<strong>It's THE hottest romantasy sensation that EVERYONE is talking about! </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>What do you get if you mix <em>Fourth Wing </em>with<em> Zodiac Academy</em>, a dash of Arthurian legend, and lots and lots of vampires? </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Welcome to Bloodwing Academy.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood.</strong> <br/><br/>.......... <br/><br/> <strong>The reader reviews say it all! </strong> <br/><br/><strong>'If you love dragons, academia, trials, vampires, and spice, you will absolutely devour this book!' </strong> <br/><br/><strong>'This is a slow burn romance, and I could barely handle the tension, banter, pining, and angst ... it was immaculate' </strong> <br/><br/><strong>'I think this might be my favourite book of the year - actually, it probably is! From the enticing plot to the angst-filled relationship, everything about it was perfect' </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>'This was definitely like <em>Zodiac Academy</em> meets <em>Fourth Wing</em> but stands on its own. Fae, Vampires, and Dragons! I mean, come on!! How amazing' </strong> <br/><br/>.......... <br/><br/>I didn't sign up for this. <br/><br/>A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for torment. <br/><br/>I'm Medra Pendragon - last of the dragon riders, or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. <br/><br/>But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow. Cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like he owns me, but I'm not going down without a fight. <br/><br/>Bloodwing isn't just a school - it's a battlefield. Highbloods fight for power, and if you're weak? You're dead. <br/><br/>Between deadly competitions, lies that could get me executed, and a dragon-shaped secret looming over my head, all I have to do is survive. Easy, right? Except I'm starting to think the real danger isn't the academy - it's what I'm becoming in this twisted game of power. <br/><br/>And Blake? He might just be the one who pushes me over the edge. <br/><br/>They think they can control me. They think they can use me. <br/><br/>But they have no idea what they've awakened. <br/><br/>........ <br/><br/> <strong>Perfect for fans of:</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Dragons, Vampires and Fae</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Slow-burn and spice</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Enemies-to-lovers and fated mates</strong> <br/><br/>.......... <br/><br/> <strong>Readers can't stop praising<em> On Wings of Blood</em>:</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>'These two are everything. Their humour? Their BANTER? God tier' </strong> <br/><br/><strong>'I binged this in two days because I simply couldn't stop. It's a mix of <em>Fourth Wing, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, </em>and <em>Zodiac Academy</em> and I need the next book immediately' </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>'The narrative is flawless and weaves beautifully around a fantastical and timeless dark world' </strong> <br/><br/> <strong>'I laughed, I cried, and I swooned, what more could I ask for?' </strong>

Really Easy Piano - Michael Jackson [Bok / Häftad]

<b>The story of how David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation.</b><br/><br/>In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked.<br/><br/>From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. <br/><br/>Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

Set in a world of powerful female nobles and the women who love them... Kate, Duke of Howard, is known throughout Europe as a merciless autocrat not to be crossed. Consumed by a bitter rivalry, she avoids society and has vowed never to trap a woman into marriage with a monster like herself. The beautiful, ambitious courtesan Celine Genet once threw herself on the mercy of the visiting Duke of Howard. She was desperate to escape the guillotine. But after a night of searing passion, the duke left her to the ravages of Revolutionary Paris and didn't look back. Now Celine is in London and in possession of a dangerous letter that proves the Duke of Howard committed treason as a child - and possibly even murder. Celine wants a titled husband in return for keeping the duke's secret, leaving Kate no choice but to parade her around the most fashionable ballrooms. But as Celine takes society by storm, Kate finds herself growing fond of the woman set on destroying her. And as their attraction mounts, Kate faces an impossible choice: keep her childhood secret, or win the woman she loves. Anna Cowan's The Duke is an utterly unforgettable, page-turning romance featuring two women who, separately, are a danger to each other, but together, could be the most powerful duo London has ever seen.

<b>A landmark account of Paul McCartney's triumphant musical reinvention in the 1970s and the rise of one of the decade's most iconic bands<br/></b><br/>As the Sixties came to a close, Paul McCartney was faced with the daunting prospect of being a solo artist for the first time. Wings' ascension to the top of the charts with classic albums including <i>Band on the Run</i>, <i>Venus and Mars </i>and <i>At the Speed of Sound</i>, along with the band's stadium-filling live shows, would prove to critics and fans that not all great acts are impossible to follow. <i>Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run</i> is a rousing, stereophonic celebration of the songs, collaborations and performances that would shape the soundtrack of the late 20th century.<br/><br/>Drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with McCartney and numerous key players in the band's orbit, <i>Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run </i>weaves together the improbable trajectory of Paul McCartney and his newly formed band (featuring co-founding members Linda McCartney and Denny Laine) across the technicolor 1970s until their dissolution in 1981.
