The Bond That Burns (deluxe Limited Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

The Wings That Bind (deluxe Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

<b>The extraordinarily powerful and unforgettable memoir by the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, the woman who stood up and spoke out about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell</b><br/><br/>The world knows Virginia Roberts Giuffre as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison, whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But her story has never been told in full, in her own words-until now.<br/><br/>In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. Nobody's Girl is the riveting and powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront extraordinary adversity.<br/><br/>Here, Giuffre offers an unsparing and definitive account of her time with Epstein and Maxwell, who trafficked her and others to numerous prominent men. She also details the molestation she suffered as a child, as well as her daring escape from Epstein and Maxwell's grasp at nineteen. Giuffre remade her life from scratch and summoned the courage to not only hold her abusers to account but also advocate for other victims. The narrative of Nobody's Girl preserve her voice-and her legacy-forever.<br/><br/>Nobody's Girl is an astonishing affirmation of Giuffre's unshakable will-first, to claw her way out of victimhood, and then to shine light on wrongdoing and fight for a safer, fairer world. Equal parts intimate and fierce, it is a remarkable narrative of fortitude in the face of depravity and despair.

<b>For the first time, Charlie Sheen - the star of </b><i><b>Platoon</b></i><b>, </b><i><b>Wall Street</b></i><b>, </b><i><b>Major League</b></i><b> and </b><i><b>Two and a Half Men - </b></i><b>writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir.</b><br/><br/><i>'We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former.'</i><br/><br/>Charlie Sheen shouldn't be alive to write this book. But in <i>The Book of Sheen</i>, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words. Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets - from his father's all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There, he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn and the Lowe brothers.<br/><br/>Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in <i>Ferris Bueller's Day Off</i>, a young soldier in <i>Platoon</i> and an ethically compromised trader in <i>Wall Street</i>. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in <i>Spin City </i>and <i>Two and a Half Men</i>, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.<br/><br/>Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humour, candour and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. <i>The Book of Sheen</i> reads like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life - yet it is all true.

<b>The deluxe edition of the first installment of the Hierarchy series, following a young fugitive as he uncovers layered mysteries and world-changing secrets at the elite Catenan Academy, by bestselling author James Islington.</b><br/><br/><b>Including new cover art by Jaime Jones, gold sprayed edges, colored endpapers, a map by James Islington, foil stamped three-piece case, and newly added bonus material.</b><br/><br/><b><i>AUDI. VIDE. TACE.</i></b><br/><br/>The Catenan Republic-the Hierarchy-may rule the world now, but they do not know everything.<br/><br/>I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive and my focus-what they call Will-to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.<br/><br/>I tell them that I belong, and they believe me.<br/><br/>But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart.<br/><br/>And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family.<br/><br/>To survive, though, I will still have to rise through the Academy's ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them and <i>win</i>. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me.<br/><br/>And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.
