and her legacy before it’s too late.
From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the second installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles—the inspiration for the hit television series.

'[W]hen I found Rice's work I absolutely loved how she took that genre and (…) made [it] feel so contemporary and relevant.'
Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes
All Charlie Masterson wants is to graduate Oxford. With a first, obviously. But then his life gets turned upside down when Evie Waters waltzes into his philosophy class. Evie Waters, the one-time, very careless owner of his heart. A heart he has no intention of giving away ever again, therefore he needs to come up with a plan to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Violet Brooks has her life together, mostly. She’s a term into reading English at Oxford, and she’s hoping for the lead in the University’s summer production of Twelfth Night. There’s just one tiny snag. Her brother’s best friend just asked her to be his fake girlfriend. Her brother’s best friend who she’s been in love with since the first time she saw him.
Evie’s reappearance makes it hard for Charlie to focus on anything but repelling her advances. While Violet is now immersed in the role of a lifetime.
As Charlie and Violet spend more time together, it soon becomes hard to tell where the acting ends and real life begins, especially when Charlie starts looking at Violet the way she’s always looked at him.
Because all’s fair in love and war, right?
Who and what are supercommunicators? They're the people who can steer a conversation to a successful conclusion. They are able to talk about difficult topics without giving offence. They know how to make others feel at ease and share what they think. They're brilliant facilitators and decision-guiders. How do they do it?
In this groundbreaking new book, Charles Duhigg unravels the secrets of the supercommunicators to reveal the art – and the science – of successful communication. He unpicks the different types of everyday conversation and pinpoints why some go smoothly while others swiftly fall apart. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together. And he shows how even the most tricky of encounters can be turned around. In the process, he shows why a CIA operative was able to win over a reluctant spy, how a member of a jury got his fellow jurors to view an open-and-shut case differently, and what a doctor found they needed to do to engage with a vaccine sceptic.
Above all, he reveals the techniques we can all master to successfully connect with others, however tricky the circumstances. Packed with fascinating case studies and drawing on cutting-edge research, this book will change the way you think about what you say, and how you say it.
