A dramatic novel of passion, politics and betrayal from the author of The Other Boleyn Girl. Mary, Queen of Scots, fights to regain her kingdom whilst under the guard of Queen Elizabeth's trusted accomplice, Bess of Hardwick. Mary is Queen of Scotland but she has been forced to flee her land and take refuge in an England that is ruled by her cousin Elizabeth. But England doesn't need a charismatic Catholic figurehead at large. So Elizabeth's chief advisor devises a plan in which Mary will live under guard with his trusted accomplice: Bess of Hardwick. Bess is newly married to her fourth and most distinguished husband, but what marriage can withstand the charms of Mary? Or the threat of rebellion that she always carries? Mary must wait in her privileged imprisonment for the return to Scotland and her infant son; but waiting is not the same as doing nothing!

This book presents a definitive investigation into the fall of the mighty Knights Templar and their last Grand Master. It is written by one of France's greatest medieval scholars and now re-issued with important new material. In 1307, King Philip, the Fair of France and Pope Clement V brought to trial one of the most powerful institutions of the medieval world: the Order of the Knights of the Temple. Alain Demurger reopens the case and tells the story of the Order's Grand Master, Jacques de Molay. He examines the arrests, the trials, the transcripts of the inquisitions and Molay's own devastating confession in this study of one of the most gruesome episodes of European history.

Attending Oxford, student Victor Frankenstein’s interest in the new philosophy of science is sparked. Perhaps there is no God. In which case, where is the divine spark, the soul? Frankenstein begins his anatomy experiments in a secluded village of near Oxford. The coroner's office provides corpses,but they are often damaged and putrifying. He moves to a deserted pottery in Limehouse. And, from there he makes contact with the Doomesday Men - the resurrectionists. He pays better than any hospital for bodies. Even so, perfect specimens are hard to come by ...until that Thames-side dawn when Victor hears the splashing of oars and sees that slung into the stern of the boat is the corpse of a handsome young man, one hand trailing in the water...
