NAMED AS ONE OF THE BBC'S 100 MOST INSPIRING NOVELS 'It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination . . .' Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own. Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course. Rincewind is the world's worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself. And the whole thing's just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge . . . 'If you've never read a Discworld novel, what's the matter with you?' Guardian 'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own' The Times The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

'There is a curse. They say: may you live in interesting times . . .' This is the worst thing you can wish on a citizen of Discworld. Especially for the magically challenged Rincewind, who has already had far too much excitement in his life. Unfortunately, the unlucky wizard always seems to end up in the middle of, well, absolutely everything. So when a request for a 'Great Wizzard' arrives from the faraway Counterweight Continent, it's obviously Rincewind who's sent. For one thing, he's the only one who spells wizard that way. Once again Rincewind is thrown headfirst into a dangerous adventure. For the oldest empire on the Disc is in turmoil and Chaos is building. And, for some reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a vital role in the coming war . . . 'Pratchett is a comic genius' Daily Express 'Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre' Observer Interesting Times is the fifth book in the Wizards series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

"She is his curse, the one thing that Athea created to be Konstantin's downfall, and inside, Van holds a monster who is falling for it." Walking among humans are beings far different from their own. However, both their worlds are more intertwined than it seems. Revered as a god by his own kind, Van Volkov holds one of the four remaining Lycans, Konstantin. His golden eyes command great attention. Bound to protect the shifters for eternity, he has blocked out all forms of emotions he considered a weakness and formed a steel wall around him. That was until a group of rogue shifters attacked and killed a nearby campsite. Because of the Alpha that he is, Van has to safeguard the territory and keep the attack under wraps. But something made Konstantin ill at ease - a human child had survived. And as if by fate, he finds the key to unlocking his hidden humanity. But after he took the child under his care, something that he has never imagined, nightmarish things start to unfold, and a prophecy of long ago begins to unravel. Just when he thought that everything has been put under control, the truth is, the story has only just started. What if the prophecy is true? Finding out that the child is the reason for his demise and all the shifters he is supposed to protect, he has but one crucial decision to make... Will he choose the lady or the wolf? Prepare to be enthralled with the mysteries that bound the lady and the Lycan in this first book of the Lady and the Wolf series. Grab a copy now!
