Book Description

In the quiet shadows of an orphanage doorstep, destiny unfolded for Elara. Abandoned as a babe, she grew under the watchful eyes of nuns who sensed the extraordinary within her. Objects danced with her moods, and flowers bloomed brighter in her presence. Whispers in the village spoke of magic coursing through her veins, a child born of both the mundane and mystical worlds. Yet, Elara herself remained unaware of the extent of her enchanting abilities. One dawn, as sunlight filtered through the trees, Elara awoke to an electrifying sensation. The air itself pulsed with otherworldly energy, unveiling a spectacle beyond imagination. The emerald forest transformed into a kaleidoscope of shimmering colours, revealing a hidden tapestry of magic. Amidst the ethereal display, a figure materialized – a guardian of the ether. "Elara," he whispered, revealing her destiny. A choice lay before her – to embrace the magic within or to turn away. With a gentle touch against a shimmering barrier, Elara's world expanded. Visions of starlight dragons and whispering trees flooded her senses, unlocking the mysteries of the ether. The guardian faded, leaving Elara with a newfound purpose. Determined, she chose to embrace her connection to the ethereal, setting forth on a journey to uncover the secrets of her origins and bridge the gap between worlds. Fast forward to the realm of Etherea, where magic flowed like a symphony. "Chronicles of the Ethereal Nebulae Empress" unveils a tale of grandeur and mystique. Etherea, a world teeming with wonder, is a breathtaking tapestry of diverse landscapes and creatures, woven together by the essence of ether. Empress Elara, a sorceress of unparalleled prowess, rules over Etherea. Her connection to the ether grants her immense power, but ruling is no simple feat. Navigating political alliances, ancient rivalries, and the looming Shadowstorm, Elara must be more than just a ruler – she is a diplomat, strategist, and visionary. As the Shadowstorm threatens Etherea, Elara faces challenges that test her abilities. Ancient prophecies point to a chosen one, but the path is shrouded in uncertainty. Elara's journey unfolds, a tale of external threats, internal struggles, and the unyielding determination of a woman destined to shape the fate of her world.

Book Description

Tom's mundane existence underwent a profound transformation when he discovered the extraordinary potential of his newfound ability. Dreams became the vivid canvas for his imagination, offering a realm where he could soar through the skies, converse with talking animals, and embark on incredible adventures. Unbeknownst to him, this revelation marked only the inception of a journey that would blur the lines between the waking world and the enchanting domain of dreams. As Tom delved deeper into the fantastical dreamscape, he encountered beings that defied the laws of nature. Majestic, winged lions left trails of sparkling stardust in their wake, while friendly sprites flitted between the branches of luminescent trees, their laughter echoing like wind chimes. In the Dreamer's Chamber, where dreams intertwined in a delicate dance, Tom sensed a disturbance. The ethereal Dream Keepers reflected concern, revealing a looming threat—The Dream Thief, a dark echo born from forgotten nightmares, harboured malevolent intentions to exploit children's dreams. On a crisp afternoon, bathed in golden sunlight streaming through the library's windows, Tom was drawn to an unexplored section. In a forgotten corner where time seemed to slow, he discovered a peculiar book—a tome unlike any other. Nestled between weathered spines and forgotten tales, the enigmatic Dreamer's Code awaited. The library, once a familiar haven, transformed into a portal to the unknown as Tom deciphered ancient symbols, embarking on a magical adventure where the ordinary converged with the extraordinary. Each page of the cryptic tome revealed not just symbols, but a narrative woven into the fabric of dreams—the forgotten prophecy. In the glow of a single candle, Tom read about a time when dreams held the power to shape reality. The prophecy spoke of a chosen Dreamer destined to traverse the Dream Realm and restore balance disrupted by encroaching darkness. As night fell, Tom found himself drawn back into the mystical embrace of "The Boy Called Dreamer." The prophecy's words resonated with the symbols he had deciphered, realizing that he was the chosen Dreamer fated to embark on a quest beyond the waking world. The weight of destiny settled on Tom's young shoulders, eliciting a mix of excitement and trepidation. The Dream Realm unfolded before Tom like a canvas painted with the hues of imagination—enchanted landscapes adorned with floating islands of cotton candy clouds and rivers sparkling with starlight wishes. Amidst this dreamscape, three radiant figures emerged—Lumara, Zephyr, and Whisper, the Dream Keepers. Lumara embodied the hopes within every dream, Zephyr symbolized the freedom of flight, and Whisper held the secrets lurking in dream shadows. Now, the once-enchanted Dream Realm faced imminent peril, and Tom, as the chosen Dreamer, bore the weight of preserving its existence amidst encroaching shadows.

Book Description

The thrilling sequel to S.J. Kincaid’s New York Times bestselling novel, The Diabolic, which TeenVogue.com called “the perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.” It’s a new day in the Empire. Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward—one where they don’t have to hide or scheme or kill. One where creatures like Nemesis will be given worth and recognition, where science and information can be shared with everyone and not just the elite. But having power isn’t the same thing as keeping it, and change isn’t always welcome. The ruling class, the Grandiloquy, has held control over planets and systems for centuries—and they are plotting to stop this teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who is considered nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress. Nemesis will protect Tyrus at any cost. He is the love of her life, and they are partners in this new beginning. But she cannot protect him by being the killing machine she once was. She will have to prove the humanity that she’s found inside herself to the whole Empire—or she and Tyrus may lose more than just the throne. But if proving her humanity means that she and Tyrus must do inhuman things, is the fight worth the cost of winning it?

Book Description

“An Earth-man’s journey to the planet Mars, where he is treated to a wondrous vision of a communist future, complete with flying cars and 3D color movies.” —Wonders & Marvels A communist society on Mars, the Russian revolution, and class struggle on two planets is the subject of this arresting science fiction novel by Alexander Bogdanov (1873–1928), one of the early organizers and prophets of the Russian Bolshevik party. The red star is Mars, but it is also the dream set to paper of the society that could emerge on earth after the dual victory of the socialist and scientific-technical revolutions. While portraying a harmonious and rational socialist society, Bogdanov sketches out the problems that will face industrialized nations, whether socialist or capitalist. “[A] surprisingly moving story.” —The New Yorker “The contemporary reader will marvel at [Bogdanov’s] foresight: nuclear fusion and propulsion, atomic weaponry and fallout, computers, blood transfusions, and (almost) unisexuality.” —Choice “Bogdanov’s novels reveal a great deal about their fascinating author, about his time and, ironically, ours, and about the genre of utopia as well as his contribution to it.” —Slavic Review
