Titles in this set: 1. Star Wars: Heir to the Empire 2. Star Wars: Dark Force Rising 3. Star Wars: The Last Command Description: Star Wars: Heir to the Empire In this essential Star Wars Legends novel-the first ever to take place after the events of the original trilogy-Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his debut on the galactic stage. Five years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and drove the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made a vital discovery that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build. Star Wars: Dark Force Rising In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, the sequel to Heir to the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn's sinister plan threatens to spell doom for the fledgling New Republic and its most iconic heroes. The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial Fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republic Council-only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies. Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness, and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the dark side. Star Wars: The Last Command The epic story that began with Heir to the Empire reaches its dramatic conclusion in this essential Star Wars Legends novel. The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han Solo and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack, while Princess Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. The Republic has one last hope-sending a small force into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines. There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C'baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

Title In The Set: 1. The Diary of a Drug Fiend 2. Moonchild 3. The Book of Lies 4. The Book of the Law and Liber 777 5. Clouds Without Water and White Stains Description: The Diary of a Drug Fiend When the charming Sir Peter Pendragon meets Louise Laleham, the two immediately begin a whirlwind relationship, get married, and embark on a frenetic drug-fuelled European adventure. Riddled with depression and desperate to find some direction in life, Sir Peter soon experiences the intoxicating thrills and terrifying dangers of the drugs both he and his wife enjoy. Upon their return home, conflict arises as the couple try to abandon their addiction and experiment with "magick". Inspired by Aleister Crowley's own experience as a drug addict, The Diary of a Drug Fiend is a gripping story about the frenzied pursuit of pleasure and ecstasy which eventually leads to despair, ruin, and the desire for redemption. Moonchild "It is a terrible error to let any natural impulse, physical or mental, stagnate. Crush it out, if you will, and be done with it; or fulfil it, and get it out of the system. Filled with magical realism and conflict in a society guided by "magick, Moonchild is Aleister Crowley's most popular novel. When Lisa la Giuffria is manipulated and kidnapped by the magician, Cyril Grey, two opposing clans go head-to-head in a fight for power. Set in London, Paris, and Italy, Moonchild is a unique story about forced rituals and mystical philosophy. As ever, Crowley presents a mysterious and unconventional world while attempting to address thought-provoking questions about the nature of life, the balance of power, and the condition of the soul. The Book of Lies Aleister Crowley himself revealed that The Book of Lies contains "the supreme secret" of the occult organization Ordo Templi Orientis. Those looking to uncover this hidden mystery will also find many of the famed occultist's philosophies on life and spirituality. He shines a light on his exploration of the esoteric and provides readers with some insight into the practices of Free Masonry and Qabalistic teachings. This often-confounding collection of commentary will be rewarding for anyone interested in learning about Qabalah - it is a book for those who seek guidance from the master of "magick" himself. It is an unapologetically mystifying glimpse into Crowley's innermost thoughts and ideas. The Book of the Law and Liber 777 "Even as a flower unfolds beneath the ardent kisses of the Sun, so will this table reveal its glories to the dazzling eye of illumination." Packed with eye-opening insights, this combined volume reveals Aleister Crowley's innermost thoughts on life as well as the ideology he hoped humanity would come to accept more widely. In The Book of the Law, the self-proclaimed prophet of the occult outlines the key psychology and social principles of Thelema, Crowley's self-founded religious movement. Also included is an edited version of Liber 777, an informative gabalistic volume...

