Diadem by Kate Kelley Pdf
A dark, unrelenting force...a magical world unlocked...a forbidden love...and a secret yearning for power. The dark forces that followed Lyra and Terrin on their journey haven't disappeared. In fact, they've made it very clear that won’t be stopping until they get what they want--Lyra. Not one to give up easily, Lyra has teamed up with a strong, testy Fae woman named Freydis. Together, along with Terrin, they must return to Eclipsa to recruit the Fae and other magical folk for help if they want any chance of defeating the Dark Master and his army. There, Lyra will be awakened to a wild part of her identity that lay dormant for years. The deeper she goes in her journey, she feels herself changing, strengthening, something dark and volatile unfurling within her. Perhaps her new power is the secret to defeating the Dark Master; perhaps it’s the yearning to join him.

Ten years. That’s how long King Terrin has been looking for his sister, rightful heir to the throne. He wears the hated crown in her stead as he searches for the place his sister was exiled to--an unearthly realm as elusive as his freedom. At every turn, his mages have come up short, exhausted, their magic weakening. Ten years, and nothing to show for it but the realization that magic everywhere is dying, along with the earth, and they are running out of time. That is, until he receives a prophecy about a key to locate the realm...a key in the form of a peasant woman from an unnamed village. At the end of his rope, King Terrin calls for her, riling up complications he never thought he would face, such as having to summon the patience to train and work with the common woman, a fledgling mage with considerable power but little control--over her magic, her temper, or her rosy, lush mouth. Lyra is a village schoolmistress, friendless, and on the verge of becoming a spinster. When she is summoned to the sequestered, royal Island of Gem, her fragile, narrow view of the world ripped asunder. There, in the formidable King’s court, she will uncover the truth about herself and the world the dark, brooding King has tried so hard to bury—that a well of dormant magic lives within her, the world is not at all what it seems...and that she might have the chance to save it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This tale contains scenes of intimacy intended for mature readers.

Not only a resource for learning about rare and beautiful gems, the book also presents the stories of the people who once owned or were associated with these jewels—from ordinary people to kings, emperors, maharajas, celebrities, and captains of industry.

Gem & Dixie by Sara Zarr Pdf
“A story that broke my heart and put it back together again. You won’t want to let Gem and Dixie go.” —Sarah Dessen, New York Times bestselling author of Saint Anything From renowned author and National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr comes a deep, nuanced, and gorgeously written story about the complex relationship between two sisters from a broken home. Gem has never known what it is to have security. She’s never known an adult she can truly rely on. But the one constant in her life has been Dixie. Gem grew up taking care of her sister when no one else could: not their mother, whose issues make it hard for her to keep food on the table, and definitely not their father, whose intermittent presence is the only thing worse than his frequent absence. Even as Gem and Dixie have grown apart, they’ve always had each other. When their dad returns home for the first time in years and tries to insert himself back into their lives, Gem finds herself with an unexpected opportunity: three days with Dixie—on their own in Seattle and beyond. But this short trip soon becomes something more, as Gem discovers that that to save herself, she may have to sever the one bond she’s tried so hard to keep. "A complex and gripping story centered around the relationship of two sisters from a broken home. This book was so meaningful and realistic" (from the Brightly.com review, which named Gem and Dixie one of the best books of 2017).
