Book Description

Mildred doesn't like black magic. But her mother was once valedictorian of Black Magic Academy, so her aunts insist she needs to follow in her footsteps and become one too. Mildred doesn't want to be part of the popular crowd. Nor does she care about her "death-enemy." And she certainly has no interest in murderous spells. But if the teachers catch on that she's actually a good witch . . . well, they don't react well to that kind of ignominy. What's the only good witch in a school of wicked witches to do?

Book Description

She wanted to save lives. The killer wanted to end hers. The first warning was triggered hundreds of miles away. The second warning exploded only yards from where she and her son stood. Now Kate Denby realizes the frightening truth: She is somebody's target. Danger has arrived in Kate's backyard with a vengeance. And the gifted scientist is awakening to a nightmare world where a ruthless killer is stalking her...where her innocent son is considered expendable...and where the medical research to which she has devoted her life is the same research that could get her killed. Her only hope of protecting her family and making that medical breakthrough is to elude her enemy until she can face him on her own ground, on her own terms—and destroy him.

Book Description

Although the Russian novelist and playwright Leonid Leonov had published extensively before 1917 he considered that his literary career began only in 1922 with the short story Buryga. His talent developed rapidly in the comparatively free cultural climate of the first decade of the Revolution and by 1927 his characteristic style and themes were already formed. It was in this year, however, that the Communist Party began to impose its demands on the artists and intellectuals. Leonov's beliefs and values were incompatible with the Soviet version of Marxism but he tried to affirm them indirectly in his work through structure, imagery and allusion, while outwardly conforming to official demands. This manoeuvring inevitably led him into some questionable compromises which in turn damaged his reputation, both at home and abroad. Leonov himself was painfully conscious of the moral dilemmas involved and his later works return again and again to the question: is it possible to compromise without being compromised? There are fourteen chapters in the volume, each devoted to one or more of Leonov's works, setting the successive stages of his evolution against a background of changing cultural and political policies.

Book Description

The Avian Empire is locked in an endless war that has claimed the lives of countless Fledge men and women. Their mindless enemy is inexhaustible. There is no option for peace, the monsters can’t be reasoned with and they will never stop. Most in Avian society never get a chance to mature and grow their white feathered wings and take to the skies. Most never get to master communication with their Scala, the semi sentient scales that cover their body. Fledges are raised to serve a purpose of preservation or die in the depths. Ellie, a young Avian Fledge living on the Plymouth Plateau, startles awake from a reoccurring dream—one where she suddenly grows wings and takes to the skies. As an Avian Fledge, Ellie struggles to thrive in her harsh society—one where women are treated like cattle and where the Fledges constantly fear their mysterious rulers, the Mature Avians. Destined to repeat the life of her Mother and countless other fledge women. Ellie will embark on a journey in which she will gain tremendous power and suffer incredible loss. She will battle the balance of what it means to be a monster or a savior. With this unexpected power, she will soar to new heights and change the world. Whether that change is for good or evil, will depend on her belief that the world she has known is worth saving or should be changed forever.
