Book Description

Two sisters. Two strange tattoos. Two lives about to change beyond recognition. Firstly, they’re about to learn that supernatural beings exist. Secondly, despite being adopted, they’re about to learn they’re connected in ways almost impossible to comprehend. And thirdly, those supernatural beings mentioned above? Well, these two sisters are about to learn that they’re exactly that: supernaturals. Adopted sisters Lana Beth and Emma Jane are polar opposites, not only is one black and one white, but they couldn’t be more different in character either. And when the same strange 'tattoo' suddenly appears and winds its way up their bodies within days of each other, they soon realise there's more to their relationship than they could ever have imagined. Sent off to London for two weeks of so-called ‘work experience', the Morgan Sisters soon find themselves being initiated into the ancient Praxos Foundation, one that protects the innocent while fighting evil, both human and supernatural. A series full of action and adventure, it’s the ultimate fight between good and evil. "S G Turner has done it again! Her books get better and better.... this had me gripped from the start!" “Such an incredible story. The Morgan sisters are powerful ladies. Wish there was a sequel to continue the story of the Morgan sisters journey as adults. Love all the books and recommend them to all my friends and family.” BUY the Praxos Academy Box Set and explore the darker side of magic TODAY! Daisy Madigan’s Paradise "A fantastically evocative YA novella perfect for both younger and older teens.” When tragedy falls upon 15-year-old Daisy Madigan, she escapes to the only place she feels safe, the cemetery of Abney Park. There, in the company of the dearly departed, she realises she is changing, growing stronger and faster by the day. But in the darkness lurks a terror even she can't imagine facing. Daisy Madigan's Paradise is a Morgan Sisters novella. Check out The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw, the first full-length novel in the series. The Ghost of Josiah Grimshaw "I would go so far as to say that this book could be the beginnings of a series as good as those by J.K. Rowling!" Adopted sisters Lana Beth and Emma Jane are polar opposites, but when the same strange 'tattoo' suddenly appears and winds its way up their bodies within days of each other, they soon realise there's more to their relationship than they could ever have imagined. Sent off to London for two weeks of 'work experience', the Morgan Sisters soon find themselves being initiated into the ancient Praxos Foundation, one that protects the innocent while fighting evil, both human and supernatural. At the same time, Lana Beth and Emma Jane must also investigate why the sweet but sometimes pesky ghost of Josiah Grimshaw just won't leave them alone. The Temporal Stone "S G Turner has done it again! Her books get better and better.... this had me gripped from the start!" It's been a couple of months since Emma and Lana entered the Praxos Academy and life has been hectic ever since. What with regular A level classes combined with learning all about the supernatural world, control classes, self-defence and fight night, the girls are constantly busy. But when their world seems to stop right in front of them, they and their fellow Watchers, have a huge mystery to solve. A mystery which will lead them on a long road trip across south-west England where they will meet all kinds of strange creatures, some intent on causing harm and others desperate to put a stop to the problem. Looking for Lucy Jo “Turner gives us a little bit of everything in these pages: adventure, the supernatural, excitement, mystery, and light romance all wrapped up in a great storyline.” It's their first Christmas since entering the Praxos Academy and 16-year-old sisters Lana Beth and Emma Jane Morgan are looking forward to some serious R&R. But when their little sister mysteriously disappears from her bed on Christmas Eve, all thoughts of fun disappear with her. Emma and Lana must do everything in their power to locate Lucy Jo and bring her home safely. Easier said than done, they are forced to go on yet another journey, this time taking them out to the murky depths of the North Sea as well as to the far reaches of southern Portugal. Another action-packed tale with a little bit of everything from adventure and excitement to mystery and light romance. We Stand Against Evil “Such an incredible story. The Morgan sisters are powerful ladies. Wish there was a sequel to continue the story of the Morgan sisters journey as adults. Love all four books and recommend them to all my friends and family.” Eleanor Hayden-Jones, the Guardian of the Fourth House of Praxos, has been kidnapped and it’s up to the Morgan Sisters to use their unique skills and special powers to find her. Can they get to her before it’s too late? Kidnapped by the cruel and twisted Madge Sophokles, Eleanor could be anywhere in the world. The girls, along with a few of their Mentors, have little to go on, other than a vague idea that she might be in Canada. A story full of action and adventure, it’s the ultimate fight between good and evil. A great book for lovers of The Magicians, Harry Potter, Vampire Academy, Morganville Vampires & Percy Jackson

