Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general – also known as her tough-as-talons mother – has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else, and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away . . . because dragons don’t bond to ‘fragile’ humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter – like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies . . . or even lovers.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College, Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. The training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s gruelling, maliciously brutal, or even designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. The new vice commandant has made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is – unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most...

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...

Title in This Set: 1. Death of a Nag 2. Death of a Macho Man 3. Death of a Dentist 4. Death of a Scriptwriter 5. Death of an Addict 6. Death of a Dustman 7. Death of a Celebrity 8. Death of a Village 9. Death of a Poison Pen 10. Death of a Bore Description: Death of a Nag A busman's holiday for Hamish . . . After losing both his promotion and the lovely Priscilla Halburton-Smythe, Hamish Macbeth decides the best cure for a broken heart is a week's break at the charming coastal village of Skag. When he arrives at the Friendly House B&B,; however, he finds the ambience chilling, the food inedible and his fellow guests less than neighbourly. They include the annoying Miss Gunnery; a family from London; and Bob Harris, who so nags his wife that everyone wants to kill him. And then somebody does. Now it is up to Hamish to act - to dig deep into the past and deliver something more daunting than merely the culprit: justice. Death of a Macho Man Death accompanies a tattooed stranger to a tiny Highland town... Everyone in Lochdubh knows about the Macho Man - a mean bully claiming to be a professional wrestler and part-time explorer. His insults at the pub have caused brawls, while his furtive sneaking around arouses suspicion he is romancing some of the local wives. And when he challenges Hamish Macbeth to a public bout, it triggers an epidemic of betting. Everyone expects Hamish to take a pounding, but no one anticipates a murder instead. And amid all the excitement it's up to level-headed Hamish to track down the heartless killer of the brutal Macho Man . . . Death of a Dentist An untimely death wipes the smile from Hamish's face . . . In Scotland, where thrift and a 'nice set of dentures' are generally admired, Dr Frederick Gilchrist's cheap rates and penchant for pulling teeth have gained him quite a clientele. However, wiser Highlanders - like Hamish Macbeth - opt to steer clear of this reputed womanizer's all-too-busy hands. Only jaw-throbbing agony drives Hamish to Gilchrist's surgery, but what he finds there is the dentist's dead body - putting several angry husbands in the frame for murder . . . Death of a Scriptwriter Truth is stranger than fiction... Patricia Martyn-Broyd, now in her seventies, has retired to the Highlands. She hasn't written a word in years and her books are out of print. But now a television company is about to film her last detective story, featuring the aristocratic Scottish detective Lady Harriet Vare. Even though the snobbish Miss Martyn-Broyd doesn't care to mix with the locals, she can't help but share her excitement with local policeman Hamish Macbeth. Imagine her horror when Miss Martyn-Broyd discovers that the screenwriter is known for his violent and scurrilous scripts and that Lady Harriet Vare is to be portrayed as a pot-smoking hippy by the scene-stealing trollop Penelope Gates. But a contract is a contract, as Ms Martyn-Broyd quickly learns. And when she is accused of murdering both the scriptwriter and the...

Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics.

Fashion photographs – glamorous, provocative, beautiful, accomplished, magical – have always been associated with some of the most famous names in the history of photography, such as Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton and Mario Testino. This has been the case since the beginnings of fashion photography in the early years of the 20th century: the great American photographer Edward Steichen took what were probably the first fashion photographs in 1911 and since then some of the most distinguished practitioners have turned fashion photography into an art form. For many fashion photographers it was the editors and art directors at Condé Nast publications, such as Edna Woolman Chase, Diana Vreeland and Alexander Liberman, who launched their careers. This book, accompanying a major international exhibition, looks at the early work by such luminaries as Horst P. Horst, Erwin Blumenfield, David Bailey, Guy Bourdin, Corinne Day, Deborah Turbeville and Sølve Sundsbø as it appeared in the pages of Vogue , Glamour and other Condé Nast magazines. This creative collaboration has kept fashion photography - and Condé Nast - innovative and often challenging but always able to capture the style of the day.
