America as we know it has completely transformed. The US is ruled by a ruthless dictatorship. A genetic experiment gone wrong has made 90 percent of the newborn population male, making women a treasure that is fought over. In order to obtain that treasure and get married, a dangerous series of mind games and combat tests known as the Tournament must be won first. Allazar, a quiet twenty-year-old man living in the ruins of what used to be New York City, finds himself doing what he promised he would never do: fall in love. Upon meeting the angelic seventeen-year-old Ceirra, he finds himself instantly smitten with her, as she is with him. Allazar knows that no matter what, he must win a Tournament to marry her. Theres just one problem: as an omega (the lowest and discriminated social class in America), it is illegal for him to compete. And to make matters worse, Ceirra is in actuality the kings daughter. Allazar knows the consequences of illegally joining a Tournament just as he knows that most of the competitors that dont come out with a bride dont come out at all. In this romantic dystopian thriller, Allazar must fight not only to survive in a game that is already against him but for the rights of all those who were wronged by a corrupted, greedy, and bloodthirsty government.

An in-depth study of how the famed Bloomsbury Group expressed their liberal philosophies and collective identity in visual form "[Fascinating and wide-ranging. . . . Will be enjoyed by both Bloomsbury aficionados and newcomers alike."--Lucinda Willan, V&A Magazine The Bloomsbury Group was a loose collective of forward-thinking writers, artists, and intellectuals in London, with Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, and E. M. Forster among its esteemed members. The group's works and radical beliefs, spanning literature, economics, politics, and non-normative relationships, changed the course of 20th-century culture and society. Although its members resisted definition, their art and dress imparted a coherent, distinctive group identity. Drawing on unpublished photographs and extensive new research, The Bloomsbury Look is the first in-depth analysis of how the Bloomsbury Group generated and broadcast its self-fashioned aesthetic. One chapter is dedicated to photography, which was essential to the group's visual narrative--from casual snapshots, to amateur studio portraits, to family albums. Others examine the Omega Workshops as a design center, and the evidence for its dress collections, spreading the Bloomsbury aesthetic to the general public. Finally, the book considers the group's extensive participation in 20th-century modernism as artists, models, curators, critics, and collectors.