Book Description

The empire of the Shaa had lasted 10 millennia. 10,000 years of terror, infinite violence and oppressive, brutal order, legitimised by The Praxis, the harsh code of ethics that they imposed on the races they conquered. But the Shaa began to commit ritual suicide when it became clear that their near immortality came at a price. For each Shaa there would come a time when their vast minds were no longer capable of absorbing new information: their memories were full. Now the Shaa are no more, but the terror and violence are only beginning. The death of the last of the Shaa leaves the galaxy-wide empire leaderless, and into this power vacuum flow the pretenders to the throne: the Naxids, oldest client race of the Shaa, who believe themselves inheritors of the empire; and a frail alliance of the remaining races, including humanity. And so, the story of a dread empire's fall begins...

RAVEN WITCH SAGA BOX SET RAVEN “I want to start by saying how epic this book was! I'm a teenager (I'm using my mum’s account) and I felt this is (almost, it's definitely in the top 3) the best book I've read" "Refreshingly different from the usual YA novels" "There are so many feelings you want to get back to. With books I want that Twilight feeling back, that Harry Potter feeling-and RAVEN gives it! I'm so happy I get to look forward to a series that I love again" "I was gripped from start to finish. This book is a must for any Twilight fans out there. Raven has everything you expect from a fantasy novel and more" "...the perfect book for the young (younger) adult reader who enjoys the supernatural. It's easy to read, no sex or horrible violence, so it's very suitable for even younger readers" Shape shifters, witches, vampires, werewolves, werecats, ghosts…. these are just some of the creatures you’ll find hiding in plain sight in a small Canadian town in British Columbia. A town that is about to welcome a girl from England. A girl whose parents have mysteriously vanished. A girl whose life is about to change beyond all imagination… After the inexplicable disappearance of Lilly Taylor's parents, she has no choice but to move to Canada where she unravels some frightening yet intriguing family secrets... Her whole life had been based on a lie. Lilly had grown up in a loveless home with a father who she had barely ever seen and a mother who was... well, not very motherly. After they mysteriously disappear without a trace, Lilly is sent to Canada where she finds a whole new way of life. A life filled with love and people who care for her. But that's not all she discovers, Lilly also finds out that she isn't who, or what, she thinks she is. Lilly has a very special ability and it's just a matter of time before her true self starts to shine. And when it does, her life will never be the same again. DECEMBER MOON What would you do if you found out you’re actually a descendant from a family of witches? And your best friend, who now lives on another continent, is in extreme danger from one of the world’s most evil vampires? Would you do everything in your power to keep her safe? This is the very question December Moon must answer. But first, she must delve into her family history and find out the truth about who she really is, and where she comes from. Questions her quirky, yet dead, grandmother might be able to answer… THE LOST SOUL When December Moon starts hearing strange voices in her head, it becomes clear that someone is in danger. But who - and where - is he? Best friends December and Lilly have got their work cut out for them. Not only are they desperately trying to figure out the identity of the Lost Soul, and track him down, they've also got to investigate why Powell River's newest red-hot resident has got all of their men falling at her feet. But when they learn that the Nephilim might be involved, it becomes clear that they're ALL in extreme danger... A great series for lovers of Maggie Stiefvater, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling & Jules Verne.

Book Description

The concept of revolution marks the ultimate horizon of modern politics. It is instantiated by sites of both hope and horror. Within progressive thought, “revolution” often perpetuates entrenched philosophical problems: a teleological philosophy of history, economic reductionism, and normative paternalism. At a time of resurgent uprisings, how can revolution be reconceptualized to grasp the dynamics of social transformation and disentangle revolutionary practice from authoritarian usurpation? Eva von Redecker reconsiders critical theory’s understanding of radical change in order to offer a bold new account of how revolution occurs. She argues that revolutions are not singular events but extended processes: beginning from the interstices of society, they succeed by gradually rearticulating social structures toward a new paradigm. Developing a theoretical account of social transformation, Praxis and Revolution incorporates a wide range of insights, from the Frankfurt School to queer theory and intersectionality. Its revised materialism furnishes prefigurative politics with their social conditions and performative critique with its collective force. Von Redecker revisits the French Revolution to show how change arises from struggle in everyday social practice. She illustrates the argument through rich literary examples—a ménage à trois inside a prison, a radical knitting circle, a queer affinity group, and petitioners pleading with the executioner—that forge a feminist, open-ended model of revolution. Praxis and Revolution urges readers not only to understand revolutions differently but also to situate them elsewhere: in collective contexts that aim to storm manifold Bastilles—but from within.
