A TIME 100 Must-Read Book of 2021 A New York Times Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Book of 2021 The Stonewall Book Award winner of 2022 Named a Best Book of 2021 by NPR, The New York Public Library, Publishers Weekly and more! A triumphant, genre-bending breakout novel from one of the boldest new voices in contemporary fiction. Vern—seven months pregnant and desperate to escape the strict religious compound where she was raised—flees for the shelter of the woods. There, she gives birth to twins, and plans to raise them far from the influence of the outside world. But even in the forest, Vern is a hunted woman. Forced to fight back against the community that refuses to let her go, she unleashes incredible brutality far beyond what a person should be capable of, her body wracked by inexplicable and uncanny changes. To understand her metamorphosis and to protect her small family, Vern has to face the past, and more troublingly, the future—outside the woods. Finding the truth will mean uncovering the secrets of the compound she fled but also the violent history in America that produced it. Rivers Solomon’s Sorrowland is a genre-bending work of Gothic fiction. Here, monsters aren’t just individuals, but entire nations. It is a searing, seminal book that marks the arrival of a bold, unignorable voice in American fiction.

One day, when King Solomon was resting in his garden, a small bee accidentally stung the great king on his nose. Furious, the king summoned all possible offenders and demanded to know who had dared to sting him. A small bee came forward and, as it pleaded for the king’s forgiveness, offered to repay him. King Solomon was amused by the bee’s earnest proposal, for how could such a little bee repay such a powerful king? Dalia Hardof Renberg’s simple adaptation of this traditional story, pared with Ruth Heller’s glorious illustrations, is a surprising and charming tale of how one small bee keeps its mighty promise.

A user's guide to working with the 44 magical pentacles, or magical symbols, found in "The Key of Solomon," the renowned occult grimoire ("spellbook"). The fifteenth century occult text Clavicula Salomonis ("Key of Solomon") is a classic grimoire most notably as translated by S. L. Mathers in 1889. The Clavicula Salomonis presents Solomon's famed 44 planetary pentacles but offers very little guidance for how to work with these spells. Sara Mastros, a leading teacher and practitioner of magic, translates and interprets each of the 44 pentacles, or seals, and presents a practical method for working with their magical powers. In The Sorcery of Solomon author Sara Mastros: places the Key of Solomon in a historical and folkloric context presents a complete, fresh translation of all 44 pentacles guides the reader through the process of working with Solomon pentacles Primarily intended for intermediate level magicians who already have basic knowledge of spellcraft but is also appropriate for relative beginners who are willing to do a bit of extra "homework."
