The broadcaster and journalist Gavin Esler sets out how the most momentous change in Britain for decades will change everyday life. In 7 succinct chapters, he reveals the profound impact of leaving the European Union on: Food and diet, Health and the NHS, Jobs and industry, Education, Travel to Europe. From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit throws up many surprises.

How Britain Ends is a book about history, but also about the strange, complicated identity of Britishness. In the past, it was possible to live with delightful confusion: one could be English, or British, Scottish or Irish and a citizen/subject of the United Kingdom (or Great Britain). For years that state has been what Gavin Esler calls a 'secret federation', but without the explicit federal arrangements that allow Germany or the USA to survive. Now the archaic state, which doesn't have a written constitution, is coming under terrible strain.

The first time Seraphina killed Prince Valtheris, she felt nothing but satisfaction. The second time, terror. The Sisterhood of Mercy sends Seraphina to Nocthys to kill the cursed prince and end the kingdom’s eternal night. But Valtheris rises, shadows knitting his wounds like living thread. He does not strike. He smiles. “Run.” When she refuses, he binds her to him. In a haunted palace, the hunt turns to heat and hunger. His shadows learn her skin. Her body learns his darkness. Each step reveals a different truth. His torment is not an accident. Neither is hers.

Survival is what I know. Before my mama left, she made it clear—you want something in life, a man can usually be used long enough to get it. Ten years ago, I let that concept slip through my fingers. Meeting Carver Roland changed my thinking. Until the night I left. Now that I’m back, he’s turned into nothing short of a monster. A beautiful devil disguised in tattoos and cowboy boots. He promises to make me wish I’d never come back to Alliston Springs. I didn’t want his attention all those years ago, but it seems like he’s been plotting for my return. And I’m falling into his trap once again.
