But when already-out Maeve meets Salix, a violin-busking “friend of Dorothy,” and their mutual attraction grows, she begins to find unexpected happiness in Vancouver. In Vancouver, Maeve feels she has plenty to be anxious about: from her pregnant stepmother’s home-birth plan to the possibility her father might start drinking and using again. When her mom decides to spend six months in Haiti, Maeve is forced to move to live with her father and his family in Vancouver, disrupting her otherwise relatively stable life. With her severe anxiety and panic disorder, she is constantly working to balance her spiraling, catastrophizing thoughts-without the help of any medication. Most people worry, but Maeve has always done so to the extreme. A white teen with severe anxiety struggles to manage her mental health and finds joy in a budding relationship with a new girlfriend.

They encompass the Arbora – creatures whose dragony-forms are flightless, and the winged Aeriat who can shape-shift into flying winged forms. Just like bees, most of their numbers are born sterile: neither male nor female warriors can have children. The Raksura, are a hive-like society ruled by queens. This is the first volume in a series of books about "dragony-humany shapeshifters in a sprawling, massive, complex world of magic and creatures and cultural politics, complete with extra Feelings."- as Martha Wells herself describes. The perfect recipe for a fabulous read that will literally knock your socks off! Frame it all into an original amazing culture with a light and easy writing style and a fast paced story add a little feeling and emotion to make the reader smile and laugh at times and there you go!!

Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to collect, gather," with derivatives meaning "to speak" on the notion of "to gather words, to pick out words." Her husband raises a great army against them and determines to win, whatever the cost. The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon - her hopes of averting the curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. 'A brilliant read' Women & Home | 'A spirited retelling' Times | ' Beautiful and absorbing' Fabulous | 'A vivid reimagining of Greek mythology' Harper's Bazaar | 'Jennifer Saint has done an incredible job' Red 'Jennifer Saint has breathed new life into this myth and put her own stamp on it' REAL READER REVIEW 'I was glued to it from beginning to end and could not wait to recommend to my friends afterwards.' REAL READER REVIEW 'The story and its characters swept me up and engulfed me, I could not put this one down' REAL READER REVIEW **The spellbinding new retelling of the Trojan War drawn from the perspective of the fearless women at the heart of it all.** An exciting, lyrical new retelling of the trojan war stories from Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ELEKTRA (UK, Sunday Times, May 2022) and ARIADNE (UK, Sunday Times, April 2021). He’s a great storyteller, whether speculating about the origins of the legend, explaining the history of the tower (and ghostly sightings), what it’s like to live there with his family, or best of all, the fascinating ravens themselves. Skaife is only the sixth ravenmaster to hold the position since caring for the ravens was officially designated as a responsibility of the Yeoman Quartermaster in the mid-twentieth century. In The Ravenmaster: My Life with Ravens at the Tower of London, Christopher Skaife shares his first hand experience taking care of the ravens at the historic site. For hundreds of years, the Tower grounds have also been home to the ravens, cared for by Britain’s familiar ceremonial guardians, the Yeoman Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, and Members of the Sovereign’s Body Guard of the Yeoman Guard Extraordinary – aka the Beefeaters. Over the centuries the Tower has served as fortress, royal palace, prison, arsenal, Royal Mint and Royal Armory. Nearly three million tourists visit the Tower of London in England every year. If the ravens ever leave, the tower will crumble into dust and great harm will befall the kingdom. |
