Love and Ruin
In 1937, courageous and independent Martha Gellhorn travels to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War, and finds herself drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in devastating conflict. She also finds herself unexpectedly - and uncontrollably - falling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man already on his way to being a legend. In the shadow of the impending Second World War, and set against the tumultuous backdrops of Madrid, Finland, China, and especially Cuba, where Martha and Hemingway made their home, their relationship and professional careers ignite. But when Hemingway publishes the biggest literary success of his career, they are no longer equals, and Martha must make a choice: surrender to the suffocating demands of a domestic lifestyle, or risk losing her husband by forging her way as her own woman and writer. It is a dilemma that will force her to break his heart, and her own. Based on a true story Martha Gellhorn was one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLLS was dedicated to Martha, and inspired by the time they were together in Spain. It was Hemingway's most successful book to date, it sold half a million copies within months, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and triumphantly reestablished his literary reputation
Ashes of Love and Ruin: Rise of the Spirit Wielder
In a world where magic is divided into four elements, Freya of Mycenae has spent her life hiding a dangerous truth: she can wield more than one. Such power is thought to belong only to myth – a relic of a forgotten age, believed to have vanished with the first and only Spirit Wielder. If revealed, it would draw the attention of those who would seek to control it… or reshape the world through it. When her control slips during training, Freya draws the attention of Prince Azrael of Kemet, her most formidable rival. Their clash awakens an ancient mate bond, binding their souls together by forces older than kingdoms, older than law. Neither wants the bond. Neither can break it. And both sense it is only the beginning of something far greater than either of them understands. Freya soon learns her secret was never meant to stay hidden. Chosen by the Mother of Creation, she is the next Spirit Wielder – a guardian destined to command all elements and serve as a living bridge between the mortal and divine realms. To awaken her full power, she must recover the lost Spirit Scrolls, sacred relics scattered across the kingdoms, each holding fragments of forgotten wisdom and spiritual initiation. Without them, the balance between worlds will unravel, and a sealed force beyond the veil will be unleashed. As Freya’s journey leads her through ancient temples, elemental trials, and whispered prophecies, she is forced to confront not only the magnitude of her power but also the emotions, fears, and ancestral grief bound within it. The bond with Azrael deepens as they face divine trials together, testing surrender, trust, and the thin line between destiny and choice. With celestial forces watching, kingdoms trembling, and her own heart caught between duty and desire, Freya must decide whether she will resist her calling or fully step into it. Because becoming the Spirit Wielder means more than mastering magic. It means awakening the soul.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful novel of the stormy marriage between Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn, a fiercely independent woman who became one of the greatest war correspondents of the twentieth century—from the author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark “Romance, infidelity, war—Paula McLain’s powerhouse novel has it all.”—Glamour NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • New York Public Library • Bloomberg • Real Simple In 1937, twenty-eight-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict. It’s her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. There she also finds herself unexpectedly—and unwillingly—falling in love with Ernest Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend. On the eve of World War II, and set against the turbulent backdrops of Madrid and Cuba, Martha and Ernest’s relationship and careers ignite. But when Ernest publishes the biggest literary success of his career, For Whom the Bell Tolls, they are no longer equals, and Martha must forge a path as her own woman and writer. Heralded by Ann Patchett as “the new star of historical fiction,” Paula McLain brings Gellhorn’s story richly to life and captures her as a heroine for the ages: a woman who will risk absolutely everything to find her own voice.