Titles in this set: 1. Queenie 2. Empress & Aniya 3. People Person Description: Queenie Queenie is a twenty-five-year-old Black woman living in south London, straddling Jamaican and British culture whilst slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper where she's constantly forced to compare herself to her white, middle-class peers, and beg to write about Black Lives Matter. After a messy break up from her long-term white boyfriend, Queenie finds herself seeking comfort in all the wrong places. As Queenie veers from one regrettable decision to another, she finds herself wondering, What are you doing? Why are you doing it? Who do you want to be? - the questions that every woman today must face in a world that keeps trying to provide the answers for them. A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on life, love, race and family, Queenie will have you nodding in recognition, crying in solidarity and rooting for this unforgettable character every step of the way. A disarmingly honest, boldly political and truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and acceptance and found something very different in its place. Empress & Aniya When Empress starts at Aniya’s school, they’re not exactly best friends. But, when the two teenage girls accidentally cast a spell on their 16th birthday and end up switching bodies, they quickly learn that friendship is the most important magic of all. South London’s answer to ‘Freaky Friday’, Empress and Aniya is a moving portrayal of the importance of real friendship and the ups and downs of being a teenager. People Person If you could choose your family, you wouldn't choose the Penningtons Dimple, Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce are half-siblings who don't have much in common except abandonment issues. But when a catastrophic event forces them to reconnect with each other and with Cyril Pennington, the absent father they never really knew, things start to get complicated fast . . . People Person is a propulsive story of heart, humour and homecoming, about the true nature of family and the complexities of belonging.

Titles in this set: 1. A God in Ruins 2. Life After Life Description: A God in Ruins A God in Ruins relates the life of Teddy Todd – would-be poet, heroic World War II bomber pilot, husband, father, and grandfather – as he navigates the perils and progress of the 20th century. For all Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge will be to face living in a future he never expected to have. This gripping, often deliriously funny yet emotionally devastating book looks at war – that great fall of Man from grace – and the effect it has, not only on those who live through it, but on the lives of the subsequent generations. It is also about the infinite magic of fiction. Few will dispute that it proves once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the most exceptional novelists of our age. Life After Life What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you finally got it right? During a snowstorm in England in 1910, a baby is born and dies before she can take her first breath. During a snowstorm in England in 1910, the same baby is born and lives to tell the tale. What if there were second chances? And third chances? In fact an infinite number of chances to live your life? Would you eventually be able to save the world from its own inevitable destiny? And would you even want to? Life After Life follows Ursula Todd as she lives through the turbulent events of the last century again and again. With wit and compassion, Kate Atkinson finds warmth even in life's bleakest moments, and shows an extraordinary ability to evoke the past. Here she is at her most profound and inventive, in a novel that celebrates the best and worst of ourselves.

Titles in this set: 1. Between Commitment And Betrayal 2. Between Love And Loathing 3. Between Never And Forever Description: Between Commitment And Betrayal OUR MARRIAGE ISN'T REAL. SO WHY DO OUR KISSES FEEL SO GOOD? Declan Hardy, heartthrob and retired billionaire, is my complete opposite. He's commanding: I'm cooperative. He's loud when I stay quiet. All we have in common is that both our names are on my father's will. He'll inherit an empire - and I'll keep the one thing I hold dear. But there's a catch: I have to marry him - or at least, pretend to. One year of fake marriage. One year of living together. But it's not that simple. Especially when I can't tell if his kisses are fake - and if I'm really still pretending when I kiss him back... There's a fine line between commitment and betrayal... and neither of us knows where it falls. Declan and I would never work for real - or would we? Between Love And Loathing Fake dating my enemy should be easy . . . as long as I don't fall in love with him. Dominic Hardy might have a fancy engineering degree, but he doesn't know a thing about baking. He doesn't even like sugar. So when he inherits my stepfather's resort - with my bakery in the middle of it - neither of us are happy. But then Dominic gives me a proposal I can't refuse. I'll keep my bakery, with one condition: Fake date him for five months. Keep his ex away by pretending we're in love. Stare into his piercing green eyes. Maybe share a kiss. But I loathe him and his filthy mouth. Even when he's using it on me. There's a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I've made the mistake of blurring it. Between Never And Forever My best friend's brother, Dex Hardy, was my downfall - older, forbidden, and completely irresistible. Our relationship was a secret - and he knew it had to stay one. But when Dex betrayed our privacy, I had to leave him - breaking both our hearts. Now, he's back in my life, as the owner of the casino where I work. He's become a cold, ruthless billionaire, and he wants revenge. When he finds out I'm engaged, he offers me a deal. Leave the man I'm with and be with him instead. Or else. Six months of calling Dex my finace... even as he stares at me with hardened eyes. Six months of ignoring his electrifying touches and pretending I don't love him... when I still do. The problem with faking this engagement is I'm starting to believe in forever. And neither of us can afford to.
