Charlotte Walker - Editorial Expert
Charlotte Walker is our very own Content Manager. She is a life long bookworm and Chionophile. She graduated with a first class degree in English Literature from the University of Chester (although you can't always tell from her spelling) and feels like the luckiest person in the world that her first "grown-up" job allows her to read, discuss and find out more about fantastic books all day long.
Threshing Day is when Basgiath War College cadets earn the right to bond a dragon, or die trying. Here we see it through the eyes of thirteen of our favourite characters, including the making of the ruthless wingleader Xaden Riorson. Discover how each rider and dragon find each other, whether they meet their match or form a partnership that balances them out. Ridoc and Aotrom’s dynamic had me laughing out loud, being reunited with Liam bruised my still-healing heart, and Sloane’s story broke it all over again.
It’s highlighted at pertinent points within the ... View Full Review

After the jaw-dropping ending of Silvercloak, I have been waiting with bated breath for the next instalment in the saga. Following immediately on from the disastrous events at the end of the first book (If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend you do), undercover turncloak Saffron Killoran’s revenge was snatched away, leading her down an even more turbulent path, determined to use her long-dormant power to set things right for herself and for the enemy she’s fallen for. Meanwhile, Levan Celadon finds himself kingpin of the Bloodmoons and betrayed by the one he ... View Full Review
A romance about two of the things I love most: books and baked goods.

Louise was a successful editor until one big mistake sent her fleeing for the comfort and safety of her Yorkshire home of Applethwaite. While fighting off her mother’s hopes that she’ll step in to take over the family bakery, she ... View Full Review
