Titles in this set: Path of Destruction Rule of Two Dynasty of Evil Description: Path of Destruction On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel, a cortosis miner, vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There Dessel's brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, a far greater destiny awaits him. As an acolyte in the Sith academy, studying the secrets and skills of the dark side, Dessel embraces his new identity: Bane. But the true test is yet to come. In order to gain acceptance into the Brotherhood of Darkness, he must defy the most sacred traditions and reject all he has been taught. It is a trial by fire in which he must surrender fully to the dark side-and forge from the ashes a new era of absolute power. Rule of Two Darth Bane's twisted genius made him a natural leader among the Sith-until his radical embrace of an all-but-forgotten wisdom drove him to destroy his own order . . . and create it anew from the ashes. As the last surviving Sith, Darth Bane promulgated a harsh new directive: the Rule of Two. Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it. Now Darth Bane is ready to put his policy into action and thinks he has found the key element that will make his triumph complete: a student to train in the ways of the dark side. Though she is young, Zannah possesses an instinctive link to the dark side that rivals his own. With his guidance, she will become essential in his quest to destroy the Jedi and dominate the galaxy. Dynasty of Evil Twenty years have passed since the Sith and their endless rivalries were eradicated and replaced with the Rule of Two. Darth Bane now reigns alongside his young acolyte, Zannah, who must study and train in the dark side of the Force until the time comes to strike down her master and claim the mantle for herself. But Bane's brutal new regime has one potential fatal flaw-how will their legacy continue if an apprentice fails to raise their blade in combat? The only solution must be for the Dark Lord of the Sith to rediscover a long-forgotten secret of the order-the key to immortality. Bane's doubt spurs his young apprentice into action, and Zannah vows to destroy her master at any cost. After he mysteriously vanishes, she tracks him across the galaxy to a desolate desert outpost, where the fate of the dark side will be forged by a final fight to the death.

Titles in this set: 1. Queenie 2. Empress & Aniya 3. People Person Description: Queenie Queenie is a twenty-five-year-old Black woman living in south London, straddling Jamaican and British culture whilst slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white, middle-class peers, and beg to write about Black Lives Matter. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie finds herself seeking comfort in all the wrong places. As Queenie veers from one regrettable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be? - the questions that every woman today must face in a world that keeps trying to provide the answers for them. A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on life, love, race and family, Queenie will have you nodding in recognition, crying in solidarity and rooting for this unforgettable character every step of the way. A disarmingly honest, boldly political and truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and acceptance and found something very different in its place. Empress & Aniya When Empress starts at Aniya’s school, they’re not exactly best friends. But, when the two teenage girls accidentally cast a spell on their 16th birthday and end up switching bodies, they quickly learn that friendship is the most important magic of all. South London’s answer to ‘Freaky Friday’, Empress and Aniya is a moving portrayal of the importance of real friendship and the ups and downs of being a teenager. People Person If you could choose your family, you wouldn't choose the Penningtons Dimple, Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce are half-siblings who don't have much in common except abandonment issues. But when a catastrophic event forces them to reconnect with each other and with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things start to get complicated fast . . . People Person is a propulsive story of heart, humour and homecoming, about the true nature of family and the complexities of belonging.

Titles in this set: 1. Prep 2. Rodham 3. Romantic Comedy Description: Prep Lee Fiora is a shy fourteen-year-old when she leaves small-town Indiana for a scholarship at Ault, an exclusive boarding school in Massachusetts. Her head is filled with images from the school brochure of handsome boys in sweaters leaning against old brick buildings, girls running with lacrosse sticks across pristine athletics fields, everyone singing hymns in chapel. But as she soon learns, Ault is a minefield of unstated rules and incomprehensible social rituals, and Lee must work hard to find - and maintain - her place in the pecking order. Rodham Smart, diligent, and a bit plain, that's the general consensus. Then Hillary goes to college, and her star rises. At Yale Law School, she continues to be a leader - and catches the eye of driven, handsome and charismatic Bill. But when he asks her to marry him, Hillary gives him a firm No. How might things have turned out for them, for America, for the world itself, if Hillary Rodham had really turned down Bill Clinton? With her sharp but always compassionate eye, Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world ruled by men. Romantic Comedy Life is (not)* a Romantic Comedy... After a series of heartbreaks, Sally Milz - successful script writer for a legendary late-night TV comedy show - has long abandoned the search for love. But when her friend and fellow writer begins to date a glamorous actress, he joins the growing club of interesting but average-looking men who get romantically involved with accomplished, beautiful women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch, poking fun at this 'social rule'. The reverse never happens for a woman. Then Sally meets Noah, a pop idol with a reputation for dating models. But this isn't a romantic comedy - it's real life. Would someone like him ever date someone like her? Skewering all our certainties about why we fall in love, ROMANTIC COMEDY is a witty and probing tale of how the heart will follow itself, no matter what anyone says.

