'A sublime novel' <b>Hannah Kent</b><br/><br/><b>An explosive novel of the wild, and the lengths humans will go to control it</b><br/><br/>The distant highlands, covered in snow and strewn with ancient bones, are an alien home for a puma from South America. But when Dusk escapes her captors, reports of killing sprees of sheep and shepherds are not long to follow.<br/><br/>The highlands are no less alien to twins Iris and Floyd, whose family history renders them outcasts. Out of work, money and friends, they hear of the significant bounty on Dusk's head. They decide to join the hunt.<br/><br/>As they journey up into the wild, haunted country, they discover there's far more to the land and people than they imagined. Forced to make an uneasy alliance with a fellow tracker, the twins' lifelong bond is put at risk. And as the trio close in on their prey, it becomes clear where the true danger lies . . .<br/><br/><b>'Magnificent' TIM WINTON, author of <i>Juice</i><br/><br/>'Starkly beautiful and deeply felt ... the pared-back textures of <i>Dusk</i>'s prose occasionally recall those of Cormac McCarthy' <i>Guardian </i>(Australia)</b>

The air glitters with hope as the snowy village of Merrywake celebrates the Christmas season after the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars.<br/><br/>As the Viscount's famous Twelfth Night Ball draws closer, many of the villagers have a story to tell - we meet a lovelorn vicar and kindly maid reunited after a misunderstanding, three sisters vying for the hand of a dastardly duke, two servants hiding a dangerous secret and a solider making his way home, unsure of the welcome he might receive. As their tales braid together, we see life and love in the village from belowstairs to high society.<br/>Reimagining each of the traditional carol's gifts, and written in tribute to Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, <i>The Twelve Days of Christmas</i> is a collection of festive tales filled with seasonal cheer and heart-warming characters. Will the challenges and mysteries that the Viscount's guests encounter be resolved by the night of the ball?<br/><br/><b>Readers love Susan:</b><br/>'So addictive... the perfect mix of historical fiction, mystery, fantasy and romance'<br/>'Wonderfully atmospheric'<br/>'A beautifully written piece of historical fiction'<br/>'Crackles with danger and mystery... a joy to read'<br/>'An utterly magical book full of secrets, love and hope'<br/>'Beautifully written, gripping and evocative'
