A Dream of Destiny: Children of the Fates

P. H.Townsend
Kyle and Mira are finally free from Pandora’s island, but destiny is far from ready to let them go. 
​
Mira’s brother has been taken by the sinister Followers, an ancient order set on freeing the imprisoned Pandora, and Mira will stop at nothing to get him back—even entering a shaky alliance with Pyrrha and the Disciples. The ages-old conflict between the two orders will decide the fate of the world, and Mira and her friends find themselves caught right in the middle of it. 
Worse, they are dreaming again. Dreams of another island, another tomb, when they still haven’t recovered from the horrors they experienced at Pandora’s prison. 

Hounded by creatures that should be confined to myth, they find themselves driven right back into the jaws of danger by the hands of fate. 

There is something in their blood that ties them to the sleeping gods, a power that could change the world. But if they are to discover what destiny has planned for them, first, they will have to survive.
 
Children of the Fates is the pulse-pounding sequel to A Dream of Destiny: Awakening, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and His Dark Materials.

One Man's Whitchurch

Terry Chard
Where did it all start? How did Whitchurch become the village we know today? How well do you know it?  
​
Of all the districts that now make up the City of Cardiff, none can match the history of Whitchurch. It was once the land of ancient Britons and tribal Welsh before being occupied by the Romans and later the Anglo-Normans. From battlefield savagery to heavy industry to elegant flower shows, One Man’s Whitchurch offers a unique take on the past, both ancient and modern, of this fascinating settlement.  

Based on reliable sources, One Man’s Whitchurch overcomes the confusing and often misleading narrative of older material. It doesn’t rewrite history, but offers an alternative view, interpreting the past in order to home in on the truth.  

A small number of influential people laid the foundations for this part of South Wales, but life was far from easy for our ancestors. One Man’s Whitchurch lays bare the difficulties faced by everyday working people, passing on the memories of generations now lost to time for the benefit of generations of today and the future. 
​
If you have a fascination for history and heritage, or simply love your local area, you will find plenty to delight you in this treasure of a book.

Coldharbour: A Gothic Tale of Love and Death

Laura Clarke Walker
Three generations preyed upon by pure evil. Two lost souls drawn to each other in the darkness. One compelling story of love, loyalty, and betrayal. 
Decades of death and deceit come to a head in a desolate Essex seaside town in October 1999. 

While everyone else is worrying about the millennium bug, Alex Wilde is staring into a sea she hasn’t seen for a month. She’s finally home and it’s time to resurrect her life: get a job, get somewhere to live that isn’t her uncle’s old haunted house, and get her teenage daughter back. 
But Coldharbour is a town of shadows and Power, the hereditary magic running through the veins of the blessed (or cursed) few, including Alex. 

When she meets Elizabeth, the intriguing new owner of the run-down café on the promenade, she knows she is no ordinary woman. However, Alex has no idea how dangerous her new acquaintance really is. 
Together, they stumble straight into a paranormal murder mystery that even the police can’t solve and, as Alex digs deeper, she starts to unravel the sinister family secrets that have stalked her since she was a child. 

Battling demons and burying ghosts, Alex will need all of her Power, courage, and Wilde ingenuity to survive.
