Book Description
King Bwene of the Baradi faces a stark dilemma. A plague is devastating his people, and the only possibility of salvation is relocating his kingdom from the lowlands to a place where the disease doesn't flourish. But when he attacks the ape-men of the plateau, suddenly the hordes of semi-humans come boiling down from the heights, overrunning his land with their superior strength and numbers. He sends emissaries to the Ho-Tus, another race of humans on the other side of the plateau, to seek their help, but they kill anyone unrelated to them. As the days grow ever darker and the prospects of his people's survival diminish, Bwene must deal with a murderous Queen, treachery within his own ranks -- and a beautiful refugee from the Ho-Tus! Another classic fantasy by a master of the genre.

Pages : 171
Book Description
There is an age-old myth about the Himalayas being home to a ferocious beast called the yeti or the abominable snowman. Are the legends true or just a product of human imagination? After the death of their parents in a car accident, Zaraveeh and her elder sister (mimi) Mavih leave Itanagar to stay with their Aunt Lobsang in the picturesque town of Tawang, a place of inhospitable winters but generous and warm-hearted people. In Tawang, Zaraveeh leads a happy childhood with her sister (who has stopped speaking after the accident) under the care of her aunt. But as life would have it, when their aunt dies of cancer, she finds herself lost in a dark pit of helplessness and depression. On a hunch that climbing hills and mountains could be her calling, she makes an attempt to climb Yarchin, a peak she can see from her home, and which has fascinated her from when she was a child. As Zaraveeh tried to make a difficult descent, a miscalculation leads her to slip and fall. When she regains consciousness, she finds herself staring into the lion-like amber eyes of a strange creature, and now she is terrified that her life is over and that the beast will in all probability kill her. What happens to Zaraveeh? Will the creature kill her? Or by a miracle, will she be able to escape?

Book Description
To the outside world, Siena McMahon has a fairy-tale life. Born into a great Hollywood dynasty-granddaughter of movie legend Duke McMahon, daughter of billionaire producer Pete McMahon-she is blessed with beauty, brains, and wealth...a proverbial princess. Yet behind the wrought-iron gates of the sprawling McMahon mansion in Hancock Park, her life is far from idyllic. The McMahons are bound together not by love but by infighting and ambition. When a gold-digging English aristocrat, Caroline Berkeley, worms her way into their lives and their home, the family's potent mix of jealousy and wealth explodes. Packed off to school in England, Siena starts making plans to leave the moment she arrives. She is determined to become a Hollywood star in her own right-just as her grandfather had said she would be. And once back in L.A., the rejections, betrayals, and failures she'll face will only make her stronger and tougher than ever before. But at what price? In the utterly dysfunctional landscape of her life-among friends, lovers, and family-she must find the people who will help her survive, help her become the person she was meant to be, help her be truly Adored. Set in the most glamorous cities of the world-L.A., London, Paris, and New York-Tilly Bagshawe's debut novel is like the real-world Hollywood it mirrors: deliciously escapist, wickedly sexy, and always irresistibly compelling.
