Louise O’Neills prisvindende bestsellerroman 'Skabt for dig' er en dystopisk-feministisk fortælling om en verden, hvor kvinder betragtes som genstande, der oplæres, eller snarere opdrættes, med det ene formål at kunne tjene og tilfredsstille mænd bedst muligt. "Evaer er designet, ikke født. Skolen oplærer dem til at være perfekte: smukke, gode og Altid Villige. Og til ikke at tænke for meget. Det bryder ingen mænd sig om."

In the not-so-distant future, the forecasted 'death of print' has become a reality. Bookstores, libraries, newspapers, and magazines are a thing of the past, as we spend our time glued to handheld devices called Memes that not only keep us in constant communication but have become so intuitive as to hail us taxis before we leave our offices, order takeout at the first growl of a hungry stomach, and even create and sell language itself in a marketplace called the Word Exchange.

It’s 1985 in The Territory and it always will be. It’s so cold you can’t feel your feet and from here the outside world is just a dream, but two humans and one animal will show us the way. They’re each searching for someone, a woman who washed up on the shores of this far-flung town and then disappeared. To find her they will have to look deep into the darkness that lies at the edge of love. Heartbreaker is an astounding feat of imagination with its own riotous rhythm and the resounding message that humanity can be found in the wildest of places.

The Companions of Hira have used their cunning and their magic in the battle against the patriarchal Talisman, an organisation whose virulently conservative agenda restricts free thought. One of the most accomplished Companions, Arian, continues to lead a disparate group in pursuit of the one artifact that could end the Talismans' authoritarian rule: The Bloodprint.

To battle the cruel and controlling patriarchal force named the Talisman, members of a resistance group, the Companions of Hira, risked their lives to procure the Bloodprint....

A chilling, compulsive debut about group mentality, superstition and betrayal - and a utopian commune gone badly wrong. We were the Family, and Foxlowe was our home. There was me - my name is Green - and my little sister, Blue. There was October, who we called Toby, and Ellensia, Dylan, Liberty, Pet and Egg. There was Richard, of course, who was one of the Founders. And there was Freya. We were the Family, but we weren't just an ordinary family. We were a new, better kind of family.
