ABOUT THE BOOK
An epic fantasy about a world on the brink of war with dragons – and the women who must lead the fight to save it.
The House of Berethnet has ruled Inys for a thousand years. Still unwed, Queen Sabran the Ninth must conceive a daughter to protect her realm from destruction – but assassins are getting closer to her door. Ead Duryan, an outsider at court, has risen to lady-in-waiting, but her true loyalty is to a hidden society of mages, and she secretly protects the queen with forbidden magic.
Across the dark sea, Tané has trained since childhood to be a dragonrider, but is forced to make a choice that could see her life unravel. Meanwhile East and West refuse to talk, and the forces of chaos are rising from their sleep.

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi
Shannon Chakraborty
A tale of pirates and sorcerers, forbidden artefacts and ancient mysteries on the high seas of the medieval Indian Ocean.
Titus Groan
Mervyn Peake
A brilliantly sustained flight of gothic imagination, and the first novel of the Gormenghast trilogy.
Piranesi
Susanna Clarke
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls.
