Love at first sight is for other girls. Fairy tales. Dreams. At least, I thought so, until I met Florian.But falling in love with the fairy prince is only one problem. Selina wants my heart. In refusing to give it to her, she banishes me to the Poison Apple Mine to slave away until she can get to Mathias.Everything changes when Selina's raven pleads for help, and Florian's twin, Ferdinand, convinces me to revolt against the foreman, escape the mines, and help get him back to the throne.There's only one problem: I placed my love with the wrong twin. I just don't know which one.If I don't get the right prince on the throne and save Mathias, Selina will add the heart of a phoenix to her collection, and if she does that, it won't only be the mirror realm at stake.

In 1982, a sensational murder trial in Phoenix, Arizona, reverberated throughout the legal community. Restaurateur Steven Steinberg, who killed his wife by stabbing her 26 times, was acquitted; his legal defense portrayed the victim as an overpowering "Jewish American Princess" whose excesses may have provoked her violent end. Examining the structure of the defense's case, Frondorf, an attorney who was previously a psychiatric social worker, follows the theme that made Elana Steinberg the villain, instead of the victim, of the piece. The defense's forensic presentation, bolstered by testimony from psychiatrists, maintained that Steinberg committed the crime while sleepwalking, an abnormality allegedly brought on by the intemperate spending of his wife. Frondorf recreates the trial whose outcome scarred the tightly knit Jewish community of Phoenix.

A curse upon her head I place, that all will see her truest face. The rage of a dragon shall grow inside until, the truth, she can no longer hide.As crown princess of Griswil, I should have celebrated my seventeenth birthday.

Dune meets The Poppy War in Aparna Verma's The Boy with Fire, a glorious yet brutal tour-de-force debut that grapples with the power and manipulation of myth in an Indian-inspired epic fantasy. Yassen Knight was the Arohassin's most notorious assassin until a horrible accident. Now, he's on the run from the authorities and his former employer. But when Yassen seeks refuge with an old friend, he's offered an irresistible deal: defend the heir of Ravence from the Arohassin, and earn his freedom. Elena Ravence prepares to ascend the throne. Trained since birth in statecraft, warfare, and the desert ways, Elena knows she is ready. She only lacks one thing: the ability to hold Fire. With the coronation only weeks away, she must learn quickly or lose her kingdom. Leo Ravence is not ready to give up the crown. There's still too much work to be done, too many battles to be won. But when an ancient prophecy threatens to undo his lifetime of work, Leo wages war on the heavens themselves to protect his legacy. The first of The Ravence Trilogy, The Boy with Fire is the tale of a world teetering on the edge of war and prophecy, of fate and betrayal, of man's irrevocable greed for power - and the sacrifices that must come with it.
