Sixteen-year-old Lotte Maddox has grown up alongside her cousin, the young Prince Ives Llywellyn of Rhydderch, and his best friend, Sir Alastair Wellington, who is a commoner turned knight and protective detail for the young Prince. Lotte has always wanted to become a knight as well, helping her parents’ charity of relocating dragons instead of slaying them. Though the odds would seem to be in her favor regarding her renowned family, she’s still just a girl. On her journey of proving herself, she also faces heartbreak and injury. Lotte learns that even if your dream is short lived, you can turn it into something even better and make a difference for others. About the Author Madden Boddy lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where they grew up their whole life and finished their first novel.

Book Synopsis The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild by : Mathias Énard
Download or read book The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers' Guild written by Mathias Énard and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the winner of the Prix Goncourt, an exciting comic masterwork rooted in the French countryside. To research his thesis on contemporary agrarian life, anthropology student David Mazon moves from Paris to La Pierre-Saint-Christophe, a village in the marshlands of western France. Determined to understand the essence of the local culture, the intrepid young scholar scurries around restlessly on his moped to interview residents. But what David doesn’t yet know is that here, in this seemingly ordinary place, once the stage for wars and revolutions, Death leads a dance: when one thing perishes, the Wheel of Life recycles its soul and hurls it back into the world as microbe, human, or wild animal, sometimes in the past, sometimes in the future. And once a year, Death and the living observe a temporary truce during a gargantuan three-day feast where gravediggers gorge themselves on food, drink, and language. Brimming with Mathias Énard’s characteristic wit and encyclopedic brilliance, The Annual Banquet of the Gravediggers’ Guild is a riotous novel where the edges between past and present are constantly dissolving against a Rabelaisian backdrop of excess.

Patricia Shaw's Storm Bay is a gripping saga of shocking revelations and conspiracy behind the transportation of British convicts to Tasmania.

She is now a transport ship, her cargo prisoners of the Crown, her destination the penal settlement of Van Diemen's Land, now known as Tasmania, the southernmost State of Australia.

Book Synopsis Daughter of the House by : Rosie Thomas
Download or read book Daughter of the House written by Rosie Thomas and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman faces life-changing decisions in post–World War I London from the “master storyteller” and bestselling author of The Illusionists (Cosmopolitan). In Daughter of the House, Rosie Thomas returns to the marvelous Wix family. Nancy Wix, daughter of the stage impresarios Eliza and Devil, must find a way to keep London’s Palmyra theatre afloat, and to entertain audiences who have lost husbands and sons in the First World War. Nancy is a born performer, but she is set apart—even from her beloved brothers—by her psychic gifts. She must harness her troubling powers to keep her family and the theatre intact. It is a dangerous path and a lonely one, but Nancy’s bold choices lead her to love, and to the recognition of what it takes to become a modern woman. As another war begins to threaten the world, she is forced into a final, fateful confrontation with her demons, and must marshal both her ingenuity and her mysterious talents to fight for the survival of friendship, independence, and family. “Brilliantly bring[s] to life the end of the music hall era and the rise of spiritualism in the 1920s. I highly recommend this smart, gothic, and romantic page-turner.” —Historical Novel Society “[Thomas] creates a dynamic protagonist involved in an uncertain romance, and her other principal characters are equally well-rounded.” —Kirkus Reviews “A long, appealing yarn of a story, Daughter of the House is a sequel to the author’s earlier The Illusionists but is eminently readable as a stand-alone novel.” —Booklist

Book excerpt: When twelve-year-old Riley's parents move him and his identical twin brother, JJ, to a new house, it doesn't take him long to sense something's not right. Maybe because their strange house was once a grave keeper's cottage, sitting on the grounds of a cemetery. A cemetery whose last person was buried over 200 years ago. One night, Riley sees a woman in black holding an old lantern looming eerily in the graveyard. Their parents chalk this up to nerves about moving and Riley's love of reading scary books. Luckily, someone does believe him - his new friend Ethan, who loves ghost-hunting. And JJ might not see the same things, but he's got Riley's back. Together, they need to figure out who this woman is and why she seems to want to scare Riley away from his new home.
