A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros…A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin’s ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE.Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg.A young, naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals – in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg – whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.

Harry Potter spent ten long years living with Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, an aunt and uncle whose outrageous favoritism of their perfectly awful son Dudley leads to some of the most inspired dark comedy since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But fortunately for Harry, he’s about to be granted a scholarship to a unique boarding school called THE HOGWORTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, where he will become a school hero at the game of Quidditch (a kind of aerial soccer played high above the ground on broomsticks), he will make some wonderful friends, and, unfortunately, a few terrible enemies. For although he seems to be getting your run-of-the-mill boarding school experience (well, ok, even that’s pretty darn out of the ordinary), Harry Potter has a destiny that he was born to fulfill. A destiny that others would kill to keep him from.

About the Book:

Welcome to the Winchester home. Every day, I clean their beautiful house from top to bottom, pick up their daughter from school, and cook their gourmet meals. I do it all in silence, retreating each night to my tiny attic bedroom—locked from the outside.

I try to ignore the strange things Nina says. The messes she creates just for me to clean. The lies about her own child. And Andrew—her quiet, broken husband—who watches me with those haunted eyes.

I shouldn’t dream about her life. Her clothes. Her walk-in closet. Her perfect family.
But one day, I slip into one of Nina’s pristine white dresses… just for a moment.
And everything changes.

Because the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.
And they have no idea what I’m capable of…

In the electric haze of college life, three friends are bound by laughter, late-night talks and unspoken promises. But when two of them cross the line from friendship into love, everything changes. Betrayal shatters their world, leaving one friend to pick up the pieces while navigating her own complicated feelings. As friendships fracture and love grows tangled, hearts are broken, and choices become irreversible. Caught between the ache of lost friendship and the bittersweet pull of love, Dev must decide if he’s willing to risk everything―again.

My God! A whole minute of bliss! Is that really so little for the whole of a man’s life?’

A poignant tale of love and loneliness from Russia’s foremost writer.

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.

In the hauntingly beautiful pages of The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath takes us on a gripping journey into the fragile psyche of Esther Greenwood. Set against the backdrop of 1950s America, this semiautobiographical novel explores the stifling expectations placed upon women and the suffocating grasp of societal norms. As Esther grapples with her ambitions, desires and mental health, she finds herself trapped in a metaphorical bell jar—an oppressive glass enclosure that isolates her from the world.

Plath’s evocative prose and poignant portrayal of Esther’s descent into madness make The Bell Jar a timeless masterpiece that shines a searing light on the complexities of the human psyche and the unrelenting quest for self-identity.