The Red Queen Series is a captivating and thrilling series of five books written by Victoria Aveyard. Set in a dystopian world, the series follows the journey of Mare Barrow, a lowly Red who discovers she possesses a unique ability that makes her stand out in a society where abilities are restricted to the privileged Silvers. The first book in the series, Red Queen, introduces us to this world where the Reds are oppressed and forced to serve the Silvers, who possess superhuman abilities. The story follows Mare as she is thrust into the world of the Silvers and discovers her own ability to control electricity. Mare becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of politics and power struggles, with both the Silvers and the Red Rebellion vying for her allegiance. In the second book, Glass Sword, Mare leads a group of fellow Reds with abilities, known as the Newbloods, on a mission to find others like them and build an army to fight against the oppressive Silver regime. But as Mare struggles with the weight of her leadership role and the toll it takes on her relationships, she begins to question whether she can trust those around her. The third book, King's Cage, sees Mare captured by the Silvers and held as a prisoner of war. Forced to navigate the treacherous court of King Maven, Mare faces constant danger and must rely on her wits to survive. Meanwhile, the Red Rebellion wages a brutal war against the Silvers, with Mare's absence leaving them without a clear leader. The fourth book, War Storm, brings the war between the Reds and Silvers to its climactic conclusion. As Mare and her allies fight for the freedom of the oppressed Red population, they must also confront their own personal demons and the sacrifices they must make to achieve their goals. The final book, Broken Throne, is a collection of short stories set in the world of the Red Queen series. It provides a deeper look into the history and motivations of the series' characters and adds an extra layer of depth to the world-building of the series. One of the strengths of the Red Queen Series is its complex and multi-layered characters. Mare Barrow is a flawed but relatable protagonist, struggling with the weight of her own power and the moral implications of her actions. The supporting cast is equally well-developed, with each character possessing their own motivations and goals that often conflict with one another. In addition, the world-building in the Red Queen Series is masterful. Aveyard has created a fully-realized dystopian society that is both believable and immersive. The contrast between the opulent lives of the Silvers and the poverty and oppression of the Reds is stark, and the political intrigue and power struggles add an extra layer of depth to the world-building. Another strength of the series is its action-packed plot. Each book is filled with thrilling battle scenes, political manoeuvring, and plot twists that keep the reader engaged and on the edge of their seat. The series also...

Titles in This Set: I Want My Hat Back This Is Not My Hat We Found a Hat Description: I Want My Hat Back This Is Not My Hat and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, tells the story of a bear who's hat has gone. And he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no (some more elaborately than others). But just as it he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance... Told completely in dialogue, this quirky, hilarious, read-aloud tale plays out in sly illustrations brimming with visual humour and winks at the reader who will be thrilled to be in on the joke. This Is Not My Hat From the creator of the bestselling I Want My Hat Back and Sam and Dave Dig a Hole comes the story of a tiny fish who proudly wears a blue hat. It fits him perfectly. Problem is, trouble could be following close behind... So it's a good thing that the enormous fish he took it from won't wake up. And even if he does, it's not as though he'll ever know what happened, right? With so many emotions conveyed in just the glint of an eye, visual humour swims to the fore in this thrillingly original, perfectly-paced cautionary tale. We Found a Hat Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles. And there is only one hat... Evoking hilarity and sympathy, the shifting eyes tell the tale in this perfectly paced story in three parts, highlighting Jon Klassen’s visual comedy, deceptive simplicity and deliciously deadpan humour.
