Swan Song: Diana, my sister
In September 1997, Charles Spencer stood in Westminster Abbey before a watching world and shared his grief at losing his beloved sister, Diana. Now, nearly thirty years later, he tells the astonishing story of his life with Diana and the tragic week of her death.

In childhood, Charles and Diana, the youngest Spencers, were inseparable – secretly calling one another Duch and Carlos. As each other’s closest confidantes, they roamed the family estate, endured extremely challenging boarding schools, survived terrifying nannies, and helped each other through the agony of their parents’ divorce.

Yet everything changed when Diana married the Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, and overnight became a global icon. Charles saw his older sister serve the world’s marginalized and relish being mother to her treasured sons.

But, pursued by a barbaric press as her royal marriage crumbled, she was left desperately alone. Charles always tried to be there for Diana – until that black night in August, 1997.

In Swan Song, Charles Spencer provides the most intimate, loving, and honest portrait yet of his sister.

El canto del Cisne. Diana, mi hermana
Hermosa. Querida. Perseguida. La extraordinaria vida y muerte de Diana, contada por su hermano, Charles.

«Cuando me preguntan: “¿Qué significó crecer junto a Diana?”, mi primer pensamiento siempre es “Pero si no sé qué significa no crecer junto a ella…”».

En septiembre de 1997, Charles Spencer se puso en pie en la abadía de Westminster ante un mundo que observaba y compartió su dolor por la pérdida de su querida hermana Diana. Ahora, casi treinta años más tarde, cuenta la extraordinaria historia de su vida junto a ella y la trágica semana de su muerte. Durante su infancia, Charles y Diana, los menores de los Spencer, fueron inseparables; en secreto, se llamaban el uno al otro Duch y Carlos.

Unidos por una profunda confianza mutua, juntos corretearon por la finca familiar, soportaron internados muy duros, sobrevivieron a niñeras aterradoras y se ayudaron a superar la tristeza por el divorcio de sus padres.

Pero todo cambió cuando Diana se casó con el príncipe de Gales, hoy rey Carlos III, y de la noche a la mañana se convirtió en un icono global. Charles presenció cómo su hermana mayor se entregaba a los marginados del mundo y disfrutaba del papel de madre de sus adorados hijos.

Sin embargo, perseguida por una prensa feroz mientras el matrimonio real se desmoronaba, Diana quedó abandonada a su suerte. Charles siempre estuvo a su lado… hasta aquella noche fatídica de agosto de 1997.

En El canto del cisne, Charles Spencer ofrece el retrato más íntimo, afectuoso y sincero que se ha escrito hasta el momento sobre su hermana, la princesa Diana.

The Weight of Angels
Can one rash decision prove the difference between a life well lived and a life destroyed?

When the Marquess of Queensberry left his calling card at the Albemarle Club in February 1895, it bore only his name and five words: “For Oscar Wilde, posing somdomite.” The most celebrated playwright of his day famously sued for libel, which led to his arrest, criminal prosecution, and ultimately prison. From then on, his gilded existence spiraled into public disgrace, humiliation, and an early death.

But what if he had simply ignored the insult? What direction might his life have taken? This is the premise of John Boyne’s extraordinary new novel, The Weight of Angels. Rather than dying in penury in Paris at age forty-six, what if Wilde had lived to bear witness to the momentous events and cataclysmic changes of the first part of the twentieth century, and even influence some of them? What if the second half of his life were as dramatic, tumultuous, and exhilarating as the first?

In imagining the life that Oscar Wilde never had, John Boyne has written one of the great what-if stories of modern literature, giving the iconic Anglo-Irish poet and playwright a fresh new voice and the opportunity to take an entirely different path.

Mestra, daughter of the King of Thessaly, is granted a unique gift by Poseidon: The ability to transform herself into any being she can imagine.

Her father, on the other hand, is cursed. As punishment for disrespecting the goddess Demeter, he is in possession of an unnatural, insatiable hunger.

Soon she must decide: Will she keep helping her father survive or finally break free?

The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan
Galornus Prime was the Demon Overlord. He had defeated the Hero and done everything worth doing – some of it more than once.

His retirement plan was simple: get a goat, farm quietly in the small town of Lower Middleton, and avoid accidentally conquering anything. The plan didn’t include soul-crushing town halls, after-school combat lessons with children, and an undergarment-based war with the rose-growing widow next door.

When corrupt officials and greedy merchants threaten his infuriatingly loveable neighbors, Galornus faces a new kind of challenge: saving the village without revealing he is the monster parents invoke to make children eat their vegetables.

The Demon Overlord’s Retirement Plan is a cozy fantasy with teeth, where the hardest battle isn’t defeating heroes—it’s staying retired and learning how to live after 444 lifetimes of villainy.
