										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Elan trapped a salmon-stealing raven in his cupboard, he never expected it would hold the key to saving his people from the shapeshifting Koosh invaders plaguing their shores. In exchange for its freedom, the raven offers a secret that can save Elan&#8217;s home: the Koosh have lost one of their most powerful weapons, and only the raven knows where it is.</p>
<p>Elan is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elan is a storyteller, not a warrior.</p>
<p>As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elan must choose his role in his own epic story.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Cornwall, 1786.<br> <br>For years, the villagers of Mirecoombe have turned to their Keeper, the old and battle-scarred Lord Pelagius Hunt, mediator between the worlds of men and fey, for help. But this is a time of change. Belief in the old ways, in the piskies and spriggans, has dimmed, kindled instead in the Reverend Cleaver's fiery pulpit. His church stands proud above the mire; God's name is whispered, hushed, loved. And now, death stalks Mirecoombe on the moor. There are corpses in the heather. There is blood in the gorse. Who will be the one to bring Mirecoombe back from the brink of darkness?]]></description>

<p>For years, the villagers of Mirecoombe have turned to their Keeper, the old and battle-scarred Lord Pelagius Hunt, mediator between the worlds of men and fey, for help. But this is a time of change. Belief in the old ways, in the piskies and spriggans, has dimmed, kindled instead in the Reverend Cleaver&#8217;s fiery pulpit. His church stands proud above the mire; God&#8217;s name is whispered, hushed, loved. And now, death stalks Mirecoombe on the moor. There are corpses in the heather. There is blood in the gorse.</p>
<p>Nancy Bligh is determined to do what Pel will not: maintain the balance between the fey and the human world, be the Keeper that he refuses to be. Blessed with natural sight, friend to spriggans, piskies and human locals of Mirecoombe, Nancy has power that Pel never had and never lets her use. But as Mirecoombe falls into darkness, perhaps her time has come.</p>
<p>A poignant and lyrical examination of faith, love and grief, <i>Gorse</i> asks what do we choose to believe, and how does that shape who we are?</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Venerated Sister Valour and Pre-eminent Petrichor are members of the Order of Axsten, an assassin's guild tasked with keeping order in the rough city of Vinterstock. They have been given their biggest job yet: to kill the mysterious leader of the city's illegal magic trade. Easier said than done when they see each other as utter rivals, and the beautiful aristocrat Ingrid Rytterdahl elbows her way into the mission. As secrets bubble to the surface, the duo must outwit the thugs on their tail, keep Ingrid alive, and-hardest of all-work together without murdering each other.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valour and Petrichor are esteemed members of the Order of Axsten, an assassin&#8217;s guild tasked with keeping order in the rough city of Vinterstock. Plucked from the streets as children and raised to compete for their guild&#8217;s approval, Valour uses her brawn to survive, while Petrichor strives to be a gentleman assassin. When they&#8217;re given their biggest job yet-to kill Brandquist, the mysterious leader of the city&#8217;s illegal magic trade-it&#8217;s a recipe for disaster. If they can quell their rivalry long enough, the reward will be enough to settle their debts with the Order and start new lives.</p>
<p>If this job wasn&#8217;t dangerous enough, Valour is saddled with protecting the aristocrat, Ingrid Rytterdahl. Valour finds her dangerously attractive, but Petrichor can&#8217;t wait to be rid of them both. He begrudgingly accepts Ingrid&#8217;s knowledge and connections as they navigate the city&#8217;s criminal underbelly in pursuit of Brandquist.</p>
<p>As secrets bubble to the surface, the duo must outwit the thugs on their tail, keep Ingrid alive, and-hardest of all-work together without murdering each other.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Tracing two souls through endless lifetimes, Rakesfall is a virtuosic exploration of what stories can be. As Annelid and Leveret reincarnate ever deeper into the future, they will chase the edge of human possibility, in a dark science fiction epic unlike anything you've read before.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some stories take more than one lifetime to tell. There are wrongs that echo through the ages, friendships that outpace the claws of death, loves that leave their mark on civilization, and promises that nothing can break. This is one such story.</p>
<p>Annelid and Leveret met as children in the middle of the Sri Lankan civil war. They found each other in a torn-up nation, peering through propaganda to grasp a deeper truth. And in a demon-haunted wood, another act of violence linked them and propelled their souls on a journey throughout the ages. No world can hold them, no life can bind them, and they&#8217;ll never leave each other behind.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Courier Armand Pierce knows he's in deep trouble when he arrives at his destination to find his attachÃ© case-connected to a titanium cuff grafted into the bones of his wrist-mysteriously empty.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Corporations fall, gangsters are killed, but <i>no-one</i> messes with the Couriers Guild.</b></p>
<p>When Armand Pierce first became a courier ten years ago, he had an attaché case connected to a titanium cuff grafted into the bones of his wrist, and took an oath: the delivery is everything. He can run, fight-kill, if he needs to-but the package gets where it&#8217;s going. It&#8217;s the Guild&#8217;s guarantee, and since the internet went down in the Cyber Wars, all business, legitimate or otherwise, depends on it. Otherwise, he dies.</p>
<p>So Pierce knows he&#8217;s in deep trouble when he arrives at his latest destination to find his payload missing, his case mysteriously empty. Something strange is going on: something that&#8217;s already cost three couriers their lives, and threatens to upend the global order. And Pierce had better get to the bottom of it, before the Guild, catches up to him.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[[<b>**]<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoz6Y5fdfm4">1</a></b>In mystical 15th century Spain at the height of the Inquisition's power, young Jews Toba and Naftaly must fight for survival by unravelling the mysterious connections they have to a magical world of the immortal Maziks whose fates are tied to their own.**]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Two worlds bound by a pomegranate gate</b></p>
<p>Toba Peres can speak but she can&#8217;t shout; she can walk but she can&#8217;t run; and she can write in five languages? with both hands at the same time.</p>
<p>Naftaly Cresques dreams every night of an orange-eyed stranger; when awake, he sees things that aren&#8217;t real; and he carries a book he can never lose and never read.</p>
<p>When the Queen of Sefarad orders all the nation&#8217;s Jews to leave or convert, Toba and Naftaly are forced to flee, but an unlucky encounter leaves them both separated from their caravan. Lost in the wilderness, Toba follows an orange-eyed stranger through a mysterious gate in a pomegranate grove, leaving Naftaly behind. </p>
<p>With a single step, Toba enters an ancient world that mirrors her own. There, she finds that her fate-and Naftaly&#8217;s-are bound to an ancient conflict threatening to destroy both realms.</p>
