Heléne Holmström

We are thrilled to announce that Heléne Holmström is back with a new novel in a brand new series set in the world of luxury retail in The Department Store Saga.

When the Light Fades follows Vera Hartman as she returns to Stockholm to save her family’s iconic department store – only to clash with Elias Johansson, the CEO of a rival chain. As tensions rise, so do unexpected feelings in this compelling enemies-to-lovers story.

AFTER SEVERAL STORMY years in London, Vera Hartman returns to Stockholm with one goal: to prove that she belongs in the family business, the renowned Hartman department store. But she barely has time to step inside the doors before she learns that the store is on the brink of ruin, and her grandmother has already begun negotiations with Elias Johansson, the successful CEO of the low-price retailer Svanåkers.

ELIAS ALSO HAS his own agenda. He has sworn to destroy the Hartman family. But he hadn’t anticipated meeting Vera. Confident, sharp and impossible to ignore. When they’re forced to work together, the stakes are raised – and the risks have never been higher…

Steve Sem-Sandberg’s City of Saints is now out in Sweden

Steve Sem-Sandberg

Steve Sem-Sandberg’s highly anticipated new novel City of Saints is out today in Sweden, published by Albert Bonniers.

“Münster was said to be the New Jerusalem over which the final battle for God’s world domination would soon be fought. Then the earth would open beneath everyone’s feet and the universe would be consumed by the flames of destruction. Only those who sought refuge within the city walls would find that God held his hand of protection over them.”

IN 1534, MÜNSTER becomes the scene of one of the bloodiest and most protracted conflicts of the Reformation. Radical Anabaptists seize power and proclaim a new era and a new world order. Persecution and death await the doubters, and soon the city is surrounded by forces to stop the spread of revolutionary doctrine.

IN THE MASTERFUL City of Saints, as in the broadly conceived novels Emperor of Lies and W., a kind of primal scene is drawn for the European madness that seems doomed to be repeated over the centuries. With epic clarity and historical depth of vision, Steve Sem-Sandberg takes the reader into the heart of this besieged city, which will so brutally experience the lure and ruthlessness of faith.
