The idea of the maze taps into so many subconscious notions: the game, the quest, the spiritual journey. Perhaps this is the key to their enduring appeal. This beautifully illustrated book will delight lovers of mazes, acting as a guide, directory, and puzzle book combined. Specially commissioned illustrations by Thibaud Hérem represent 60 real and imagined mazes from around the world, with a bird's eye view of each maze so that readers can make their own journey. Each maze is also accompanied by a fascinating and witty short history.

A Most Relentless Gentleman


Book Description

A lord with two lives, a woman with a broken heart, a scandalous bargain, and a second chance for love… Cameron, Lord Deverall, appears to be a completely dissolute dandy, a favorite at London’s fanciest parties, relied upon to speak of nothing serious. In reality, he is a member of the Zodiac, England’s elite spy ring. He can’t let anyone close enough to him learn the truth—especially not his lovely, estranged wife. Unfortunately, he needs her for his next mission. Lady Genevieve hasn’t seen her maddening husband in three years. Heartbroken after catching him in a scandalous encounter, Gen tossed him out and turned her attention to her heart’s solace: helping London’s poorest children. If she can’t have a family of her own, she’ll be a mother to the world, without Cameron at her side. But fate brings Cameron and Genevieve together once again, when he offers her a deal she can’t refuse. All she needs to do is let Cameron back into her life for a little while…just long enough to uncover his darkest secrets. Just long enough to learn they’re being pursued by a shadowy nemesis.
