The revelatory, much-anticipated memoir from the Wall Street Journal reporter who was wrongly imprisoned in Putin's Russia for more than a year--a glimpse inside the perils and contradictions of a country in the midst of autocracy

"[Gershkovich's] memoir is proof that even during that harrowing time, his reporter's eye remained as sharp as ever."--The New York Times, "The Nonfiction Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2026"

In March 2023, a year after Russia invaded Ukraine, Evan Gershkovich met with a union boss connected with a Russian tank factory. As the journalist sat with his source in an empty restaurant in an industrial city 900 miles east of Moscow, a squad of masked agents charged in, blindfolded Evan, and dragged him into an unmarked van. The agents were from the FSB, Putin's powerful security service, and the successor to the Soviet-era KGB.

Five years earlier, Evan had arrived in Moscow to jumpstart his journalism career. His parents had left the Soviet Union in the 1970s, forging a middle-class life in New Jersey, where Evan grew up on Soviet-era cartoons and weekend trips to Brighton Beach. In Moscow, Evan dove into life--unpacking politics for readers of The Moscow Times and developing a circle of deep friendships with Russian peers, all striving to make their way in perilous times.

Western journalists had long felt insulated from the dangers their Russian counterparts experienced. But war, it seemed, had changed the rules. Interrogated for hours after his arrest, Evan was told he was being charged with spying and thrown in Moscow's notorious Lefortovo prison--a pawn in a geopolitical chess match.

After his world suddenly shrunk to a tiny, cement-walled cell, Evan did something remarkable: he continued reporting. For the next sixteen months, he documented a life in Russia that few Westerners will ever experience: its sprawling prison system, with its own vocabulary and customs--and surprising pockets of humanity.

In writing by turns riveting and humorous, Evan brings readers inside the events leading to his arrest, his nearly 500 days in Russian prisons, and the blockbuster, multi-country prisoner swap that freed him. More than a prison memoir, This Cursed Beautiful Land is an extraordinary, deeply reported chronicle of a misunderstood people and their land--marked at once by stunning beauty and a haunting history.

What use is a dragon rider who can't fly?

That's the brutal reality Aeden Harrington faces after bonding with a dragon that should never have hatched, a consecrated egg, hidden, marked as dead and untouchable. Worse still, he formed the forbidden bond before Aviara Academy's official ceremony, shattering ancient tradition and painting a target on his back before he even sets foot in the sky.

Starting as the Academy's newest Initiate was supposed to be a chance to rise above his past. To master the Weave. To prove himself. But Nyra, the dragon fate chose for him, bears wings too broken to ever fly, a flaw that stains Aeden's reputation and makes him a target among students and masters alike.

As he battles distrust and isolation, Aeden uncovers darker secrets hidden within Aviara's hallowed halls, whispers of his parents' deaths and the cover-up that followed. And when two unknown riders arrive, wielding authority and power that even the Academy fears, surviving the deadly trials ahead becomes more than a matter of honor.

It becomes a fight for his life and for the truth.

In a world where flight means power, what chance does a grounded rider have against enemies who rule the skies?

"Perfect for fans of Eragon, Ascendant, and Of Blood and Fire, Wing Weaver delivers a fast-paced, dragon-rider academy fantasy where survival depends on more than just flight."

From the actor who played Gilmore Girls' beloved Luke Danes comes a love letter to American diner fare.

For Scott Patterson, diners have always felt like home. Long before he played Luke Danes--the gruff but soft-hearted owner of Stars Hollows' neighborhood diner on the cult-favorite television show Gilmore Girls--Scott grew up in Southern New Jersey, famously known as diner country, where no matter the time, day or night, a booth and a good meal were always waiting.

Now, in Dishes from the Diner, Scott brings those warm feelings and inviting flavors of the diner straight to your kitchen table. This cookbook features more than 90 hearty and heartwarming recipes that will leave you satisfied--and just like any good diner, the menu's good all day long.

Start your morning with a Special Omelet or grab a Blueberry Muffin if you're running late. You can never go wrong with classic soups, salads, and sandwiches like the Tuna Melt or a Cobb Salad, or hearty mains like Pot Roast and Lasagna. Of course, you'll find diner fare like A Nice Plate of Chicken Fingers, which you can enjoy with Chili Fries, Extra Cheese & Onions and an Emergency Black & White Shake. Finally, for a sweet treat, curl up with a slice of all-American Cherry Pie or Chocolate Donuts for your next Gilmore Girls rewatch--and no matter what time it is or how much you've already had, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your coffee.

With personal stories from both the set and his childhood, Scott brings equal parts nostalgia and comfort to Dishes from the Diner, affirming that diner food is delicious and can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.

John Wick meets Blade Runner in this fast-paced cyberpunk thriller by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Will of the Many and The Strength of the Few.

My job, when you think about it, isn't so different from a lot of people's.

The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the "killing people" part of it, I guess, but that's a them problem: it's been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever--limited resources be damned--there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent.

So, sure, I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try to crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it.

Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it.

Still. This next job...I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.

I'm sure it'll all go totally fine though.

What price would you pay for the perfect gift?

It's Christmas Eve and Stella Hansen is broke.

She is so broke, that despite working two jobs, she can't even afford a present for her husband on their first Christmas since tying the knot. But then a mysterious pawn shop owner offers Stella an intriguing trade.

Stella wants more than anything to buy her husband the Christmas gift of his dreams. But to get it for him, she might have to pay the ultimate price . . .

From beloved content creator Taryn Delanie Smith, comes a luminous and comforting vision of the afterlife--told through her beloved character, Denise, Heaven's sharp-witted and big-hearted receptionist.

For millions of followers, Denise has become a guide to the great beyond: welcoming new arrivals at Heaven's front desk, answering their most pressing questions, and offering reassurance with humor, grace, and a knowing wink. What is there to do in Heaven? Can our loved ones still sense us? What about our pets? Do we get to choose our eternal outfit? Denise has heard it all--and she's ready with answers that are as thoughtful as they are disarming.

In Welcome to the Afterlife, Smith expands the world that has captivated those who know her from social media, inviting readers on a richly imagined tour of the "Upstairs." From horseback riding and bingo nights to flying lessons and long-awaited reunions, Heaven is revealed as a place of joy, restoration, and deep connection. But Denise doesn't shy away from the harder questions: What happens to unfinished business? How are babies cared for? How do we forgive ourselves--and each other--once we've crossed over?

Along the way, we meet unforgettable souls, and with each encounter, Denise gently reminds us that love endures, and that those we've lost are never truly far away.

Behind the humor and sparkle lies Smith's own grounding in philosophy and religion, lending depth and nuance to Denise's voice. The result is a work that is at once playful and profound--a comforting meditation on grief, grace, and the invisible threads that bind us to one another.

Warm, funny, and unexpectedly wise, Welcome to the Afterlife offers solace to anyone who has loved and lost--and a hopeful reminder that what awaits us may be far less frightening, and far more beautiful, than we imagine.
