Into her ear Baru whispered one word in Urun, the tongue of Tain Hu’s blood. She stepped closer, quick, like an assassin gutting the duchess, and with her right hand she grabbed a fistful of Hu’s hair. She grinned and Baru couldn’t stand that grin on that fierce unbreakable face. And the air between them shivered, like steppe grass under silver cloud, with the charge of their grief and their resolve. Now Baru came close to offer her the manacles that would kill her. “I will remember,” Baru hissed through raw-bitten lips. Remember the man in the iron circlet, and the ledger of secrets.” She gave Baru her arsenal, and her hope, and her faith. Until the dawn hours Tain Hu had whispered hoarse strategy to Baru: the names of her agents, and the shape of her plans. The Duchess Tain Hu smelled of brine and cold stone and the onions of her last meal. AT sunrise Baru shackled the prisoner for her drowning.

Here are Sarra's 10 best new book to read this month. Exciting Times Naoise Dolan Longlisted for Women’s Prize for Fiction 2021 When you leave Ireland aged 22 to spend your parents’ money, it’s called a gap year. "Elsewhere there are This Family and Service, two novels I expect to see on a lot of awards shortlists and a compelling crime novel, No One Saw A Thing, which will keep you up all night reading. However, El in Laura Kay’s Wild Things is a far more relatable heroine and one you’ll really root for." "There are also some unforgettable characters like June, the deliciously loathsome protagonist in publishing industry thriller Yellowface, which has caused a real buzz and the chaotic and badly behaved Greta and the eponymous Big Swiss in Jen Beagin’s Big Swiss, which will soon be on your TV screens too.

Someone knows where Anna is - and they’re not telling. Anna’s best friend, Sarah, hasn’t been telling the whole truth about what really happened that night - and her parents have been keeping secrets of their own. Then an anniversary appeal reveals that Anna’s friends and family might have something to hide. Someone is sending her threatening letters - letters that make her fear for her life. Ella is wracked with guilt over what she failed to do, and she’s not the only one who can’t forget.

What would it take to make you intervene? Covering 1,000 years of history and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in Central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. The new series Ultimate Rome: Empire Without Limit is on BBC2.
