A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow Pdf

USA Today bestselling author Alix E. Harrow's A Spindle Splintered brings her patented charm to a new version of a classic story. Featuring Arthur Rackham's original illustrations for The Sleeping Beauty, fractured and reimagined. “A vivid, subversive and feminist reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, where implacable destiny is no match for courage, sisterhood, stubbornness and a good working knowledge of fairy tales.” —Katherine Arden It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. Not much is known about her illness, just that no-one has lived past twenty-one. Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.

Shadow Mark by Nancey Cummings Pdf

A king without an heir must be in want of a queen. Baris has sacrificed his health to bring peace to the kingdom. He has always put the needs of the crown above his own, even entering into a loveless marriage for a political alliance. He bore it all with stoic dignity. Now the queen is dead and he must select a new queen. Someone who brings wealth or influence. Someone with the approval of the council. So why can’t he stop thinking of the human doctor with the fine eyes? He rescued her when a portal dumped her on a wild moon and he may have made some unflattering remarks about her person. He needs to correct this mistake. He offers her a position at the palace as a medic, fully intending to win her affections. The council won’t approve. Lenore barely tolerates him but his heart is most ardent and will not be denied. First impressions matter. And King Baris? The worst. He’s beautiful and powerful, sure, and he also has an enormous… ego. Lenore overhears what he really thinks of her-- not flattering, by the way-- and isn’t going to stick around to be insulted. So why then does she accept his job offer? Must be the alien gravity playing tricks on her. You don’t get a second chance at a first impression. Shadow Mark is a slow burn alien romance with a king, a stubborn doctor, and Happily Ever After. No cheating. It is the sequel to Splintered Shadow but can be read alone. So now you have to ask yourself, why not read both?

The Season of the Plough by Luke R. J. Maynard Pdf

The Prophecy was wrong. There is no Chosen One. Coming of age under the weight of an epic destiny wasn't easy. All Aewyn ever wanted for herself was a home and a family. But to the farmers of Widowvale, she was always destined for greatness. As a fae-blooded foundling of mysterious birth, her story was the stuff of fairy-tales. And the villagers, all refugees from a looming civil war, were in desperate need of something to believe in. But prophecies can be misread, and the men who call themselves wise are often mistaken. When a primordial darkness stirs in the deep wood, and Aewyn's dubious old mentor is sentenced to hang for treason, the supposed Chosen One must live or die by a choice of her own: Will she forsake her home and her new family for the dubious destiny she's been promised—or sacrifice it all for one chance to save them? Discover a captivating new world of adventure with rich worldbuilding and a diverse ensemble cast. Read it today!

Splinter of the Tree by Roxanne E. Barnes Pdf

What began as a memoir of a friend's journey through a thirty-month battle with brain cancer became the blueprint of the author's personal transformation.As the author wrote in the book's prologue, "How do I capture the reality of (my friend's) impending death yet celebrate the life that bloomed in the quickly changing terrain of her terminal illness? I value the splinter wedged in my heart that compelled me to go places I would not willingly choose. It is part of the artistic beauty residing in each of us, and sometimes this art emerges through intense pressure and heat, not unlike what wood undergoes in the hands of a master carver."

Leaving Yuba City by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Pdf

Like Divakaruni's much-loved and bestselling short story collection Arranged Marriage, this collection of poetry deals with India and the Indian experience in America, from the adventures of going to a convent school in India run by Irish nuns (Growing up in Darjeeling) to the history of the earliest Indian immigrants in the U.S. (Yuba City Poems). Groups of interlinked poems divided into six sections are peopled by many of the same characters and explore varying themes. Here, Divakaruni is particularly interested in how different art forms can influence and inspire each other. One section, entitled Indian Miniatures, is based on and named after a series of paintings by Francesco Clemente. Another, called Moving Pictures, is based on Indian films, including Mira Nair's "Salaam Bombay" and Satyajit Ray's "Ghare Baire." Photographs by Raghubir Singh inspired the section entitled Rajasthani. The trials and tribulations of growing up and immigration are also considered here and, as with all of Divakaruni's writing, these poems deal with the experience of women and their struggle to find identities for themselves. This collection is touched with the same magic and universal appeal that excited readers of Arranged Marriage. In Leaving Yuba City, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni proves once again her remarkable literary talents.

The Splinter in the Sky by Kemi Ashing-Giwa Pdf

A diverse, exciting debut space opera about a young tea expert who is taken as a political prisoner and recruited to spy on government officials—a role that may empower her to win back her nation’s independence—perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin and Nnedi Okorafor. The dust may have just settled in the failed war of conquest between the Holy Vaalbaran Empire and the Ominirish Republic, but the last Emperor’s surrender means little to a lowly scribe like Enitan. All she wants is to quit her day job and expand her fledgling tea business. But when her lover is assassinated and her sibling is abducted by Imperial soldiers, Enitan abandons her idyllic plans and weaves her tea tray up through the heart of the Vaalbaran capital. There, she will learn just how far she is willing to go to exact vengeance, free her sibling, and perhaps even secure her homeland’s freedom.
