In 1996, in the middle of watching an ill-tempered football match  between England and Germany, Philip Oltermann's parents tell him that  they are going to leave their home city Hamburg behind and move to  London.

A number of worrying questions arise. How would English  schoolboys take to a lanky 16-year-old German? How did they think and do  things differently? What was the secret of the famed British humour?  And were there values that English and German people shared?

In  search of answers, Oltermann interweaves memoir and history, taking ten key Anglo-German encounters from the last 200 years as his starting point. These include: an encounter between Joe Strummer and the Baader Meinhof gang, Helmut Kohl trying to explain the virtues of German cuisine to a sceptical Margaret Thatcher and philosophers Theodor Adorno and A. J. Ayer clashing over jazz.

What emerges is  nothing less than an alternative national story for the two countries:  not one marked by military conflict and diplomatic hostility, but one shaped by dialogue, interaction and genuine fondness.

Without love, destiny is naught but an empty promise.

His destiny promises struggle. As the 13th century comes to a close, Scotland enjoys a tentative, fragile peace. Garric MacLachlan, a taciturn Highland warrior, fosters his reputation as an unfeeling brute to ward off those who would threaten his kin. Garric believes his sword will determine his future until a single act of mercy by an English servant challenges every lesson he's ever learned and wrestles all control from his hands.

Her destiny promises pain. Abandoned on the day of her birth, Linette has been reared to serve her English master. She harbors a secret dream of a safe home but knows it is her fate to die at the hand of a stranger. Determined to meet her destiny with courage, she welcomes the Scottish chieftain into the small hovel she shares with her foster mother. Garric's vow to protect her weaves their futures together so tightly she must fight to keep him safe from sharing her dark fate.

Their shared destiny promises passion.
