As he is nursed back to health by a local fisherman, two things become very clear: he has no idea who he is, and he can kill a man with terrifying ease.  The fisherman is a tiellan, a race which has long been oppressed and grown wary of humans. His daughter, Winter, is a seemingly quiet young woman, but behind her placid mask she has her demons. She is addicted to frostfire - a substance that both threatens to destroy her and simultaneously gives her phenomenal power.   A young priestess, Cinzia, hears the troubling news of an uprising in her native city of Navone. Absconding from the cloistered life that she has kept for the last seven years, she knows she must make the long journey home. The flames of rebellion threatening her church and all that she believes in are bad enough, but far worse is the knowledge that the heretic who sparked the fire is her own sister.  These three characters may have set out on different paths, but fate will bring them together on one thrilling and perilous adventure. Their fates and those of others will intertwine, in a land where magic and daemons are believed dead, but dark forces still vie for power.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39246133723333,"sku":"9781783299157","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/s-l640_8532db13-34ca-4f06-b009-3aead5e61c5b.jpg?v=1614129964"},{"product_id":"9781409175070-happy-finding-joy-in-every-day-and-letting-go-of-perfect","title":"Happy: Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Fearne Cotton\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Paperback \/ softback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 272\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Wonderfully honest and relatable, and it's also extremely comforting and reassuring too' MIND, No.1 Mental Health charity    'I recommend this for anyone who's looking to find true consistent happiness' Craig David    \"This book is a way to release what's going on inside your head and  to keep heading towards the good stuff.

So, when part-time blues musician, frustrated home renovator, and full-time private detective Gabriel Praest agrees to investigate the matter because his ex-the one who got away-asked him to, he knew it was a no-win case.  But as Gabriel starts to ask questions, his face meets with the fists of Russian gangsters; the Danish prime minister asks him for a favor; and he starts to realize that something may be rotten in the state of Denmark.  Wondering if Yousef was framed to heighten the local anti-Muslim sentiment, Gabriel follows a trail back in time to World War II when anti-Semitism was raging in Europe during the German occupation of Denmark. Fearing a nationalistic mindset has resurfaced, Gabriel rolls up the sleeves of his well-cut suit and gets to work. From the cobblestone streets of Copenhagen to the historic Strassen of Berlin where the sounds of the steel-toed boots of marching Nazis still linger, Gabriel finds that some very powerful Danes don't want him digging into the case-as the secrets he unearths could shake the foundations of Danish identity.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44196100866267,"sku":"9780063235519","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780063235519.jpg?v=1690426597"},{"product_id":"9781529331585-of-fangs-and-talons","title":"Of Fangs and Talons","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Nicolas Mathieu\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Paperback \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 368\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE FIRST NOVEL BY NICOLAS MATHIEU, WINNER OF THE 2018 PRIX GONCOURT    A literary crime novel of the new social order, where the white lower class blames their bosses, the Arabs, the rich, and the whole world at the same time...

His Copenhagen restaurant, Noma, was recognized as the best in the world by the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurant awards in 2010 and received the unique 'Chef's Choice' award at the same ceremony in 2009. Redzepi operates at the cutting edge of gourmet cuisine, combining an unrelenting creativity and a remarkable level of craftsmanship with an inimitable and innate knowledge of the produce of his Nordic terroir.   At Noma, which Redzepi created from a derelict eighteenth-century warehouse in 2003 after previously working at both elBulli and The French Laundry, diners are served exquisite concoctions, such as 'Newly-Ploughed Potato Field' or 'The snowman from Jukkasjarvi', all painstakingly constructed to express their amazing array of Nordic ingredients. Redzepi's fascination with giving his diners a real taste of their food's environment extends to serving dishes on pebbles found in the same fields as his produce. His search for ingredients involves foraging amongst local fields for wild produce, sourcing horse-mussels from the Faroe Islands and the purest possible water from Greenland. Redzepi has heightened the culinary philosophy of seasonally and regionally sourced sustainable ingredients to an exquisite level, and in doing so has created an utterly delicious cuisine.  NOMA is an unprecedented opportunity to learn about Redzepi and Noma's history and philosophy, the sourcing of ingredients, the experimentation behind the dishes and the cultural significance of dining at Noma. Accompanying this insight into Redzepi's world will be over 90 of Redzepi's recipes, by far the most comprehensive collection ever published. The book will also feature a series of specially commissioned photographs, illustrating the food and atmosphere of Noma, as well as the Nordic environment that lies at the heart of Redzepi's cuisine.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44659545309403,"sku":"9780714859033-RETAIL","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780714859033.jpg?v=1702980757"},{"product_id":"9781409156765-retail-mindfulness-plain-simple","title":"Mindfulness Plain \u0026 Simple","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Oli Doyle\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Paperback \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 160\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMINDFULNESS PLAIN \u0026amp; SIMPLE provides the tools, tips and tricks you need to de-stress and de-clutter your mind.

When Siobhan Curham decided to write a book about happiness there was only one small problem, which became a massive problem as soon as she sat down to write - she wasn't truly happy.    Not wanting to be a fraud, Siobhan set out to discover the secret to true and lasting happiness. Her quest took her on an unexpected path deep into the heart of the world's spiritual traditions.    SOMETHING MORE is a funny and moving account of Siobhan's journey, as she found religion - and promptly lost it again - then went on to develop her own spiritual 'pick and mix' of practises from Buddhist chanting, Irish yoga, Jewish philosophy and Reiki healing, to connecting with her inner goddess and finding her shamanic spirit animal (who, it turns out, was a large, black, talking horse).    Full of brutally honest anecdotes and age-old wisdom, SOMETHING MORE is for anyone who has ever thought about exploring their spiritual side, and those who might feel disillusioned by organised religion but still crave that elusive 'something more'. After all, who wouldn't want to find inner peace and everlasting happiness?","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45322866622683,"sku":"9780349420837","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9780349420837_abe00e18-f6d8-4e76-9364-fbaafab7f5dc.jpg?v=1713181723"},{"product_id":"9781399700665-still-points-a-guide-to-living-the-mindful-meditative-way","title":"Still Points: A Guide to Living the Mindful, Meditative Way","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Brother Richard Hendrick\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFormat: Hardback\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNumber of Pages: 368\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an uncertain world, we all seek a sense of security and inner peace.

Leading the investigation into this peculiar death  is DI Shanti Joyce and her partner, Vincent Caine. To Shanti's chagrin the pair have become known as 'the go-to team for weird stuff in the West Country' and this festive fatality is the mother and Father Christmas of odd and ritualistic crimes.     Amidst the swirling flurries of Salisbury Plain, the unlikely duo discover that the deceased is none other than Hector Lovell-Finch, the eccentric Earl of Lovell Court, known to all as 'Finch' - and who also happens to be the father of the notoriously right-wing MP, Quentin Lovell-Finch.     It is no secret that relations between father and son have become decidedly frosty since Finch's acrimonious divorce from Quentin's mother, his conversion to environmentalism, and second marriage to an indigenous Brazilian environmentalist half his age. Now there is the icy issue of who will inherit the ancient Lovell-Finch Estate.     To make things more complicated, single mum Shanti has faithfully promised her son, Paul a magical Christmas with all the trimmings.
